[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571975, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I am so sorry. I know how much you loved your job. If HR person can talk head honcho into a change, then insist on a raise. You will need it to put up with the driver and she will do ALL she can to get you fired again. I wonder if she has something on the honcho or just threatened to sue if they kept you on her bus. she had to know she didn't intimidate you, and that you know all the stuff she does that is wrong/illegal/against policy. So she was likely afraid you would tell on her, and decided to strike first. Idiots do things like this. THe first few days are the worst.
