A guys, I tried my best. Working for two weeks on extremely short notice to put together a plan for a data conference for a new boss, the 2-day conference is done and over. The planning started with me having full control down to the next planning meeting being a micro management of items agreed upon to that point down to the new boss doesn't want this or that - and a brown-noser so far up the new boss's butt disagreeing in unison with the new boss. Speaking up for myself, questioned why the people in charge of the data were not in charge of the conference meeting instead of me. One on medical leave, the other on vacation and the other couldn't be bothered. Put together everything from presentations, to theme and theme thread throughout each topic, location, teasers, etc. Couldn't get the brown-noser, the new boss or the admin to assist. My immediate boss spoke often of the disparity to me, but that was it. So when I was asked to turn over the evaluations to the new boss, I figured something was up. One part of me says don't give it another thought. Just lump it. The other part says "getting dumped on again."
Though I couldn't get a mouse to support me, I've done my best and supported "me" and followed through on everything required for the conference, which led me to believe it was a set up to have written follow up/fodder. I kept thinking "I'm a good person. There is nothing wrong with me. There's a reason for me regardless of the behavior and remarks." I even dismissed, until I got angry, that fact that everytime I facilitated and kept attendees on time, the new boss decided to ask more questions, boosted the others to ask more questions, had a person to present that was not supposed to present, ran over on the time, instead of taking me aside, dismissed attempts to keep them on track and generally did everything possible to prevent success. Once angry, I just walked away. No one helped with packing up, clearing up, etc. This is where I think I've lost it. There is something that I don't see. What is it about me that keeps me getting this kind of treatment.
