Have you ever had a manager who made your job harder instead of easier? How did you handle it?
I'm not going to lie I said if your going to make my job harder then you can do my job as well as yours i won't put up with that kind of boss i will quit before I let someone make my job harder even if I really need the job my mental health is more important than the job and not even a amount of money would I stay at a job where a boss makes my job harder than it already is
Yes I did I just did my job thats what im there for
Yes I have. I did my job and went to my manager to file my complaint and explain the situation. Sadly, that made the situation worse. I ended up resigning.
Today's job market is most head ppl try to push THIER work on you. A polite but effective way to answer extra work is this.. I'm sorry but my work calendar is maxed out. I would however consider taking on more work load should there be an adequate pay raise for added responsibilities.
Explain to them that we all learn our own way and my way is easier for me, as long as the end result is the same it should not matter
Anyone who is put in a management position should know that leading by example is best. Title doesn't make the person.
Yes, I have had managers that made my job harder, but I never let it show. I may have been dog tired at the end of the day but I proved to them that I was not a quitter, or a whiner, that I was a hard worker and up for any challenge they could send my way.
Yes, I had this experience about two years ago.
I had a situation that the HR director for a full time job 2 years ago. However, the HR manager became irrate that I became ill. The school was really far for me and I had a lot of stomach problems. Ironically, the same HR director lost his his job. But then, the HR director got a job at a workplace that I once worked at.
Yeah, I’ve dealt with that before—it’s frustrating when a manager adds stress instead of removing it.
What helped me was focusing on what I could control. I made sure my communication was super clear (emails, confirmations, documenting tasks), so there was less room for confusion or blame. I also tried to understand their expectations better sometimes it’s just a mismatch in communication styles.
When it got too much, I kept things professional and set small boundaries where possible, like asking for priorities in writing. And honestly, if the environment didn’t improve, I started looking for better opportunities because a good manager really makes a huge difference.
Curious to hear what kind of situation are you dealing with?
I told my supervisors I wasn't getting paid to do their jobs there pay grade was over my head I showed them how to play there own game and win the fiqures never lie but a liar always fiqures
