Jeez i would suggest talking to a senior manager about this as well and tell them that you don't trust this manager to give an accurate feedback... hope you have other team members who can vouch for your work.

@op I completely agree with @bcg1. you do realize your manager may be on fb? Since you're working with him for another 3 months maybe you shouldn't air the laundry out on fb. This post is trending. Wouldn't be surprised if he saw this. You're seriously making me question your judgment. Maybe that's why said manager is always in your grill. You lack common sense.

Make your managers life easier by giving him the info he needs to sleep well, and leave it alone. It's a tough position and he is most likely under a lot of pressure. Give him the benefit of the doubt and put this all behind - you're a team. Figure it out together.

Well it's 1 of 2 things. Either manager is a crazy or op did something to lose trust. I'll be honest, if there are other examples fine, but I wouldn't go to someone with just this. There could be another reason he called.

Is there any reason why they wouldn't trust you? Have you tried to "game the system" in the past? Either way, I see no upside in bringing this up. Manager seems like they would be vindictive

If no other issues in past to cause his behavior let it go if only 3 more months. Getting promoted unfort can be political. Not worth the disruption to your progress. Sexual harassment would be diff. Shake it off!

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions. This has led to issues in self-referencing title. I’ve been project manager, data engineer, developer, modeler, analysts, principle DB developer, etc. Most of my w2 work has been from offers of 1099 clients so I am usually asked to define my own title. Any T-shaped data people who run into this?
