Things are getting better at my current company - booked a bunch more meetings and I'm starting to understand more about what makes people tick in my industry.
However, my boss is still giving constant negative criticism and it's bugging the shit out of me. My boss is French, so it might be a cultural thing but not sure. It's also always something pretty small for example:
- Pulled me in a slack huddle today to ask why I was disqualifying contacts in Hubspot for the reason of "wrong department" versus "out of scope"
- Told me I was being unprofessional for giving a slight chuckle at the end of a few calls
- Questioning me about performing tasks that were not blocked off in my calendar OR tasks that were supposed to be done earlier/later in the day
- Micromanagy about unenrolling people from certain sequences and enrolling them in others --> will basically challenge me if a few contacts are in the wrong place (need for perfect data)
- Comments on my calls consistently (which is great!) BUT always very negative/judgy comments like telling me I shouldn't do this or that it's unprofessional to do that
- Tells me to keep my voice down while on cold calls on the sales floor
- Got annoyed at me for sending a screenshot of a prospect's page in hubspot as opposed to a link in hubspot, then pulled me into an internal meeting discussing how I'm bad at internal communication and need to make it easier for HER to help ME
- Very little positive encouragement for sucesses/wins
All of the above to me are basically escalating minor issues that either could be left alone or way better handled IMO. I just want her to gtfo my case, let me do my job, and be a resource for me if I'm not.
I'm not perfect. I do make mistakes constantly and I have acknowledged that to her. I'd just like to be penalized for mistakes that actually are mistakes, not just minor imperfections.
How would ya'll approach this?
