Dear Amy: I need some advice about my boss. In over 30 years of employment, the majority have been unpleasant or toxic workplaces, mostly because of difficult supervisors.
A few years ago, I started at a new job, doing building maintenance for a local municipality. It was great — my work requirements, the hours, my co-workers and most importantly my supervisor were wonderful.Unfortunately, my supervisor recently retired, and their replacement is hard to take.
You had a dream supervisor who communicated well with you and obviously trusted you to perform well. This new person does not possess that valuable skill set and has not started off on a good footing with you. Take notes and document your concerns in writing, with dates and describing specific incidents and issues for your later meeting with HR.I’ve now known him and his wife for over 20 years.
They’re asking us to go on another vacation with them, and we just don’t want to. We’ve tried the gentle excuse: “Oh, we tend to like different activities than you do.”
