I know from personal experience that's she manipulative since when my department supervisor wouldn't allow my position to move to her department she created a new position to get what she could of my job. She's managed to get most of it, too. She's trying to get the rest by being as difficult as she can about it. What I hate about manipulative people like her is that you can't prove what she's done. She comes across as in control and "sweet". If that makes sense.


It's really taking it's toll on me. Everything little thing that isn't even necessarily related to her is driving me nuts. Because she has no leadership skills everyone is running amok and then they start questing me as to why something happened. It's hard to deal with.


I feel like walking out, but I think that would be really stupid on my part. I want to quit and find another job, but every time I try there is something inside that tells me to wait.


I'm writing right now because I just want to bawl my eyes out about the work situation. I guess I'm being overly sensitive. I know people probably have worse situations at work than me, but it's rough. It's really rough.


I don’t think you’re being overly sensitive. When you accepted the job did you have an idea of how you wanted to work there? Has that amount of time elapsed? Did you define goals for yourself in the beginning? Have you achieved them?
