Had my midyear review this week. The boss had nothing to say to me... she called the meeting and then stared at me...saying nothing, but the look on her face was daring me to say something... I felt like I was being sized up... and I really wanted to stand up and say "What is your issue? You get paid to be a supervisor, that means you have to talk to me even if you don't want to. You are paid to do this" I did not because challenging these people would be worse for me. In the insurance company I would have called her out, but 29years gives you confidence... I haven't a leg to stand on here.

I did ask about the systems conversion for my work that I thought was to happen in October. I am concerned as my knowledge is in a niche system that I think could go away. She told me that the project has been pushed back and may not make it until 2019.

They also moved my desk 2 weeks ago. I hate where I sit. I get in at 5:15 AM (an hour early) and the dinosaur is all over me. I reminded her that I don't start working for another hour... but she is passive aggressive and starts with it as soon as I sit down... sigh....

Personally I think she moved me because I was getting too friendly with the manager since he asked me to help find a dog and now that he has a dog...

she says she wants me to me the team leader for the dinosaur and my trainee. Sigh. I am not cut out to lead. I an good as a 32 or #3. I am responsible and know what to do... but wrangle people is not my thing. I was told that I should keep the dinosaur busy but don't let her do anything that can be seen... WHAT? Franky she should be laid off. Then there is my trainee who should have her phone dumped in the toilet. She takes 7 hours to do what I did in 1.5. I like her as a person, but as a worker I would also let her GO. I. DO. NOT. TRUST. HER. TO. COMPLETE. ANYTHING. Today I received 100 cases to work. I turned to the dinosaur to get her to help and she says she can't as her one lung is bothering her and her arthritis is making it hard to type. I turn to the trainee and she leaves for the day as her eyes are bothering her. The boss says that I should not be afraid to ask for help... UMMM...just who can help. My team is lame....

The only thing I can make of this is that she trusts me with a niche thing and to wrangle people ... but she just isn't interested in my as a human.

I do think I irked her whenI went over to the manager to show him a big white dog we had at the shelter and I asked about his pup. And it irked her that he had a conversation with me.

Have you ever been able to convey to the manager just what a hot mess some of his employees are? Your supervisor should fall down an elevator shaft--onto some bullets.

How come your boss gets to be your boss?

She's utterly incompetent!

no, your boss has it out for you and you would do well to start documenting her shit.

It sounds a horrible situation to be in. It's important to be happy in one's work as we spend such much of our lives there. Is retirement too far in the dim and distant future?

Yes, things can change and we never know what is around the corner. Life tends to be cycles of ups and downs. I do hope that it changes for the better soon for you. I managed to retire at 60 and 10 months with a full state pension and a small occupational pension. Now retirement for most people is 65 to qualify for a full state pension and even a little later depending on current age.
