[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started a new job in January. I worked in the same job as some variety or another for approximately 10 years. I left for a variety of reasons, I was bored, better salary, career advancement. I could have stayed at that job forever. They loved me and were really disappointed I was leaving, tried to get me to stay, but couldn't match my new salary.

My new boss is very hard on me. Always redoing things I have done, telling me I am wrong, asking me to draft things so she can review before it goes out. I never experienced this at my other job.

I'm concerned she doesn't "like" me. (Not personally but as an employee). (I don't have a review until a year) am worried about getting fired or that I made a huge mistake. I'm an attorney in house if it makes a difference and it would be a huge problem if I got fired. Am I being over sensitive? Is this just how new jobs are?

In general I like the job but it seems as if this individual is just never happy. [/quote]

I'm sorry. Some people are awful.  I know people like your boss. They think they are the saviors of every project, and putting others down is just one way they make their own efforts seem more Herculean. If they praise anyone it's only when they can take credit for their work.

There is no benefit to pleasing these types.  Either look for a new job or develop a thick skin and realize this isn't about you, but how your boss sucks as both a manager and a person.[/quote]
