I have had the same problem in the past well it was kind of a mutual thing.  Things are different now  because we have history.  The best advice I can give you is to use the time you have at your job to do it well and exceed your boss's standards.  After some time, they will see that you are a great asset.

Aww don't worry about it .  Just remember your boss didn't become a boss by sitting in one branch stagnating. Even if she is annoyed, it will simply be because you are a good worker, she will still understand you have to move on for your own career. Ignore the idiot above. ;)  Good luck!

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

CONGRATULATIONS LOU!!\n\nAfter 2 years of working with the company: if your employer did not think you were worthy and 'Deserving' of the promotion, then you would not have been given it: especially without asking for it!!  \n\nTherefore, rejoice in the fact your boss/boss's think so highly of you they wished to promote you, and no doubt give you extra responsibility, & a Higher Salary!!  \n\nNow you have to show your employer & your colleagues, that you are deserving of the position you have been given: & ESPECIALLY if in a position of authority or responsibility!!\n\nAre the people talking behind your back: or is this just a paranoid feeling you have?  You must have ‘Friends’ amongst your colleagues: try talking to them, and see what’s being said!!  If necessary, pull the ‘catty’ colleagues to one side and point out to them that you did not ask for the promotion, and that if they have a problem with it, to take it up with the boss: as you are sure he will be interested in what they have to say!!\n\nJealousy amongst colleagues in the workplace is rife in any company, for a multitude of reasons: Promotions: office politics: who Fancy's who, etc... \n\nYou must rise above it, and ignore their catty comments and childish actions!!  In NO WAY: must you give in to them, and return to your lower post: not unless the job is too much for you!!  You have worked hard no doubt to get where you are today:  you have worked for it: you have earned it: you deserve it: let no bugger deprive you of it!!\n\nStand tall & be Proud!!\n\nGood luck & God Bless!!

You should tell your boss how you feel, and tell him/her what the lady does. If it really upsets and interfeers with your job, let your boss know. the worst he can do is not do anything.

Do something which your boss does not anticipate which really helps him come out of a tight situation.\n\nLots of fruitful work is an opportunity, do it, you will learn.\n\nA companion as a boss is good as you know him. ( You remember, a known devil...... )\n\nThink after all he is a guy like you not God. Enjoy.

You should try to meet with him to see what he has to say or offer maybe he wants you back and wants to apologize for what happened. About deciding to go back it is entirely up to you. Ask yourself: Did you like your job? Was it really something you really wanted to do? or was it just a "temp" job? Then take a decision. If your boss says he wants you back try to fight a little maybe you can get a better deal and something you really really want.

Tell your new boss you have to finish out your time because it's the right thing to do.  They should admire you for that.\n\nIf not then tell your old boss that you're going to lose the other job and that you are sorry to let the down.\n\nJust be honest.  Don't look for excuses or sneaky ways to get out of it.

The first thing is DO NOT go in and try to act like you are better than the others, (Not saying that you would) You never know how these people are going to react to you, as you were hired outside of the company.  Make an effort to personally go up to each person and introduce yourself and try to make them feel comfortable with you.  \n\nI have been in management, and one fatal mistake is trying to be "friends" with the employees.  Of course you want to be friendly, but not to friendly as to where they will consider you more a friend then a boss. I would also ask the others to give you feed back as to how you are doing.  Make sure that the others know that they can approach you and talk to you.  Best of luck in your new job!!

I try to let them boss know I appreciate the guidance. If you're training, take notes and let her know you understand her point of veiw. Also, try not to take things personally if you're new. No one likes to be told they're doing something wrong, but try to be objective and not feel demoralized. You're not in grade school and you aren't going to get a sticker by your name if you do something right. You're expected to get things right and you have to motivate yourself.\n\nIf your job really sucks, look for another one. Just remember, there are none out there that don't come with problems. Also, get yourself in school if you aren't already, so you can do more than just scrape by in the future. The stress isn't half as bad if you know you'll be moving on to bigger and better things eventully.

