I need some advice on how to handle my relationship with my TL. We don't really mesh well. Not sure why, but that's just the way its been. Recently my workcenter has a second TL kinda helping out with dealing with the team. I don't really trust that when I talk to either of them, what I say won't get repeated. They are chatting with each team member regularly now, so I kinda have no choice but to talk to them. Morale is extremely low in the department, and both TLs said they know tms are not comfortable talking to them. I told them about some general issues that the tms have, and the TLs seemed to listen, saying they were unaware of these issues and am glad I told them.
I'm actually closer with my ETL than either of them, and she is aware that I have no desire to promote, but apparently the TLs and the rest of the ETLs thought I would like to? They seemed very upset and taken aback when I told them i am happy where I am. I was told new tms will now be brought up to my level and will surpass me, but I don't really care. I feel like they view me as less of a valued member of the team after this discussion. I also growing more uncomfortable with these little chats. Not sure what to do.
