That's a great idea! Maybe something useful will come out of it for me...
*takes opportunity to vent*
Just a quick briefing: I work for an elected representative. He has 4 people who work for him, including myself, the "supervisor" and two other guys who essentially do the same kind of duties I do.
Anyway, today was absolutely ridiculous. In the past several months tensions have been running high between myself and the "supervisor. I think she's been feeling quite threatened by me because I've been doing things like "making decisions" and "delegating work" (a total sin, I know). She hates this. Problem is, she's NEVER around and is completely incompetent even as a basic seceratary.
Anyway, us remaining three have been suspecting for a while that she would try and get rid of me. Only today was her first real attempt. She gave me a message that was on the phone, and I gave it to my co-worker because he works on those types of cases. She finds out, FREAKS, pulls me into my boss' office and tells me I'm "on notice" and have 1 week to change my attitude.
What the hell.
So I immediately called my boss (thankfully I had a big talk with him the day before about my worries) and I told him what just happened. I know they had a conversation on the phone but I'm not sure what happened after that, or what will happen.
So now I feel like I'm really left dangling. She's obviously going to try and convince him that I'm a terrible employee and she's trying to pin anything she can on me. I don't think he's stupid but I still don't know how this will all turn out.
I obviously want out of my job at this point but can't leave without having something else to go to... I live on my own and live paycheck to paycheck. I'm so *sweary word* off at all this, I find it unreal.
Sorry, I had to vent... any advice would be MUCH appreciated.
*Edited for spelling.
