I’ve been working as a contractor for a few months in a role I truly enjoy. My experience with my manager, however, has been mixed. While I can work with her, certain aspects of her management style have been challenging. She schedules meetings with me at the last minute, without regard for my time, and sometimes cancels planned meetings because she’s tied up on other calls. She tells me she is frequently busy, yet makes time when meeting with executives, which gives me the impression that my time is less valued. She constantly tells me how she works through the morning and night.
Additionally, I’ve noticed that she can become a stress case and doesn’t always handle feedback well. There’s also a tendency toward gossip, which I find unprofessional in a workplace setting.
I try not to get discouraged because I just tell myself that I’m still doing something that I enjoy and getting paid for it. :)
I welcome any thoughts, tips, and advice. Thanks!
