Dear Minaa,
I've been in my current job for more than three years now and my co-workers are some of my best, real-life friends (two of them were even bridesmaids in my wedding). I really love the work I get to do at the company-not only is it challenging in an exciting way, but I am actually motivated to go the extra mile because my work has started to feel personally rewarding.
There is just one major problem, in the form of my new (micro)manager. We have worked together for only a few months so far, but I swear she has it out for me. She is incredibly aloof, and the only time she interacts with me is when she's shooting down one of my ideas or asking me for constant and I mean constant updates on my projects.
I have tried to stay positive, but lately, I've been feeling miserable. I just cannot get past the feeling that she hates me and that she does not trust me to get my job done. I do not want to quit my job, but I can't handle the daily stress and toxic vibes I get from her. Is there anything I can do... besides leave?
