There is no HR dept/ and she is the owner's wife. Amyrlin Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 04:37:09 PM
There is a bully in my office. She doesn't answer to anyone, so she of course gets away with it.

Aside from quitting, is there any recourse?



When I talk to the owner, he says "you'll have to talk to her about this."

I really think the only option is to quit. Luckily for me, I live in the worst economy in the US.

How does she not answer to anyone? Is she the manager? *NM* Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 05:37:52 AM 403 Views

Hrm. Whether there's recourse or not depends on whether you're supported by management Sareitha Sedai - 16/11/2010 04:14:20 PM 928 Views

...have you tried talking with her about it, or are you just assuming it will go poorly? *NM* LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 05:03:18 PM 450 Views
