I'm currently working at a software company for close to 2 years now and I feel I'm doing a good job.
My task lead has been becoming very annoying lately.
My Problem
Everyday for at least the last 6 months, I would get comments from my task lead like
- I say I don't know something - "you don't know this? haha, you will fail in the industry my friend."
- I say a joke - "that's not an intelligent joke, it's not funny to me"
- he will randomly ask how to do something, I ask him to wait a minute and I'll find out and then he'll reply - "it's okay, forget it, I'll figure it out myself" (one time, for the heck of it, I said that I do know and I will teach him, he said "this is difficult stuff, you have to.." and he starts to go on about how much he knows)
- I am talking to another co-worker on what I'm working on, he'll jump in and go "that's simple stuff"
- (The most annoying one) Every week, Co-worker asks what I did during the weekend. I say what I did during the weekend - he'll jump in and say "that's kiddie stuff" or "that's for girls"
- I talk to a co-worker that fits the stereotypical "gay guy" attitude and then he'll start telling everyone that I'm the gay guy's best friend.
- there was one time, something was not completed on his side, he blamed it on me.
- I said I am going to take Friday off, because I worked during the weekend to meet boss' deadline, he tells me that no one asked you to work during the weekend. I came in anyways to finish up some stuff in the morning, he tells me I can't leave even after I'm done.
- list goes on and on.. he'll basically do anything to do slam me down and put himself up.
What other co-workers think
I finally started to express how I feel about my task lead and everyone I spoke to said "yes, that guy picks on you A LOT for some reason!"
What I have done about it
Last Thursday, he asked to use my computer. Ofcoarse I did and he starts to say how I'm so disorganized because files are everywhere. So I finally snapped and asked "Why can't you pass one day without talking sh*t to me." Then he started to say how I don't get him and I take things personally. The next day he tells co-workers he can't talk to me because I take things too seriously. RRG!
Why I can't avoid him
He is my task lead and he reports my status every month to the supervisor. I think if I'm in bad standing with him, I'm in bad standing with the company.
Why I posted this
Is there something I can do about this? This is really really bad for my health.. I go home so irritated everyday. Thanks in advance.
