Then fucking do it yourself since you need your job but could just get another one, "just like that" Of course your next employer is going to phone the previous one to learn exactly why you got **fired** in the first place, evidently, but you thought that out obviously... Or maybe, just maybe, you didn't really ponder that one entirely... >>What's your breaking point? When do you emerge from from your low profile? You shouldn't have to hide in the shadows...what kind of work environment is this? I cant imagine sticking around for a job working with people who assume you're inherently bad, and you're too weak to even object. Flashnews: what you're describing above is the actual work environment for pretty much everybody these days I don't know where you work at, but it sounds like you aren't exactly dealing with what most of us have to deal with on a daily basis
