Setting up a boundary
I ended up being so fed up by my boss’s constant need for meetings that don’t actually address anything I’m working on and only addresses what he is working on and how good it makes him look. After I presented a report to a client yesterday, he stayed for another hour in my office working on his laptop instead of returning back to his office. He asked me what I’m working on and we went over a few topics. It got to a point where I had to excuse myself to the restroom to get him to leave. I had a doctors apt today at 3pm and tomorrow is the last day before a holiday weekend. He emailed me again today asking to meet at 3pm tomorrow for an hour for a general check in. I’m very confused as we met Tuesday for an hour, Wednesday for an hour and now again? For what??? It’s actually affecting my work at this point because I can’t get anything done when he’s constantly meeting without a meeting agenda. I responded back to his request saying “sorry I thought we met yesterday for a general check in and went over multiple things, can you clarify why we need to meet again? I have a lot of work due the tuesday we get back and need time to work on them. If you feel it’s necessary then I’m happy to meet again” he never responded to my email. I’m so so tired of dealing with this. Anyone had any success creating small boundaries with narc bosses and end up actually working? Thanks
