My boss recently retired and a co-worker of two years was given his job. A new person was hired to take the old job of the new boss. As a co-worker, the person who is now my boss was a decent person with some slight quirks that we all just laughed about because that's just who he was. Now, as boss, he is on a power trip, hiding in his office, micro-managing every situation. He has already told us that he will be deciding when we take our earned vacation days and if he doesn't want to approve days, he won't. That makes it impossible to make plans for fear we will not be allowed the days off. I think he is setting us up to lose vacation days each year. We cannot hold over any days we have not taken. I have many anxious moments when I need to request a day off occasionally. I recently took on an additional job and have been working very hard to learn the new job and continue with all my previous duties. I've worked overtime, at home, on weekends, etc. I have kept up with all my responsibilities, but it just doesn't seem like anything I do is good enough. Personally, I feel I have done a good job with all my responsibilities. The person who took the new boss's job is overbearing, loud, rude and thinks a great deal of her abilities. I, unfortunately, sit very near her and must deal with her interrupting every conversation, answering every question whether it is asked of her or not. She is an expert on EVERYTHING, she is sarcastic and rude to all our customers. I find it almost unbearable to not say something to her. She is the type who would not hear it anyway, her mouth never shuts. I plan to retire in a few years and feel I am too old to change jobs at this point in my life. I am stuck here and am not sure my mental and physical health can stand up to the verbal and emotional abuse until retirement.
