To be pissed of at my boss

[notagoodidea]

Ok sorry it is s bit long but didn't want to drip feed. Got a boss who is a nightmare and she likes to publicly humiliate people, do she tried to do it to me a couple of weeks ago by printing out a couple of documents she claimed showed I had made a mistake on. She the waved them about as she marched over to my desk and slapped them down and announced loudly in the open plan office that I had done them wrong. When I looked at them and noticed that they were partial documents of the same thing and pointed that out to her she got onto a temper and stomped off. An hour later she announced that i would be working at a different location for the next two weeks for training purposes, ok but the new location is 24.5 miles further away from my home so almost 50 extra miles a day travelling, an extra hour at least of travel time. Of course there was no training provided I was just hot desking at another location. Then an insulting meeting towards the end of the 2 weeks where I did not show the appropriate degree of gratefullness for the previous 2 weeks of non training i was told it was now extended a further 2 weeks. So I will be forced to drive an extra 1000 miles, spend £300 on fuel and with the extra travel time loose around 26 hours, just because she is a bitch. And the £300 is coming out of my holiday savings. I am beyond livid and feel like walking out. How can I kill her and hide the body?

Got any manholes outside the office? One could lose it's cover just as she was walking past looking at her phone, then tada, seeya ,farewell as she drops into the sewer......
Another alternative is to get a warm cloth, wipe the handles of every trolley at the supermarket, put it in a plastic bag in the airing cupboard for a week, wait for her to leave the office then wipe it over her keyboard and phone........

Hmm. Wait for her to go on a rant again and record it.
Prop her body up in her chair in her office ( this shouldn't be hard due to her already having an anal probe in situ )
Then play her rant loud on a loop so no one will want to go in.

Failing that, kidnap her, feed her feet first into a woodchipper then feed her remains to some hungry pigs.

I will get the milage back eventually, but not before my holiday, so that is £300 less spending money I have to take with me. But don't get time back.

Sympathies OP.

On a related note, I hate how you are expected to basically give companies credit for your own employment and then claim it back later. I think it should be made illegal beyond a certain financial limit, or be refunded within a maximum of 5 working days.

I don't know what your industry is, but a firm logically backed and polite "No" often shuts people like this up. At the end of the day, she can't actually force you to work from the other location. You always have a choice - that choice might result in you needing to find a new job, but it's a choice all the same! I see 3 options.

1. You accept the "generous" offer of training with paid travel expenses. Accept the additional commute and put it down as experience!
2. You tell her that you don't think it's appropriate, nor required and that you will not be doing it - she backs down because she knows she has no sane logic to back it up with.
3. Same as #2 but she doesn't back down, it goes to HR and you either win or lose.

It doesn't sound like somewhere anyone would want to work, which leads me to ask if you're in either a niche industry and have little choice of other companies to go to or if you got lucky with this job and feel you wouldn't get a comparable role elsewhere. I don't understand why you haven't left.

Assuming you do think you could get another role, I would go for option 2/3. It would be highly unlikely she could justify that behaviour to HR as long as it's as clear cut as you've said.

If you don't think you can get another job then I'd go for option 2 and then fall back to option 1. Ultimately, you can't complain about her behaviour and not be willing to do anything about it. HR should be aware of this behaviour, it is clearly bullying.

In addition, I'd double check your contract as it's highly unlikely you can't claim travel expenses - usually only the difference from your usual place of work to the new location.

With all that extra training surely you are due a raise in pay? Put in for a raise based on your improved value to your company and let them scramble.

Georgia, I could try that one, making her laugh herself to death has possibilities

Justbieing I did say no, repeatedly and loudly, but in the end it was strongly implied that I would be gotten rid of if I did not comply. She has hounded others out and I did not want to get even more shit at work. But I am documenting everthing

You don't have to commit a perfect murder. Just kill her. With a straightened out paperclip. In front of everyone. What jury would convict? Especially if you are dragged kicking and screaming away from the body, trying to get one more in.

I had an arsehole boss once. She left for an absolutely marvellous job, where she would technically be second in command, but would actually run things the way she wanted and her boss was retiring in 6 months time.

He decided not retire and was not the pushover everyone thought he was. She was utterly miserable. I nodded as she outlined how dreadful it was. While doing the Samba inside.
