Dealing With The Workplace Know-It-All (And Managers Who Think You Are One)
Here’s a pair of columns from WaPo workplace advice columnist Karla Miller. The first features a letter from a woman who thinks her manager is out to get her (and other ambitious women), and the second comes from a manager whose young, ambitious female report is a nightmare.
The young letter-writer in the first instance says that her manager is “running off” other women based on “minutae” and “has now set her sights on me.”
Not a great situation to be in, but the interesting thing is, the LW didn’t mention having attempted to talk to her boss about the way she was feeling attacked.
In the second letter, a relatively new manager finds herself being second-guessed by a young, ambitious woman.
