I seem to be having a huge problem at work. My boss, I am second in command, scares me. Obviously she is triggering something in me and I end up working hours and hours just to try to avoid getting into trouble. Other staff have told me that they are afraid of her telling them off. I actually was brave enough to broach this with her last week, but then kind of backed down as I felt such a *****. I have talked to my t but although I know how to do stuff rationally when I am at work the irrational bit takes over and I can't look after myself very well. I have been into work for 8 hours today despite not working weekends and have worked my socks off but have nothing to show for it. When I try and talk to her she says I need to be more organised and delegate, and I believe her, but when I'm being rational I know this isn't the case. I am fairly organised but am doing my work and a lot of hers. I feel like I'm running the place, but my hands are tied as I am not the boss! (Nor do I want to be).
I think I want to know if anyone else has these kinds of problems and how can I stop her triggering me so much.
