NHS problems - dealing with an 'strange' boss
Discussion
Mrs RS is working in the NHS hospital. She has been offered an administration position even though she is very highly qualified. She took the position following a career break of 8 years to raise our young family.
Her new boss is very strange. He very excited to have someone assisting him and puts her down whenever he can. He has given her some quite meanial tasks to do and really doesnt understand the position he is employed to do. All the work she does is taken and he manages to take all the glory for it.
His boss is even worse - he is unapproachable and hardly ever there. Above him are directors that are never actually at work.
What can she do?

Ray, you've hit the nail on the head with your last post.
The job offers her the flexibility and working hours she wants plus a pay packet at the end of each month. There's no guarantee with any job that you will get on with your boss and that he wont steal your ideas as his own. So at this moment in time she should focus on the positives.
In parallel with this she can continue seeking employment, employers appear to be favouring currently employed candidates over those that are currently out of work and as she only works part-time should be able to fit any interviews around her current job.
I'm talking from experience here as I have had to accept work in Ghana after redundancy hit and have a boss that was appointed after me that I have an awkward relationship with plus the fact that my friends, family, dog and life are thousands of miles away coupled with the daily sagas that accompany being over here. But ultimately I keep my head down, get on with my job and focus on the pay packet at the end of each month.
