Thanks yall. I was worried about work, and then today confirmed my suspicions. My boss is just impossible. I know her well enough by now that I knew she was up to something. And then today we had a meeting where she basically told me I'm failing to do my job. I don't want to get all into it, but believe me, its all a bunch of crap. I know I've been doing not only adequate, but above average work, and she will never convince me otherwise. Not that I haven't tried repeatedly to do what she requires, I have literally worked myself to exhaustion everyday for the past few weeks. Its just impossible to please her.
One good thing though, I found out about an internal job opening that involves working on the web, which is exactly what I've been wanting to do! I've been wanting to go from graphic design to web design (or something that will get me started in it) for a long time now. So wish me luck!!!
When I spoke to my boss today about applying for the job, she said if they called and asked for a reference she would have to tell them how I'm not doing well. Luckily they don't ask the current boss for a reference, you just have to be eligible to apply and then interview. But it upset me, and I cried and people noticed and it was embarrassing. At least I waited until she went to a meeting though.
Everyone at work knows how awful she is. When I went to a work party last year, everyone kept introducing me as, "This is T, she works for C... poor thing." I swear that kept getting said over and over, by different people! Today people kept telling me not to let her know she was getting to me. Honestly I don't think anything I do one way or the other will make any difference.
So anyway, tonight I will go online and apply for the job. Send good vibes!!!!
