Am I Just Being a Pregosaurus????

Seriously. I need to know if I have the right to be pissed or am I just being a pregosaurus.

Here goes ...

I've been at my job for around 6 months or so. I've had no complaints yet so I figured I was doing things just fine. Well last week I was pulled into the owners office and he asked me if I'd had a review yet. I said, "no." He goes on to say he had a few things he would like to address.

The only thing he wanted to complain about was my ability to answer the phone. He said I was unprofessional and sounded bland. I was more than a little shocked considering it'd been 6 months. Why was this just now being brought to my attention? That aside, he continued on with his pointers and explanations even going so far as to 'joke' about replacing me. As if that were any laughing matter in my position. I decided getting angry wasn't going to do me any good, so I took his advice and began implementing the changes into my call routine.

Then today, he calls. I answer with the peppiest spiel I can muster and he mimics me awkwardly. I ignored it (After all how are you supposed to respond to a grown man mimicking you?) and said, "Good morning." He asked to be transferred and I said, "just one moment." like he requested. To my surprise I hear my coworker answering questions about the way I had handled his call. She said, "No I think she sounded just fine. Well our company name is a bit of a mouth full." And so on from there.

You should know I also got two compliments from two different callers on Friday. I'm starting to think that this may have something to do with my pregnancy. This began within a day of me telling my supervisor about it. I still have yet to officially tell the owner but we live in a very small town so I'm sure he's heard something through the grapevine, if my supervisor hasn't already told him.

My supervisor had made me feel really comfortable about my pregnancy working for this company. I was really even starting to regret my thoughts of maybe not coming back after birth. Then the next day, I begin to get complaints from the owner. Right now I'm just taking it one day at a time but sometimes it almost feels like he's baiting me. I'm not really sure what to think, but I can tell you I no longer love my job like I did.

On the other hand, he's been known to go through phases of crabbiness and complaints about anything and everything, so maybe that's what's happening here.

So what do you think?
Am I just being a pregosaurus? Leave a comment letting me know and if you have a similar story I'd love to read it!

Thanks
