We have the video proof of that decision.
If true then get the hell out. It kind of sounds like they are trying to force you out anyway, making you do things they know you don't like. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've been fired, and I believe it benefited me when I found out that I would persevere. It actually gave me something, I no longer feared losing a job. You got this Ace. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Maybe get some professional reinforcement for coping and try a few therapists while you look around for new employment. Professionals maybe can provide coping mechanisms. Who knows, might even do you good in other areas. Not everyone could afford such an action in similar circumstances so you consider yourself lucky in that respect. (I said a few therapists, because people shouldn't judge all therapists by the first one they try) You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

You sound like I did when I was running the pest control company. After I was clipped people remarked how much happier I sounded, though I didn't notice. I woke up with panic attacks and in general hated life. Get out as soon as you can. Not worth it. Don't burn bridges, but find a way out, even a contract job as a bridge. Because here is the other thing. It is possible that for whatever reason the other guy does not like or wants to replace you and will keep making life unpleasant. I have had that, too. Impossible to win. The President is a fink. |

aceofspades Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 83 Posts: 2019 | I have great news: the bookkeeper (who used to be a big fan of the protege) and the two legal secretaries (all three of these ladies have been here 20+ years each) all went into the Boss’s office yesterday to complain about the protege and told him that if any of them ever quit it would be because of the protege — they also told the Boss that I was very unhappy about being transferred to work exclusively with the protege (but that I would never tell the Boss that as I wouldn't throw someone under the bus like that) — well, apparently, the Boss listened and reversed course and took me away from the protege and back under his fold!!!! YES YES YES |

AWESOME! One thing it never ceases to amaze me that for all the complaints of sexism in the workplace, 95% of the time it is the women who speak up. Ever see how Peggy Olson got her office? Granted sometimes they do not know when to stop for their own good, but other times, this time, it seems to have worked out. The President is a fink. |

Mad Men. She got promoted and wanted an office that had just been vacated. She went to Roger Sterling (junior name partner) to ask. Roger was so impressed he gave it to her and said none of the men would dare ask him. The President is a fink. |

Why would he have you be under some new kid, I don't get that part of it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
