Annie, this woman has already got away with murder as far as making you do more than your fair share is concerned, I wonder if she is fiddling the books and creaming off funds for herself. It's time she was investigated and sorted out once and for all. Are you overseen by any bodies such as Ofsted, I know they used to have to check out childminders etc, wonder if they or someone similar are able to check her out. She is a lazy scheming madam who is cheating on her bosses. Are you working for the local Council or a private company?

Good luck, and just imagine us all standing watching you as you say NO to her, imagine if you let her browbeat you into doing things you aren't supposed to do and how we would react if we were there!!

Hmmmm....could this be a case of "constructive dismissal"=or trying to ?

So much good advice on here annie. the reason your BP goes up when you return to work is that the whole time you are working for her you are under stress.

Sue (Supercrutch) is right, follow her suggestions.

Just to pick up on an earlier comment.

Unless there is a restriction in your conditions of employment, there is absolutely no reason why you can't join a Union, even though there is 'only you'. It sounds as if you may need their expertize or advice. They can support you if you eventually decide to make a complaint about bullying in the work place, as well as the current situation.

COHSE has already been mentioned. If you work in the Public Sector, there is also UNISON. You don't *have to* go on strike if one is called, and the political portion of your sub can be allocated to a charity of your choice.

ElizabethK they were my thoughts exactly. You definately should not mention BP that would also allow her to say that you were not up to the job.

Liz makes a good case there for investigation.

Good luck be strong.

The more you worry the more your BP will go up .no job is worth your health suffering like it is ..tell this person straight ,dont get upset .just be polite .dont let this bully win .Good Luck .Barbra

You must tell her that to enable you to do the job safely and correctly you will have to go on a course to climb Ladders, and paint. ( Health and Safety reasons) obviously you must do so.,. If they send Firemen to learn how to use them

Grannie,if you keep on acting like a doormat,then folk will keep on wiping their feet all over you,stand up for yourself,as nobody else will.

Just tell the old trout to bu***r off and do her own dirty work.

Hi Grannie,,how you got on today,,??

Well i got away with the deco through H/S.The room is not going to be painted.I have more though lol Manager had our tenancy changed.Told me she had put drugs in.Got a copy today and its all be revised? Told me to call a meeting tomorrow morning.Wrote to every resident and when she left told me she would not be in tomorrow.I have no idea on new tenancy apart from from what i have downloaded and no mention of drugs but 28 days notice and not 7? GRRRR

Grannie,

I hope you are keeping a record of the job requests which under your contract you are not allowed to do that she has asked you to do over the years you have been there.

As the record would/could come in handy one day when she goes too far with her requests.

Please contact a union either GMB or Unison just for advice on your job description and ask them for a copy of the H and S booklet.

Ohhh Grannie Annie....she needs sorting. Its time for GR gang make a visit me thinks:))))

Take care!!

Sounds as tho she is getting you to do all her work for your lower pay and she is skiving off elsewhere. For heaven's sake, get this woman dealt with once and for all, she must be answerable to someone other than your immediate bosses. Can you talk to a local councillor or MP - who is paying her?

One day there will be a major problem and you might end up carrying the can - don't let her continue to browbeat you and make you the scapegoat and do more than you should be doing, Annie.
