So, I met with my boss's boss yesterday. He heard me out and gave me time to lay out the issues I have with my boss. He wanted to look for solutions, naturally, and we did agree that video calls vs texting could help my communications with my boss.

He also wanted to hear me say that some feedback given by my boss has been constructive and valid, which I confirmed and consented on.

I did tell him that my boss had dropped me from her Instagram, which I said I interpret as an overt act of hostility, which alienates me further on the team. I also told him about the public berating in front of other team members.

He didn't seem to validate my concerns in the end, but then again, we were on a call for an hour and ended up talking about how the company operates for a full half hour. The conversation kind of morphed into something else.

He did validate my frustrations within the company and my role at this juncture in my tenure. He seemed to empathize with me on that front. He also gave me some tips on how to navigate through the company. It's a highly complex and highly matrixed organization.

I mentioned a change in the reporting structure as a possible solution. I only brought this up because my boss had brought the question up to me. The way she posed it to me was "I wonder if you would be better served reporting under a different group".

He said he doesn't want her to be unhappy and he doesn't want me to be unhappy. Maybe a change in reporting will be the solution... I am hoping so.

I don't know how much value there was to this call... I am left feeling uncertain and unclear. I don't know how to feel.

I wish they would just get rid of my boss.
