OT Help Please!

Hi does anyone know of a good lawyer that handles workplace abuse in NY. Yes I will post this to the NY board as well. Situation: My boss is a manic depressive that refuse to take her medication. She screams at us, calls us names(at one point called me a fat ass) whenever something appears to go wrong. This time it is my doctors appointment for surgery. I told the person who does the scheduling on Nov. 16th that I would be take Dec 9th off for my appointment. In the meantime the staff decided to go to a conference. I found out today that it is Dec 9th. So my boss decided to scream in front of everybody how I am throwing a wrench in the plans, because I am suppose to cover and in general made a big scene which left me in tears. Also had I been told yesterday I could have rescheduled but now its too late. This is not the first time this has happened. She does this on a regular basis. Because of this I am on anti-aniety and depression meds which have been up yet again because of the panic attacks I have about work. I have been looking for other employment, but right now I can't find something that won't give me a paycut. Although McDonald's is looking good. Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

Let me tell you something I would go to the Human resource and if that dosn't help I would go to the Harassment board (not the right name but I think you get the idea) and have her brought up on charges you need to get this all documented so you can have it for further refrence! Hope this helps and I am so sorry thsat you have to go through what you are going through. Have a great weekend! Evelyn {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} 247/150/147

Hi Evelyn Thank you for your reply. Other people have gone to HR about her behavior and they have done nothing. Harassment board? How do I get in touch with them. I am not sure if the labor department can help me or if I should just get a lawyer and sue for abuse. The institution has known about her behavoir for over 4 years, although the abuse has been for 7. But they continue to do nothing. I am tired of going home crying and waking up crying because I have to go to work.

Tree D Call the labor board and explain the situation to them and they can most likely either help you and if they can't ask them who can help you they should know. Please don't let this person get away with what she is doing! Evelyn {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} 247/150/147

Hi Evelyn Thanks I am going to call the labor dep. on my lunch break. I am also going to try to get my PCP and Psychistis(sp) help on getting me a medical leave because if I stay I am going to end up in the looney bin. PS Thanks for the hug I really need that. :>
