It's really tough working in a place where one is not happy or at least work with nice ppl. It's terrible to have a job you just dread going to. I have had only 3 jobs in my working career. All private business in the food industry , one I was at for 25 years, Owner retire and business ended, another I worked there 20 years. All jobs I worked with all men, there were women in the company in other depts. And worked close with the owner. This last one was a nightmare lol, it was a small company, the office manager was the only DIVA, any female that came in she badgered them and they would leave. I was use to working in tough company's, with tough men and became tough, in the food industry business you gotta be tough lol. So when I joined this company changes had to be made. I sat down with the owner and told him what needed to be changed, he supported my changes, the "DIVA" went nuts lol as did the salesmen, inventory guy, warehouse supervisor and dispatcher. So the war was on lol. In a few months all saw my changes were for the best and the money was coming in, now I had the support of most, sales not so much lol, and never from the DIVA, she fought with me everyday and when I got my staff she fought with them. I do not back down and came into that company with "tough skin". I am / was a company woman, I had a mission for that company and I was going to complete it. It wasn't easy for me to go to work everyday knowing I would be fighting everyday ALL day but I was not going to be bullied out of that company by anyone. The more I stood up to her the madder she would get lol. My mission was completed, my changes were kept, there was now a staff of ppl that was needed to keep the money coming in, and it was time for me to leave. And that is just what I did, and left her hanging lol. I am no longer in touch with the dispatcher, he was on the verge of quitting after working there 15 years. I would LOVE to know if the DIVA survived when I left lol, I heard she was not holding up very well lol.

If your boss is not in a pvt closed off office, it would be nice if someone could be with or close to you when you have to deal with him. Since you had plans of this not being your forever job, do just what you were hired to do and nothing more. Stay as long as you can, remember, once you are gone you will never see this pig or the others ever again.
