Am I In The Wrong Feeling This Way?

I was so happy to be able to go back to work, even to a host workplace, until now. After 4 weeks at my host workplace, my new female boss informs me that she doesn't like my starting working hour and wants me to change it to fit in with her plan for me, that is, going to work earlier than I usually do. When I first start at this place, I was told that I would be there until the end of the year. The new boss doesn’t pay for my salary (I'm paid from the big Boss), and it is a bonus for her to have me there to help out. From my point of view, there is no need for her to change my starting time at all as this place is well established and I am just an extra person. I’m like a ghost in this place and my presence there doesn’t mean anything to them. I believe that she wants to use me as a replacement for whenever one of her staff is away. I don’t mind doing that as long as my starting time stays the same. But at the same time I don't like being used. I myself really appreciate for her taking me in, which I am not sure if she has a choice to do so or not, and will be happy to do whatever she wants me to do if I am the only involving in it. But with this change, it involves my family and I’m not happy about it. I try to please everyone and want to carry out my duty as a parent, but my well-being is not being met, especially from the new boss. Am I in the wrong in thinking that she is injustice to me? Does she care for her staff well-being at all? I have been there for a month now and I still haven't provided a locker to put my stuff away nor a corner to put my belongings. .

Can you get another job more better? Or is that it, you have to put up with her this new boss?

I'm waiting to go back to my old workplace, which I can't at the moment as I can't face the bully, my old boss. The only way I think of right now is to try my best and if I can't please the new boss then ...no idea..

I would talk to the boss who sent you there and find out from him what you should do, especially since he's the one paying you and you're there out of courtesy.

I would speak to her first and if you can't get the hours you initially were hired to work, talk to the big boss.

I can see that everywhere you go you will not really be happy with your workplace/the people you are working with... I wonder why people have to be mean to one another.

She is being very inconsiderate! Maybe you should talk to the big Boss and you really should have a locker or space for your belongings. I hope you can resolve this.

Do you have a choice? Can you look for another job? Sometimes we feel like we are being abused when our own expectations aren't in line with our superiors. Hope things get sorted out soon.

This is my host workplace, which was found for me by an officer. I don't think I have to do what the new boss wants me to do but I don't want to disappoint her, but it stresses me out. Thanks

Leave that work place my friend, don't be like a prisoner. That lady boss seems feeling great of who she is failing to think she is also like a slave.Don't hurt yourself in that kind of atmosphere. God has a plan and He knows what is best for yoiu, so never be afraid to resign ASAP and find another job where you feel respected by people in a work place.

Thanks. I wish I can be strong like you. I was brave enough to talk to her and thing is ok now... Hopefully it will be ok until I am able to go back to my real workplace.
