And I was accused of something last night I didn't do so I'm going to HR this morning with proof (IM's do work 2 ways, I have a copy of them too). My manager is making the work environment so hostile.

She is setting traps and she is overriding what I say out loud in meetings and then writing me up because I don't speak up enough in meetings. It's a no win situation.

Just 6 months ago I got an outstanding review so something is up.

I'm so sorry. It sounds awful.

Oh wow so sorry to hear that Rose. Sounds like going to HR is a good move though, make it official.

mimipal: it is - I really care about the job I do and they knew when they hired me my expertise was in security and they said no problem they'd train me. To date I've not been to one single training class.

I've spent weekends and nights trying to learn what I have to and I'm living on antacids.

Nefarious workplace BS is so very tiresome.

Lippmann: yup - I can wait to retire, seriously then I'm going to work on what I want to when I want to. Contract stuff but right now I hold a sign saying "Will work for health insurance"

Oh, Rose, so sorry to hear this happening to you. I get the part about health insurance. Having to fight your manager every day is a nightmare.

I'm so sorry.

Ugh I had a job where my boss made me miserable. She accused me once of keeping a spy log of her comings and goings, but it was a food diet journal. I'm so sorry you're going through that.

Christ I'm sorry Rose. I hope you can cut this bullshit off at the pass.

I spoke with HR and they were pretty nice but who knows - I'm not sorry I took the job I got some GREAT experience but OMG the politics here are horrid.

I started crying talking to the HR person and that's whenI realized how upset I actually was.

I couldn't stop myself.

oh my so sorry you are going through this Hope things get better soon

Hope you get some relief
