[QUOTE="Tired Mom, post: 649221, member: 18222"] Hi stressed Mama - My husband did talk to a head hunter the other day. The head hunter had independently contacted my husband about a job he had but it really was to low of a level for my husband but my husband asked him to keep him in mind. For today he still has a job and he's keeping his eyes open. Of course when it rains it pours. An issue came up today at my job that really is the fault of several people but everybody is trying to protect themselves and I can tell that some people think there best bet would be to blame me. I am worried because I think it might be used as an excuse to fire me. It is a long story but our former director and current director are sworn enemies and the current director makes crazy comments that we are protecting our old boss and you can tell that he doesn't trust and me and the one other employee who didn't leave when he took over. If I didn't witness myself I wouldn't believe how crazy my work environment is. It is widely known at the University how abusive our current director is but because he is one of top 3 people at the University in bringing in grant money he has carte blanche to do whatever he wants. There have been lawsuits for abuse that University has paid off. I have been in a meeting with President of University financial advisor and without me saying anything about our environment the person started telling me that they knew what a terrible work environment I was in and that I should get a tape recorder to protect myself. About 4 weeks ago my direct boss was ready to go Human resources with me and another employee and demand that we be moved. She talked to our director and he changed a little so she didn't have us act on it. Sigh it feels like everything is sort of swirling out of control. Must take each day one day at a time. Really it would be good to leave my current job but with difficult child issues and now my husbands worries about his job the timing is really bad. On a positive note yesterday difficult child and his counselor called and of course she was thrilled that he finally found a job. It also came up that the owner of the halfway house wants to make difficult child the house manager when the current one leaves. I want to be happy for him about that since it means half price rent but depending on what the responsibilities of the house manager are I would think it would be difficult for difficult child because of his social skills. difficult child really needs as much money as he can make and it was a little troubling that the job posting had said that the hours would be 11:30 to 2:30 buy he was already home at 2:20. difficult child is happy in his halfway house and yesterday indicated he would like to stay there as long as possible. The longest he can continue with the center he goes to for counseling is May but the counselor said the half way house is separate from the center.
