Boss From Hell
I just started back to work this month after being on maternity leave for 10 months.
I worked here for a year with a very awful boss. She would constantly tell me "I didn't know how to do anything right." and she would inform me of this at my desk infront of the whole office (as I am the receptionist and work in the middle of everything) instead of taking me aside privately to her office. If I missed something on a report instead of making it a teachable moment (during my training) she would send an e-mail to the entire staff explaining my error and tell me she would just do it herself. And then wonder why I would make the same error again.
I feel like everyone is taking crazy pills because the entire office loves her. She has been with the company for 8+years while I've only been here 2+years. She is also our HR liason which makes me filing a complaint an issue. I've sat down with her regarding her tact on treating me, but it clearly didn't make an issue. I sent an e-mail to our HR headoffice with NO response.
She left for maternity leave a month before me with zero plans of returning to work, her replacment (whom is a lovely normal person) came in to completely replace her. I chose to stick it out through my pregnancy with this knowledge and return to work here instead of quitting and finding a new employment at the end of my maternity leave. I have just been informed she changed her mind (and has every right) and will be back in 3 weeks time.
I am stressed and now once again dreading working here. I can't just up and quit as I now have my daughter to provide for and it would be incredibly irresponsible. Also, I've applied for numerous positions in my field with 7+years of experience with ZERO responses. I just don't know what to do!
Welcome to my pity party!
