Question of the week; how to have a good work relationship with someone( my ACD) you don't like? I know that my job would be 10x more enjoyable if I could just get myself to like her.. but it feels impossible when all she can do is tell you your work 'can be better'. I'm not opposed to feedback, I just can't with her tone.

Why not tell her how it feels when she uses the tone? It'll be uncomfortable, but she probably doesn't hear the tone like you do.

I have this problem of not hearing my tone, but when someone tells me and repeats it back it helps give me awareness.

Talk to her boss?

The only reason I suggested it is bc she sounds unprofessional, so why not let others manage her if she cannot do her job.

i was in the same boat with my manager. leaving was the best move. easier said than done ofc.

I would talk to more senior people and to try to facilitate managing up. never worked.

some people shouldn't be managers. or you're dealing with someone that's obstinate. no shortage of either case when it comes to work.

sorry that you're dealing with this. hope you're able to improve the present situation. no shame in looking for a better fit if not.

Can you get assigned to a different team?

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
