If you guys follow my work drama... I need advice.

[misshark122]

This saga never ends! I want to be done with it but I HATE knowing what this supervisor has done and what she gets away with.

I had an evaluation LESS than a month ago in which she says she is completely satisfied with my work.

Yet 2 days ago I KNOW she had a meeting with the supervisor for the part-time job I wanted and I KNOW she said that I would be terrible for the job, that I am lazy, that I come in late and always want to leave early, that once I froze and had to have a counselor talk to me for like an hour (she seriously dreamed this up out of thin air. nothing like this EVER Happened and nothing ever happened that could even be twisted into this!). I've been late like 5 times since February and it's been like 5 minutes late because of traffic! If I come in at 745 she tells me "oh go and leave at 415 since you came in 15 minutes early!" I always said she does things "for you" but I always had the feeling she would take it later and use it against you.

So I want to know if I suck so bad and I am so lazy and such shitty employee then WHY DO I HAVE a good eval from her from less than a month ago? Why has she never counseled me on all my "issues?" I will tell you why, because it is complete and total B.S.!! Oh and she said I dress unprofessionally. I wear J Crew. I don't think you can make J crew unprofessional if you tried! HA! Anyway they can look through all of my notes with clients and they can see that I do my job.

Yesterday after I left early I emailed her and told her I would like a copy of my 6 month eval in which she told me she was completely satisfied with my work. Apparently she called that part time supervisor "shaking in her boots" about why I did that and the nerve I had to go and ask for that and what do I have up my sleeve? Oh she also said she couldn't believe I left yesterday and that I am weak and should have sucked it up.

WOW!!! She is so incredibly two-faced! It's CRAZY how awful she is.

I feel like our hands our tied and nothing will ever be done about her. I am going to quit for sure. But I feel like there needs to be a meeting with the higher ups or something.... with all of our team who will come forward and tell them everything she does.

She said you dress unprofessionally? Wtf. I'd call in sick and never return.

For real, they all suck and you don't need this.

I'm sorry you keep going through this shit. Does your supervisor have a boss? If so, is it someone you can have contact with? I agree with you, you need to talk to them. Who does your supervisor hand the eval in to? Would that person be willing/able to get involved?

HUGS!!!!

You are going to quit anyway, I would schedule a meeting to discuss the behavior of your co-worker who has made your time there very uncomfortable.

I quit a job once because of a horrible new boss and it bit me in the ass because when I filed a grievance, it was given no credit because I had turned in my resignation. The guy went on to be horrible to the rest of my staff and many more quit and he was never accountable.

I would forget about anyone and everyone at the company. Let that woman stew in her own juices.

I am not sure why you don't already have a copy of your evaluation. In all my jobs, I sign and get a copy of my own. I actually had to produce mine for my fellowship application.

Whatever you do, don't stir the pot on your way out. No one will give you credence as a departing employee. Put in your notice calmly. Exit interviews are so bizarre to me, especially in this case. It's not like it helps you. My exit info was completely about my benefits, new address, and a reminder about my confidentiality agreement. In no way did I feel the need to talk about how shitty my boss was to me.

Unfortunately every company has people like her. The best thing you can do is give your notice and let it go. You're not going to change the entire company culture and it's not worth stressing out about something that you can't change and that won't affect you in the future.

Seriously - this woman is nutso!!!

I think mav gave some great advice above. The only thing ill add/ask is if you've spoken with your HR department about her at all. In my experience HR is almost always underutilized - they're there to help the employees in situations exactly like this one.

I agree that you should definitely tell someone (HR, her boss or whoever) about the situation and that it's a key reason in your departure. Keep as much 'evidence' as you can - document, document, document. Being able to show someone what happened with an exact date and time goes a lot further than generalizations. Kinda a pain but if it doesn't help you directly, you're at least taking steps to potentially keep someone else from going through it.

I hope this all ends for you soon!!!

I'd ask to have an exit nterview with HR, if that isn't standard at your company. They can probably give you a copy of your review too.

[karebear304]

Well said, mav! I agree with what you typed word for word.

I completely agree. It's nice to have your principles and stand up for yourself, but outing this woman won't help you or the remaining staff members.

You've already won. You said that you don't like your current line of work and that you dream about opening up your pilates shop. You are accomplishing this dream step by step and this end goal seems to be within your reach. We all dream of having the financial flexibility to do something like that. You're in a very fortunate position.

Whereas this woman will remain a miserable prick. Like I said, you've already won.
