I hope everyone is doing okay. I had a good day today and I don’t write many good entries about my job. After days of being anxious, a lot being asked of me by both internal and external requests. I’m fatigued and it’s been almost two weeks. I decided to take a break Friday and Monday.
People make smart comments, treat me as an assistant, and think it’s all my responsibility to follow up or send reminders. I’m so over it that I am just ignoring the comments. MD “C” did just this. I put together a forecast as part of her performance evaluation and emailed her five days ago to review and let me know if she needed any adjustments. I ran into her today and she basically told me standing about 6 inches from my face if I needed her to take care of anything or she owed me any information I should let her know. She needs me to tell her if there is anything pressing it’s my responsibility to follow up with her. She is too busy to catch everything so I have to “ping” her and get her attention. I had people waiting for me and I responded, “okay.” I didn’t respond angrily or put her in her place because it wasn’t the appropriate time. I told MD “C”, I’ve gotta run I’ll be sure to complete your requests. I never did adjust anything on the work I did for her or respond to her crazy self. They sit here and collect a paycheck, but won’t take responsibility for anything.
There is quite a bit that is not my responsibility. Her evaluation is not part of my role and on top of that I have to help her look good. After working on her stuff she still craps on me with her threatening tone. Unexpectedly my co-worker bought my lunch and made my day. We walked over to a restaurant, had a great sandwich which she paid for so I was so happy. She talked about herself and her next chapter of graduate school, goals, and challenges. It supersedes the crappy. All the Best!
