I’m not sure what’s gotten into my manager but out of the blue he’s just grew some hate for me. Just the day before we were okay and he even walked up to me in a good mood. The day after… it all started.
He’s been really passive aggressive with me and just really rude to me. I noticed it’s ONLY with me and no one else is getting this treatment. I thought it was all in my head but he doesn't even say good morning anymore when he walks by.
He was really nice before and sweet and we had no problems with each other. Any time I ask him a question just one small question, even if it’s about a customer, he’s annoyed by that. I asked if I could use some sick time I had to go to an appointment (I barely do this and I don’t miss work at all). He told me he would think about it but instead ignored it and never got back to me. Another coworker asked the same thing and he did it for them right away for them. It sucks because he’s my manager and it’s obvious im going to need him for a lot of things yet I’m uncomfortable approaching him. Yesterday he called me from the work phone I didn’t even answer because I was afraid of what would happen. The boss over him is the same way with me. I can’t handle the passive aggressiveness and the unfairness when I have no idea what I did wrong for his reaction. I’ve already been struggling to get another job so it won’t be easy to quit.
AI Opinion
AskIt can be disheartening when workplace dynamics shift unexpectedly. First, consider having a calm and private conversation with your manager. Express your concerns without accusations. Say something like, "I've noticed a change in our interactions and wanted to check if there's anything I should be aware of or improve on." This approach can open dialogue and potentially clarify misunderstandings. Additionally, document any specific incidents of passive-aggressive behavior for your records. If the situation doesn't improve, consider reaching out to HR for support while continuing your job search for long-term well-being.
