Search Results: boss talking up a guy

My long tint friend ended up being my boss because I was hired to be his right hand person. Not like a secretary but like an associate. It turned out to be a mistake.

When I got hired he stopped talking to me. Didn't train me. Nothing. I was always left alone no one to talk to and I didn't exist to him. Blow to my ego.

This became a big issue because he thought I developed an attitude problem when I was just so disappointed at what I thought was me losing a friend and he was a bad boss. Plus he was being territorial and telling people not to bug me.

Then it got awkward cause when the guys at work wanted to go to a family fun center he begged me to come so it was. 5 of us. I was happy he went out of his way to beg me to come. He spent the entire time goofing off with the others barely said a word to me. So I shut down. This happened a lot meetings, after work stuff I'd not get acknowledged. It's had me in years a couple of times and we had to have heart to heart talks I don't know why so I got quiet and shut down. Later in I found out it was cause he didn't know what to say to me cause I was always quiet. I kept telling him I got quiet because of being left out but he still thinks it got awkward cause my quietness caused it. So I accepted we each had a diff view of the situation.

So I initiated a lot more. Overall it has made him initiate more he gave me a thoughtful and expensive gift for Christmas but yet he still treats me diff than others. Granted in quiet but he jokes and is talkative with everyone at work and outside of work.

With me , he hasn't ever ask me to join for lunch, barely asks how I'm doing, barely talks to me about anything work related unless he has a question. Although he's improving and obviously trying I don't get what's stopping him?

What would you think of you were me?
