[QUOTE="Lil, post: 695060, member: 17309"] Well I've missed a bit here. I see this whole work situation very differently. I read your words and you are saying, "I'm weak. They hurt me. I have no power. I can do nothing." But maybe you should consider this, YOU have ALL the power here. Copa, this is a job...not your life. After you leave, they'll hire someone else. I've been in the same job TWENTY TWO years! If I left tomorrow...they'd hire someone else. In time, there would likely be no one who even remembers me. At best, they'd see my name on a paper and say, "Oh hey! I remember her! She worked here a long time!" But I won't know and I won't CARE. Sure, in the years we've lost people and I still miss a couple of them. But we've lost others that I can't even remember their names! MY LIFE - my family and friends outside of work - they will remember me. So, they can fire you. So what? It is NOT weak to stand up and say, "Treat me like a professional, with courtesy, or I walk." It is NOT weak to [I]demand[/I] to be treated with respect. It is NOT weak to [I]refuse[/I] to be bullied. It's a JOB. A job is what you DO. It isn't WHO YOU ARE. Personally, if all the stuff you've said happened to me, after that last incident, unless I was desperate for money, I'd have told the young bully boss to blow it out his rear end, got my purse and walked. That's not weakness...it's standing up for yourself. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
