Since that seems to be a poignant topic around here lately for a few of us...
My boss, as I posted last week, is upset with me for not getting the newsletter out on time as he expected. Okay. I get it. He's mad.
So here it is, the week before Christmas, and on Wednesday he gives the other people (my coworkers) he supervises little Christmas gifts - but not me.
I can deal with that too, though it seems quite childish for him to act that way.
Then, today, he leaves for 2 weeks, for the holiday, and he doesn't say anything to me. Not "Merry Christmas," not "Happy Holidays," not "Go to h**l..." Nothing. The only reason I know he's out for two weeks is because I just happened to check his schedule - he certainly never told me.
So, obviously, this goes above and beyond being angry about the newsletter. Obviously, to me anyway, and maybe I'm not being rational here...obviously he doesn't like me. I mean, as a person, as a fellow human being, not merely as an employee.
Something's gonna have to give. Soon. I have dealt with this crap for too long now! All of my jobs since college (in the PR field) have been like this - where I've had bosses who, for some reason, resort to acting like children when they don't get their way. What's up with that???
At least my former boss liked me as a person, even though he wasn't a good manager. I guess, anyway.
Work sucks. Period. And I hope he has a terrible holiday. Maybe he'll get the flu and be sick for the entire two weeks! Isn't that terrible?
