My boss is insecure in his authority & he's trying to make my life miserable.?
Most folks in my office think my supervisor got his job by catering to higher ups rather than through hard work. I have really tried to stay neutral on the issue, but my boss acts very immature and has some obvious gaps in her knowledge of the work we do. But, some degree of not knowing is par for the industry as many issues are unsettled in the field. At any rate, my boss & one other supervisor seem to think I don't respect their authority and now they're trying to make my life miserable, or possibly worse. There are a many other supervisors and all the supervisees answer to all the supervisors in almost everything we do and all the other supervisors and even their supervisors think very highly of me and my work - so much so that when they had to pick two of us to stay and let 20 others go, I was one of the two chosen to stay. I have tried to tell my boss and the other supervisor that I respect their authority, but it seems they're out for revenge and I don't know how far they might go. The problem all began when, on separate occasions, they said I had made an error and I was able to show them that what I had done was correct. In my prior employment, that was always appreciated because it was important to get things right, but in this job, it seems there is greater emphasis on knuckling under no matter how wrong the supervisor(s) may be and despite the fact that we can be, and often have been, sued for errors. Since my attempts to assure both these supervisors that I absolutely respect their knowledge, experience, authority, etc., have failed, I've adopted the strategy of just letting them constantly pick apart my work (which is all reported to higher ups). Meanwhile, in my dealings with all the supervisors & their supervisors, I try to do everything the way a dream employee would. I have well-documented grounds for a grievance, but I absolutely do NOT want to do that. My question is should I stay the course of trying to be a dream employee & keep my mouth shut (I'm actively looking for a new job), or is there something else I should try? Your wise counsel will be greatly appreciated.

I understand you've documented grounds for a grievance. Good; and good for you for proving they were wrong. They don't like it. Tough. Keep the ball in your court. |

Stay the course and continue to look for better opportunities. Sometimes you just have to smile internally at how inept some managers can be. As long as you are trying to the right thing and do, you have nothing to fear. |
