I meant to come back last night and update and never did..

My job is seriously stressing me out. I know that some of you have heard me talk about my boss in Chat and the fact that I have a hard time working for someone that was promoted over me and doesn't know how to do my job.. Well - I've been working on something for a good while now =- and quite honestly I'm really the only one that knows anything about it at all. I put together this big proposal and presented it to my VP and now some of the signs and lack of answers on what I'm going to do are pointing in the direction of I'm about to get screwed! I've been there almost 7 years.. this will be the 3rd time they pass me for a job that I'm more than qualified to do. This one would be a much bigger slap in the face than the other two.

So... I am faced with a decision - If they pass me - I will give my two weeks notice. Which is quite honestly terrifying for me - but I won't stand back and wait for someone to tell me how to run a team that I designed in the first place. There is another department that I could go and work for most likely... but if not - I will seek employment elsewhere.. NOW - I HOPE and PRAY that this isn't the case and maybe my paranoia has really set in bad - but right now it's not looking too positive. So - I have to wait till atleast Tuesday before I know anything - and it's driving me nuts! One thing that is really positive - my husband is being so supportive and is beind me 100% and said if it comes to me quiting we would work it out and figure out a way to get by. My anxiety is through the roof at this point - and I am dreading going to work at this point - which is sad since not long ago - I really enjoyed it!

Thanks for listening -

Things like this can really tear us apart, Valerie. It can change our attitude & make life miserable. It can even put our health @ risk. I don't know the in's & out's of the business world, but I don't think it's much different than any job. If you feel you're being kept down or if you don't feel you're being recognized or even if you simply don't feel the love, maybe what happens from here on out is a sign for the direction you should take. I hope you can get through this without alot of anxiety. You are welcome to vent here @ anytime. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

Valerie, I remember when you were passed over for the other promotion and how hard it was for you.
