Hello Guys,
In the last 3 weeks I have been facing a work problem resulting from my direct manager bad conduct. He used to have this ticks like once a month but that was OK but now this have been going on daily for a while now and this can be listed below:
- Meaningless long conversations/interrogation just to prove that I have made a mistake or I am involved in a problem resulting from a miscommunication.
- Mean messages left & right whenever we are conversing in an issue and sometimes some disrespectful words in between.
- Objecting on every attempt I do to solve clients problems; please advise that I work in development & support as well.
- Objecting and expressing feeling of bother whenever I receive a request from a client that he is not ccd in. (not my fault)
- Asking for a sudden timelines on tasks I am doing without giving me any time to assess.
- Sometimes reminding me rudely that this task has exceeded my timeline for it (even for the small half an hour task) even tough I don't have a priority task after it.
- Obvious and in-your-face no trust behavior appearing in a sudden request to know what is delaying the task (for no priority tasks as well) and asking me to show him my screen to validate my words.
- My manager is a pro but the Lebanese kind of one, showing up at work @ 1pm, having his own company inside the company... Some of you will know what I am talking about.
This has recently turned into a toxic working environment and you need to know that I am a senior employee in the company, one of the founders of our core software and I have been working with the owners for 9 years now and we have been through many ups & downs and we have went though them all as team. As much as I am bothered with this recent conduct I am shocked and surprised as well. For now I am biting the bullet and avoiding an angry reaction from my behalf that will turn things into worse. My relating with the CEO (the person who hired me) is good and I have not addressed him with this issue.
If this behavior is intended to let me resign without firing me and giving my rights, this sucks big time; my compensation is not cheap so you need to count in the financial element in your advise.
Please give me your intake on this and please withhold your comments if you are not experienced in this kind of problems as your comments are very important for me to know how will I address this once and for all.
Thank you
