So I’ve been working at my job for 4 years, my manager came in two years ago. They’re okayish, kind of overbearing and micromanaging but I’ve learned to deal with it.

One thing that pisses me off though is they CONSTANTLY say that I should speak up in meetings, that “my voice should be heard people want to know my thoughts” but everyyyy time I do, they manage to

1. Cut me off and restate exactly what I said
2. Will outright tell me I’m not making sense in front of not only my team, but other teams as well.
3. When I set up a meeting, they will take over the whole meeting, say “oh my bad I’m taking over the meeting” but won’t let me get a word in edge wise.
4. Tell me I’m not understanding what I’m stating when I understand it very well.
5. Tells me my feedback is wrong when I give feedback on something.

Like at this point I don’t know what to do and I’m honestly looking for a new job at this point. My coworkers have had the same issue as well but until I can find something else I’m stuck with him. Any advice?

Anyone know any good places to get an alternator replaced? I’ll be bringing my own. Car decided to fail suddenly and I rlly don’t have the budget for it so I’m looking for someplace that won’t break the bank 🙃

Long story short, I have an “acquaintance” (idek if we could even be considered that) who’s getting married this summer. It’s not rlly a destination wedding since it’s in the US but it’s several states away and would either be an 8+ drive or a flight.

I know this acquaintance through a friend of mine and even though we all used to hang out all the time, it’s kind of slowed down. I occasionally get invited to group hang outs and potential vacation plans but I don’t get life updates about this group (other than my friend) unless we’re having a group hang outs. For example, I didn’t even know one person had a child on the way or the gender until my friend told me, but I’m pretty sure the others did.

I feel bad because we used to hang out a lot but we don’t talk at all even tho we all work in the same building (I’m on a different floor from everyone else) and I didn’t even know 2 members of the group moved to our building until I saw them.

The answer seems pretty obvious but I feel bad because I’m going to my significant other’s friends wedding (who I haven’t met yet due to scheduling conflicts) but their wedding is only a 2 hr drive away.

I’m also thinking about breaking away from the group as a whole.

WIBTA?

Edit: the invitation was sent out 2 years ago and we’ve slowly gotten more details about it as time has gone on. I RSVPd those 2 years ago because the group was fairly close but now that the event is getting closer, I’m not sure anymore.
