Just remember at the end of day it’s always mental health >>> everything else. Salary/title don’t mean anything if you don’t really like where you are at. I know many of the big 4 leaders (many not all) likes to dangle around the idea of promotion or firm recognization to employees under them to keep them grinding 24/7. Don’t let yourself fall for those traps, see the signs and abort as soon as possible so you don’t end up wasting years under them. All that being said, I would still have give a little benefit of the doubt to your leader. Maybe he criticizes so much because he knows what the client likes and he just doesn’t want the work to come back around, or maybe he is being pushed from higher level. These are just few factors to keep in mind before throwing in the flag. And I wouldn’t consider that as a “being defeated” you are literally just looking after yourself.
It’s really just his innate personality. He has many good leadership characteristics, but the negative outweighs the positive in a detrimental way. I’m not the only one to observe this but others who work with him have a thicker skin and can just let it roll off their shoulders.
It’s always ok to choose yourself
That happened to me in April. Being micro managed caused so much anxiety (especially bad during pandemic) that I finally had to put my mental health ahead of everything else. It was hard to do and the timing on the account couldn't have been worse. HR stepped in and managed the whole process. Your health has to be a priority.
Good for you!
He provokes so much anxiety that I feel a sense of doom or like darts are being shot at me whenever I get an email/message from him. I’m always waiting for criticism or a question on why I wasn’t able to do something adequately to meet his expectations.
I would have done everything I could to switch a long time ago.
Learning when you need to either quit or stop and change direction requires true character. Most people just sit there and take the abuse, if you want to grow you need to pivot asap.
Sometimes I feel like I should just take the bullets because other people have (and do), so it would be a sign of weakness to not grow from it and learn how to deal with it. How do you get over this type of feeling?
