This is a big long......if you have any advice to share, please do...
I work as a salesperson for a large company. I've been for almost a year. My numbers are consistent; I always make goal. I enjoy my job and am fairly well liked.
During the first year of employment, one is placed in a training class. Once the year is up, one moves from the training class to a regular team and a new manager.
Well, I found out who my new manager/team is going to be. I was shocked. It wasn't whom I expected at all. And to complicate the issue, I was told that I would be sitting next to my new "mentor", a very aggressive female who wants to go into management. No flames please , but I have never worked well with another female. This scares me. And I've heard that the manager himself likes to micromanage. I also fear this as I am pretty much left alone on my current team.
Anyhoo, as soon as my current manager told me this, I was visibly upset. I felt cheated(Yeah, I know that sounds dumb). I was the top salesperson in my training class and yet everyone else in the class got the manager of choice but me. My boss explained the reasoning to me. I was still doubtful. He must have told his boss about my feelings because she pulled me into her office and explained things to me,too. My entire week had just sucked(at work,at home and in my personal life) and I spent the rest of the day sulking.
Fast forward a day later. I've calmed down a bit and I'm really embarrassed over the fit I pitched. I've never shown a bad attitude at work until Friday.
Now I have to walk in there on Monday....and I just want to crawl under my deak:(
