My job is a hell hole. Back in 2020 we had a very secure and confident team of people who are able to do their jobs and work peacefully amongst each other that is until the Director decided she was going to have a problem with one of the team members. This came about by miscommunication that was easily solved by an apology. At least you would think it would be. But the loss is this one team member, the Director brought in her best friends, sister-in-law, to spy on everybody . Part 2in comments

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed. However, he seems to be someone who turns around every other hour to ask ‘Is it done’? I am usually pretty good at managing expectations but having a hard time conveying how unreasonable he is being. Despite being organized, I am coming across as scattered and jumbled since I have been working 15+ hours with no food and break daily

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?
