You misread criticism. A supervisor wouldn’t spend time overseeing you if he wasn’t into promoting you. But will you promote yourself?
Your “keep out” policy is backfiring. Switch to open door civility at work and the atmosphere will improve immediately.
You’re through the worst of it. If you’re still talking then rest assured that your relationship is solid. If not? Then you’re not. And that might not be a bad thing.
It’s time to sit down and work out your gripes. It can be done if you’re both honest and agree to refrain from the zingers and biting remarks.
It’s spin, not facts that matter. Dream up some good sound bites.
You’ll be surprised to see people you wouldn’t normally talk to seeking you out. They need your help. They feel out of step and have no idea how to adjust to their new normal.
