Peter, so sorry to hear about all this. Luiz is spot on - document everything. SharonA gives some good advice too, though I would say keep the blog going, but cleanse it of all non-relevant items, implied or overt threats and keep descriptions factual.

Perhaps I can be of a little help on the sidelines. Is your spouse working in IT? At least that is what I deduced from the blog. If so, that gives me a triple interest: First as your friend; second as a member of the National Trust, one of their customers; and third because I am an IT Director of a company myself and have been in IT since 1979 and in IT Management since 1990; and the specific area where I made my name and career in it has been people management. So I can offer a second opinion on specific tasks, whether the deadlines and targets set could be remotely acceptable etc and perhaps even ways round some of the problems. Email me or phone me and I'll be only too pleased to try to help - we live too far part for a casual visit, but a late night phone conversation is eminently doable.

I feel very angry. Nobody deserves to be made to feel like this at work.
