Hate my Job!
Options

Posts: 34 Forumite

Was off work for few weeks and just come back and done a week. I dont like the person I support. They nice but direct and I feel like I'm always doing something wrong and I am constantly busy and get work piled on and then they expect me to manage. I am good at my job but I have started to hate it. Do you think I should speak to the director and see if they can switch things up? Only thing is I'm looking internally but haven't found anything and I am now getting frustrated to the point I feel like quitting. I know they are looking at the team structure so should I mention this to the Director? How do I put this without looking like I'm incompetent. Any advice appreciated?

Clarify the person you support and your job role. Are they higher than you in the management structure? Where does the director fit into this?What were you off work for for a few weeks?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Yes they are. Director heads up the team who has authority to make changes. The person I support reports into the D. But its the person I support thats I no longer want to work for.0

I have no idea what 'switch things up' means. If you expect to speak to your boss's boss and for everything then to be great, I think you are in for a massive disappointment. You need to speak to your boss and explain what the problem areas are. Just because you don't want to work for them, doesn't automatically mean that you don't have to.

Do you have supervisions/appraisals and who is responsible for these? How is your performance being assessed in these?
Did you not have a return-to-work interview following being off sick where your workload concerns could be raised?
There's a bit of discrepancy between you saying you are good at your job but the person you report to appearing to have some concerns if they make you feel as if you are doing it wrong. Have you spoken to them about the workload -has it changed at all, is it still in line with your job description?
I think you need to distinguish between the person you are working for and the demands of the role. Because if it's the demands of the job that are hard then that is going to be the same whoever you are supporting.
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Look outside the company for a better job.
