    Any kind of comment that implies you need to start looking for another job. That's one. You need to write down the comment verbatim, time of day and who was present. Best advice on this is that do not answer back.

    There's an old saying Don't get mad.........get even. Make this your mantra.

    Unfortunately unless your working in the Corporate world, constructive dismissal is hard to prove. If she wants you gone she will just wear you down. The sort of "Passive aggressive" approach.

    I agree with other posts . Your in the best positon now, looking for another job while you still have one. Then leave without burning your bridges.

    Karma works both ways.

    I think you may be getting fixated on crotch kicking....

    loads of copies of emails

    evidence of deliberate witholding of information required to perform your job

    a copy of the invoice from employment lawyers when he had spend 40 minutes discussing my objections to a new employment contract when he had refused to discuss the same objections with myself

    A copy of my job spec and emails confirming that he had without consultation removed responsibilities from me

    I had already previously filed a personal greivance claim to which they had replied in writing with a white wash reply which had a lawyer doubled up on the floor with laughter

    constructive dismissal is very hard for employers to defend and if an employee has a bonefide grudge they can given time construct a very convincing case, my neighbour was a union employment lawyer and I had excellent advice

    crowning glory of the evidence was a general staff meeting when a new organisation chart was shown to all employees and my position had be reclassified at a lower level - the boss was a total plonker and left himself wide open

    we cant really coment on said low cut top unless we se a photo you know

    I've always been good at not giving a stuff, had problems with bosses and co-workers in the past but never stressed over it, as long as i do my job, and I know I'm doing it well then they can self destruct themselves all they like, because it WILL come back to bite them in the ass.

    Employers are great for changing responsibilities without asking for permission aren't they?

    I recently got given the task of creating a SharePoint site definition for a client (it's basically a template that determines what is included when a new site is created). I'd never created a site definition before and I also wasn't familar with packaging/deploying Features using Visual Studio.

    Naturally my boss only gave me a few weeks to complete the task. OK, I've managed to figure most of it out but that's due to my own intelligence and perseverance. My boss certainly did nothing to help other than bitch and whinge about how she couldn't understand why it is so difficult!

    Why do they lay on the pressure for things we've never done before? My job title is "Business Analyst" so using Visual Studio obviously falls outside of that!

    Nooo....just wrried that it might be affecting your delicate sensibilities...

    From the sounds of it she definitely deserves it, but we don't want her having any reason to call the on Moto Girl!

    Maybe some phantom biker could rark into her office, give the biatch a swift boot in the nether regions and ride off into the sunset?

    Good idea but you'll have to bring your bike in the lift to the 5th floor of the building!

    Yes, yes it does. That's a Software Engineer's job, or fringe sysadmin.
