Actually, I was very happy about my new employment. The job description seemed very versatile, the pay was good, and my previous experience was taken into account. In the beginning, everything was okay, too. My boss informed me daily about upcoming topics and involved me in current tasks. He was therefore actively interested in my performance and valued my work. However, this is gradually changing. Lately, I don't get to see him for days at a time, and if he has any additional work in addition to my day-to-day business, it is usually activities far below my requirements profile. Own creativity and own thinking is not (anymore) demanded from him. Quite the opposite, he even recently crossed out a report of mine and asked me to start all over again without checking the results in more detail. I would learn from mistakes, but simply questioning everything disrespectfully shocked me and I didn't know how to react to him at that moment. Unfortunately, I agreed very meekly to rewrite the report.
Now I wonder if this is already bullying? This kind of thing is piling up. Unfortunately, I don't really dare to talk to anyone about it. My boss is very popular with my colleagues and I'm worried that they won't believe me that he treats me like this. I'm even afraid that if I openly communicate, my situation will get worse and it will be interpreted negatively to me ("the new one", "the emotional one"). This is really stressing me out. What should I do?
