> 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.
>
That sounds aweful. I want to send you a present....
> I can deal with that too, though it seems quite childish for him to act that way.
>
really...Well I feel bad for you.
> 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.
>
I hate that when people ignore me....and never say what they want to say openly.
> 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.
>
I can see you must be feeling bad from this. I would be.
> 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???
>
There are a lot of bosses out there that are passive/aggressive...it's everywhere.
> 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?
>
I have to chuckle...Am I being bad too?
