Make sure to get consent.

Really though, my dealings with that type of person really prove that any approach you take to prove your point will anger that person and just make your life harder in the end. If you embaress your boss or seem in any way to be a threat then she will treat you as such and do her best to get rid of you.

Thats the thing, no one wants to feel like an idiot or have it pointed out that they are an idiot because they are inconsistent and have no managerial or business skills. They are just going to think The Chi is being too much trouble than its worth to keep around because they are getting their ego bruised. Then she will get thrown under the bus.

There are ways to approach doing what i suggested, productivity, something along those lines. plus written policies can also help sue, unemployment benefits, or with a nice severence package if you are wrongfully terminated. Its better to have it and never need it than to need it and never have it.

I do agree with Tsunamis statement above, you are in a no win situation, keep the job until something better comes along.

Tis true derf. I had to open an harrassment case against a manager (and it really did happen, talk about bad business practices) and that kept me from being thrown under the bus since they were afraid to terminate me. Between the manager that didn't like to take no for an answer and his superior that liked him and hated women, especially me, it was getting pretty hairy working there. The fat hating women monger finally got fired for blowing 2 of her underlings at the same time at a party and she got thrown under the bus.

Anyway I kept my job until they gave us the WARN act so depending on the size of the company, documentation can go a long way. If its a small company, it may not work...

I am informed yesterday that:

1) I MUST NEVER LEAVE THE OFFICE
2) I MUST SHOW PEOPLE APARTMENTS WHEN THEY COME IN

Now, another thing to consider is that when we work Saturdays, we work alone. And the SAME RULES APPLY.

Can someone PLEASE tell me how this is supposed to work exactly?

Ask your boss if the office phone has forwarding capabilities, so you can forward the phone to your cell when showing units, since only The Sweet Lord Jesus can be in two places at once.

In Florida, as well as some other states, consent is required from all parties.

Ready, go...

All parties must consent to the recording or the disclosure of the contents of any wire, oral or electronic communication in Florida. Recording, disclosing, or endeavoring to disclose without the consent of all parties is a felony, unless the interception is a first offense committed without any illegal purpose, and not for commercial gain. Fla. Stat. ch. 934.03. These first offenses and the interception of cellular frequencies are misdemeanors. State v. News-Press Pub. Co., 338 So. 2d 1313 (1976).

Under the statute, consent is not required for the taping of a non-electronic communication uttered by a person who does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that communication. See definition of “oral communication,” Fla. Stat. ch. 934.02. See also Stevenson v. State, 667 So.2d 410 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996); Paredes v. State, 760 So.2d 167 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000).

I'd do the note-pad thing. Just make step by step notes and repeat it all back like a 3rd grader. I'd even go so far as to refer to myself as an idiot, that "I don't seem to be getting it as easily as I thought".

Good luck!!
