Kat - You should be proud of her. Says something about you too. Someone taught her to stand up for herself. Lucky for her she was on her way out the door.

Unfortunately, some of us have long term contracts and the psychopath is not the boss but a another professional. I work with a woman who is so "well connected" that if I ever told anyone how nasty she is to me, I would look unprofessional. As far as I can figure, she has disliked me from day one and has done everything she can to discredit me. Luckily, she has no power to fire me. It used to hurt my feelings and anger me, now I just laugh in her face. After ten years, she is losing ground. It is becoming obvious to everyone that she is not to be trusted.

I would not recommend the silent approach to anyone. I endured because I had my dream job and I could walk to work. I have fantasies about spitting on her when she graciously hands me, on behalf of the staff, my retirement gift. Does that make me the psychopath or just someone who desires revenge?
