I do reflect myself from time to time and agree with you on certain things . For first item , I was not interview by my current boss as she also join 5 months ago . But she did went through my resume and I don ' t deny that she once mistaken me as experienced staff in the field ( which I don ' t know why as I do not lie on my resume at all ) . For second item , tbh , I scare to consult her as she is always in bad mood and I always can ' t get the answer from her briefing . For third item , I ' m definitely not asking for spoke feed . In last job , I manage to solo after 3 months working when all my colleagues are not around . I don ' t even get a chance to being demo once on how their ways of doing things . Most of the time , I ' m referring to historical docs to get things done . For last time , I ' m totally agree with you that my human relations skill is weak . I just don ' t know how to fight with people and survive in a hostile environment .

This is only part I don ' t agree with your boss as it doesn ' t bring positive impact . The thing is when you try to be independent , it is good but make sure the decision and action are answerable and justified even when being questioned or challenged . You could be wrong but you could be right as well . If you are right , you earn something . But if you are wrong , you ask more about it to have better understanding and learn from it . This is how a person grow apart of expecting to get feedback . Don ' t expect so much from a boss because it is almost impossible to change someone than to change yourself . If you get bad boss , live or leave . If you get a good boss , it is a bonus . Nevertheless keep in mind boss is there to assist your life but you yourself lead what kind of life u wanna have .

Problems come in 2 prongs - both you and her . # 1 : Expectations She ' s expecting an experienced person to be in the role and not someone new to it . Even though later on she found out you ' re fresh to this , she was still unable to shake off the annoyance that she NEEDED an experienced person to be of assistance and ease the work of the department . # 2 : Management of work Although you ' re fresh for this demanding job , try to manage the basic things . Prioritize what ' s important especially if it concerns the image / impression of your division and boss . Call it politics or whatever but that ' s the way it goes sometimes , esp in big companies . Perhaps you ' ll do better if there ' s a senior or manager who can guide you with work . # 3 : Experience Lets put it straight : you ' re inexperienced for the job . It ' s like a company hired a fresh grad or non - relevant background person to make him / her do work that is technical . So this person had to find his / her way around to learn and make it work . You definitely need help because it ' s not within your capability to carry out some of these scopes of work . Instead of worrying being scolded for what you ' ve done , how about getting scolded upfront when you tell her that : - You need clarification on the work assigned - You drafted the email / framework and want her to go through first before sending out - You ' re facing a problem and you wish to discuss the solution with her - Remind her you ' re new to x task and you ' ve no experience in handling , and wish for her guidance Some people are just plainly bad tempered . And they ' re stressed . They ' re constantly in a bad mood or simply angry . You don ' t want to see them and get scolded , but trust me , it would have been unavoidable anyway if you were to hand in work that doesn ' t meet her expectations . Better to be scolded for asking , than to be scolded for doing the wrong thing . At least 1 of it doesn ' t waste time and you know what to do . Lastly , of course , is to leave if you really cannot stand your boss . You get that peace of mind in leaving all these negativity behind , and you can sleep better .

Sometimes when you need to assert yourself , just do it . As for queries from other people ( bosses , HOD , colleagues , customers etc ) , basically it boils down to 1 ) What is the issue 2 ) When can it be solved 3 ) How to solve the issue 4 ) Who is needed to solve the issue If you have firm answers to above queries , by all means just do it . Otherwise , gather more details and if possible , ask more questions back for clarification . If the above still fails , channel the queries to the ones with more knowledge and experience . Just don ' t carry all loads onto your shoulders , especially the ones not related to your scopes .

Instead of just " doing tasks " n follow blindly on instruction , take a step back how can you simplify your works by learning some tips n tricks using Ms office suite . 2 . Before you finished your work on Friday , take 25 mins to go thru n plan your works for next week 3 . Find your ' me time ' doing something that you really enjoy on weekend n free time . It will helps to balance your emotional . 4 . Learn to " steal time " , old methods or processes doesn ' t always the most efficient way . Think ways to fasten administrative works .

There ' s a flood of interviewees with little job opening . Your colleagues are right - quickly keep track of all the B & W evidence that you have , and be prepared to pull them out if she accuses you of any wrongdoing . The financial industry is small , and you wouldn ' t want to take any fall for her . This affects your own reputation , and of course , don ' t ever be anyone ' s scapegoat . If anything , i learn that this is the way it works in Corporate and any working world . Black & white . Sometimes even after a casual discussion with my boss where he made certain decisions or gave a certain instructions , I would recap all in email and send to him , cc my colleague / GM etc - depending on the nature of the matter . This is to make sure : 1 . there was no misinterpretation from the discussion 2 . a record of what was discussed - can serve as reference 3 . as evidence that x decision was made and agreed upon It ' s fine if you wish to go . Never try , never know . But just remember , the grass isn ' t always greener on the other side . You could meet a superior like her , or worse . Be mentally prepared about it .

