I work for a state agency. Our department director is a bloodthirsty narcissist who chooses a favorite, uses them until they are worthless in her eyes, then throws us away into her box of broken toys.
I had a management position supervising field staff. She didn't like that I wouldn't micromanage so she called me one day saying “I'm moving all supervisor positions to the central office. If you want to keep your job, you'll have to drive to central office 5 days/week (I am in the field 200 miles away from central office). Otherwise I have this shit job you can have for less money… (Paraphrasing). This has nothing to do with your performance and is a businesses decision.”
Only thing is she actually did not do the same thing to other field supervisors and gave my job to her new favorite. I went to HR and they did nothing. Not a thing.
Just wanted to rant. FML
