Hi everybody, just looking to hear about similar experiences to see if I'm overreacting or is this just the nature of an admin job.
I've started this role roughly 6 months ago and I took over for someone in the office who transitioned into a different role. This is my first job in a office setting after working in customer service for the past 7 years so I am still navigating office politics which is why I'm unsure if I'm genuinely being micromanaged or just in my feelings lol
The person I took over for has difficulty letting me actually do my admin duties, or if I do she goes back and does them again 'her' way. Some examples includes printing out flyers/notices when I've already posted some, sorting food donations when I'm about to do them, and saying she doesnt need help when I go to help her, repeating instructions that were give to me by another coworker already, constantly reminding me of tasks when I've already done them etc.
I find this to be somewhat annoying, especially since it seems to be coming from a place of assuming that I don't know what I'm doing, and I know the tasks are being done correctly because my supervisor has let me know. Is this considered being micromanaged and if so how should I address it? I've tried kindly to let her know she doesn't need to do these tasks but she still insists. Do other admins face this at their roles? Thank you!
