Had another long talk with my boss yesterday. In the end, she told me she will only confirm my appointment if I can accept her working style! I was taken aback. She told me to think about it over the week and let her know next monday. My colleagues said she is too much. Confirmation should be base on my work performance and not whether I can accept her working style and communication preferences. She is kind of "threatening" me. In order for me to receive my confirmation, I have to accept her working style. If I can't accept her, she is implying that I have to leave, even though she did not literally say this but this is what she implies. This morning, as I left for work, I have wanted to tell her "yes, I will accept the way you are in order to have my confirmation processed". But after hearing my colleagues' advice, I decided not to. They are right that I should not give in to her demands. If I agree to her request, I will not be able to express my views/opinions that go against hers in future whenever there are problems at work. Sigh....I can only continue as an unconfirmed staff until she is willing to give me my confirmation letter without me telling her anything. I have never met a boss like her. She absolutely don't appreciate me at all.



Should I stay or should I go?
