    My boss is a hypocrite, no-know nothing bitch

    Gee, don't know where to start. I have known my supervisor for many years, but she has only been my supervisor for maybe 4 or 5. Since she became a supervisor, her whole attitude has change. Of course, in her eyes, it's me who is not the same, not producing the same anount of work. Well, hello you stupid bitch, I had back surgery not even a year ago and will never ever be the same again! I still have pain and some days are worse than others. Recently I had trouble with my jaw not opening (very painful). There were days I was in so much pain, all I could do was cry. Certainly I do not cry in front of our consumers, but other staff were aware of how bad I was feeling...they were supportive. My boss thinks I cry cuz I am unstable. Well, when I tell her that I am in pain, she sends me out to get supplies for a meeting. WTF! She does not listen. She does not care. I hate her so much that I wish her dead. She knows nothing about computers...I am very proficient. She now says I need more computer training. my recent evaluation sucked because of her. She and another supervisor recently fudged my time sheet. I was out due to a snow storm. They put on the timesheet that I was there. Then she tells me not to say anything to the CEO if she comes to the office. WTF!!?? You can best believe I will tell all when I fucking leave this place. She lies, cheats and is power hungry. I cannot tell her nothing. She's a very difficult person to work for, mostly because of the dishonesty. I am in a bad situation.

    Reply: Your boss must be related to my company's logistics manager and project manager. PM had me upgrade and test some sales terminals for the company's front-line staff and I found various errors, ex. wrong prices, spelling mistakes. I corrected them, then the computer crashed and I had to call IT to solve why spelling mistakes uploaded but prices didn't. The logistics manager, unknown to my manager and me, had also been doing terminal upgrades. She found out about the computer crash and that I'd redone her "work" (her spelling mistakes, her wrong prices) and flipped out at me. I wish I'd taken screenshots. I told her that I was only following orders from my manager....and she had the gall to deny ever, ever asking me to do any edits and upgrades! She blamed me for "misunderstanding" her. The logistics manager beyond pissed that I'd corrected her "perfect" work and now I have to undo everything I've done after IT restores the computer settings. When the place opens up at the end of the month, visitors will get receipts with spelling mistakes and get charged $25 for books that are marked as $15 on the price sticker. I'm so fed up over these two people over the past five years that it's gotten to the point that I don't care about how bad the economy is - I want out for my sanity and health. The nonsense and backstabbing of the PM and the LM's ineptness, negativity and meanness is affecting my mood and my health (lack of sleep, dreading going to work that is so bad I get stomach aches).
