[quote=Anonymous]I have a new supervisor.  Although she is the supervisor, I know more about the immediate job because I have been there.  It is feeling like she is competing with me.  For example, if someone comes to ask a question, she will immediately jump in to help, but then it becomes obvious she doesn't know the answer and I have to get involved.  The weird part is we actually do different things on a day to day basis.  She also wants it to appear as if she is solving problems and coming up with idea,s when in fact they are my ideas.  It happened today, actually.  We discussed something and then soon after an email went out saying she had done what I suggested, but there was no mention of me.  She also doesn't like when our supervisor comes to me instead of her or when co-workers in a different area come to me instead of her.  She thinks everything should go through her.  Anything that could make me look better than her, she tries to take from me.  In not so many words, she said she can't give me work that could be good for her career.

How do I deal with this type of supervisor?  I feel like a supervisor should help develop employees, not hold them down and disadvantage them for their own gain.  [/quote]
