I work in health and safety I applied for a promotion within work then didn't get the job I'm fine with that. But it was all a bit weird. No one got the job. Then someone internal got the job who didn't apply. He causes a lot of issues and is paid a substantial more than other people. He gets lot of peoples backs up.
He has been put on the role for 6 months.
I have been good to him and while people are calling him I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I have noticed he's with drawing information and keeping things to him self which is making my now really hard.
He has made little remarks that have put me down recently.
He is forever sexist and (I'm 38) saying are u having a hot fluss shit like that.
The ceo requested that I present at a meeting one of our new policy's. And I was added to the agenda over a month ago.
Yesterday I was prepping for it and he said u don't need to go I will do it for u. I said no it will be good for me (I'm doing level6 and experience will be good)
So I could tell he didn't want me to go.
Then today he came up with another excuse for me not to go and when I questioned him why he said it was above my level. Even tho CEO requested me to do it.
I normally keep quite but I said I'm not happy with his comments and he give me some bs excuse as he was doing it to keep them on my side.
He then back tracked and said I should go.
I said no I will not go if my own boss has very little faith in me and he completely went back on what he said.
So I'm not going and I know I'm being stubborn but I'm sick of being treated like he's better than me.
The man does absolutely jack and I keep the department running he does the bare minimum.
Can I have some advice. I'm I being petty. Did I do the right thing. Should I take it further.
I'm not gas lighting my self at being too sensitive but every one thinks he's a lazy no it all. Help
