I have been working seriously and responsibly, but winter is the off-season and the business is not busy. The boss thinks my salary is on the high side, so he says in all departments that my ability is not good, but he doesn't dare to fire me directly for fear of paying the liquidated damages, so he forces me to leave voluntarily in various ways.
A coworker had a similar experience before, and the boss's tactics were so impressive that it was hard to defend himself.
I was always left out of departmental meetings to discuss things, the leader was indifferent to me, and when I communicated about problems, he either pretended not to hear me or changed the subject.
It's almost the end of the year, so I'll just have to put up with it for the sake of my paycheck.
The company didn't bring it up again after the first of the year, but it wasn't easy to find a job for a living, so I had to stick with it.
The new management trainee, I had wanted to bring her along well, and being more honest myself, I told her who the boss's inner circle was in the department, everyone's situation, and about my situation.
As a result, she every day and other coworkers to mix together, when I said to go together, but she went with others, although walking back, but only after walking far to say hello to me, head turned away, I did not chase up. At lunchtime, she called a circle of people, only did not ask me.
At the potluck, she secretly toasted others, and they even winked at her to take me with her, but she shook her head and refused.
I was worried that she was not safe as a girl and offered to give her a ride together after the gathering, but it turned out that when she got to the place, she just thanked the others and ignored me.
Just told me goodbye or something. I was a little angry and felt pathetic about how I got into this mess.
What to do with someone who always feels petty and sensitive, but doesn't think it's their problem?
Hello, owner! I'm Whale Social Worker Koboku.
First of all, I give you a warm hug and understand very well how you feel. From your description, it does seem that there are some problems with relationships at work, but when analyzed, it becomes clear that there are things we can adjust ourselves to.
For example, being too out of touch with your new leader, telling them everything about your job and leaving nothing to chance may not be appropriate in the workplace, and could easily offend people and affect the relationship. Also, is a detail like giving someone away at a potluck dinner due to an oversight or inexperience? It may have something to do with emotional intelligence or social calendar, but with this experience, you'll handle it better next time.
Best wishes~ (whale social worker 🐳)
