Today was an interesting day at work. We had some DEI training/discussion that I really did enjoy. Then I got done several things on my to do list before a meeting. But I did not do one of those things in the manner that my boss' boss wanted.
That resulted in a terse e-mail to me with my boss copied on it. To be fair I didn't understand what he was asking for. At times he can be as clear as mud. Apparently the email upset my boss. It also upset the plant manager. After my boss and I talked, the plant manager sought me out to make sure I was okay. I was. I am not going to let little things upset me.
I talked with the guy and I have a better understanding of what he wants and why. I have a plan in place to placate his wants.
But honestly after all the nit picking the past 2 days, I am more than willing to talk to the next recruiter that calls. I do know how to do my job and having to defend my actions is not a way to get me to trust you. Nor is it a way to make me want to stay.
I am choosing to look at this whole thing as him trying to develop me. If I don't, I wouldn't be able to continue in that environment. He is a good guy and I don't think he always sees the whole picture. I don't believe he was trying to come down on me he just wants more from me and for me.
Still, any recruiters out there, I'm listening.
