[quote=Anonymous]As the title says, I feel like I'm about to have a falling out with my boss. I've been in my position for 3 years and am part of a 2-person team (my boss, who is at the director level, and me). I was hired for a specific function in our department, and I have been running that function independently this entire time, with a lot of great success and accolades.

We have had some recent struggles with a certain project that have nothing to do with my performance, but rather some outside factors that are beyond our control. Nevertheless, I think she has been trying to prove to the big boss that she's doing something about it, which has resulted in a lot of busy work for me (said busy work has yielded no results). Also, I had previously taken it upon myself to start tracking certain metrics and presenting them at appropriate times. No one had previously tracked metrics for my function, this was my initiative. She has suddenly taken over developing and presenting these metrics. She also takes feedback I have given her regarding market trends relative to my function and presents them as if they are her own observations, rather than asking me to speak with them. So, suddenly I am feeling micromanaged and as if she is taking credit for some of my initiatives and recommendations.

We have always had a pretty good working relationship up until now, but I either need to address this or leave because I'm not happy with these changes. Any advice on how to present all of this if I do speak with her about it? I am leaning toward leaving anyway because of other reasons, including the crushing workload, but it might be worth a conversation.[/quote]