Many bosses only know how to instruct subordinates to do the job but the bosses have no capability to make them grow to meet their expectations . If not up to expectation , bosses just grill them and this vicious cycle goes on and on ... It is normal because local bosses mentality is ' I give you work and I expect you do complete it ' . Not many bosses are those that can say , if my subordinates can do the job , I can do it better than them . Sad to say , your only way out is to seek another job or report to another person .

On the month end as well , I dropped my resignation even though I did not have any job offer on the plates as I am fxkng sick with the management . Even today , I am in medical leave , my manager still have face to ask me to complete the report which she also unable to do . Stay strong to you , and may you secure the new job soon ! * Thanks for sharing and pls take care . Have you found a new job now ? I ' m totally fine if you pass me a new task in work place I ' m familiar of . At least in my previous company , I have established good rapport with most staffs and we always help each other . But at here , I feel like I ' m being bullied especially by the heads . This dept was established almost 3 years before , but a lot of issues only arise when I join , which I don ' t know why also . For example , some staffs still don ' t know how to use a system which existed and used for last 3 years , and they seem like didn ' t have any issue before this , only when I come , they act like it ' s so alien . Because I ' m new , I can ' t guide on everything , the worst thing is my boss is super bad in IT which she always escalate all questions to me without guidance . I have to explore the system by myself . Tbh , I scare when time passed , it will influence my name in the industry . I just finished one project which they sit on it for 3 months ( reason being busy ) and only assign to me when I join . I face complaints from other dept due to this and my boss acts like I should take it at my level . In fact , I ' m just a fking AM . This is my second job and I really don ' t know is it the suitable responsibility that I should take on . I don ' t feel any job satisfaction and lossing my confidence everyday . Until now , I send every email to my boss for review before replying , which in my previous job , I can complete jobs independently in same time period given . I hope I can chow faster . I also took my first MC last week but my boss still ask me to work from home ( and I did ) .

But I do have some saving for 3 months and I do have backup plan to join online business - food delivery with my brother whilst applying new job . Few recruiters do call me but when they heard my salary they said I am expensive . Lol . But I do said I am open with salary negotiation if I found the JD is within my expertise . The job which I took over as a backup is not really diff with my existing but the process wise is a mixed of everything and I need to refer to other teams . I can understand the flow but I need time to comprehend everything witin short span . The ultimatum is when I am unable to cope to prepare 24 reports in a day - complex excel with combination of macros , formulas etc , with emails , urgents , popping out from my email . I said to myself fuck this . I work around the clock for the past whole month just to ensure everything is in order but no one bother . I took MC and just ditched . Now I have received numerous escalation from my customer , they cc their MD , my director etc , but I do not care anymore . Will just do my original task which they have offered me 2 years ago and just that . After all , I am serving the notice .

I was very competent on my previous task but when one of my colleague resign , I need to do her task with very minimal knowledge transfer . I tried to reduce escalation on daily basis by working 8 am - 10 pm everyday , weekends just to ensure both operation for my task and the other task can be completed . I do inform to my manager , I cannot do my ex colleague task alone because it is beyond my capabilities . She just said ok understand . And she dint even reply to the email of task delegation . Yet , I still do and manage to close the month end with horrible and traumatize experience . I never took MC during month end but this time , I took MC right after the closing because my brain just stuck . I just wish , I am dead . So no one will find me to finish all the numerous shitty reports of the ex colleague . On the month end as well , I dropped my resignation even though I did not have any job offer on the plates as I am fxkng sick with the management .

Stay strong to you , and may you secure the new job soon ! * Sounds horrible . How come there was no knowledge transfer or handover for you to pick up ? Isnt that what notice periods are for ?

It was 2 weeks before the person final sign off then the manager assign me to help to backup the task since the new joiner they chose is not available to board before my ex colleague sign off . Management keep on saying that the position is crucial and it is hard to find replacement . 😐 I told them that I may not cover her task all because I am also full with my plates but my manager informed that it is okay as she will find someone can backup her job as well and we have many experts in case you are stuck . Well , BS . Her words all BS . Haha . I was forcing myself yet I dont know that now it has consumes me with extreme agitated , excruciating and needs to take medication .

From the way you described , our managers are the same type of people . She also agreed to our team before that she will backup one of the tasks as we are full handed , but at last , throw to me two weeks before the submission and somemore have face say privately to me , she actually assumes me to pick up the task . I ' m like wtf ... I believe she don ' t even know how to do and that explained the above . With your team situation , I think the new staff join also will resign . Anyway , health is more important in our life .
