It was one of my coworkers giving me a “heads-up” because the majority of the conversation was driven by one particularly ambitious employee who has tried hard to get me fired in the past.

California I was told to work from home this morning because the rest of the office was having an All Staff meeting that didn’t pertain to me. I got in this afternoon and was told that among other issues, our boss entertained an entire hour of discussing my performance with the entire staff...

My original post lists what I asked for in italics The boss is the official HR. There is one other person, but she takes care of the lesser HR stuff like new hires and such.

How far am I obligated to explain myself to my boss? He claims he himself suffers from PTSD (but then, everyone who stubs their toe seems to say the same thing), but he took me aside after the try to make friends meeting that I looked like the situation was worse and he doesn't understand. How...

Reading now.

I've been in therapy on and off my whole life... currently I'm on. I'm taking two prescribed anti-depressants which are probably the only reason I haven't burned my bridges and found a hole to hide in. As part of my ADA Request letter, I attached my initial assessment which is the original...

CA I have a situation at work where a coworker is constantly harassing me. Talking behind my back, spreading vicious rumors, accusing me of everything in the book, dismantling my integrity from every angle (from "she's not doing her job," to "she's sleeping with the boss"). It's been over a...

Understood. Maybe an hour of her time in the next couple days isn’t a bad idea. Thank you all for your advice and support.

@quincy and @stealth2 - I started with an attorney, but she cost thousands of dollars just to write up a statement (or help me write up my statement) and that I was still "pro se" which I guess means on my own. Ex doesn't have an attorney, because he thinks this is open and shut. I love all my...

I didn't understand your comment... I was trying to say that the parents (me and dad) who have more experience and perspective should lead, and the children follow. I was not implying that I am the more experienced parent, so therefore dad should listen to me. Or were you saying that parents...

I have no sway over him at this time, his father has full temporary custody pending the outcome of the upcoming trial. There is nothing I can take away. I’ve seen him twice in five months, once so he could pick up some of his things, and once so he could tell me that I’m a horrible parent.

Trust me, everyone in therapy together and separately needs to happen. But the trial date is coming up, and the allegations that I’m abusing our child are destroying me. Taking my time from 50% to zero are destroying me. Time will mend this, but I’m freaking out that no one is believing that I...

My son came over to try to corner me into caving on the court case. He kept asking “are you going to let me choose where I want to live or not” “I’m just trying to do what’s in my best interests” “the things that made me want to not live here are one time you snapped at me when your car...

Yes, things between me and the ex could be a lot better... except for some rockiness during the divorce though, we'd been doing really well cooperatively... however, for the last six months our son has been spiraling out of control and we've had some differences in opinion on how to handle that...

I'm in California. I have a 13 year old child and am in the middle of a custody battle. My son is lying about me to his dad so that he can live in a more comfortable home, fewer (if any) rules/chores/obligations, and closer to his girlfriend. Dad of course is furious that I would be so abusive...