Your boss is simply feeling this because, he may have misunderstood your activities. \n\nSimply try speaking to him. Always, try to keep things calm and clean. Documents, keys, identification cards/devices, computers and much more are subjected to your bosses examination. If you've mishandled anything please inform that to your boss, and apologize to it. And affirm that you would not let anything similar to this nature happen in future. \n\nSince he feel insecure, try requesting for certain guidelines. These guidelines may be part of his personal principals, experiences and much more. This is a great way to learn!\n\nBosses are always known to be bosses. Try to keep things in control. Never ever depend on any other, for your work. You should do your own work! This will create a greater explanation for the prevailing situation, and your boss's perception would be edited during the course of time.\n\nIf all these are not working already, then its simply personal with him. He is not liking you as an employee, under his operative vision. You haven't claimed at what level he is a boss to you. Is he is a director/or simply some sort of a head for a department. If he is a head for a department simply try to get a transfer. This will help you with your mentality and indeed working excellence. You'll need not worry about anything! \n\nHope these helped.\nGood Luck. Take time and observe and decide!

It's time for you to go over your immediate bosses head to upper management.  Before you do, I would document and entire weeks worth of instances along with date, place and time the harassment takes place.  I really feel for you and I hope your situation improves soon - God bless!

First of all, I appreciate you to think about this and ask a question openly here. That shows you have recognized a problem and willing to do something about it. That is a big step. This is a tough question and I will do my best to answer briefly.\n\nYou are going to do few things to understand yourself. Here are my suggestions. 1) Think calmly and deeply (while driving, while taking a bath or whatever brings you that concentration) on what where the times you were happy doing your job. You have to go back in time in your current job, in your previous jobs, and even in other activities that you may be involved in. Start jotting down notes. 2) Start analyzing those events and you will find a common pattern such as "I am very happy when I interact with customers a lot at work" or "I am very happy researching and analyzing a problem all by myself and coming up with ideas". 3)Think about what makes you upset or bored in your current situation - Is it because your boss does not respect your inputs? Too much office politics? Personal problems? 4) You just do not like your job -- may be your job demands a lot of interaction with customers but you do not enjoy that. 5) You think you are not compensated well? - may be a lost promotion or you feel that your friends who do similar work get paid much more? It could be even as simple as you do not enjoy flexibility in office timings whereas your personal demands need it. \n\nOnce you have given thought to these things, you will feel confident. Ask your boss for some time to talk in depth. Prepare yourself well for the meeting so that you are to the point and explain what gets you excited and what keeps you motivated. Good luck.

A smile and a touch of humor can go a long way to improve communication and understanding, especially if you have a good rapport with your boss.  Start by just trying to establish more friendly and open communications in general.  Then after things feel comfortable, you might gently ask the question, "I was just wondering if you are happy with my work, or if there are ways I can improve how I prioritize my time here?"  It could be that the well-intentioned little things you do are things she does not consider necessary, so the path to gratitude might be to focus that time and energy on something that is important to HER.\n\nIt sounds like you are a well-meaning person with a good work ethic, so you have a good chance to reach a better level of understanding with your boss.  She just needs to know that you are on her side and sincerely want to spend your time helping her succeed, so she doesn't feel threatened or challenged.

Rise above it. If she deliberately embarasses you, then she is the problem. Do your work well and professionally. Talk with her and inform her that you would prefer to be told about your mistakes in private so that you could remedy them. Always be professional and job oriented. Bosses hate office politics....Document all incidents that are caused by her, if it continues over a period of time approach the person over both of you. If you are doing your work well, it will show.  If she is the boss, get out now while you still have some self esteem.  Good luck.  Be proactive, not reactive.

Unless it is extremely over the top or all the time let it go.  You are at work and you need to leave your feelings at home.  People do things intentionally all the time that step on other peoples toes.  You just have to let it slide.  Save your feelings for your personal life.  Maybe your boss was just having a bad day or you pushed one of his buttons(we all have them).  If that is the case you could just make the situation worse, and if your boss is a jerk he really won't give a flying flip that your feelings were hurt.  Remember he, or maybe she, is the boss and you will be the one to lose a conflict and are more replaceable than someone higher up on the food chain.\nOh and if you boss is a jerk start looking for another job.
