I had a meeting yesterday with my supervisor that left my head reeling. I could use some other folks feedback.
The meeting was to review a bunch of referrals I have to see if they could be reassigned to another counselor. While we were going over the referrals she mentioned she was transfering active, open cases from the new guy (who has very few cases) to another counselor (who has a full caseload). In a surprised voice I asked why. She blasted me. In a loud, stern voice said "I am the supervisor! Do not question my decisions!"
This is not the first time she's said "because I am the supervisor" when I asked a question. I've played the scene over and over in my head. I did not use a challenging tone of voice. I asked what I thought was an innocent question.
I was really upset by what happened. I kept questioning if I was over reacting. Later in the day I realized what happened was just like when my father, then husband would blast me for something out of the blue.
I've been in a managment position. I never would have told an employee "because I said so."
feedback anyone?
