[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 308613, member: 1991"] Star, follow up your meeting with a written confirmation for him. "Dear boss, just to confirm that I got the gist of our meeting today down correctly. You said X, I responded with Z. having given due consideration to the outcome of our meeting (in terms of both what you told me, and what I beleive is the situation) I propose the following:..." Then list your suggestion that you will work for only 15 hours, for two trial weeks. No taking work home, no helping anybody else (all of which takes up your expensive time). You will record everything you do (keeping a detailed work diary - THAT can be kept at your desk, just don't keep a work copy of your 'paranoid concerns') and if he has any suggested changes to make to this, to let you know, preferably in writing. A short informal note will suffice. The outcome of your meeting - his concerns with you were not resolved. He made statements, you disagree. However, if he is correct then shutting yourself back to 15 hours presence i nthe office should prove his case, especially if you make yourself completely available ONLY for your work and nobody else's, during this time. Of course this means no cleaning the toilets or staffroom unless he specifically asks or it's specifically in your duties. Every task you do, keep a time sheet. "9.01 to 9.17 - did worksheet payrolls. 9.18 to 10 am, made up accounts to be sent out, printed accounts, printed addressed envelopes, filled envelopes and stamped them. 10.01 to 10.15, took outgoing mail to post office and returned." You get the drift. He can't ask you to do this, not without it looking really bad for him. But if YOU choose to do this, and if it proves what you already know - that if you walk out after 15 hours and your work is not done and could not have been, it WILL cause inconvenience. You do not want this to play into the hands of nutter and sidekick. If after all this you find your hours actually cut back to 15 hours, then go find yourself another part-time job. Do you really WANT to be this donkey's PA? And if the expert told you stuff, is there a chance she either told something to the others, or maybe a copy of her report got seen by one or both of them? If I were them, it would be enough to make ME paranoid about MY job. What your boss is doing could constitute workplace bullying. Make enquiries. Marg [/QUOTE]
