Getting ready for more abuse and putdowns

After five days away from the bully boss the business trip felt like a holiday.  We enjoyed work and laughter and I learnt that 'the shit at work does not increase proportionally'.  I am not sure this applies in my case, as the better I do and the more I accomplish the more emotional abuse I experience.  Under no circumstances does the bully boss want me to progress.  So I lower my expectations and prepare for more emotional battering, putdowns and lies.  This way I won't be as disappointed or surprised.  It's the way we operate at this place.  It's best to disengage and stop fighting for my work to get recognised or else I will drain emotionally, but use this energy elsewhere.
