Condescending Jobs-worth boss and 'anal' backstabbing co-workers.?
OK i’ll try and keep this short.
In short i have been out of the military for a year now, where I have project managed 10 people on a few electrical projects and the like. Now have taken a job on the railways. However the past year has been a rollercoaster of experience good and bad. I started off with one department and found that to be very bitchy and clicky. I tried to fit in, but learning the job was difficult when people won’t tell you the information or where to find it. I tolerated this behavour for 6 months trying to be patient, kind etc… ‘biding my time…’.
Then i changed to another Department. after i got fed up of this behavour. All was going fine, until the my boss got promoted (same boss just he has a different title and salary). and now has spent the past 3 months being a condesending little W***r (he is in his early 30’s).
I have enjoyed my time here until 3 months ago. The problem is the boss i have is always chasing for his full promotion (he’s assistant manager, looking for full manager, now the vacancy is empty). He watches his back so carefully, always wanting things written down etc.. He’ll ask favours but never really give them in return; when he does you have to be ‘ticked off’ in a mental ‘favours book’ in his head. If you refuse overtime etc… He officiously tells you OK, gets all lordy and then ask someone else; reminding you that don’t ask him for overtime in future (even though he has clearly stated no overtime, we only get it if he’s in a fix!)
He micro-manages the smallest thing. He’s always, always on about health and safety. He can never give a straight answer to any question regarding what might affect you. Any sense of acheivement you have from doign a job is quicky removed with a critial reveiw of : ‘why didn’t you do this’ or ‘why has it took this long’, ’so and so would have done it like this’, ‘is there a training issue’, ‘You need to be more proactive’ etc… it just seems any amount of work you do for this thankless B****rd is never enough. Also he questions everything you do, and never backs you up EVER!!! Unless its for his own face gain. I’m not the only person this is happening too though…
Then there is the 2 coworkers, his number 2’s. (I work as part of a 4 man rotating shift team, one of us on at a time). Who complain and bitch about his analness behind his back, how bad a boss he is etc… but then behind the back of the guy you have replaced shifts as soon as he is gone they slag him off. One of these Number 2’s has his eye on a management position and althought a nice guy i don’t trust him (I worked alongside him since the start of my time, until 3 months ago). He tries to ring me off shift when he drives home, for infornmation and a gossip. I have taken to turning my phone off (I luckily changed contract so have given a PAYG number as my ‘Real’ phone). As i don’t want to hear about work.
I have held out for 3 months. I am getting more snappy and irritable at home. I suffer from depression anyways. but this really isn’t helping. I’m losing all faith in my abilities! As i feel i may be actually clueless in my trade afterall… Help!!
I forgot to mention, that he lords it up over all 6 of us. and any ‘grammatiacl errors’ in speaking or writing, he’s quick to correct you in front of co-workers. making you feel liek a complete cretin! I have had this 1st hand. Also have seen him do it to others. its unreal! I thought the military were bad!
Andy W. I have a feeling deep down you might be right, but i’d like to do a job where i’m not having to learn and be made tofeel a T**t for not knowing stuff. that i’m supposed to guess at.
Think i might take the gamble an try set up on my own.
Welcome to the civilian world.
You could leave and hope to find somewhere better or you can stay and put up with it.
The likelyhood is that if you leave and find another job then the situation will be similar.
As ex military (signals) myself albeit it from a fair time ago, I can tell you that you will encounter this sort of thing on a regular basis.
You either have to put up with it or get out.

Work with the c**** I work with then moan about your working environment!

Sounds like a normal working environment.

My brother went through something similar and he’d worked at the place for 10+yrs until it ‘changed’ and he had only one person to cope with, but that’s all it takes. In the end he got another job (similar work, different employer and area) and he’s been much happier.
I would suggest if you can change jobs then do so as you’ve got too much of a fight on your hands there. If you’re ex-military you could try something completely different work wise like Military Fitness – definitely the right time of year to do it. Else try other sites like Jobcentre and Monster and get the hell out of there!

It’s quite simple, you are unable to change people’s personality, so you either have to stick with it – or start looking for another job.
