Hellooooo imposter syndrome.
You're not an imposter! You know how to wear pants. Plus, you're a classically educated librarian.
None of it means a damn thing.

kinda seeing the dark side of new boss today. I knew it was there, but wasn't sure the exact form. blame, he likes to blame. also make authoritative statements based on seemingly nothing aside from him wanting it to be true "we talked about that" ummm, no. "he had files set up, he wrote about it in his notes email." again, no, nothing about this project in that email or any of his emails at all. Saying it does not make it so. Interesting habit to have formed, again, a blame mechanism to push stuff back at people or onto others.
Oh yes, there is a reason I communicate mostly in email. I will now make doubly sure to do so with him. and keep everything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just had an argument of sorts with my old manager about me pushing work off on other people. I asked her what the difference was supposed to be if I still did my old job, other than having to do even more with the new job. I absolutely do have to stop doing some stuff, and assuming it was important, yeah, someone else will have to do it.
*My* current boss told me I'm not doing deployments anymore. If the old manager knows I am, well that's a broader conversation than just this email exchange.

I've just been told "remember everyone else is busy..."
Well, maybe you shouldn't have cut your staff, huh? I didn't ask to leave, you told me I was going.

One manager in my hierarchy was asking for help with some proposal efforts, which would be a great learning opportunity for me. I said I'd help but couldn't lead the effort. Then my direct manager sent out a request for us to list what projects we are working on now and what our expected time committments are for the next 6 months. Not including that proposal effort, I'm already over 100% committed. Eeeeep.

I am so pissed right now I could burst into tears by mistake. Which means I need to take deep cleansing breaths, maybe take a walk (or two) around the block...but I've gone to my new manager and told him that my old job won't let go, and asked one of the old managers if his expectation of my new job is that I keep doing my old one too.
I don't really care if this gets ugly, since I feel it is ugly.
