I'm very nervous about escalating this. For one, I'm concerned that in my current state that I'm being over-sensitive and am taking things the wrong way. I also tend to forget some of the things that are said because my anxiety level is so high during the meetings so I have a hard time describing what happened. That's what happened with my meeting with my old boss a few weeks ago. I was able to let him know that he (my new boss) was stressing me out, was able to give a few examples and that I had a bad feeling about it. That was really before it got worse though.

I do know that he had major problems in our systems department. He had one person on his team and another that he had part time for a big project. I was also on this project (but I work in Marketing). The one (lets call him Joe) person he spread lies about, and he took it to his supervisor, they had a meeting and Joe was able to prove through documentation that he had NOT lied. Then a couple months later the guy that worked directly for him (lets call him Jim) went to his supervisor and told him, "It's him or me." That's when he got moved to Marketing. I have had some conversations with "Joe" in the last few weeks and he's been very supportive and he's aware of what's going on. Jim also has my back and then within my division, I have two co-workers who have been very supportive. I'm not sure I can trust my old boss. I think I just need to deal with it and let my co-workers and systems friends, do what they can. All of them are AVP's so have a little bit of power, while I have none. They are aware of the fact that he has pulled me off of hot projects to do his work for him, and it's impacting their projects either directly or indirectly. Sooner or later one of them is going to escalate it.
