Hi, I started a new accounting assistant job and company is really nice. However the supervisor speaks to me with frustration and I don't say anything due to I want to keep my job. I only been with the company 1 months but I'm having second thoughts. She keeps saying that she can not do this and she don't have time for this. What should I do?

That sounds tough, especially so early in your role. If you're feeling uncomfortable, it might be worth having a private conversation with her to ask for clarity or feedback on how you can improve communication. Sounds like your manager is just super stressed out and bad at managing it on their own so they take it out on others.

She sounds stressed and overwhelmed. Don’t take it personally, and see if you can try putting yourself in her shoes… she is probably behind on her deadlines, but she can’t yet delegate to you because you are so new… you’re in a tough situation, but if you can self manage and figure out how to take more things off her plate, you will be her hero. Take good notes when you meet, maybe even record what she shows you, if you have a problem or are unsure of what to do, research it in advance and come to her with proposed solutions… all of those actions will make her feel that you value her limited time and are an asset and not a drain…

This is a situation where it’s important to take the initiative and communicate with your supervisor. Let her know how committed you are to doing well and contributing to the team’s success. Request a meeting to discuss any training gaps or areas where you might need additional support because of how the communication has made you feel. Express that having the right tools and resources will not only help you improve but also enable you to support your colleagues more effectively.

I would talk to her and ask for like a review of your work after 30 days, make sure to ask for all feedback and ask how you can improve. See what her response is. Watch for her tone and to read her.

I work for a place similar experienced and it turned into a nightmare toxic workplace.

Train harder to make the job easier for you and her. Flat out ask her what she needs and that you are willing to do it. Maybe hoard some of your time, so you can impress her, when she needs you in a pinch. By that I mean try to do the job faster than you need to and spend the saved time learning new stuff.

She sounds like she is having a hard time giving up her functions even though you are the one who is supposed to do them. I had that problem and no matter what I did I could do no right. She also kept reminding me that she did my job and her job for 6 months. Became extremely toxic and I had to leave for my own sanity.

I would contact HR. If your work environment is frictional it should be documented always. Do not quit.
