I don't know if I am being paranoid, but I feel that my manager doesn't like me much. For example when I come in in the morning and said hello to everyone she never said it back to me but would said it to another colleague who came after me, same in the evening when I said goodbye, no goodbye from her. I know the big boss complained about me leaving on time as my colleagues are staying late, I can not stay late except for one day when the kids are at their father as I need to collect them from daycare before closing time, I have no support or family around to help me, an ex husband who won't help outside the day he agreed to have the kids (I wanted 50 50 but he had refused but that is another story). In order to collect the kids before daycare closed, I need to leave work on time if during the day i asked my colleagues if they need any help most of the time the answer is no so i stop offering, they can ask for help if needed. Furthermore my colleagues, most of the time, don't need to stay late, they are doing it because of management. I did an experiment the last time when my kids were on holiday with their dad to see why they are staying late, one is doing online course, the other one will always wait for the manager to leave before leaving. The one who leave after the manager, was even waiting for me to leave, when she saw no sign of me leaving she asked me why I was staying late so I just told her I don't have the kids today so I am catching up on work so she left. None of my colleagues will leave on time because it is frowned by management. My manager left maybe 30 minutes after finishing hour. Unfortunately for me if I finish 30 minutes late, I won't be making it on time to collect my kids from daycare. The daycare I am using have been very good to me, they are opening 15 mn earlier than their normal time, just for me to be able to be on time for work. I am going to have my annual review at the end of the month,I am sure it is going to be a topic of conversation again. Lately, I found my manager is looking for every little error I made or think I have made. She was asking me to fix something the other day which I did and when I told her it was fixed she said I have to be more careful and when I said what she means by that, she told me it was a silly mistake and I should really have paid more attention to details so I replied to her I wasn't the one who made the mistake, her reply was why did you fix it then. My reply was because you asked me to do it. No apologies whatsoever from her. I really don't know if I am being paranoid as life has been hectic with the kids and my patience has a result is wearying thin. I really don't know how to deal with work, I used to love my job and now I am dreading going to work.
