Today, I get called to a "meeting" which is not unusual for my completely anal supervisor. We schedule for after lunch and I go on about my day. I also met with the office manager (my supervisor's boss and who used to be my direct supervisor)in the morning to discuss my ever increasing stress due to my supervisor. Nothing is resolved, of course.
Lunch time comes and goes and I am off to hear about what I assume I have done wrong with my work. I was in for a shocker! She lets me talk about my questions regarding work first, then it came. She pulled out a stack of papers she sais she "found" while looking for something while I was at a training. I admit, I am lazy and do not shred papers on a regular basis--hardly ever. So when the "to be shredded" drawer was discovered, I guess she thought she was going to find something on me. Plus, rather than ask me when these itmes were found, she proceeds to conduct her own "investigation" researching the papers that look like they should lead to something horribly incriminating against me. But... my friends I am not stupid. Why would I leave "evidence" of my wrong doings so easily to find? I wouldn't! Everything she "found" checked out--HA!

I really used to like my job, until I got her as a supervisor. Now, I am consistently wrong, nothing I do is right, and I basically cannot do my job according to her. Also, one more thing, I received 2 promotions within a year and a half (level 1 to level 3)which normally takes many years to accomplish. I also have a higher level of education than all the supervisors and their supervisors.
Now, I just cannot get over how betrayed I feel by this micromanaging beast from hell. I worked late to try and catch up on some work and before I left...I took most of my personal things with me. The office feels different and I feel as though no one can be trusted. I am and have been trying to get a better job more suited for my knowledge and education level, however, the Old Skool way of hiring is still upon us. Anyway, I ask myself and you...Why was I promoted so quickly and supposedly did a wonderful job until I was switched to this supervisor?
