[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 56639, member: 1991"] I had a boss like that once. Only it wasn't new staff appearing, it was old staff disappearing, and she would not answer my questions about what happened. But she'd had a pattern - she would always find ONE staff member to criticise, warn, nag etc and it was always that one who was gone next. So when I was the only one left she began to find fault with me (and I know I was doing a good job for her, I overheard her telling my agency over the phone that she wanted another person with my disability "because they're such good workers"). So I left. With a clear conscience. My doctor had told me to leave anyway, this woman was breaking the workplace agreement in terms of the hours I was permitted to work, and the conditions (such as 'no stairs' - yeah, right). Damaging my health for this woman was just not worth it. Lying for her also, just not worth it. Having to keep changing child care arrangements because she kept changing the days I worked - not worth it. All in all, as I rested at home and slowly recovered my strength, I felt I was well out of it. And to keep my brain occupied, I made some enquiries which took me into a totally different direction, career-wise. A very good thing. Marg [/QUOTE]
