i recently started a new job, and i’m still adjusting, trying to learn everything and do things right. but i’ve been noticing something about my boss that’s been bothering me more and more.
they’re not openly aggressive or yelling, but the way they communicate feels off. replies are often really short, sometimes borderline dismissive, and when i ask questions, i get answers that feel a bit condescending or like i should already know.
there have been moments where i genuinely just needed clarification, and instead of feeling guided, i end up feeling small or like i’m being a burden.
it’s making me second guess myself a lot. even when i think i’m doing okay, i start wondering if i’m actually messing things up because of how they respond.
i also feel stuck because i’m new, so i don’t want to come across as sensitive or difficult. but at the same time, it’s starting to affect my confidence and how i feel going into work each day.
i don’t know if this is just something i need to get used to in a professional setting, or if it’s actually not okay and i should address it somehow.
