[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my God did I this? I just gave notice last week. EXACT same situation. My supervisor was great. Her boss hated me. She also greeted and joked with other coworkers and purposely left me out. She was threatened by me because the head of our department (her boss) was good to me and tried to mentor me. Even high school wasn't this bad. It's not fair and it really bothers me that she gets away with this juvenile behavior. Everyone kisses her a$$ because they're afraid of her. I guess I need to play the game better.

No you don’t need to play the game - you just unfortunately need a different top boss. Not every place is like that. A couple of weeks ago, one person posted the tell tale signs of a toxic work environment but one thing to look for is turnover.  You can ask about how long the longest serving employee has been there. If going to a federal agency you can kind of gauge through online records just how long people have been there.  At the agency where I am when I looked, it was clear that no one was staying longer than a year or year and a half. I took the job anyway and noticed that everyone was young (for the field I am in) so that was a red flag that my office was not retaining mid-career and late career professionals and I was in my 40s. Literally by the end of the week I had started looking for a new job  due to this really awful supervisor and the high school like environment. [/quote]
