I am so sorry that you had to endure this type of treatment! It is awful. I also had the same type thing happen 4 yrs ago. I made myself a vow that I wold be there 1 day longer than the old witch. I was. Then I went ahead & quit. My coworkers had heard & seen enough that I did not want to be there any longer. I think you will feel much better now. I know I did & do. :thumbup: No amt. of pay is worth being abused. So I am proud of your decision. Now think of all the wonderful quilty things you can do. And do them happily. :wink:

Good Luck to you .... now breath !! :)

Yay!! good for you, Nothing is worth THAT aggravation.. Karma is a B.... what goes around comes around..

Then you have wonder, what miserable thing is goin on in her life that she needs to make other lives so miserable too..

Good for you so sad for her...

What is the deal with bosses like that? I must be very blessed to have pretty dang nice bosses. They have quirks, but then again, I am loaded with quirks, so we do just fine. We are a large department and the stress is huge at times, but it is fun to go to work, and we feel appreciated for our work.
Sometimes I think that insecure people who gain management positions are the worst supervisors. It's like they project all their shortcomings onto everyone who works for them. And then you're in danger of making your eyes stuck in the back of your head from rolling them so much... and then your mother would have been right :):)

So glad you had the strength to say 'stick it' otherwise it would have made you ill, good for you sticking up for yourself, there are too may bullies in position of power and it goes to their heads, it's a sign of weakness really, they make you look bad to make themsleves look good. My husband had a nevous breakdown some years ago, through the same kind of thing really, and was off work for a couple of years, but shortly after he left the job we heard that his tyrant of a boss had a heart attack, God is watching and knows what goes on, thankfully my husband is now fully recovered and running his own company, don't ever give up hope, have some time off and a rest and you will be ready to get back into work again.
God Bless, enjoy your life don't let others spoil it. :)

A wise person once told me that in a crisis, most people will do the heroic thing and act morally. But if you want to see someone's true character, give them some kind of power. As it turns out, not only children are bullies. Fortunately, as adults we are more able to stand up for ourselves than children are.

I was in the exact situation. My boss would purposefully not give you all the information you needed to do something-then throw you under the bus when it was wrong. I hated every day. My DH said the same thing.
I quit and took a little destressing time. Although I took a huge paycut I now work with great people and enjoy my job alot. I wish you good luck and just relax!!! :D

I'm really happy for you. As the others said no amount of money is worth your health and happiness.

But isn't it such a shame that it just continues and another person receives the abuse once you leave. My boss was a wimp at home and I think that's why we all had to put up with the lady witch...ahem. He could have solved everyone's misery by speaking to her. We did have one little woman who would stand up to witchypoo and they had some good exchanges that were embarassing to witness. But good to see someone stand up to the tyrant. This same lady tyrant gets all gushy nice when I see her now. I've learned to let it go so I'm no longer bitter about it all, but I still have no respect for our boss because he protected that woman by letting it all slide. Shame on him.

Sometimes the load just gets too heavy to bear.
I did the same thing once,
I had no $$$, no job, & live alone, but it
is something that needed to be done.

GOOD FOR YOU.
