New supervisor

Post Reply New Topic

Today at work I found out I have a new supervisor. Instead of Stephanie, Angela

I like Stephanie a lot more than Angela because Stephanie has never been out of control around me.

But whatever. "Life" goes on and on and on

for a couple years before home depot hired me in 2020, i was applying to a lot of jobs. some in person interviews, some phone interviews, zero other offers.

if/when i get made redundant or quit my job, no other company will hire me.

some people are just more receptive to autistics than others, even if they do not "understand" autism per se. their personalities are just more versatile. some of that might be beyond their control. on the other hand, it is not possible to objectively measure "understanding", and I have not yet had that much interaction with the new supervisor. (not a representative sample)

For me, it's other way around. My previous bosses were only interested in money, didn't care about my health, weren't interested in my skills and things I want to learn, refused to talk to me. The task they gave me are way to simple. They didn't want to talk with me about my deficiencies.

Since March this year, I have a new boss. This boss also replaced two previous bosses, and their teams were merged (administrative and facility teams). He wants to talk about my skills, my ambitions, and a few weeks ago, he wanted me to take minutes of a few meetings. After the first two meetings, he said he was happy with the minutes and he wanted me to take minutes of the third. More meetings are to follow.

A few days ago he and a boss from another team opened their agendas to me. Perhaps they want me to teach complex agenda management, although I already know parts of the Outlook agenda system. For example, if he (or a higher boss) wants to make an appointment, he sends a request to me, which I can accept or reject (usually there is no reason to reject, so I accept).
