I am an office manager at a doctors office for sometime now. The doctor i work for is not nice. Anyhow she has now hired another "office Manager" i dont know why. she says he is here to help out. but now on all the office policies for rules in the office she has wrote his name for questions regarding any office issues!. Mind you this guy has never even worked in a doctors office before! she is now telling him to tell me what to do!. should i confront her about this i feel very disrespected! even patients are looking at me funny as if i am no longer the office manager cause when he introduces himself he says HE is the manager!

Get your resume out and start looking for another job...sounds real shady to me...Confronting hr may get you fired...it looks pretty obvious that you are going to be laid off/fired...so get another job quick before so you can do it to them first...

I would ask your boss to have a private meeting with you. Be very careful about the way you word things, & keep notes on all the events of the meeting. Explain to her that you would like to know where you stand. Ask her what she feels you could be doing to improve as an employee. Express your questions and concerns in a non confrontational manner. Make sure you to approach the stituation with confidence and genuine desire to learn. Do not approach the situation with anger, desperation or worry.
What she has done is dishonest & decietful. It shows she has poor people skills. Be the better person and show her she can not get you down.
Good Luck & remember if you are not happy at a job try to find an office that will appreciate your experience and your abilities to be an office manager. Life is too short to spend it working at a place that makes you dred waking up in the morning.

Yes, it is disrespectful to have someone more junior than you, who knows next to nothing about work in a clinic to be telling you or giving orders to you.
If you feel you are good enough to be able to find work in another clinic, you ought to resign. If the Dr obviously thinks this new person is better than you, you need to leave or suffer being downgraded. You do need to confront the Dr for her decision and leave anyway. Even if she thinks she knows what she's doing, you dont have veto over her decision. You may even give the Dr a taste of what she's been like, almost like demonstrating to her what she has been like to you. She may not be aware of her own actions. Even then, if she is really not nice, it'll show through with the new person in time.
If you are feeling unfairly treated, you need to just voice it out and if she doesn't wish to address the difficulties, you just need to leave it and leave the job.
If you are right, you shouldn't worry about finding another job.

You have been replaced as the office manager, and not in a very nice way. You might confront your boss, but since she didn't have the courage to discuss this with you, you probably won't get a satisfactory response from her. It may be that she's planning to let you go. In any event, you would be wise to start looking for another job.

I would definately ask this doctor outright what the role of this chap is. I was wondering if you have a contract. Does it state you are the office manager and what your duties are? Also I would ask this chap what he thinks his title is and his duties, and then you need to tell him (if you have a contract, because if not you don't have a leg to stand on) that you are employed as the office manager.
good luck

You're being fired. If you think the doctor is not nice, it means not nice to YOU. They want you gone and the new jerk is your replacement. The doctor either wants you to be humiliated and quit or is planning on firing you as soon as the new guy is fully trained. Either way, get your resume out there and get the hell out of dodge ASAP.

yes, you need to get the chain of command clarified. Ask her for a meeting so you can have a performance appraisal (you should get one every year anyway) and at the meeting you can bring up this issue. If she thinks you are under-performing it is only fair for her to tell you so, so you can look for another job.

The answer is YES, talk to her very directly, and not mildly. The first answer above is probably better, now that I look at it.
Now that I think about this some more, she's probably trying to get you to quit, in order to avoid paying unemployment for firing you.

You should definately ask for a clarification of your role in the office.
