Dealing with a negative work situation?
We have recently got a new supervisor at work and it has brought my Anxiety and Depression back and I don't know how to cope. I really need to do something but what? I have just wasted another weekend worrying over what will be next. The guy constantly nit picks every single little thing I do, He finds fault where there are no faults, and because of this nit picking I end up making mistakes or doing things wrong and so the cycle continues. I hate getting up in the morning to go in, infact I fight with myself whether or no to go in, and once of at weekends they are ruined with the thought of having to go back on Monday and the dread of what will be next. I really can't stand the guy. He is on a powertrip to impress the manager, and show how he can run the department, the reality is he couldn't run a bath. All he is succesfully doing is annoying everyone. The unfortunate thing is, This guy is related to the owner, so he won't be going anywhere What do I do? I just feel so powerless. With his constant nit picking and arsing around I have lost any interest in my work. It doesn't really seem to be effectiving anyone else, but is really effecting my anxiety and depression. What can I do?
Hey I am sorry to hear you are going through that. Well I gererally tend to think people on a powertrip like that are usually more insecure than anyone in the office. I am not sure what to tell you as far as advice but during this economy it is hard to say to leave and go somewhere else unless it is a definate opportunity. Good Luck
