[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She just doesn't like your vibe. You are ordering her around but she is your boss and she doesn't think she needs to be racing to answer you. You are fed up with her not snapping to attention and retaliate by seeking someone else to do her job on your time line. Just chill [/quote]

a boss who would undermine a subordinate like that is just … wow. [/quote]

The subordinate undermined the boss by racing to ask another employee (at presumably the bosses level or higher). That guy was annoyed at having to do boss lady's job and told boss "Hey, why is underling asking me this stuff? What's going on over there?" Op reached out because she has tunnel vision that her work needs to be completed asap and got frustrated too quickly by boss. Boss sees this makes her look bad and snaps at op. [/quote]

Op here. I feel like this is how my boss perceived it which makes me sad as until recently I really liked her and would never do anything intentionally to undermine or upset her. In this instance, she told me to go to xyz and I did and it appears xyz did not appreciate it.

My boss instead of sticking up for me doing my job, clearly somehow made this into my fault. And now she’s avoiding me and being cold to me.

Generally this place is a slower paced organization and I do need to relax. I get anxious close to deadlines as things are left very last minute. By my boss and her supervisors and I fear if something falls through it will be my fault.

I just cant seem yo win. [/quote]

My advice is to not get worked up or anxious about the deadlines. It sucks to have to ballet dance your way into everyone's graces but for now relax and apologize to boss (even if she made more blunders with her communication and feedback)[/quote]

yes. smooth things out while you look for a new job. [/quote]

Op here. In my feedback session, I did say I feel awful that I am being perceived that way and I hear her. I am used to a more fast paced work place and I will definitely try to fit the slower paced culture here.

I am offended however that she had to be mean and compare me to that office space boss. How about a “ thanks for making sure everything is going well” I’m getting a slap back for… being proactive and working? [/quote]
