I must confess that the Villan approach is drawing me ever in. Stress is a cause of much illness in life and can be avoided. Ultimately, getting a new job or saving the current one are two equally valid ways of dealing with the situation.

The new job angle is clearly the less sressful.

Perhaps I have been lucky, or I have a good nose for an argument, but I have been succesful in this kind of situaton twice. In one of those cases I saved somebody elses job against the odds, in the other, I won custody of my little girl against the odds. (in the UK -anyone living here knows that Fathers win custody of their kids very rarely in UK courts)

You do have to be very determined. I don't know about nerves of steel, but you must certainly have focus.
