    Back when the economic crisis happened my work purged all that middle management stuff. So now it is workers > dept manager > director, and i have a very hands-off manager. I wish you luck because that sounds like hell.

    He big thing I'm dealing with right now is I somehow got the reputation of being the "guy who correctly predicts outcomes" and "can fix anything" which is endlessly annoying. In the months before the pandemic we had a bunch of people leave and be replaced and one in particular who does not like my reputation.

    There were a few projects that I was pulled into last minute during an major software implementation that were outside my area but I managed to MacGuyver a solution out of rubberbands and chewing gum so the implementation didn't fail. I wrote up documentation of all known issues, downstream effects, future corrections, and workarounds.

    One girl in particular would take every chance she gets to stop by my cube daily and point out all the flaws and complain how she doesn't see how anyone could have failed so hard, knowing I did the work. Me recognizing the issues and pointing out a few that needs fixed causes extreme passive-aggressiveness against me. To everyone else she talks to she gives glowing reviews of me, but is always super aggressive toward me in person. She is smart as a whip so i don't understand why she doesn't just fix the issues.

    I don't understand and it is annoying. I'm not going to complain to management as she appears to only do it to me. I have never understood pointing out someones flaws especially when they already know them and will readily admit to them. So much more productive to just be helpful. I get to avoid all this shit while working from home, which looks like its going to be a forever option.

    Could it be she likes you?

    I have never understood female psychology.

      I just figured that I would be left alone once they proved themself to themself and their manager. If your suggestion is correct I imagine I will have to put up with this for longer.

        Try taking off the wedding ring and looking available, nothing kills interest faster than knowing something is easily attainable.
