This is a subject very dear to my heart at the moment, as some of you may know. All I would say is don`t suffer in silence for too long. Talk to your boss or someone you can trust and try and keep calm. If that doesn`t work check out your other options and do read the terms and conditions of your contract. Good luck, hope it works out ok. Frances

It might be worth going to your local jobcentre and telling them about this - at least if you leave your job they will be forewarned and you got your story in first. I wanted to leave a horrible job, I'd been there for nine years and was treated like dirt the whole time, but I was too downtrodden to leave! It was actually making me ill and I went to the Job Centre in desperation to find out where I would stand if I left. They were so nice I couldnt believe it! They told me no-one has to put up with this sort of thing these days and even though I left of my own accord I got benefits straightaway. (They found me another job in a week though, but that's another story!) But, as the others have said, go the extra mile willingly - but also make it clear that you are not to be viewed as a skivvy either. You dont have to lose your temper to make your point. Lots of luck anyway.
