I don't want to recommend it to you, but if I were in your shoes, I'd very carefully include some higher-up into the suspicion I was being targeted. No accusations, I'd just lay out the facts and that those make me feel uncomfortable. Maybe I'd phrase it as a request for advice on what to do. | |

| Oct 22, 2019 at 0:09 | comment | added | Space_Wiz | @jcmack I did and even showed her notes from one our staff meetings that was posted on the company intranet. She claimed she misspoke, and that the policy only applies to 7 minutes BEFORE. | |

You can continue to work against your manager, which will make your life pretty miserable for the time being. Or make a case why you were the one that really made an impact on A/R. You're really new as a full-timer too. I definitely recommend playing nice with your manager right now. Take some time and talk about the 7 minute grace period given to all employees. | |

| Oct 21, 2019 at 23:56 | comment | added | Space_Wiz | @jcmack About 10 others and if you look at the a/r reports, they are all doing the bare minimum for YEARS. Only two people have been their for 1-2 years. The rest more than 10 and MOST are retirement age. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 23:52 | comment | added | Space_Wiz | You did say she could by working against me which makes me think I should quit.I honestly didn't intend for this to be a rant. It's just too many details to include that may get me the answer I know too be morally correct. Less details in my mind would give me more accurate advice regardless of how it 'sounds'. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 23:52 | comment | added | jcmack | A main part of a manager's job is motivate their people to do work. A manager could be amazing at motivating people or just have incredibly self-motivated employees. From your description, it sounds like the latter. Some thing that would help your case. How many other people are in your function? Are you performing better than they are? | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 23:49 | comment | added | Space_Wiz | I took this job for because my savings was running low. I have more skills but wanted something with structure and a pay check to survive. I freelance on my off time and on the weekends and even started doing doordash on my bike to help strengthen my bad leg. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 23:45 | comment | added | thursdaysgeek | Generally, if you ask what to do, or are just ranting, the question will be closed. However, if you change the question and ask for ways to turn this around and be successful in this job, in spite of a manager that could be working against you, someone might come up with some decent ideas. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 23:38 | comment | added | Space_Wiz | They already went through three temps and two potential full times within months before I joined. One full timer quit the first day. I got this info from other employees during breaks, looking out for me on what to expect from management. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 23:28 | comment | added | thursdaysgeek | And you're sure that the backlog is going down because of your specific work, and not just because they have an additional body working on it? | |
