While the dreams/nightmare can cause me a mini panic attack - it is almost worth that great feeling when you wake up! I'm with you easyrider.

So true easysurfer! I will admit that I have had many dreams/nightmares about work. Always in yet another meeting trying to argue some sense into others. Not a good dream, but a great feeling when I wake up and know that I don't have to do that any more. Loving it!

Time for an update... I "retired" on Oct. 26th. I gave a two weeks notice and am glad that I didn't give any longer. My boss was unkind with how he treated me during those weeks. He felt that I did not appreciate that I had a "good" job and how dare I walk away from all that the company had...

Fully agree - if the aggravation gets to be too much and does not out weigh the benefits of the bonus, I'm out of there. I have been on vacation this week and return to work on Monday. This week will tell me alot.

vodka and breathe mints - I like it!! I've got the list together - now it just need to work through everything. Thank you both for the tips!

okay - it has been a while since I last posted. As I noted earlier, I had plans in place to leave my job in September due to a very unhealthly job situation. About 6 weeks ago I found out that a position was available with my current company in the state that I planned to move. The position was...

Only 22 more Monday's to go!!

Bestwifeever - thanks for the comments. Part of the attitude change is due to the fact that the VP is our of the country until the end of next week. Check back then to see how I am doing! Actually, the more I get a plan in place to make this happen the better I feel. I don't have to wait until...

Great call on the notice time line. If I give notice and they come up with a reason to fire with cause - out goes the annual bonus and the Long term Incentive. As for the Long Term Incentive- by the end of July, I will meet the 1 year minimum since this program went into effect. I am not full...

So, today I contacted our compensation department to get some of the details on early retirement without asking about early retirement! Good news is that I qualify for an offical early retirement for a Long Term Incentive Plan that the company has available. It was an age plus years of...

Are you looking to get out as well? Like you, I thought I could out last it all. The collateral damage this one person is causing is amazing. I'm not the only one looking to get out of my department. Most people have just shut down and trying to stay out of the line of fire.

WOW! Thanks everyone for all of the advice. The VP is out of the office for 10 days on a trip to China - so much better in the office, but the emails keep coming! I was asked by the SVP to put together a process to solve an issue that we have been dealing with for a while that directly involves...

Hi Everyone - I am currently in a bad job situation and could use some advice. At the ripe age of 50 and after 18 years of employement at the same company, I find myself dealing with very poor management and a total avoidance from upper management to address ongoing conflicts from one...
