Yes–my goal here is not to change the overall situation, but to adapt and survive for a few more months. It would not be good for me to be fired, but it’s also not good for me to find another job now for many complicated reasons. A lot of this is healthcare-related, and my life will be a lot harder if I can’t wait until September to find another job.
Very true! I’m trying very hard to be a calm rock in a river, but this has been going on for a while, it’s been a rough year for a lot of other reasons, and I’m starting to feel a little more stressed.
kenobi_65, thanks. I will be meeting with someone who is on the lower end of upper management (but probably not until week after next). At this point he also is in the “give her a break” group, so I’m not sure if it will be successful, but maybe it will plant a seed of doubt in his mind!
