I'm trying the "kill them with kindness" with the bosses and a few others.

In the meantime I am going through with my plans to file one helluva grievance procedure. I had enough against them to do it Christmas two years ago. I didn't want to get a reputation as a complaining teacher. Now I have nothing to lose. Do not fear or worry: I have a plan and it is legal, moral, and ethical. But I'm not taking the crap anymore.

What I don't get is this: These two guys really don't know me that well. What they have done and said and the lies they have fabricated against me would have driven another person over the edge long ago. I was actually a nervous wreck last June. Fortunately for me and also for others I'm not a suicidal or violent personality. But they don't really know that. Or didn't when they started this crusade of theirs. Do they not care about possible consequences? This crap is sometimes what causes people to flip.

I don't get how they could do this and look themselves in the mirror?
It's always the same Anne, like I said before, no matter where one works, there is always an idiot or two to spoil the day. Even being self employed I regularly came across people who I had to deal with who were just plain idiots. I guess being self employed gave me the advantage to extend my middle finger and tell them to get lost, but unfortunately, when ya get rid of one, there's always another that comes along.
It's a shame tho, that the people you are dealing with are in your workplace. Where you must be to earn a living and carry on with your career...it takes the fun out of the day...eh ???
I don't know what it is with these creatures, whether they just like to exert their will on people just for the power buzz, or whether they just do it for fun to feed their malicious streak.
I know there are pressures in the work place, stress, having to work with others all day etc etc.....but intelligent people make things work, and at least try and get along.
Perhaps you could buy those two guys lunch one day, just as a nice guesture.
A small packet of hay doesn't cost much, and goats really do enjoy that.
