I work in a sales office where quotas and performance are paramount. During my 5 years at this company, I've always exceeded my targets. So I have this manager now who is always trying to find a new way to bust my chops, just because she has to or else it will look like she's not busy. Anyway, it's getting to the point now where I consider it a personal insult. I went above her today and talked to our branch manager and told her my concerns. The response was: "this is a tough job, but I know you can do it!!"
Honestly, this boss of mine gets in my way more than she helps and it's irritating that I have to yield to her all the time. If it were every once in a while, I would be OK with it, but it's an hourly game with her and I'm already being asked to do more than I can reasonably do.
How do some of you cope with this? I don't want to leave the company, because it's a Fortune 500 company and I am young with the opportunity to grow within this company. Any suggestions? Thanks!
