And it makes me frustrated & stressed. I can’t go into too many details as I’m worried it’ll be outing but for example, if one of my pre-schoolers is ill she’ll say things like “that’s kids for you!” And then “On your return we can crack on with those submissions!”
Or she just doesn’t mention anything at all. She has two grown up DC so she knows how tough it is being a working mum. But it’s all focus on minimising any problems that come up, reiterating work deadlines, she’s also very hasty to jump on me if I have a problem and can’t log on - my connection went down a few weeks ago & I told her I was on the phone to the supplier trying to fix it; all the while she was sending me messages - can you let me know how I can get the info to you do you can start making calls/we need to get this done by close of business today/are you online now & on it went. FFS just let me sort the problem & I’ll get back on with the work sooner. It really pissed me off.
I’m a good worker, I don’t slack, I fo what I’m told. I don’t expect any special treatment because I have young children but I’m beginning to feel like there’s no connection or empathy with this line manager. She is very positive, and likes to think and act positively but sometimes when what you’re saying isn’t acknowledged at all & it’s all about pushing work it does start to grate.
Anyone else have similar? AIBU for feeling frustrated?
