Boss and cold team dynamics

[meandmygirl1]

Hi

Been in new job for 7 months. I love my job but there as some issues with my boss and 1 woman in our team.

She fancies our boss and it's extremely obvious. According to other team members he's not interested. Both my boss and woman who fancies him in the team are single.

She is treated differently by our boss. Examples being - he calls her on mobile when on annual leave and she takes these calls away from her desk in closed meeting room. He doesn't call anyone else in our team who are at same level as her. They also regularly speak out with office hours.

She is attending and being put forward for more training than other team members.

She is beginning to act as if she is our line manager even though she isn't.

The team feel that she is being treated differently and possibly going to be promoted solely based on this exclusive relationship.

I am also keen to be promoted but I don't think this will happen now due to the above despite me being more competent than her.

I am considering looking for another job.

Any advice welcome.

Any chance you have strong enough rapport with her that you could bring this up and point out the appearance it's creating of favouritism? Either alone or as a group otherwise someone from above needs to intervene.

Your options are either to accept it and find a way to be reasonably okay with it or to look for another job, as tough as that might be.

Sorry with him

Hi

Some team members were thinking of doing this.

Have you considered that she might just be better than you- or better than you at smarming up?

That's the way it is today- suck it up or leave, I guess.
