When I was a trainee nurse, and trained nurses wore veils, we called that the "new veil syndrome" - the sudden authority does seem to go to some people's head

When I was a wee girl I always wanted a hat like that, was most annoyed they'd changed the uniform by the time I had one.  Although if I'm honest I probably had a lucky escape.   Still get some newly qualified with attitude problems mind you.

One place I worked at had an employee who never seemed to benefit from formal or informal training, just coming up with problems which the training should have sorted out.

Their surname was Hassell.

Glad I am not the only one who says that sudden authority and success brings out the bad attitude in them.

If you had a moody, mean boss called Peace, that would be the oxymoron of oxymorons.

As for bullying, if you report it to people who are supposed to deal with it you get answers such as "could they be having a laugh". No. Banter is only banter if both like it, if one does not then it is not banter but bullying.

Lol at the oxymoron.

I once stupidly reported bullying (24 yrs ago).  It is one of my big regrets in life. Was told to look into myself, work out why anyone would want to pick on me, once I had fixed myself and only then could I complain if it continued. I have been trying to fix myself ever since and haven't had one breakthrough so I have had to start isolating myself from society (easier said than done btw) so that noon is subjected to my company.  I tend to fail at that too so punish myself although I ahve managed to stop going to work's nights out.
