Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
My boss is being a real piece of work today. They’re coming at me like where’s this, where’s that, why did you do this (assuming what I did was wrong). Can you possibly just trust for one moment that I know what I am doing and the tasks on my plate are under control? It’s the assuming that I always get it wrong or have missed something until convinced otherwise that really grates on me.

Hard relate. Is your boss normally like that?
Most of the time, yeah. You can do 99 things right and 1 thing not to their liking. You’ll only ever hear about that 1 thing (positive feedback is very rare) and then they act the way they do.
Ugh… That’s depressing. Definitely a case of people who should not be managers, being managers. Rarely is it worth learning to “manage” them in reverse. Do you have any way to move away from this person?
