I sure hope there is a drastic change soon for your sake. Making a living is a lot easier than people like to think. You might need to make some changes elsewhere so you can tell the "powers that be" to kiss your lovely ass while you sashay out the door.

This reads like a Rube Goldberg machine of office politics. <br />I admire the fact that you still have a sense of humour after all this administrative warfare and when not feeling really sorry for you, I was tittering behind my hand. <br /><br />Glad you were interested enough in 'Musicophilia' to get it!

Worked for 10 years...I endured a similar situation. Worked for 10 years and everyone loved me (private company) and then the Daughter came to work there. All down hill from there. It took me about three years of her ignorant behavior to decide, but I finally figured out a way to take early retirement and now I can laugh, especially when I learned that she ran the company into the ground and they had to sell. She and her family have been booted out of the business, not allowed to even come on the premises, because the folks that bought it, knew and remembered how we were treated. As my mom used to say, "you reap what you sew".
