[QUOTE="soberups, post: 839745, member: 14668"] The key is to mentally turn the situation around 180 degrees. You can [I]choose[/I] to feel beat down and victimized by the harassment....or instead you can choose to feel [I]sorry[/I] for the frightened, pathetic little man with the clipboard who is so desperate to justify his [I]own[/I] job that he must find ( or invent) things about [I]your[/I] job to complain about. 23 years ago I had an on-car sup confront me about my "overallowed" problem. He took me aside, got in my face, and told me that if I wasnt "running scratch" by the end of the week he would fire me. I was new and young and naive, and his threats intimidated me enough that I knuckled under and skipped my lunch and breaks...which was his entire goal in the first place. This particular supervisor wound up getting fired a few years back on a trumped-up charge of dishonesty. He was 54 years old and only about 8 months away from being eligible for his full pension and company-paid medical benefits when they whacked him. These people shoot their wounded and eat their young. Guess what---I'm still here.:happy-very: [/QUOTE]
