Okay folks i need some words of wisdom.
I'm a trainee at a start up business within the building insurance sector. I'm progressively learning and doing what i can to do well. We are a small business 4-5 people. I work with construction managers who are relatively approachable expect for ONE.
Because most of the CM's are on the road I'm often back at the office alone to do whatever work is left more me or work through a list.
This one particular CM just does not take kindly to me at all, is always snappy and arrogant when answering my questions that i have which are work related, and because i'm learning i have to ask.
One on one he just does not respond to anything i say, doesn't acknowledge me, doesn't say hello and just proceeds to be quiet.
Today i had to do a webinar on his behalf on work related process, i got as much of it down pat but because it relates to work and as a Jnr if i tell him what to do i fear/know hell dismiss me and belittle me about asking him to do said things.
So what do you do, how do you approach this whilst waiting for a smartass. arrogant response which will JUST defeat me?
PS I've told the other CM about him and he tends to agree that he doesn't seem to quiet trust him yet, he's advised me to keep reading him and see what he does. Funny thing is when both CM and director are in the office he becomes Mr Nice guy and sucks ass.
