NEED TO SLAP MY BOSS

I have worked at my place of employment for just over a year and a half, and my boss is ....... well I wouldn't want even anyone that has wronged me to work with this person. I have been called stupid, retarded and incompetent, I have been belittled and disrespected in front of other employees. Now, I'm not saying that I'm the smartest person but i don't believe anyone deserves to be treated this way.

I have talked to the "HR" person in this small company, and all it did was put a band aid on the situation for almost a week. I had a talk with my boss, again, a band aid for almost 3 weeks. It is to the point where I am throwing up before I go to work just thinking about the day that I will have to suffer through. All the things that are said to me are making me second guess myself and I am starting to mess up on things that I KNOW how to do. My work performance is suffering and getting worse by the day. Every day I have a thought go through my head 'this is the day I am getting fired'.

I have gone through several lawyers counsel  and am told that unless what is happening is discriminative, such as sexual harassment or discriminative against a disability, I have no case. They also said that what I am experiencing is "personal" not discriminative I have nothing against the company or the other employees, just the person that obviously has such an immense amount of hatred towards me. That being said I know that starting a legal action or filing a formal complaint while I am still working there will not help my situation. ( Lest I forget, this is Nigeria so legal action might not work ) All I want from this is to be able to work without stress or fear of being jobless.. I didn't know what else to do.

Then I came across the following 10 Commandments for a Hostile Work Environment like mine from T. D. Jakes and believe me , it has worked for me .

HOW TO WORK IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT FROM TD JAKES SERMON: 1. Understand that God anoints you for trouble. Be sure you are a Christian.  Put on the armor of God before going to work. 2. Don't expect to be appreciated. Your only expectation should be to get a paycheck. Don't come to work to have personal relationships. Don't allow what you do to affect who you are. 3. Do your job well, but remember your mission. God put you there to be a light. 4. Seek opportunities to change the atmosphere without commenting on the problems. You have a God to talk to. You're on an assignment. In quietness and competence shall be your strength. 5. Don't let your environment get inside of you. You should influence it, not let it influence you. Stop going to work to be fed- you didn't come to receive, you came to give. 6. Increase your capacity to work with different personalities. God will often bless you through people you don't even like! 7. Remember where you are does not define where you are going. This will deliver you from frustration. God has a plan for your life. Keep your eye on the prize. When Peter did this, he was able to walk in what other people sank in! 8. Get the optimum results with minimal confusion. Be effective without making the environment worse. 9. Don't be associated with one group or clique. Labels limit your usefulness. God wants you to work with everybody but be labeled by nobody. Use all your gifts. 10. Always keep your song near you. Keep a consecrated place in your soul. Hold on to your praise.
