I agree with Fizzbw - she sounds insecure to me. She's bullying you because she feels threatened by you because you've been there a while and have all the knowledge and she doesn't.

Good luck with your application. I hope it works out for you.

Congrats!
i know you will be one super happy person when you turn your notice in. Just dont laugh too hard when she asked you why you are leaving

Hurray. I can just picture you handing in your notice and endeavouring not to llok too delighted about it. Roll on the next 2 weeks. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What great news. Best of luck with everything.

Good for you. I am so happy that you got the new job. The best part of turning your letter in will be if your supervisor is surprised, which would not surprise me. Also, the advantage of working for someone who is impossible, is that the odds are great that your new supervisor will never be as bad. And new opportunities will be there now. I left a job with a supervisor who thought he was making progress in training you if you left the workplace (a psych hospital no less) in tears. I went back to school, switched fields and never had another supervisor who I could not tolerate because I knew how bad it could be and it never got that bad again. It also relocated me and I met my husband at my new workplace, so sometimes when I look back I realize that much of what happened positively was because I made the decision to make the change. It will be better. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many congratulations for taking this courageous step -- it's hard to move outside the comfort zone, even when it's become very uncomfortable.

Once you are safely in the new job, is it possible for you to "share" this experience with your supervisor's line manager in a business-like way? I would guess that she will pick on someone else, once you are gone, and the company ought to be aware right from the start and perhaps be able to stop this pattern of behaviour in its tracks. Just a thought.

Well done on a brave move. I wonder if she was asked for a reference for you? She may be just as glad to see the back of you as you will be to be away from her. My suggestion would be to only give her as much information about how to do your job as you have to and let her find out the hard way how much you actually do. Unless you have to train your replacement.....it wouldn't be fair for them to be caught in the crossfire.

My hope is that you take her by surprise with your notice and can stay smiling until the last minute. Either way, you are the winner.

Best wishes going forward.

Good on you Lori O for being brave enough to make the move! I wish you the very best in your new job & I'm sure we're all itching to know the reaction when you tell her you're leaving. Just don't laugh too hard Again, good on you & don't ever let anyone treat you like that again. I learned that lesson from the way a relative treated me. Warmest regards, Pippa.

Many congratulations on the new job I think we're only wishing that you could film your supervisor's reaction, but we'll settle for a detailed account Those two weeks will go really quickly and hope you enjoy the new position.

Well done, you must have really impressed to hire outside the company.
You did do the right thing, staying there would end up giving you ulcers, stress can cause a lot of problems and working with a Byach like that would not be a peasant way to live.

Many congratulations on the new job . This sounds like it's going to be a good move for you.

Sounds like you have all the bases covered, and are being responsible towards all. Exactly the sort of self-starting and thoughtful employee most companies would go a very long way to keep sweet.

Way to go! Your empowerment has certainly paid off!!!
