I recently started my new marketing role and my manager is quite hot and cold to me.
For context and not that it should matter, but from a performance perspective I’ve been doing really well and gravitate toward the two other creatives but they are older than me so we don’t spend a lot of time together.
I arrived to work this morning in an outfit that I often wear due to it being a sophisticated and corporate appropriate matching set. I usually wear it once a week because it’s easy to look put together.
When I arrived to my desk at 9:00am, in front of our marketing team she said out loud:
“I woke up this morning and had a feeling that you would wear this one again today”
I don’t even remember what I said in the moment but upon reflection I’m pretty bummed that she made such a comment like that when I am nothing but nice and uplifting to everyone around me.
I’ve never experienced this type of manager before, but I constantly feel uncomfortable in her presence.
I’m wanting to throw in the towel because of how anxious I am at work anytime I am around her.
