Lamplight Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I am employee who never a goes to my bosses unless I need something. I manage my own workload, work my own schedule and deal with other employee drama on my own. I never go to him with problems and concerns and only contact him when I need approvals or for training. For the past couple of months, he has not replied to my emails. I haven't had any 1:1 meetings with him even though my other co-workers have them weekly. I have asked for a referral for several training programs and haven't gotten any replies. I even told him I was running late one day and didn't get a reply for that either. My other co-workers are traveling and getting training opportunities and I am not. This is a terrible job where I am constantly being criticized for one reason or another. The last people to hold this position quit in less than years. I came into job not knowing a thing about it and survived. In the last year, I've applied for other jobs that require travel and move and gotten turned down for all them. My performance reviews have been good and I was given an award but, I don't know the reward is for nor has it been presented to me. He told me that I was easy to work with so not sure where his behavior is coming from. How should I handle this situation?
2sunny Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Request a 1 on 1 meeting. Outline all your concerns and get answers that promote action.
clia Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 If you work in the same building as your supervisor, get up, walk down to his/her office, knock his/her door, and have a conversation. If you don't work in the same building, pick up the phone and call him/her. There are many ways to communicate other than e-mail. Perhaps your supervisor is not a fan of e-mail and would rather actually have a conversation.
luv2b3fun Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 You seem to be doing a lot of whining. If you do not like your current situation, stop hiding behind your emails. The simple fact that you aren't being "included" in various projects going on at your workplace means that you aren't "qualified" to be involved. They do not see you as adding any "value" to what they are doing. I wouldn't be so bold, if I were you, to walk up to your boss and have a conversation because he/she could easily use that opportunity to say. "Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, as it happens, we no longer have your position available effective immediately." Then, there goes your job. Do yourself and favor and go through some personal development. It will help you more than you realize.
