Dear Sejal,
I can understand how it feels like when u r mature enough 2 understand n do things properly n didn't get d chance 2 do that.But in ur case as u said that ur new boss has created his monopoly, i understand that what people are saying might b rite but dont make ur mind as other people say.
Secondly as u alrdy got 3 yrs of exp as Recruiter den u shuld nt get worried abt the positions from learning pt but just 2 get the proper and complete information of any work which he assigns u, keep things in black n white. Ask him 2 mail u n if u cant dn do mail him abt d wrk whtevr u r doing , whatevr pblm u r facing while doing d assigned wrk just mail him n if possible keep some senior person in loop(totally depend upon ur company scenario) as in my organisation we can keep our seniors in loop if something critical is there in between.
And regarding ur point dt he doesn't let other people approach u, then give people some time. Try 2 b more interactive with employees while lunch or tea breaks, discuss some of the official issue their opinions n all and meanwhile u also put ur input in d same, gradually dy vl come 2 no u as a HR person n if they found comfortable 2 discuss wd u dn this pblm of urs vl b solved. As ur boss is wrkng here since long, the other employees feels him d right person 2 discuss d things, but as d time vl pass people demselves vl cum 2 u n vl discuss their queries with u.
And plz dont be completely focussed on ur Boss behaviour n attitude. whenevr u get time, try 2 explore some new things related 2 HR. Like go thru d personal files of employee by which u can find out the quality of employees in the org. Go thru d returns, look for SOPs, if their is policies in d org dn read them otherwise make new one. I hope ur department vl b doing some daily or weekly meeting , in that u can discuss these things.
Otherwise try 2 arrange some meeting once in a month with ur boss n his seniors n explain the new things n suggestions in front of them.
Things can b better if u vl try 2 put some of ur efforts 2 improve. whatevr u do, do it 4 ur learning but keeping in mind d benefit of org. n employees as well.
In a span of 1 month dont conclude ur views about anyone.
Changing job is a option but i wuld nt suggest that, as problems r evrywhr in one or other form, b strong enugh 2 face dese kind of people n try 2 make ur place in d eyes of others.
And yes regarding ur appontmnt letter u ask him 2 gv it 2 u,othrwise make a letter of ur own n take print out n gv him 2 sign. othrws tlk 2 his senior regarding d same. I hope dr vl b someone who vl listen 2 u in this matter. Solutions r alwys dr 4 evry pblm, v just need 2 change d approach.
Just shared what i felt about ur pblm, hope i hv nt said somethng wrong but if i did dn my apology 4 same.
Thanks
