Highly Tricky and Dangerous Situation
What are the tell-tale signs that your boss hates you big time, not only s/he actively dislikes you, but certainly goes out of the way to harm your career progression? Come to think of it, working for a person or an organization that actively seeks opportunities to put in a spot and make you fail for sure lands you in a highly tricky and dangerous situation.
Tell Tale Signs
Are you in a dilemma that your boss is quite actively working against your best interests, here are some of the obvious signs and signals that you got to watch as far as the machinations of your boss is concerned.
The Blame Game
They don’t think twice before sabotaging your career, by putting the blame squarely on your team, if you happen to lead one or on you directly if you happen to be the only one responsible for a project or an assignment, should their superiors pull them up for a lousy job. This effectively demonstrates their inability to accept responsibility and then play the blame game instead, with you coming in the line of fire.
Professional Effectiveness
They never think twice before stealing your ideas and never let go any opportunity of belittling you at the first possible opportunity. They deliberately refrain from giving you the feedback. Rather hold it for as long as possible to halt your personal and professional effectiveness.
Final Thoughts
They do not let go any opportunity to reprimand and criticize you in public. They love to micromanage only you and no one else. Despite being well aware of your worth they entrust you only with mundane and prosaic tasks, take it as a red flag, the boss is viewing you as a potential rival switch over at the first possible opportunity.
