Hi all
Thought I would post here as I have been feeling anxious and lost my confidence at work and thought you could help me ascertain if i am being over-sensitive or if it is him. I am a bit of a worrier so need some perspective!
I work in a cut throat industry, part time, and have done for a number of years. I feel I have always been highly regarded with previous bosses but this has done a u turn with current boss. My confidence has gone downhill and I am a nervous wreck on my days off.
To give a few examples - he is not the best at giving direction, has an idea in his head but doesn't communicate what he wants properly. So when he gets something not what he was thinking of, he scapegoats and blacklists the person. He does this this in a passive aggressive way and will make that person feel uncomfortable while he has banter with the rest of the team.
He will regularly ask my colleague to call me on my day off asking questions. Yesterday colleague rang to say boss was not happy with finished product and asked where real thing was as it looked like an 8 year old had done it. He was obviously trying to ruin my days off work and it worked. I ask them, not to contact me on my days off but he blames me for giving a bad handover. I always handover the best I can but things happen on my days off I cannot foresee.
Many people have left and written letters saying he is a bully but nothing has come of this. It is such a horrible atmosphere at work and. Am dreading going in tomorrow.
What do you think?
