Believe it or not they have books out on how to deal with these people. If you look it up on the internet there is quite a bit of information. I think just knowing there are people out here that know what you are going thru should help some. I had a supervisor for the last 3 1/2 years that I would consider was a bully ( many others I worked with would agree ) . She was a non medical supervisor with no degree. no knowlege of what she was talking about, and didn't really care much about taking care of the families we were working with. In the end though there was no solution. I finally had to file a grievance against her and one month later my position was eliminated. This was a federal program and i had just gone thru a federal review with a perfect score. These people are pros at protecting themselves and usually get away with it. I found that although everyone that I worked with complained about the situation when it came down to it they were too afraid of losing their jobs to do anything. I never did read any of the books about how to deal with Bullies but maybe that would help you. I do know that if you decide to try to take action be prepared to go it alone, people are just too afraid. Another thing you could do is keep a journal of what comes up during each shift and that could help potect you if there is ever any issue brought up by the Bully against you. Good Luck stay strong .:kiss

You should be able to contact EEOC a federal agency in your State and report retaliation for riling a grievance If you reported illegal requests made by your supervisor that you could not participate in you are protected and if they find in your favor you could be rewarded up to $ 250,000 for an employer deliberatley taking retaliation for your filing a grievance or refusing to do something illegal. Most pleople don't follow thru on this type of thing but an employee cannot retaliate against you even if your grievance was incorrect if you thought you were doing the right thing. Look up you local EEOC office talk to them and see what they say or contact a lawyer. Also, if you have any medical dx Post tramatic Stress Disorder you are protected by the Human Rights Commision in your area . All you have to do is find them and tell your story if they take the case they cover the costs. Don't let them get away with this kind of thing. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against employees who report problems in good faith. Good luck :kiss
