I can't trust her

I am avoiding the coordinator at the shelter, and really thinking I can't trust her to the least. She will back stab you as fast as you can turn around. I had said concerns about the volunteers, and the neglect to the animals. She just shrugged it off, then interrogated me like I was lying. I have been with the shelter for over 5 years, and been doing adoptions way before she even came into being the corrdinator. She needs to know everything I do down to me farting. I bring the rabbits in, and adoptions/ surrenders. Anything I do it's not good enough or she needs to fix it. This has been going on for months, now that she has been in the boss roll. I think she's on a power trip, and just pushing everyone around. I can't even see to talk to her as she's too busy trying to push me around or tell me what to do. I don't see the enjoyment in the shelter anymore because of her. I haven't talked to her in a few days and it was so nice. Today she kept texting me asking why some lady was waiting for me, does it really matter?. I think she's just a very negative person and jealous of what others have. I get this just by what she says about other people, and how she gossips about people.

If she was promoted from within, it must be hard for her to assert her authority as the leader or supervisor. I say this because I was promoted from within. I went to nursing school while working as an aide. Then when I got my license I had to put my grown up hat on and be a leader. Not everyone liked it because they missed the old me. I was no different, but had more responsibility than them. Crap runs down hill. Every wrong they did fell to me. Their mistakes was my fault so I had to tighten up. That may be similar with her. On second note. It might behoove you to speak to her one on one. Ask for an appointment and speak with respect and sincerity. Try not to prejudge her until you speak to her. She may have so much on her she comes off rude and doesn't mean to? These are just my thoughts.

I did end up talking to her and she simple just pushed it off (almost to avoid even talking about it). I completely get what you had explained and said. It does make sense. But I doubt that is the case with her, she simple seems to have a backstabbing personality and will throw you under the bus.

She is scared you want her job and that you will take it from her.I have had a boss like that. She knows or senses that you are more qualified than she is for the job she has. I hope you can out last her.

I honestly think you are right. The other day beginning of this week she kept asking me to use my gas and drive 2 hours to an event (which she agreed too). I said sorry I dont have gas money for that, I can't even afford what I have now. She agreed to a few things, so anytime she asked me to do it I said sorry I can't afford it. I am not willing to go above and beyond considering the amount of money I currently spend on the fosters and going into the shelter when she wants to be boss when she feels like it.

I completely agree! She talks about me behind my back, or things like I said the rabbits are being neglected. They are not coming in to feed them, or caring for them she just shrugs it off.
