Just received an email from my boss

I'm happy to hear you still have your job. How awful to have to be so vigilant in watching your back. If anyone gets fired, I hope it is him. But wouldn't it be wonderful if he could just change his attitude? I wonder if he realizes he is only making it harder for himself, in addition to you.

I am glad to hear that you still have your job, but I am sorry to hear that your boss is not being nice to you at all. I hope your Plan B works out for you just in case.

Probably everybody should be in this economy. And now I'd better get working...

My fiance and I are jobless, so no we're not concerned with losing our job.. to be fair, we're not concerned with getting one the way the economy is. I hope you don't lose your job though!

I have lost my job, since June of 2008. Last year, I had a very good relationship with my manager. I was out of work for three days in February with the flu. I called her everyday to give an update on how I was coming along. I actually went back to work sick, because I knew that a lot of things needed to get done. When I came back she was very cold towards me, I couldn't figure out why. then I realized that she must have gotten into trouble for something she told me to do, which shouldn't have been done the way she told me. then she started trying to cover up her error, by blaming me for everything that went wrong. I was on my guard about my job, and would write down everything she told me to do. That did not help because she started blowing off, what I had documented by saying, it should be done this way not that. Well eventually, she got her way, and I was laid off. She said she was sorry that there were no other open positions in the department that I could fill and that my position was going back to the person who had it before I came. Yeah, these people will do anything to move someone that they do not care for out of the workplace. I was a great worker and always completed my assignments on time, but it always depends on who likes who, back stabbing still exists in the workplace.

Now,you and me should work hard to be lost workings.

I do know that life is way too short to put up with the kind of B.S. that you have mentioned here, all for the name of your job. I would be working on a Plan B also, another job and say Bye Bye to this one. It is good to keep alert and know what is being said and when at any job but to me this sounds like you are having to keep track so to cover your own because of a bad boss. That's no fun. Been there done that. It sucks. How can we go to work each day, everyday with that sort of tension? One door closes and another opens. I wish you well in 2009!

good for you at least you still have your job, no I am not working now, I haven't worked since 2005. I am no longer physically capable of working and my boyfriend has come to that point too and he is going is in the process of applying for disability.

Hi Cynthiann, I didn't relise you were not going to be present but knew you would find out on Thursday so its great that you have managed to keep your job. It is sad that this one individual at work is making your life so difficult but covering yourself by replying to all and listing everything is a great idea. Thank you for letting us know. Huggles. Ellie :D

Now I have been in college for three years, and the following year I will graduate, but I am really wonder whether I can find the ideal job. Because the economy circumstance is not very good now, I am really very worried about this. Maybe I need to go on graduate study.

u hang in there w/him & don't let him get by w/all that bull. what goes around comes around, i believe. good luck.

Hey cynthiann~ I am so glad to hear that he wasn't able to get this way! It serves him right for being such a moron! Who does he think that he is? The Board Members didn't let him get away with thinking that he could just do what he wanted to! So that just proves that he doesn't have as much power as he thought he does! Good! I'll bet he is even angrier now! Don't let him get to you and just continue to be very careful around him! Like your plan says, document everything and watch your back at all times! It's too bad that you have to do this! I know how horrible it is to be treated like this because I have had the same thing done to me! And it has nothing to do with how you do your job which makes it even worse!~

Job is required for a person like me because i got this job with a great difficulty and struggle i think it is difficult for me to get job elsewhere so i have to see that my manager will not fire me out. What to do i have a great need for the job and can't imagine how the like will be without this job. I economic crisis is also like this only the same.

This economy is awful... something I wasn't exposed to. That is of course until I quit my job after my employer attacked my character. That was in November. It's now 2009 and still nothing. I've even tried and find something below my qualifications and still, nothing. My advice, when you have a co-worker, or superior who has a distaste for you... he eventually will get his way - so I would begin looking for a Plan B job. Good luck!

That's good news! I'm glad to hear that it appears like you still have your job. Good luck!

I'd say your boss is not a happy camper. Yes, you should keep records of everything. Like dawnald said, in this economy everyone should be worried about their job. Makes me glad I am retired
