Been really let down by my boss today (he's chief and I'm his deputy so a very close working relationship). Have spent the last 2 years supporting him and, as a result, have alienated myself from colleagues. He is emotionally needy and pretty narcissistic (I can see that now). This week I have had to make a really tough decision, one I had his full agreement on and which he encouraged me to be the face of. We have had a little backlash from staff and he has done a complete U-turn and thrown me under the bus so it looks like I'm a cold-hearted cow and he is the knight in shining armour rescuing them all. I just feel so sad and let down. I don't really know what I expect to get out of sharing this on here but I just need to get it off my chest I suppose. Time to chalk it up to experience and move on but feel so sad
