I work in a hostile environment with bullying and harassment. The really sad part is that I work in a daycare with toddlers. I am one of two assistants and our classroom lead is a major bully with control issues. She claims she has OCD and jokes about it often. I really don't find it funny and get tired of her insults and complaints.
On the bright side, we have a behavioral specialist who is very sweet and she has talked to me and helped me so much. I don't know what I would do without her to lean on. I go home daily with headaches and on the verge of tears. I am good at what I do and the children mean the world to me. My room lead, on the other hand, thinks I do nothing right and reminds me daily.
I am fed up and don't know where to turn.
