Well, actually my previous BOSS didn’t depress me as much as your, relate to the way you descript her like “an emotional knife held at the back of my neck”. I think the difference between us is the attitude on it. OPEN EYES was right, there must be some ways to overcome this kind of person, for me, it’s not too hard. In fact, my BOSS is a poor woman, divorced twice and has no children. Someone like her would never have happiness unless overcoming her owned emotional issues. I kept it in mind whenever she snarled at me, it made me feel better. Oftentimes, I found some excuses to get away from her, like “urgent call”, “work piled up on my desk”, something like that. I would even say no to her if I was not in the noon. Keeping 99.9% personal opinion is too difficult to me, you are doing great but sometimes that would make you depressed.
