My wife called me as she always does while she was on her way to the van to come home from work this evening. She was upset, as she has been lately. Every time she has to work she starts to panic because her boss nit-picks everything she does to the point of putting her just about into tears.
By the time my wife comes home she's angry, upset, and usually on the verge of tears or already crying. I can't help but to feel like it's my fault. I asked our district manager to transfer her to this store which is about twenty miles closer than the one that she was at. Within about a week her new boss had her up in the office and it seems to happen just about every month. Apparently the boss traded the last person she nit-picked to death for my wife.
I'm tired of seeing my wife (the woman I adore) coming home in this state but I don't make enough money to support us on my own and a new job won't pay her what she makes now (not to mention, new jobs are hard to come by right now). A big part of me wants to go up there myself and talk to her boss. (This sounds terrible but it's the truth) Another part of me even wishes her boss were a man so I could punch him in the mouth, but of course, that would be terribly wrong and wouldn't do much for our Christian witness either.
I just want to see her in a better frame of mind. I fear that this constant stress is going to really tare her down and I don't want for her to go through anything like that. I love her dearly and pray that God will change this for her benefit.
