The law is the same in a lot of places. However I believe FL law says two people have to consent to the recording. I don't believe it specifies who the second person has to be. So if you are reading between the lines, Rae calls her friend says I'ma record this jabrone and everything is gravy.

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!!

Sorry Im late back to my own party, but Im not in FL anymore folks, Im in GA.

In any case, thank you to everyone that has given me input. I find it remarkable that without putting exactly what kind of person my boss is, everyone seems to have 100% pegged the personality.

Regardless of what I do, I will be wrong and she will be offended. Up till now it appears she kinda likes me too, but I know she doesnt appreciate folks standing up to her.

I plan on playing dumb, sitting down with her, writing out her instructions, pointing out I cant do both things at once and working out something regarding this ridiculous 6 day work week. Also writing down all the expectations so I can point them out later.

No job deserves this much of my time unless its something I LOVE versus a paycheck. Nor does it rate the level of irritation I just cant seem to let go of.

If there is an owner/boss over her head to copy on the email, do it.

Save copies of all of these emails and any responses to a flash drive.

I wish. We dont even have emails. *sigh*

I used to work for a guy like that. He was an idiot and the company ended up going out of business.

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.
