I am now fighting depression over this issue with my boss. It's Christmas, and I am fighting depression yet again in my life during the holidays.

I am very scared and worried that my boss will learn I spoke with her boss about the issues. I am worried about retaliation.

I wish my boss would just get fired. She is so awful and deserves it. I wonder if other people have complained about her during her 21 years of employment with the company. Someone has had to have complained - it cannot just be me who has experienced her bullying or been at the brunt of her hostilities.

It is so very hard not to let this issue eat me up. It is eating me up - it's poison to my whole body, and it's seeped in.

How do I survive at work?
