We all have or had jobs. And unless you're self employed, we've all had bosses, some good, some bad. I'm my 20+ years at my BigBoxStore, I have had a lot of bosses. Each of them different, some better than others.
And then there's that one kind ..... ugh. I have a boss who wants to be the smartest person in the room, and wants everyone to agree with that. Yeah. That's not me. And I get that "stinkeye" look when I question something. And have gotten complaints when I'm not one of those fake sugary girls who doesn't play along with the small talk that seems to be expected. When someone asks how are you? Are they really wanting to know? Usually not, so why fake it?? Besides, if I'm not ok, do i want to admit that to a boss??? Nope.
I started this post because in my eval, I was told that this boss wants to be rid of me and my supervisor because we don't play along with the game. *sigh* Good thing I'm close to retirement. This may move it up rapidly.
How much avoiding can I do until I make up my mind? Or should I be looking to transfer to another position? Another store? These lovely thoughts sure ruined my Friday!
One thing for sure, less energy spent on going above and beyond for these folks. While I like the people I work closest with, the rest of them don't deserve the extras that I do.
Time to put me first.
