I've been spoken to twice in the last fortnight by my boss for stepping on her toes. More in an irritated way than an actual formal talking to and I know that once you irritate her, it tends to stick.
She has not responded to my emails and requests several times in the last couple of months and I have varied my ways of contacting her. She rarely emails back, rarely answers her phone, rarely looks at her messages from me.
As a result, I took it upon myself to just use my initiative, however now she's annoyed about me making decisions without going to her first. She has voiced this to another member of staff and was also offhand with me about another incident during a meeting this week. I feel like I can't win. Obviously part of me wants to bluntly say... well you never ever respond or answer or call me back but it may not be worthwhile as it could make things a bit sour for me at work.
She clearly has favourites who I'm sure she answers to more often than me. It's really annoyed me because I can't win.
What's the answer?
