How to deal with my supervisor

2 replies

I've approx 13 years experience doing my job but for 3 different companies. I think I'm good at my job and have always had Positive comments from my managers . Anyway I've been in my current job 18 months or so , my supervisor I generally get along ok but recently I've been more and more annoyed with her .
I've raised some things in my annual review and was told this would be discussed with her but I doubt anything has been said .
Mainly it feels that she actively goes looking for errors amongst the team no matter how minor . My main issue is she tends to do my work or pass my work onto other team members if she's busy . Usually I just shrug my shoulders as I have other things to do but it's my work my job I feel I should say something and not only that I want to be seen that I'm doing a good job . I take pride in my job . I'm not making any mistakes that I'm aware of , my last review was very positive. I think it's a control thing as I took over her job as she moved onto the supervisor role but it seams she doesn't want to let go .
How do I go about handling this ?
Oh for what it's worth other team members feel the same and dislike her for similar or other reasons.

Sounds like your supervisor feels threatened by you.I have had this.and it is awful chipping away at my self esteem and making me feel worthless.
It does sound like a.control/bullying thing.Sorry.

Slightly different situation but this struck a chord with me

I was at a place in the past where it suddenly felt like managers were looking for errors - the ones they came up with weren't even errors IYSWIM but they told us they were.

then at appraisal time, everyone did badly.

it turned out that the Chief Executive had got it in his head that people would work harder if they thought they were doing badly. The atmosphere had been going on for a while, but at appraisal time, there was so much concern from people who thought they were doing well now suddenly feeling they were incompetent, it built up a head of steam.

is it possible something like that has happened?
