Tried asking my new boss for a sit-down meeting to discuss expectations...
I started a receptionist gig at a dentist office in Phoenix two weeks ago and wanted to get on the same page about how they want the phones handled. So I asked my boss for a 15 minute meeting and she literally said "just figure it out like everyone else." Now I'm scared to ask questions about anything. How do you guys handle a boss who seems annoyed when you try to do things the right way?

just figure it out like everyone else" sounds like she doesn't want to be a manager.

Doesn't it kind of prove she actually does want to be a manager but doesn't know how to train people properly? Because "figure it out" can mean she's frustrated that the person hasn't learned the basics yet, not that she's lazy. Maybe she's just bad at explaining things clearly and doesn't want to admit it.
