[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 300042, member: 1991"] Sometimes that's what we need. You sound like a darn good worker who's hooked into a rut and not valued for what you can do. Right now I'm feeling the same - stuff has happened since I posted and I SHOULD be going to bed right now, but I'm too angry. I volunteered for a newly established local charity working for children's literacy, and Ive found we're being increasingly micromanaged by someone who doesn't know very much but refuses to use the valuable knowledge in the heads of us old hands. Tonight I've had clear evidence that my expertise is not only not recognised, it's not valued. We were rushed in a crisis so I took it on myself to plug a hole by using my contacts and past experience - and I find this person who doesn't know what she's doing, has basically told me to get back in my box and stop interfering while she fixes it - at a cost. I offered my not inconsiderable services for free, and we don't know any of the people she's talking about bringing in, we don't know if they have any experience or capability. Grrr... I never thought I would need to take my own advice so soon! At least you know your own worth. Your boss sounds like an ass. He definitely is taking you for granted. A suggestion - if you get another job offer, let your boss know, see if he tries to engage in a bidding war for your services. Imply to him you've been headhunted. I would love to know his reaction!
