I have been working at this company for a long time, and I believe I am doing my job well. But lately, I feel like my boss is ignoring me. They always CC someone else on important matters or pass the topic to them. It feels like I don’t exist at all, and I don’t understand what they are implying. Do you think I should speak up openly in such situations, or should I accept this silent treatment and focus on my work?
I think something’s going on here, but it’s hard to understand what it is. I mean, is he intentionally excluding you or are there other factors at play? Maybe there’s another connection between him and the person added to the group.
Such actions are a form of personalizing the work and are unacceptable in a professional environment. There is a behavior that disregards your efforts. It is necessary to express this clearly in terms of work ethics.
I think this is a very common situation. You may not realize it, but it might be more appropriate for someone else to take over that job. Instead of directly cutting you off, they could be assigning authority.
It may not be right to state your pain directly. Our elders always say, “get along with the boss, they hold the breadwinner’s hand.” Do something that makes sure they can’t overlook you.
Look at the boss’s motivation. Maybe they are leaning towards the other option because they find it more practical, or they might have other plans in mind. Don’t take this personally; it’s necessary to think professionally.
It’s so bad, man. In the morning when you’re heading to work, your mood is already a bit low, and then being ignored like this throughout the day is really exhausting. You need to ask clearly why it’s like this.
You can’t understand the reason for this without talking to the boss. During a break, ask openly, face to face, “I’ve noticed that you’re passing some topics to others; what’s the reason for that?”
I’ve noticed that the person added to the cc is usually someone new. Maybe they’re training them, but it annoys me that they don’t let me know. Should I just ask them directly? I’m still indecisive.
Dude, there definitely has to be a connection with that person who was added to the cc, it’s just plain logic. Observe a bit more, then confront directly. But try not to create too much tension, we don’t want gossip spreading around the company.
