I had my year end review last week.....bascially, my boss is happy with my work and I am doing great. He then brought up two points which floored me:
1) I am too "territorial" with my job. (I am his Executive Assistant, and support him and another director. There is another Project Coordinator who is supposed to support a Director (vacant position), two Associate Directors, and a Manager. My boss gives her a few things to do and then forgets what and asks me if they are done. She has at times encroached upon my job functions and I had asked her one time if something had changed....he over heard that and brought that example into the review.)
2) He said that I am not passionate about my job like I am about my art.
WTF!!!! I reserve the word "passionate" for three things in life: my art, italian food, and sex.....not W**K!
I am not sure what he is trying to pull here.....and quite frankly, I don't like these silly corporate games. There is a lot of downsizing that is going to happen this year in the company and I don't think I should have to share my job. Another big chunk of my job was taken away from me as well.....I don't understand since he gave me a good review regarding my work.
I don't like feeling unsure like this. One thing this conversation did solidify for me was that I am in the wrong frigging field and need to get out asap! Second, I thought he was a good guy.....now I don't trust him....and if I cannot trust someone, I cannot respect them at all.
Any advice?
