she's too bossy.. .

I worked somewhere once and we got a new manager. For about a year she was so nice and everybody liked her. After about a year and a half I started to hear things about how awful she was. Her office was in another city at one of our businesses. I couldn't believe the things people were saying about her. Then when she came to our office for the day I saw how she was. And she got worse. She would always let us know when she was coming out but she started just coming out with no notice as if she wanted to catch us doing something wrong. She lied about things and was just the most horrible person you can imagine ever having to work for. One woman that worked for her at the same building as her said every time she called her to her office her stomach just got in knots. Another girl out there went home after work everyday crying because the stress of dealing with this manager was too much. She would keep asking you questions about what you were doing over and over again as if you were lying. All kinds of questions like she thought she would catch you in a lie. I never saw anything so bad in the 21 years I worked for that company. The bad part was she was the boss. I think she was losing her mind or something. She turned from a nice person into a very evil witch that everybody hated. You should just try to stay away from the person as much as you can. I think getting a promotion went to her head. The one I worked for was already a manager when she came to our department. I don't know what her problem was. Good luck.

Is the accounting position superior? If yes, maybe your friend naturely want to control over others. At the original level as before like you, she had no right to exert her desire for controlling, but now it gave her a chance. Of course there may be another reason for it. On a new position or a superior one, she may get the pressure from the boss. She took over the postion for she was recognized, and now she felt the motivation, naturally the pressure coming upon herself. And if the above are not the reason, you just should sit down to have a talk with her to find out why her behavior had u-turn changed. She may just have no chance to speak out, and as her friend, you should be more considerate and cares her more.

Yes many behave like that when they get a promotion; it is really kind of self ego and inferiority complex thanks for sharing

Hi, These type of things happen in everyone's life. Some people are very humble and nice even if they are on the top position. But some people become boastful when they get the higher position. they start thinking that they are the best. no other person is like them. but this is not fair. Such people don't get respect from others. They are always disliked by others.

Hi friend, some persons change their activities and attitudes after getting a higher post, i think your friend is also in this sort, this kind of persons thought that the company is running behind them, it is really hard to manage the concern with out their help, as we know empty vessels make more noise, so don't give importance to her activities and keep distance from this kind of dominating persons

I have a friend and she became our supervisor..She never changed but of course since she's our supervisor theres always a limitation..

It happen to me once upon a time too, i can understand fully how you feel about this 'friend' of yours. May be you jumped to a wrong conclusion at the early stage of your friendship with her, she might only considered that relationship is that you are just another co-worker she has to work along with in the company instead of a close friend you thought of her. Right now she is at a higher position above you in the company, she doesn't has to talk to you in a polite and friendly way anymore like before, she can order you around and demand you to finish whatever task necessary without felling guilty. You got yourself wrong to think she is your good friend to begin with, in reality, she has never thought that way at all. It is better for you to give up on her sooner than later, at least you got to realize your mistake and wake up from your dream this time.

An accounting clerk isn't that high a position for someone to act high almighty. I can understand those from the ran and file who were promoted to management position to exhibit some form of strictness to his or her friends. Sometimes they're even more strict to them since they don't want to be accused of favoritism. But strictness isn't the same as bossiness. Maybe your friend wasn't really a friend in the first place.

It may be that the new job has gone to her head and that has made the change in her attitude. This happens to people when they are overwhelmed, like those who get suddenly rich when they've been poor, or improve their looks or figures. They just can't handle the new situation. Perhaps deep down she feels insecure and afraid that she cannot do the job as well as expected, that could make her tense towards everyone. Either way there is no excuse for rudeness to anyone, either her friends or her colleagues. You will know better when she settles down into the job and perhaps gains more confidence. Meantime you seem to have taken a step back from her and that may not be a bad thing.

Well, someeople just can't take "instant promotions", or something like that. They tend to think of this on one sided only, they think that they're better than most of the people the that they're chosen for the post instead. Of courses, we know from uncle Ben that for every power comes great responsibilities, it isn't all privileges and power. Whenever I encounter people like this in my work, I just ignore her and focus on my work. It is not my responsibility to tame her. But if she crosses the line, like directly disrespects me, is rude to me or does some stuff that delays or prevents me from doing my job, then I will ask her to have a small chat with our HR personnel in a nice way so everything's clear between us: work responsibilities, what she and I need to do to get the job done, and from what the attitude of hers is stemming from. I don't intend to do this conversation more than once so I figure with another rightful person present, everything should be in order and clear cut.

In a professional life one should be balanced to become successful in life. With the change of designation if the attitude of a worker changes it may not be a very good aspect in the long tun but obviously he/ she can gain temporarily out of the situation. It might happen she has been instructed by her boss to be demanding & she is just executing the same.

At the working time,the relationship between you is superior and subordinate ;but at other time you are friends.If you are relationship always at the"working time",so i think you give up her is right.i don't think this people would be a really friend.

maybe shes just pressure of her position that`s why shes acting like that.. and maybe she is building a wall that she is now your boss so don`t treat her like before when you to are friends.. is she like that even if your out in the office..? if she is then she has change.. people change in a snap because of what they attain.. and that is a sad truth in this world..

Yes, different folks with different strokes. The position get's into her head, sorry for her friends and co workers. If she becomes the manager, whatever she wants you must follow. But most of the time people like that don't succeed really as in highest position. There is one thing called Karma. Yes it happened to me, and my friend. She became like that, but after a short while the position was reassigned to someone else.

Nice good friend in same department ohhh God her nature is not good but you think she is good. When I was doing MCM I also feel about a friend she stay 15 days in my home for study I feel she is very good girl but she was selfish and after completing exam one day she called me say dont call me because our friendship was only for study purpose.
