What would you do?
I’m curious how would you all act if mistreated from day one by your immediate boss. Who kept saying let me say sorry for how bad I’ll be. Come the following work day she was awful the training was non existent she type on a old computer program the one that u need to know F keys to command where to go! She type say you got that? I’d say let me write it down she say “ there is no time for that! I spoke with her several times to please not snap and yell at me I just need her to tell me the proper F keys and just show structure what she wants! She told me she didn’t like my attitude , mind u I was very respectful each time and finally said attitude reflects leadership! She said constantly she should write me up for mistakes that as a trainee u are bound to have but especially when u are literally trying to figure job out for yourself- one ex: typed in spoke with sub and put the conversation because I didn’t put he called in front of spoke with she said I should be written up- am I wasting my time with this job ? I am not exaggerating anytime a question is ask she flips out and this is just training curious would u all take this or walk?
Ask her what she is specifically not happy about so you can work on it (if it is your issue) or you can help her (if it is her issue). Make an effort to let her know you want to "help" her in whatever way you can. Maybe she is dealing with someone horrible which may be why she is in a fowl mood, and it does seem like she is a bad mood and taking it out on others. Ask her specifically what she is not happy with about you so you can "work on it". Or, ask her what she is not happy about, maybe she'll open up to you if she knows you are a safe ear. If this effort doesn't work, then all bets are off - then you have made a direct effort to make the working environment better and you will know that she is beyond help and is just miserable and won't take any help and won't offer any. Then, it may be time to look elsewhere.
Christina, I am an English teacher and I can see that you English is your second language. That may be the first "problem" your boss has with you, unfortunately. I have had bosses like yours before. It appears that nothing you do will please her. She has made it clear that she just doesn't like you. You need to get out but try to find another job first. I never quit one job without having another. That is why I always have at least two jobs at the same time (one full time and one part-time). I have had people tell me "there's no time to write instructions down" too. That's just ridiculous. If I write things down, I never have to ask again. I would go to Human Resources and ask to be transferred. Once I worked for a major corporation and my supervisor was sabotaging my work every night after I left. She'd get on my computer and ruin the work I did for the day. This was when the latest in technology was to copy work on hard discs, but she didn't know about that yet. So, I came in every morning with my work copied on a disc and when she asked me how I was doing, I said, "Just fine! Thanks for asking!" She couldn't figure it out.
If you have not been terminated pray and look on line for various key functions. Donot give them the satisfaction of quitting. Find a loyal person to help you. Never talk bad about the ignorance of boss. If you need your job over look arrogant boss. Jobs are hard to come by. Every job has a ignorant supervisor or individual (s) trying to still your blessings.
Considering she apologized on day 1 about how bad she'll be.......need I say more?
A WISE OLD OWL ONCE SAID FOR THOSE THAT STRUGGLE AND THATS MOST OF US. a 70% volume that are not part of the 30% rich or semi rich . IF YOU HAVE A SERVICE THAT COST A MILLION DOLLARS THATS OK AS LONG AS YOU CAN MAKE THE PAYMENTS AFFORDABLE . that way you capture every aspect of the entire volume .
Micromanagers are the worst. Look for something better.
Not for nothing, but I need to comment on the situation you described with you8job. Did you read the text that you wrote? You went around the world and the fact is I don't understand anything about what you are trying to say. Don't way to sound sarcastic, but are you handicapped or have some other kind of mental illness or something. If your conversations with your employer sound anything like what you wrote, I dont blame her for reacting to you the way she did. Sorry but I think you need help. See a therapist!
Well in my opinion if she can write you up for mistakes that you have made I'm sure you can write her up for her mistakes (whatever she is not doing correctly). Be strong and stand strong. People will walk all over you if they smell fear. Don't let her walk over you and treat you that way. Maybe you are too nice and she knows it. Now if it was me and I know me, I would have set the record straight at her first attempt to belittle, disrespect me, etc. without even being rude. She would have got the message. You are allowed to say what you mean and mean what you say! Just a thought but maybe she feels like you may be there to take HER position and she is sabotaging your training. I have heard of people doing this. If you are still uncomfortable working there after taking into consideration the comments that are posted, start looking for something else before you quit this job. Good Luck with everything!!
I'm definitely in need of work! My name is Tina.
I appears she has some issues. If finding another job is not a possibility, the next time she 'apologizes' ask her if there is something you can do to help her. I would look for another job. I seems she needs counseling but she has to decide that on her own.
