Was I right?
Last week, I did a regular old part of my job. I
(1) reviewed my information (on my own)
(2) realized that something was in need of action
(3) took action
(4) once all was ready I asked my boss if I could do x,
(5) he said, yes,
(6) I executed the plan and completed what was necessary, on my own.
This week, my boss (I don't know why) proceeds to send around an e-mail to my work group -- congratulating us on completing this transaction.
Um, what "us"?
This transaction was 99.9% me. The two other people he was congratulating as "we" failed to even respond to my e-mails and had zero to do with it. I was shocked that he seemed to be spreading credit (honestly for something that wasn't even a big deal) to people that were not in anyway involved. His e-mail started with, "not sure if you noticed but this got completed last week" as if it magically happened. As if the transaction elves made it happen?
I could NOT take that. I sent an e-mail to him that was pretty nice but I had to stick up for myself. I told him that he had previously mentioned he had a hard time keeping track of things from home but from where I sat what was done was 100% done by me.
He responded that he understood that and would be telling another boss. That wasn't my point but to avoid making a larger deal out of it I just kept my mouth shut.
Obviously the tone was that I was raining on his parade.
Got to say I am on my last legs at this point... I have lost all faith in this guy. He does NOT appreciate me in anyway. I don't understand why this keeps happening. Since we have been working from home we have had a few run ins - mostly because he cannot remember who did what, and just hauls off and says something that isn't accurate. (of course, seeming to slight me).
