Thank you Yaowen! I’m lucky in that my job tends to be busy, so there’s not a lot of downtime to chit chat. It’s easy to get busy doing something else & expend the nervous energy this situation creates on something productive. I can say to myself “Just do your job.” & that helps me to not get wrapped up in the drama. I’m trying not to demonize my trainer either. The truth is, having written expectations for each person’s role would go a long way in clearing the confusion, & she has asked for that. The trouble is, things change all the time & there are a lot of moving parts that demand flexibility. It’s stressful & people aren’t always respectful. It’s kind of a snowball effect.
