I have a supervisor that is extremely passive. Anytime anyone makes a mistake she posts a vague message to our group chat to everyone addressing it. I’ve made two of these mistakes and have never heard from her directly. On top of that, the mistakes resulted from having never received proper onboarding. When I attempt to reach out to her to discuss issues, she says we’ll talk tomorrow then she’s MIA or to schedule a meeting that she just doesn’t show up for. Is there anything I can do?

Isn’t it amazing? How important on boarding is when you land a new role? And if you weren’t on boarded well, you have every right to bitch about it as the employee, you get what you train.

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

Does anyone enter a “f*ck up” spiral and how do you get out? Like when you miss a nit or even larger typo in a brief or miss an issue in a sub/cite and someone calls you out in it, and then you doubt every proof you do, get anxious about f*cking up, and inevitably f*ck up again. Trying to decide if I’m burnt out after three crazy months or if I just suck at this job and should hang it up if I can’t get it back together soon. I don’t trust myself anymore.
