Instructor

My boss' 2nd in command is married to my bully. She seems to think that her way is the only way and has made it perfectly clear that I must be stupid because I don't teach like her. Therefore, no one should think I can do it?

Before her husband became the assistant, I was teaching everywhere and students were learning but now she has decided that anyone can teach the math that we require and so I must be able to do that as I am stupid. Now I only teach the math and have to fight to be recoqnised. And I have been informed that the scheduling people are going around asking people if they will work with me and making sure that others know that most won't. She has a group that has taken her attitude as well and life at work is getting more and more miserable everyday.

I have no one to talk to because I feel that by going to the boss I will achieve nothing because she is so close to his right hand man.

I really need some ideas on how to handle this; because I need this job.
