Ah Shel, just seeing this tonight.

If personal and abusive things were said would a letter to HR or higher up be helpful?
Does this boss treat any others the same way??

Even if you don't send the letter now, it might be good have at home in case it ever happens again. To have a record of what transpired??

(((Shelley)))
Looks like you guys are doing fine..Stay positive and be proactive in case the worst happens. If you feel as if you've worked toward being ready for anything, anything can happen and you'll come out on top. Glad things went so well for your DH at HQ. That had to lift his spirits a bit..That, and having a loving, supportive wife.
Still hoping for the best for all ~
Blessings,
Kris

Ah Jo, we wish we would have done this. His abusive behavior has been going on for some time. The boss does treat others badly but treats my DH even worse.

Given that they now have announced thre will likley bee layoffs a letter to HR would not look good right now and more like sour grapes if offered a package.

But he has been keeping copies of all correspondence for a month or two and is sending himself emails after every interaction with commentary of what was said just in case.

Tonight he did his resume and we sent to two peole. Tomorrow two more places so we are trying to be productive.

Thanks Polar It did lift his spirits and just getting some things out to people helped him today as well.

SOmetimes the limbo part weighs on my mind but I am trying to be super supportive.

THanks for your continued prayers.

Best of Luck with the resume's - I really hope something comes out of them!!

To bad the boss wouldn't get the layoff instead of your DH!

Wink hubby and I have been discussing this

situation this weekend.

He reminded me to tell you that VP designations can be very
hollow. He audits businesses, and says some just give that
label to workers instead of bonuses of money.

He has seen places with many many VPs! He says they are typically weeded out when tough times come. The VP often means nothing in his opinion.

This boss may be on the chopping block as we type these posts!

Hang in there!

Your husband's mean boss needs to go through that Dale Carnegie training,and read his book," How to Win Friends & influence People". My Dad swears by this mans teaching,and training.

Major corporate bosses need to send all of there bosses to training like this. Over 15 Million copies of this book have been sold. BF

That's a good point. HIS Boss may be the one let go first since he makes more money. If his job can be downsized it's a very big possibility.
