    Re: unemployment (the musical)

    I would write a letter to the CEO of the corporation, and include a copy for every manager from the CEO, CTO, Vice President, etc, all the way down every single level to your current boss. Explain that you love working for this company, feel you do good work, and wish to continue doing work. Explain that you are being forced out of your position due to office politics and gamesmanship [provide evidence of weirdo manipulation lady]. Explain that you are dedicated to doing good work and hope that these political games can be resolved in a mature way so you can continue doing good work, or else you will have to quit abruptly and start doing good work for another corporation. Thank them for their time and say that you look forward to a timely resolution to this unfortunate matter.

    Be more mature than them, write scary letters to higher-ups, document everything. Above all, buy a small tape recorder and secretly record all verbal conversations. Save all e-mails, etc.

    Don't even deal with your boss. He has eliminated himself from the set of people who can be dealt with rationally. Go way over his head.

    90% chance you will lose your job, but you are going to lose it anyway, so you should lose it on your terms and in a way that forces him to sit in painful review meetings with his boss and explain the pile of evidence you provided.

    He is going to make your life miserable. The only thing you can do is either quit immediately and say nothing, or completely override his authority and ruin his day. You'll probably lose, but you'll lose anyway if you do nothing, so go for it.

    If you can afford it, I'd quit then. They are treating you like crap, and it will get worse not better.

    Sorry.

    Sounds like this place isn't a great place to work...
    My advice, just get another job and finish your degree, probably will be happier in the long run anyway.
    These kind of places aren't worth your time or energy, I wouldn't worry to much about it.

    Start interviewing elsewhere ASAP. If both your immediate boss and the CEO have it out for you, you will have no future at this company even if you don't get fired outright. If you're on good terms with the under-boss, at least you'll be able to get a good job reference.

    Wow, that over-boss is a gump ass trick.

    I think you should find another attorney's office to work for, tbqh. I know you liked the job a lot and all, but sacrificing a sane work environment isn't worth it. Those two whackjobs will just keep finding other ways to make your life miserable.
