[QUOTE="Suz, post: 385111, member: 29"] I wonder if your boss is defensive because he feels as deeply scrutinized by you as you feel by him? Certainly the detail in which you post about him indicates that there isn't much he does that gets past you and from the sounds of it you seem to be openly questioning everything. I'm not sure that anyone....you....or him.....can stand up to the kind of scrutiny you both seem to be giving each other. It is way more intense than anything I've ever experienced for being so new on the job and I've been working a very long time and had a lot of bosses and jobs. There is no doubt that you and the boss have not gotten off to a good start. Hey, it happens! Is there any way that you can step back a couple of paces, K, and relax a little bit? Like Sharon said, keep your nose to the grindstone and say as little as possible to your boss. Document everything you want but say little. Like I said earlier, smile, be a team player, yada yada, you know the drill. You might have a 90 day review period but it's my guess that if things don't change soon, he probably doesn't have to wait that long to let you go if he wants to. PA is an "at will" state which means that you can get fired pretty much any time. I don't know what your new state is, but you might want to check the laws on that. Suz [/QUOTE]
