Been at current role just over two years. Boss is a nitpicking nightmare, any little thing is brought up and made into a huge ‘drama’. I’m overwhelmed by it all now and fed up. I enjoy the job but fed up with feeling undervalued etc etc.
Our workload has tripled in the last few months, I’ve been put onto projects and made to take on extra work to the point I’m flat out and feeling burnt out. Have brought this up with boss and senior management a few times now and have been told it’s like that for everyone and in other words, get on with it. I feel I’m spread so thinly trying to get the work done and with a nit picking manager it’s becoming really shit. In fact today I’ve had 5 teams messages berating me for this that and the other.
My boss has no tact and made a jokey comment last week that he’s going to ruin my career by making me take on even more work. I queried his ‘comment’ and was told it was a joke. Not very funny though right? He has form for making ‘jokes’ at me like this and it’s really starting to make me wonder whether he does want me out of the job.
really not sure what advice I’m wanting here - I’m not sure if it’s worth making this more official? I’ve never had a manager like this before and I’m not sure what way to turn. I am wanting to perhaps move jobs but I enjoy the role (before the massive workload increase) and don’t want to jump ship too soon.
