Update:
I got called into a meeting this afternoon with my boss, and her supervisor. We hashed things out. I asked for a transfer to another site, but was told there weren't any openings. ( Mind you they have help wanted ads posted everywhere for that location )
I was then handed a written warning. I disagreed with some of the things in it, and mentioned that. Told them I didn't understand how I could be written up, when I was on my time, not theirs, but it was because it was done in front of the children.
I told them that it was the last time I'll ever volunteer my time, and they said it was up to me, to make that decision, and that it wasn't related to my work. They mentioned, that they hope I change my mind, because the children and parents will wonder why I'm not there.
I was told that she doesn't trust me personally at this point ( same way I feel about her ), but that she wants me in charge next week, when she goes away.
My question: Why would you want someone in charge that you don't trust?
I then let everything out, that I've been holding in. They asked me what my decision was, and I responded that "I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't." They asked me what I meant, and told them that if I stay, I'll be miserable, because of her, but if I leave I'll be away from the thing that I love doing most... working with children.
They basically didn't fire me, but tried to make me realize that I'm probably not going to get better than this. See... they don't know me. The one thing that I do have is confidence in myself to find, and land, a better job. Kudo's to them for trying to strong-hold me, but it's not working.
I'm in a situation where I'm more upset about losing the friendship, then I am at losing the damn job.
Someone... a friend of mine told me this, and suddenly everything made sense. He told me "why don't you just try taking the little blue pill, and see what happens?"
I think it might be time for me to try the pill.
Opinions are appreciated.
