I don't think my company management is trying to work me into the ground. I think my immediate supervisor is feeding me crazy pills. A couple of things haven't added up this week and finally my years of working as a domestic violence advocate are starting to come back to me. He's totally gaslighting. He's setting me up to isolate from my friends here at work. He's trying to create a situation where I'm loyal to him only. It's really weird. I feel stupid at having been duped; I'm way too savvy and educated for this but damn if he wasn't subtle about it. It's so creepy, you know? I'm not his wife (which is wrong in it's own right), I'm his employee--what is he gaining from this? It's all so wrong.
Advice anyone?
Really, I'm out of here in 3 months and will never be working with him again but...should I be doing something differently for the next three months? I appreciate the value in taking a stand, but I also appreciate a harmonious workplace since I'm leaving soon anyway.

Really? Seriously?
I just returned from a week's vacation on Lake Superior to be informed by my supervisor that starting today I would be in charge of keeping my factory's on-floor supply room organized, cleaned, and maintained. They've decided that I, the woman in her third trimester, who works her tail off at a desk job, in an entire factory of able-bodied employees, should be the one to incorporate an hour or so a day of bending and lifting into her schedule. Sorry, I'm about to lose it here--ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!? What the hell is wrong with these people???
I am so frustrated right now that I'm near tears, I'm afraid to actually talk to anybody because I'm so angry that I will lose it and dissolve into tears. John's immediate advice is to make it alarming clear exactly HOW pregnant I am by sticking out my rapidly expanding belly and waddling as much as possible.
You know??? I only have a few hours of expendable energy in a day--if they want it expended on that, well, it's that much sooner that I'm going to end up on an FMLA related bed rest that they'll be paying 80% of. Honestly, I can't do 8 full hours a day including 1-2 of physical exertion. I really hate this place. :(
