I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like to tell me more?

Question
My supervisor left and she reported to the board. Now we report to them. They said they would just go to us and not them. Now the board is going around us (me and my coworker).

I could understand how that could make you very angry, I would be too.
assistant

Have you ever ran into something like that before?
user

I have not, it sounds like a very bad situation. Is there anyone you can report this to at the company?
assistant
Question
Not really. My coworker and I can complain but that can only go so far. I need to detach and do the work but my ego is hurt.

It sounds like you are working in a toxic work environment with poor leadership. Have you considered possibly seeking another job? Or maybe another company?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Not really. This just started happening last week. I'm still trying to get a better idea on how to deal with this.

I understand. What do you think about having a conversation with the board and let them know the issues you are having? You could have your coworker back you up.

I think that is how I am going to respond. I am also hearing this from my staff, which may be part of the problem. I am trying not to let my ego get involved but it is hard.

It sounds like you take a lot of pride in your job which is very amiable. I think confronting the board is the best way to go about this.

I am worried that I will not be received well. Should I be?
user

It's very possible, but I think you will be commended amongst your peers. You owe it to yourself not to be walked all over.
assistant
Others
That's true... I need that at least.

And who knows maybe the board will appreciate you coming to them, it shows great strength.
assistant

I hope so my last two days were pretty upsetting. Thanks for your help.

You're very welcome, was there anything else you wanted to discuss?

No, that's all.
