just in case I need it.

My self esteem has improved greatly since showing my boss that I’m in charge of my career moving forward.

I was controlled to the point that it was stated that by my boss that I would have help with my career goals.

I have way more education and work experience than my boss, so I took the reigns and sent a clear message that it’s my choice, my decisions.

- she hates it when other managers come in to the lunch room and asks us questions while we’re eating, so what does she do? She holds an impromptu lunch meeting because she’s all annoyed and freaking out.
- she freaks out about some work she’s doing for someone else so she gives it to me to do instead. Bonus points for not yelling at me about it though, I guess.
- she then ends up giving me her tasks and is snarky about it, bullies three of the four people in the meeting.
- I sat quiet until she called me out on being quiet which she pointed out in her crappy way. I said that I was being quiet because I was waiting to hear her tell me more information so that I could make a better decision. She is the world’s worst communicator.
- If I look at things positively, even though I’m super stressed because I’m nervous about how much work that I have to do, she has passed along work to me that another influential, powerful woman needs done. So if I look at it this way I get the last laugh because I am now working for the two most powerful, influential and successful women in my company and if I make a good to great impression then I have no where to go but up! I wonder if I win here. :)
