How I should react to this situation?

The seniors will always fee unsecure, when somebody can handle the job independantly, to thwart the seniors interfearance, ensure to give a daily report at the end of the day, and make it clear that you cannot perform to the full extent, when there is a interfearance. All the best.

Its indeed a difficult situation for you chaitra. I would suggest you to go along with your senior as he would help you in any situation and explain him some of the works which he has to know about it and it is not need for you to explain everything about the job assigned to you by the company. But have a smooth track with him. It would help you.

It's a common problem which comes in corporate life. Do not think much about your senior because the problem is with him not with you. Do not allow him to interfere in your work but do talk to him offline. Offline means like people do general talk in the office. You behave with him like a colleague and concentrate on your work. He wants you to get tense with his behavior and commit mistakes in your work. So don't allow him to rule your metal situation. Keep it cool!

I'm sure many of the members here can give you tips on how to work out that problem. As for me, since its like you are torn between your senior and the one who directly assigns you with the tasks, if I may suggest, you may provide your senior with the list of those tasks and their status just for his/her information, not necessarily depending on his directions on how to do it, since instructions were already given to you. Because normally, your senior should know your activities. He still deserves to be part of the loop. Hope this helps.

Hi chaitra. I understand your problem. I have seen this happen many times. My suggestion would be to approach the company manager (the one who assigned the work to you) and ask for clarification of your duties. Tell him you are not clear as to your position and that of your senior and you don't want to do the wrong thing. Ask him plainly just what your position is. He should appreciate your honesty and desire to do the right thing.

Hi Chaitra, I would suggest for you to just go along with him for the time being. I would be unacceptable for you to go against your senior at this point, however, as I am sure you are able to communicate with your big boss, you can inform the big boss your work done and the things that you have contributed to the company.

Many people here have given you lots of advices, for your help; but believe me there's no way out. It's a catch 20 situation. You cannot runaway from it or change it. At best you can try to sort it out with your senior by some talking but believe me again that'll not help you in a long term. Because your senior will be doing the same thing after few days. You have to face the situation. Or leave the job and get new one. But things would be different from now... well, there's no guarantee.

hello, i believe some one doesn't want you to rise from the trenches and instead tries to get credit from all of your work. that's not what a senior should and i consider that an abuse of power. it's either you file a complaint to the boss of what you're senior is upto or record both of your works and his updates so that you can have evidence to show that you don't need his help anymore

Hi Chaitra,

I am sorry to learn that you are facing a problem in your office. I know it is difficult to handle because we need the cooperation from our colleagues irrespective of their status (senior or junior) for a peaceful environment in our office. I know your nature; you don’t want to hurt your senior at the same time you want to prove your professional skill too. I think it is better to talk your boss directly, if she/he can understand you well then your problem will be solved. You can request your boss to provide independent works to you, so that you can prove your professional skill.

Hi chaitra001

I have read your discussions hours ago. But I try to realize the situation arose to you and try to find what would be the best solution for you.

But the situation is the contextual phenomenon. I think you get what I want to say. I want to elaborate..... Same situation for various individual carry different impact. That means what the situation you feel uncomfortable that may be very comfortable for other one.

So the best way to tackle a situation in own way is the best. So What I now go to suggest you may not be effective for you. But what will be the best to bring that situation under your control I will now try to state here. Its my humble suggestion. But before taking any action you should think twice on the matter.

First thing is that you too be little practical. As he is your senior so it is in his disposal to guide you to some extent. If he interfere more than his boundary you should give him the hints whether is he crossing his boundary. For that you have to impressed him with your personality. Personality never be ignored. You have to make little improvement in your personality. you should mind another matter that he never be find any fault in your deeds of the job.

Second thing ... I think your senior is not the supreme boos you your company. There are some one who is senior that the senior of you. You have to do your job like that way that you come to the notice of the senior of your senior. And if your senior of your senior will impressed by your activity then the interfere of him automatically reduced.

Noe third thing you are facing the situation. So you the best judge of the situation. So now you have to fine the way of the remedy.
