Pat, your boss sounds like a bona fide dickhead. Pardon my french.

I hope this isn't me being insensitive again, but this statement really surprised me:

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
...keeping your self esteem intact at that place is a daily struggle....

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

I don't understand why YOUR self esteem would suffer when the problem is clearly HIS attitude? Why wouldn't you see ANY statement out of his mouth as saying everything about him, and nothing about the recipient of his comments?

( pat )

Love,
LMo
