What to do

[Lainy]

I am so glad that I have a job. I have a job that I enjoy. I do work that is meaningful and satisfying. I love my work, I love the facility that employs me. I have a completely adequate income. I am not wealthy, but I don't have to worry about how to pay my bills. Is it too much to ask that I have a decent, fair, reasonable, and sane boss? I used to think she was the best boss ever, but I have come to realize that she is far more interested in maintaining a friendship with one employee than managing her department fairly and in an unbiased manner. I'm over it. I need a new boss, and failing in that, I need a new job. I can't see myself working for someone so biased, and so blind to the reality of work life that every word out of the mouth of her friend is automatically deemed as the facts, even if there are 1 to 9 other employees with a contradicting explanation. What to do? What to do? Need a new boss. Love my job.

Lainy, I see this situation so often. I actually had a similiar conversation with a coworker about her supervisor today. I think that folks have lost the art of building coalition and a supportive environment for the team as opposed to satisfying the individual need to be divisive. ....Ketch more bee with honey, honey! yeah, Love the job. I pray for the best for you in that place.

i am sorry your work situation is so challenging, i had a similar situation at work once lainy, it is so undermining to a pleasant, efficient, and productive work environment, my solution was to work an opposite shift, he worked the day shift, i chose to work the p.m. shift, which suited my circadian rythmn much more that starting at 7 a.m.

Lainy, I'm listening. I can think of nothing to say that would help, but I'm listening.
