Managed to blow up at my boss today and let him know that I am very aware that there are issues between us.

A few months ago, a co-worker quit because he was moving to Chicago. We were going to try to send him off with a computer so he could do some work for us remotely instead of hiring a contractor. One day, out of the blue, my boss says we are letting my co-worker go and we would not be working with him. My boss said he had had enough of my co-worker and wasn’t willing to work with him anymore. Admittedly, the co-worker was annoying and got on my nerves many times but we worked out way to co-exist and get the job done. I actually kind of liked him when he wasn’t annoying me. My poor co-worker honestly has no idea what he did wrong that pissed my boss off so much and why it reached the point it did.

Today, I told my boss that I feel that I am just a few steps away from the same thing as my former co-worker and he said, “Yes, you are.”

I had a glowing review from this boss in July. Now I am a short distance from him wishing he could fire me. I haven’t changed that much. My boss has said nothing about anything I need to change. My annual review is tomorrow and my boss says that is when we will go into these things. Arggggg. Your review is not the time to go into where you are not meeting standards. It gives you no opportunity to get it right. One of the big problems with this boss is that he doesn’t tell you his expectations.

I need out of here. My resume is ready. I know I need to burn to cd the stuff on the computers here. There is so much I should do that all I want to do it hide and ignore it all. Arrgggg.

When I have a good boss, I am a dream employee, when I have a bad boss, I seem to end up being a pain in the ass employee that they would like to see just fade away.

This is friends locked just in case. I doubt anyone at work that I wouldn’t want to see it would find it but better safe than sorry.
