I have a new supervisor at work that I bloody well can't stand. I wish I was in Shovelheat's position, waving goodbye to her, instead, I'm having to wait to see if her behavior is 'just for show' since she's new here and feels the need to show us who's boss.
But mygod, I don't think I'm going to last. I've seriously started thinking up ways to get her canned, or at least, get her off of my team. The only other options is for me to see if I can get transferred to another team, but in my own territorial way: I was here first, damn it.
The thing that sucks is this: it's not the best job in the world, but having a good supervisor makes it easier to show up. Knowing that your higher-up can handle your occasional problems willingly makes all the difference. Now, it's like pulling nails to get this one to even do her job, let alone do it without showing some sign of exasperation, irritation, or superiority. Now I know just how good my former supervisors actually were. Even the worst of the lot is a shining star in comparison.
But, I was going out of my way to give her a chance. I've smiled more often, tried to talk to her regularly, and have tried to improve on specific stats challenges, all to no avail. She is still a downright, lazy, haughty ass.
So, it's either me or her, baby. And right now, if they gave me my walking papers, I wouldn't even blink, but smile in relief.
