[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a toxic federal agency. My immediate supervisor appears to like me but his boss (a woman), clearly hates me. Examples:

1) She will come to work, walk down the hallways, say good morning to everyone but me.

2) Every time she communicates with me in writing or in person, it is dripping with contempt or sarcasm.

3) She especially likes to try and undercut me or humiliate me in meetings.

I’ve only been here 6 months. The office skews young and professionally, I am much more experienced than my co-workers by about 10 years. However I don’t boast or brag about my skills, am very low key, a team player, volunteer for additional work all of the time and have had the most wins/successes of my colleagues on some very big projects. However, she never compliments or congratulates me.

My immediate supervisor appears to like me but when his boss lobs jabs at me or is rude or condescending to me in meetings, he does not step in or speak up in my defense. That said, he has indicated that he wants to “protect me” from her and h[b]as tried to assure me that he has warded off other instances when she has wanted to come after me. [/b]

I have never had this happen at any job (am in mid 40’s). Even my toughest bosses have been professional and polite and expressed appreciation for my work.

Not really sure what to do here. [/quote]

sorry u are going thru this
Something about the bolded feels weird. your direct boss is in a tough position, for sure, but it feels alittle "[b]oh don't worry i am on yourside in private just not in public"[/b] [/quote]

This is OP. That is exactly what happens. In private he will say one thing but in front of her or our section, he is silent. So it is not helpful.  [/quote]

Right.  Well, I am “that guy” too—just know he’s a screwed as you are.  He can’t tell you to run. But basically, run.[/quote]
