Might be getting fired..
So long story short, I started a new job about four months ago. Since I started I have been butting heads with the man I report to on a daily basis. My actual boss sits in Connecticut and she and I get along swimingly.
This guy I have been having problems with is just a jerk. Treats me like a dog, like a personal assistant (when I am a recruiter). Commands me and berates me-talks down to me constantly. I am sick of being spoken to and treated like crap and I finally told him such two days ago in a conversation after he berated me (AGAIN) in front of others. I told him he was inappropriate and unprofessional and that I would not stand for it any longer.
Well, I called my boss about it and told her everything. This is NOT the first time I have complained about him.
Today he comes in and tells me that "the partners are meeting to decide what to do with me" and that I will know more next week.
I find out that HE and the partners are meeting about me. I don't get to tell my side, I don't get to have any defense..just him telling his side, probably painting me as a biotch who can't work in a team.
I have NEVER been fired. I have ALWAYS blown away any expectations and objectives I have had on a job.
Now I get to sit on this for the weekend and TRY not to think about it. Ughhhhh...

I am so sorry to hear this! Though I hope whatever happens it works out the best for you. I've noticed several ladies on the Phoenix board have been getting new jobs lately so there IS work out there! And you can always collect unemployment until you find something and not have to deal with this crap.
I can't help out a lot right now but maybe in a month or two can throw a low-paying assistant job your way every now and then if that'll help.
And I'm also sorry I've been so lame about meeting up lately. It turns out I don't adjust to heat that well so I've been staying indoors until sundown. I feel like a vampire! Though, I'm in LA right now and it's 98 and I was just thinking how nice it was outside... maybe I'm adjusting better than I thought!
(((hugs)))
It totally blows when you don't get to say your piece...
But don't forget, when one door closes, another one opens.

That really sucks, it's such a horrible situation when your supervisor is jerk (I have worked under many jerks in my time). Will your CT boss be in on the meeting?
Lotsa ::hugs:: I hope the partners see through his crap.
