Help with a supervisor issue
in 9 to 5
I don't really post here, but I need help?.
Let me give you some background on our company. We are a small place with only 20 some employees. Our Director oversees the whole company. I report to the sales supervisor, who then reports to the director.
I have been having some issues with my supervisor lately. Not issues that have been affecting my work but more like personal issues. She has made it a point in the past to lecture us on going to her with issues and not over her head.
Well a couple weeks ago after some kind of little disagreement (I can not remember what it was about) she comes over to my desk (I share a room with her and 2 other coworkers) and starts telling me that I need to work on getting along with others and a bunch of other stuff. Then since I am not yelling back at her, she asks to see me in the conference room. So when we get in there and she tells me ?I don?t know what your problem is lately but I dread coming here because I have to work with you. You make it miserable here. ? What? At this point I should have said something to our Director but I didn?t want to stir up trouble.
Well the month since then has been bad. About once a week she says something like this to me. Today she said ?I don?t know what your problem is but you are miserable to work with.?
The next time our director and me will both be in the office is Friday. I would like to approach him about this? I have a valid complaint right? How would you start this discussion? I feel like such a tattletale but really don?t know what else to do. Thoughts?

I'm confused by this. Were you supposed to yell back at her?
In any case, have you asked her what in particular made her feel this way? I would start with your supervisor and have a face-to-face, telling her you want to air things out and get to the root of whatever problem she thinks there is so things can run more smoothly.
If she won't meet or won't give you a reason, tell her you think you should BOTH meeet with the director so he can mediate.

Totally agree with PP - I would schedule a meeting with your supervisor and pointedly ask her, "You've said lately that I'm making the work environment difficult for you. Could you provide some examples and help me to understand what I might do differently so that we can get along better and have a good working relationship?"
Is it possible you both dread coming to work because of one another? It's obvious you don't like this person, if it's showing all over your face, she probably feels it daily. You guys need to work it out. If you can't work it out one on one, then I would ask your Director to mediate the conversation.
DITTO. Bear in mind she may actually have a legitimate complaint about you but might not know how to confront you appropriately about it. The above is exactly what I would've recommended. If someone thought I was miserable to work with and had enough guts to tell me so, you'd better believe I'd be getting to the bottom of it before elevating it-I would not want to find out that it was a legitimate complaint in front of my boss' boss.
