I have a boss that when she does not like you...watch out. Every little thing you do she watches and if you make a mistake she is right there to tell you. She has her favorites and they go and tattle to her all the time. I am the asst. manager and she treats me like a piece of ____ (fill in the blank). I have been at this place for 6 years and she has been there 2 1/2 years. She does not have a clue what she is doing. Just to listen to talk is annoying. She is now trying to dig things up on me...her little tattle tailer goes to complaining about stupid things. Then I get in trouble. She nevers stands behind my desicions with the employee's. So since this tattle tail doesn't like some way I would like something done...I have to change it. I have gone to my bosses boss but he has not done anything. So then I went higher and so far nothing...next will be HR.

I am in the same boat as paininthe--My male boss is a micromanaging bully who refuses to acknowledge that the younger boys ( I am a 52 year old female) slack off and do precious little while I do the grunt work 45 hours a week. The last time we had a disagreement, he screamed at me and pounded his fist into his hand. I am waiting for his boss to get back from vacation and am considering going to the top CEO and retaining a labor lawyer if necessary. If I did this to a fellow employee I would be reprimanded or worse. There are more like me who have suffered from his behavior, but we need our jobs.
