Hello everyone. I'm praying for a miracle that the situation with my job will improve, that I can get a new and better boss soon. For many months now, I've been through situations that have made me fearful to be at work. My boss of two years has shown himself to be a micromanager and a toxic person. Allow me to explain why this is so.
He requires me to copy him on all of my outgoing emails (even on things that don't require his attention), and at one point forbade me to type in my own name in the email account that clearly was assigned to me at the beginning of my employment. His reasoning for forbidding me to use my name in my emails is because "people don't know who you are" even though I identify myself in the first sentence of my emails when I'm writing to strangers. At times my boss will task me with writing emails on his behalf and I put in "From the desk of <insert name of boss>" or "On behalf of <insert name of boss>" either in the subject line or in the body of the email, but then he asks me why those emails are coming from me, which is an odd question since he did ask me to send out the emails for him, and I don't send out anything on his behalf unless to tells me to. Plus, he never delegated access to me for his email account, and he knows this, so any emails I send out have to come from me, but on his behalf.
Whenever someone comes to the office, he demands to know who was here and what they want, even if they weren't coming to see him specifically, or if the visitors had questions and I could answer them, he still wants to know who was here. Sometimes when he hears me talking to someone he'll come out of his office to see who I'm talking to. The same thing goes for incoming telephone calls. He wants to know who called and what their purpose for calling was.
A coworker of mine was out from work for a couple of days, leaving me to look after the office in her place. There was an email sent to me, stating that our department's request to order an item had been approved. My boss had known beforehand that we were going to purchase this item and had provided approval. We just needed the approval from the other department, which we just did, before moving forward. My boss became irritated that I was planning to move forward with the order even though, as I stated previously, he had already known about this. His reasoning for stopping me from ordering the item was "Just because I approved it before doesn't mean I'll approve it now. You should tell me first before putting any orders in. You shouldn't even be doing anything that involves the budget/financing anyways. That's <insert name of coworker>'s job." He brought up my coworker, who was away on vacation, leaving me the only one in the front office to look after things in her absence, who will now have more work piled on top of existing work, all because my boss prevented me from helping out. By the way, I'm not a complete novice when it comes to purchasing items for the department.
Prior to my coworker going on vacation, the copy machine broke down. She submitted a request to our technology department to have it fixed. She didn't leave me any information about this request. During her time away, the boss gets irritated that the copy machine is still broken and asks me "Did you know that the copier isn't working?" I replied that I did, and that <insert name of coworker> had contacted the technology department to ask a technician to come over to have a look at it. Then he asked me "Did you follow up on that?" I was slightly baffled, and I explained to my boss that I didn't have the means to look up what <insert name of coworker> and had put in for the request. At that he stormed off to his office, clearly in a bad mood and thinking that I was incompetent. I quickly reacted by telling him that I will contact the technology department for an update, just anything that will help calm him down. Unfortunately, the technology department couldn't provide a timeline for a diagnosis or estimated time of repair for the copier.
There's so much more I have to write about, but I think this gives a good picture of what my boss is like behind closed doors (i.e. within the department). He's all happy and jolly and willing to lend a helping hand to people in other departments, so it shocks me that a person who seemingly wants to do good for his colleagues and for the wider community can be such an abhorrent and toxic person.
I'm afraid of my boss. I'm afraid to provide the same level of assistance as I've done in the past because he might get irritated and tell me it's not my job to be doing them. I'm afraid he's trying to make my job obsolete. I'm afraid of losing my job. This might not be the place for it, but whatever your beliefs are, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for reading this.
