Hi, you’re going to laugh, but my situation is a total mess. My direct manager is now my ex-girlfriend. It’s crazy, we broke up a year ago because she drove me nuts with all her nitpicking and control issues. I was the one who ended it.
Now I feel like I might have to quit. She clearly hates me and is constantly finding fault with everything I do.
What should I do?

    Regardless of how you got here, no job is worth staying if you do not have peace of mind. Start looking around. The current job will guve you... bargaining power and save you from getting anxious. Good Luck more

  • Sometimes we are quick to label things before really looking at them in depth. Control issues could also be structure oriented... Now they might... not have worked in the relationship but evaluate whether or not they work for the sake of your job... I don't know either of you but my assumption is.. If you strive to achieve what she is requesting, regardless of her motivation, it could produce a more structured version of yourself... The only thing you have control over is you and it's not too often, but sometimes as you work on you it can inspire others that see your enthusiasm, to work on themselves too... Sounds like a job that yours compassionate about so it might hurt more to leave because you've made your home away from home...there. If it doesn't apply...let it fly. But it is or could be another option.😉 more

  • Don't quit your job. In every institution you will find favorables and unfavorables. Your situation is better of because you know the source. Be... committed to you cores in time she may come to reality. All the best. more

  • I would have a civilized conversation with her from one adult to another reminding her that although we've dated and things did not work out we still... have to keep a professional relationship and that brings things that are personal to the business and workplace. more
