I never have been able to understand how people like that keep their jobs. I’ve always felt that HR has never done enough to force people like that out of their positions and/or jobs. It’s people that make or break a job. People cause stress, not the job itself. People like her shouldn’t be employed.

It's definitely been.....interesting and it's gotten to the point that I regularly consider if it's worth upsetting her before making a decision about how to handle something. At the end of the day, it's just a job for me; it's not my life. I am going to do my work and go home.

She had another tantrum this week when her boss told her that I was going to be taking on some ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS. ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS. Who doesn't want to give up administrative tasks?!

My boss told me this is untenable - I said, I was going to use that word as well.

Short story - I'm job hunting... again. I hope I can find something internally but also a former boss of mine should be posting a position soon and she said I'm her first choice. I'm jumping at whatever opportunity presents itself first because this is bananas.

.... I work at a well known university with a prestigious reputation.
