I am a manager at our resort, and a one person department. The position is very unique and is not that established, even after having this position created for 12 years (I’ve only been in it for about 2 though). Another female colleague (Director of Finance, who I used to report to) is refusing to budge on a small task (it would be more efficient if her accounts receivable skipped the step of pulling report and sending it to me to reach out to Home Owner’s).

Ask her if she agrees there’s an inefficiency issue. Ask her for ideas on how to address this without implementing the change suggested? Put this back on her to solve and highlight this is the roadblock. At the end of the day it’s not all on you to optimize efficiency, everyone should be on board to do it. If she’s being a roadblock, put it on her to resolve it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Quite frankly, she’s a bully… When I was directly under her, she flexed on me many times and I believe that’s what she’s doing right now. I’m not sure how to handle her… I fear that she will get the best of me.

We had a meeting with our general manager and resort manager and our general manager agreed it makes sense for the accounts receivable to reach out directly to homeowners and the DOF straight up said, “I have a serious problem with that”. Our general manager is fairly new, six months, and acquiesced to her. And now we have a meeting on Tuesday to go over what it is I do so that we can see how I can get some help.

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?
