I joined a company recently. My manager was very friendly towards me for like the first month. As I am new to the industry she was very helpful in coaching me on the basic procedures. I was very grateful to her and trusted her.
As the day goes by she started to reveal her true character. I was performing well in my job and everyone in the company was praising me. But my manager did not praise me once even then I was not bothered as my responsibility is to complete my job perfectly and get my remuneration on time.
Things got worse, every morning she came to the office she will ignore me but I will greet my colleagues and also will greet her genuinely. She will not reply and I was not affected. She started to monitor me very closely.
She will stand behind my desk, shouting at me in front of everyone despite it being a small blunder. But when another team member does a mistake she will be like tell them nicely and say all will be fine.
My laptop given by my company was defective and it will shut down on its own. I have highlighted this issue to her several times but she turns deaf ears to me. She expects me to reply to her emails and supplier emails promptly. Due to my laptop problem, I couldn’t work efficiently because it keep shutting down.
Other department managers request the new purchase of laptops for their staff, unlike my manager who just ignore our team’s request and ask us to use the same old laptop. We don’t mind using it but it’s laggy and she is pressuring us to submit work on time and be productive.
She dislikes us advising as she thinks she is the only one who knows about everything.
Many staffs working under her tender their resignation as she keeps being unreasonable and taking credit for our work.
Since there was a high turnover, she ask me to do the work of the staff who left.
I just joined I have to cope with my workload and also juggle 3 person’s workload.
I didn’t give up I worked overtime and also worked on Saturday and Sunday to complete all the work.
But still, she scolds me saying I’m not efficient!
After much consideration, I left the company thinking that there would not be a career growth or work love balance here.
