Work moan

[Hazel104]

Right need to have a work related moan so I don’t snap at my boss!

Just the two of us in the team, a few months ago she is complaining her workload is too much, I offer to help and say I’m happy to take on more. She gives me a project. I’m really pleased and excited as its quite a high profile project and get stuck in, all going well everyone happy/impressed.

This morning she starts taking over and I find out there are few calls/emails she has had that she has not passed onto me, now she tells me “oh I’m quite interested in this I’ll take over from now” – just as it’s getting to the really interesting bit!

your boss and this woman.. the same person?

[Hazel104]

Yep

[sara3]

then you should have seen it coming, lol!

seriously, she's insecure and you're supporting her. she must know how transparent that is. well done for being a better person than her ;o)

are you going to kill her now?

[Hazel104]

She has just asked me a few questions as she doesn’t understand some of the techy bits, I'm doing a lot of deep breathing and tongue biting today!

get some blu-tak, make an effigy, get pins........

you'll feel so much better ;o)

just smile through gritted teeth...........and don't do it again.

Years ago I went on a workshop and one of the speakers was a woman very high up in HR.........she said the key to getting on in business was not just doing a great job, it was letting everyone know what a great job you were doing.

Great idea sara ;-)
It’s odd she has been such a great boss, so supportive. Think I will stick to my role (we have very different roles really). Plus I had decided over the weekend to stay another year, I’m sticking for the next bonus and then clearing off!

Thank you for listening x
