yes, this rings a bitter bell...(add to the scenario the fact that as a single woman you've made it clear that you have NO interest in dating the boss)
here is (4)...the boss leaves for another position (finally) & leaves the board with the recommendation to the board that everyone but YOU (with a remarkable & documentable track record) receive the long debated recommended retirement plan (which would have taken away from his profit/loss statement so he never implemented the plan until he was gone)... the good news? you stuck it out & the HR person knows this is BS (harrassment & all...before sexual harrassment was even a word) but you stayed because you had no choice & maybe you felt that somehow you might get something better...somehow...then...miracles of miracles...he left & his reputation as being slimely & unethical came out & some influential folks finally echoed that... the restults? not only did you get that retirement plan but you got that promotion that you deserved & wanted... the lesson i learned so profoundly here was that if you really want it, you can have it...just when i thought that the liars & cheaters may have inherited the earth...i found out that karma really does work...(a good lesson to remember at the present moment) so...jim, i really know what you are going through...if its not at all what you want & you can leave...go...but if there is something there that you want, stay...the power structure may change in your favor... >>Hi all- This sort of situation that happened to you Jim is all too prevalent in today's work force. If a person is at all innovative and an efficient, hard worker BUT holds opinions WELL! heaven forbid if you speak up! Tactics of intimidation are used in the forms of (1) no pay raise (2) taking your work responsibilities away from you and (3) situations such as Jim described.<< ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Over the Moon "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
