I am having problems at work. Lately it seems that in the eyes of my boss I can’t do anything right. I’m not responsive enough, I’m not thorough enough. Whenever I do something, I (in his eyes) seem to do it wrong.

I never had any problems like this with my previous boss (same company; same job). I am just on pins and needles when he comes to our office for a visit. No matter how good I think I’ve done something, he seems to find fault with it; its like he is fishing for problems.

I can’t afford to get fired. I am too old to find another comparable job with a comparable salary. And while my wife and I are not overextended we are carrying some debt.

I feel very intimidated when he is around. I only have ten years to retire. It too late for me to start over.

Please pray for me. 😦
 
I do feel for you, I’ve been in that position myself with a new boss. I’m praying for you.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Prayers for you Lost Sheep. Good grief what a nightmare to have a boss so critical.
Of course you are on pins and needles and also intimidated in such a situation,

I pray for you for relief of this situation or improvement upon it and your boss that he may truly realize how difficult and critical he is. He may be under a lot of pressure himself and that has in my experience produced a boss very critical and nerve wracked himself inside
not even realizing he has become so critical of his employees. Just a thought on that…

Peace to you,
Mary.
 
Praying for your situation, Lost_Sheep. And praying for the next 10 years left on the job to be as smooth sailing as possible.

I really am sorry. Having recently left a work situation like that, I know how stressful it can be and I don’t yet have so many long-term commitments (marriage, kids, etc.).

I pray that your career will remain secure and rewarding.

Mother Mary, I entrust Lost_Sheep to your loving care. Please ease his suffering and help him to carry his cross courageously, patiently and lovingly. Help him to offer up his suffering. May he focus his mind and heart on God and on Heaven, and not on his present sorrows. Amen.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Thank you all for your concern and prayers. I respectfully ask that you keep them coming.

Things seem to have gone from bad to worse.😦

I found out today that my boss is putting me on a Performance Improvement Plan (e.g., probation). And, he says I need Customer Service training. Nevermind that I have been in a Customer Service role for over 20 years. :mad:

Simply put, if he does not feel I have “improved” after 90 days, I will be shown the door. 😦

Thank you again.:gopray2:
 
Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen
