‘Two-faced’ manager diminishes employee's accomplishments in front of other colleagues but flips a switch in private, sparking employee's concerns: ‘Her behavior is frustrating and feels calculated’

More often than not, an employee's manager is not their friend. Heck, they might not even be an acquaintance. The workplace is a dog-eat-dog world, and any employee would be wrong if they assumed their boss liked them simply because they said so. These assumptions are dangerous; You'll be on top of the world one minute, then your boss will give you seven reasons to make you feel like dirt. Like, pick a side!

In the way that you're constantly looking behind you when you're on a deserted street late at night, keeping one eye on your boss at all times is not only something you have to do, but something you should want to do. An entitled boss like the one in this story will walk around thinking they don't need you and will, first and foremost, always look after themselves. You can wash their back and polish their shoes, and it still wouldn't be enough. If you're not careful, you might end up like the employee here, who is getting emotional whiplash from their two-faced manager. Scroll to read.
