A few years ago I had a nervous breakdown after fighting a long battle, with my union rep urging me on, against a sociopathic boss and a corrupt university. I moved up north, moved into a yurt and spent two years working part-time at a used bookstore to recover. About a year ago, feeling healed, I took another office assistant type job at the county where I live (in Northern California). I had hoped to be long gone by now, hopefully to the library to be a librarian, but the economy didn't cooperate. Today (about one month before my probationary period is up) my boss presented me with a three-page "list of concerns," mostly about things that she felt I didn't follow up on quickly enough. Some are legitimate. Some were a one-time occurence (ie a temporary worker -- not managed by me -- who made many, many mistakes as we found out later, who inserted some forms into a packet backwards, and I didn't catch them). Some go back to October and have never been brought up previously. Some are completely inaccurate. I am considering contacting my union in an informal way to just talk to someone about whether I should rebut this, but the idea is throwing me into a panic. I don't know if I can fight this. I don't know what she's doing. Given our current budget, if she didn't pass me on probation, she could never replace me, and we're short-staffed as it is. What the hell do I do? Should I contact my EAP before I have another nervous breakdown? Should I go to the union? Should I just ignore her knowing she pretty much has to pass me? What kind of game is she playing with me?
