When new supervisor takes against you

My new technique is to reduce what I say. Statistics only. Focus conversation back on them. Wait it out…

+1 all this and apply for other jobs!

DP but in my feed agency, I have a supervisor who heads my office and intermediate "managers" within the office who don't do the official tasks of performance ratings, approving timecards, etc.

I had and still have issues with my sexist and racist manager and that is the advice that is always given. Look for another job! as if that's very easy.

I’m managed by multiple people. I’ve received great reviews and have good relationships with everyone. I get along with my coworkers. I’m a bit of an unusual thinker but that attribute has been praised repeatedly by my managers. Fast forward, there is a new manager who I am not a match with. I sensed this but didn’t make much of it but she has written me up and had a private meeting with me about decorum and my personality. I’ve attempted to integrate her feedback. I spoke with other supervisors, and they disagree strongly with her take but it’s all very awkward. I would be fine to let it be but she seems committed to going out of her way to critique me and make my life difficult.


WWYD? I will continue talking to my other managers. I’d prefer not to turn this into a big issue but I feel that she’s forcing my hand. She’s a fine person she tends more toward rigidity and I’m the exact opposite.

I agree with the other posters. You are the problem for the simple fact that you went to talk to other supervisors about your new supervisor. As a rule of thumb "never talk about your supervisor/manager to others in a upward positions because they could be coming back and talking to your manager. Right now, you are creating drama or office gossip. If you need validation, then the new manager concerns about you must be true.

Np. I fully agree. I have 2 female supervisors who are both extremely unprofessional. One does nothing for the last 5 hours of her work day because her boss goes home and she stays and flirts with all the men at work and does absolutely nothing then gets peeved if you ask her to come over to help you and will rat you out for bothering her flirting to the other unprofessional female manager. That manager discuesses sex openly and is extremely unprofessional often making sexual innuendos and only letting her friends act unprofessional but if you slip she will sit you next to the most flatulent coworker. Just both HUGE BIT CHES and unprofessional. I don't know how the heck people hire these clowns and pay them 80 or 90k a year to do nothing.

Ugh, my DH had this happen and if your other managers aren’t going to step up because it’s awkward or whatever you are going to have to get a new job. In my DH’s case the person was really a nut case and after he left she churned through people for years before eventually being pushed out herself.
