Is there some weird corporate checklist people get when they are promoted? my lead has started acting like a lunatic since his official promotion.

submitted by anon to askanon 2.3 yearsFeb 6, 2023 14:31:26 ago (+4/-0)     (askanon)

This morning he called me to try and pick at work I've been doing and was just reversing terms in his sentences, and the sentence only made sense to say in the reverse order and even if said in the reverse order it was pointless to even say because of how obvious the procedures were.

Then he was low-key accusing me of delaying work by scheduling follow ups past our SLA times, even though my notes were visible on screen showing me explicitly saying "follow up every other day". And he could also have determined I couldn't have even done what he said due to the duration of the life of the ticket being too short and the email conversation that was logged, and pretty much any other information he looked at whatsoever.

Wtf was he even doing? He's a bright guy and quick at problem solving (though he goes off track occasionally, he does correct) and he hasn't done anything like this until now. Just after his promotion. And officially getting the new job title.

He then called later to have me check some log, that I have never checked once before and implied that I didn't know where to look at all, so I opened up a random log directory before he could finish the thought and he was satisfied. He has to know that I don't where to look, and he hadn't even given me a chance to open anything. This was a brand new type of case for me to be working on, and he definitely knows that. Yet... No compliment for having known where to go before he could even finish his degrading statements. Again, first time he's ever done this.

Where is this going? Is there something I can do to get ahead of this? Whatever he's trying to do

When you don't know what you're doing it's easier to pick on the work of others to make it look like you're doing something. Fucker likely isn't carrying his weight.

Nobody believes this but it is true.
You have handlers assigned to you as you rise in power and influence. You are on lists since the day you were born and you are shut out of certain places by that list.

Human resources companies are a front for maintaining handlers and blacklists. Many men think their wives love them, but they are paid to manage this dumb sap because of his influence level.

It's quite common for a mental breakdown to be initiated in order to better program the subject...look at Jordan Peterson... Classic example of this method.
He went bonkers,got disappeared for several months and cam back a full on jew shill.


Your boss has been told to get rid of you. He is now on a fishing expedition recording your calls looking for something that can be used to axe you.

Record all calls and emails from here forward. Document all your shit from the past..you will have no access to this stuff the day they axe you so it will be too late then. Store your data off-site don't get caught collecting it.

This is something that people could always say is happening whether is it or not. There needs to be some hard evidence for me to care. And if they are doing that then there is nothing I can do, so there is still no reason to care.

The behavior you described him exhibiting is called fishing. Looking for foulups and mistakes making false accusations to shake something from the tree they can use.

Now.. let's pretend your viewpoint is valid and massive layoffs are not imminent (they are) but if we were pretending you are right... Then he is just trying to distance you as coworker so you don't think he is your buddy... He's not your buddy anymore. He's your boss. It could very well just be that.

Let me know when you are laid off so I can say I told you so.

Peterstein was never sane. Just take a look at his daughter and that beef tallow diet they were on. Batshit from the start.

That pussy put himself in a medically induced coma so he wouldn't have to experience withdrawal symptoms. Absolutely pathetic.

You cannot truthfully say to Jordan Peterson You will never be a woman.

He's an old crabby Jewish woman.

He possibly got promoted beyond his skill, and now is lost. Doesn't know what to actually do and does anything, looking like a fool in the process.

I'm fairly certain he knows what he's doing though. He has repeatedly solved issues quickly.

Start documenting if you haven't already.
You will need to be able to prove to a judge that you weren't let go, demoted, or suffered some other setback because of claims of job performance or competence.

I'd add that the behavior you're noticing is probably due in no small part to being included in daily corporate meetings, and he's picking up on the fact, consicously or not, he'll need to be on board with the corporate woke agenda if he wants to keep his job or advance (he won't, he's right where they need him to be: shitting on White male subordinates.)

Or he could just be having personal issues that the promotion is exacerbating.
I'm not sure how to approach those in a professional setting.

There's a term in the restaurant industry that refers to this kind of situation. It's bartenderitis. You see, when someone first becomes a bartender, their ego inflates dramatically. To be a good bartender you have to have a healthy, but managed, ego. That can be a hard landscape to navigate at first, but most people settle in. I'm sure there's an equivalent in the industry you work in. It's probably just that. Sounds to me like he's not yet competent at what he's doing. Maybe he's even got imposter syndrome that is causing him to overcompensate. There's also a chance that he's just looking to get rid of you, but that's a slim chance in my opinion. Never attribute to malice that which could be just as easily explained as ignorance.

Q: "Is there something I can do to get ahead of this?"

A: Stop being employee-tier.

They get a lot of pressure to act like slaver with a whip,this makes some go crazy. Others get mad with power and sometimes they are just incompetent.

My I have a passive agressive faggot that always smiles at you but will backstab you and ia not to be trusted.

Our boss did give me some big compliments recently in front of the whole team. Not sure what else was said.

Call centers work on a rotating employee stock.

Your time is up, they wanna make you feel like quitting.

You can do everything they ask and it won't matter.

Next month expect the write ups to begin.

This is call center culture(Any form of Ticket Handling). You should already have another job in the lineup.
