  • She would constantly critise my attire, my work, if I was 20 seconds late from making tea or lunch she would report me, she would go through my emails (it was a joint office email) listen to my calls and would skuttle off and report me to the owner. She would say numerous times a day why dont I go to so and

Honestly I'm tired of covering for her and getting my face chewed off almost every day."
