Zofia,

 

(Even if you don't reply to me, i won't and have no right to blame you.)

 

You asked me “will you get into the same problem again in another company?”

 

I think in some companies i didn't have such a problem. In other companies i did have problems with my boss. Short answer to your question is “maybe”.

 

I can think of a few past jobs where I had problems with my manager. In most cases, I was not the only employee having difficulties, so problem seems to be partly in the boss. There seems to be a pattern where I often end up working under a less than reasonable manager. You can almost conclude that I was unlucky again and again looking for a suitable job, so maybe i should keep searching?

 

I can think of at least 3 managers I had no problem with

* May 1998 -> Dec 1999 (Chartered)

* Jan 2001 -> Jul 2002 (Zed)

* Jul 2003 -> Jul 2004 (Spherion)

 

These were relatively long jobs. There are other jobs where my bosses didn't complain about me

* Jan 2000 -> Aug 2000

* Aug 2000 -> Dec 2000

 

Measured by duration, in about 60% of my jobs i had no problem with my boss at all. Among the problematic jobs, at least one manager was obviously incompetent as everyone complained about him.

 

In conclusion,

* if i find one of the nicer managers, i will not get into the same problems again

* otherwise, i will do better than this time, as i keep learning on workplace relationships

 

I'm a positive, adaptable person. I am open to change. I am changing for the better…
