What worked for me was identifying what type of person she is - a control freak - and then playing her at her weakness by leaving her out of anything social/fun/pleasant and only being very businesslike. She's still a bitch but wow did it work in making her bully me less. I don't like playing the games - but I prefer it to being bulliedPeridothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366949232240654169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516633709490949228.post-26332988481724471052011-06-06T21:38:48.964-04:002011-06-06T21:38:48.964-04:00I would say a lot does have to do with what option...I would say a lot does have to do with what options are available to you. Toxic environments and people are really not worth being around. Maybe some of the gall bladder stuff was brought to a head by the toxic environment. And goodness knows that if it is driving you to eat, then you need to find a better option. No job is worth your health.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781375451012608773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516633709490949228.post-69486157821121148192011-06-06T20:15:47.313-04:002011-06-06T20:15:47.313-04:00Wish you the best in this situationWish you the best in this situationRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790820856641701122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516633709490949228.post-17027331873312281492011-06-06T20:14:36.546-04:002011-06-06T20:14:36.546-04:00I have a very similar situation at work...I do a l...I have a very similar situation at work...I do a lot of namaste-ing and I often think about how unpleasant it must be to be this person and have no one like or respect them. <br /><br />I also did the math and I spend four days = 34 hours (not including lunches and breaks) at work and 134 hours a week away from work.<br /><br />I guess it depends on your options. I am not willing to leave my four day work week, extended time off in the summer + four weeks of vacation because of this person.<br /><br />If you have other options and can leave...then yahooooo!!! The danger is toxic people are everywhere...<br /><br />Sorry you are feeling stressed! Hugs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
