My company is planning to fire me despite my good performance. Whenever anybody complains to my manager that she is not performing well, she always starts blaming me, saying that my junior (me) is not working nicely and not cooperating with her. The fear of being fired has been with me since the very first month, as she has started to feel insecure. She thinks that if I perform well, she (my manager) might be kicked out of the organization. Therefore, she began complaining about me from the very first month of my joining.
Kindly help me and let me know how I can overcome this problem.

Dear Sumi,
Please come out of this "Fear Phobia" and continue your good work. Do your best and leave the rest. You are employed in an organization and working for your employer. As long as your performance is satisfactory, there is nothing to worry about.
While you mention that your immediate manager is feeling insecure about you, you may also be feeling insecure looking at your manager. Stop worrying and focus on your job. Try to introspect yourself and improve on your interpersonal skills.

Dear Sumi12,
If your manager has engaged in the blame game, you may list out your duties and the amount of work you have completed in the past nine months or the current calendar year. Specifically mention in numerical terms what you could increase or decrease. Confront your manager with the facts.
Once your meeting with the manager is over, send the Minutes of Meeting (MoM) to the Managing Director (MD) of the company. This will help you keep him in the loop. Currently, the MD is receiving information only from your manager. However, your perspective is not reaching him. Therefore, it is better to be proactive.
Thanks,

Hi, I honestly faced a similar situation at the office. However, what I can suggest is to keep records of all things done and achieved. If possible, quantify the work and keep a status report of works done before and after joining, highlighting areas of improvement such as PF settlements, Full and Final Settlements, hiring of resources, and setting up the department, etc.
If there is anybody above your boss, you can showcase your achievements to them. Also, seek an explanation if there are attempts to remove you. Ask for a written explanation or proof to support any claims made against you. It may be one-sided. Take time to speak to her privately one-on-one. Ask for guidance on areas of improvement or specific ways a task should be completed. Avoid letting ego interfere; ultimately, accept her authority as she is your boss, which is normal to expect.
Remember, you are all part of the same department and team, working together towards common goals. I hope this advice helps. If you are considering leaving, explore other options in the interim. If you are otherwise content with the company, continue doing a good job. Best wishes.
