I worked with a psychopath too. She is in management at my old work place and unfortunately she is of the "I like you" or "I don't like you" variety. Guess which camp I fell into?

I was good at my job, but was hamstrung by management. They didn't like me but couldn't acknowledge my worth. My personality changed and I have been deeply hurt by my experiences there. I won't say that it's A Good Thing, but I am learning how to stand up for myself. That and my last job actually want me back after having had my baby. Do you know how much that tingles?

I'm too scared that I won't say the "right" thing. I'm learning that there isn't a "right" thing it's just what I think. I'm still scared. But meh. Either I listen or I don't.
