Request prayers for my wife

[BlackEagle]

For months now my wife has endured difficult times at work. She loves her work, and has a great relationship with her clients and fellow workers. She had done exemplary work for the department. However her immediate supervisor seems to have it in for her and has been undermining her every way she can, from making ageist remarks to questioning her competence to giving her a verbal dressing down in the presence of her colleagues and clients--all things designed to destroy here self-confidence. This supervisor has already hounded another member of staff out.

My wife has just about had enough and is ready to quit. She has meetings with a number of people next week to discuss matters.

Could you please pray with me that this supervisor would get straightened out; that my wife's confidence would be built up in these meetings and that the meetings would be productive, and that she would be able to carry on with her work without unnecessary interference.

Thanks.

I was in a similar situation at one time. I know how hard this is. Have her pray for this individual fervently, that Father God would intervene, and cause them to be moved out of the area. Maybe it is time for her to pursue another opportunity. Fast and pray, and continue to trust Father God to show you what to do.

Prayers for a satisfactory resolution. Tell her to stay determined.

Focus and determination... Prayers sent

[woolleyworm]

Prayers sent that she can get through this and keep her chin up. I hate it when someone thinks they've got to bring others down in order for them to look good.

Went through it last month......[for a year and lost ???]
I am sure you can't see it at the moment.....
and I am sure it appears that a loss of her job would be
devastating for you guy's livelihood.......
Give it to God...together, holding each other's hand.......
[I know that sounds cheesy]
Everything happens for a reason, I firmly believe it in my heart.....
doubt what I believe.....then WHY does it seem so wacko and wrong
that her boss would be gunning for your wife when she does her job well...
it doesn't make any sense......and THAT is the part that makes sense.....
does that make sense ?

[ozo]

I would and will be glad to pray with you,
I am not insensitive ........{sorry I left that out
in the above reply}.......
I AM NOT religious, but deeply spiritual, and pray
for your content and happiness.
Only something great will come of this......
if you both keep your hearts focused on the positive
and ridicule the negative.

Lord, I come to you this morning upholding BlackEagle's wife.
You know what she is dealing with, Father, and I ask that you would give her a touch of strength that she might bear up under this.
I ask that you would restore her damaged self-confidence.
I believe, Lord, that any supervisor who verbally disciplines an employee in front of others is in the wrong line of work. I ask that you would deal with this person, influencing them to either educate themselves in proper supervisory activity, or to seek another position with this - or another - company.
I ask, Father, that you would deal with this situation quickly -

And I ask these things in the Holy name of Jesus the Christ, the good shepherd.

Amen -

Prayers go out for you both.
There are laws against such treatment, she does not have to put up with a hostile envoirnment.

We are both thankful for the prayers and encouragement. My wife has more meetings with people tomorrow; I'll be able to update you more then.

Thank you all.

[Big Chevy]

You got it, and as always keep the chin up.

[BlackEagle]

She talked with three people today who were very supportive, and quite cross with the way she has been treated. They offered some helpful suggestions ie: talk to Human Relations (Personnell) about the situation, and to the Occupational Health doctor.

The manager of her unit was compassionate, listened carefully to what my wife had to say and responded with "Why didn't you come to me sooner with this?" My wife responded that the person harrassing her, her immediate supervisor, had said not to say anything about it to anyone else. It will be interesting to see where that goes.

Now to top it all off, she pulled a muscle in her back over the weekend, so her doctor signed her off work for two weeks. :dontknow:

I'm just glad God is really in control, whether we remember that or not.

Thanks again for the prayers, all. Will continue to keep you posted.

Thanks again, all, for the prayers. My wife just asked if I could put this update on the thread:

I have just recieved a summons to a meeting with manager and HR next Thursday 27th at 08:30 feel it may be my turn to start turning things around. covet prayers.

Could you please pray that this would be a profitable meeting and that the bullying, intimidation, and personnel mismanagement would come to light and be dealt with. That the right people would be at that meeting who would present a balanced, true view of my wife and the situation. At the very least that this supervisor would get off my wife's case.

I will continue the prayers as well, BlackEagle.

And to any that read that insulting and belittling message before I got it deleted:

Christ was very clear that we are to come to God in prayer over EVERYTHING, not just life-and-death issues. In fact, we are to pray "without ceasing".

[BlackEagle]

Many thanks for the prayers all;

Will keep you-all updated as things develop.

My wife is watching this and is encouraged by the responses here.

Terry, thanks. I didn't see the post.

BlackEagle, I hope the best for you and your wife. Its a difficult thing when work goes that direction. We do spend a large portion of our lives out in the world earning money for neccesities and entertainment to enjoy our one shot at life. I think its a shame when coworkers/bosses act like that. God Bless You and Your Family :)

Sorry to chime in here so late - I went through a similar situation that lasted three years or so. It's a hard thing to endure. The hardest thing for me was learning to forgive them 70X7. Once I learned that, and it was difficult, the situation seemed to get better and better.

I'll be praying for you and yours.

All, thanks for the ongoing prayers.

My wife had a good meeting Thursday with her supervisor's boss and several other people.

The upshot of the meeting is that, as much as possible, the problematic supervisor will not be on the same shift pattern as my wife and there will be some other changes that should make the work environment better.

Things seem to be resolving themselves now. It's not all over yet, but is closer to being done.

My wife has been greatly encouraged by reading this thread and by your prayers and says a big thank you to all.

glad to see it turn around a bit for you. im still sending prayers for you and the wife that all things will turn out

The righting of wrongs will continue -

[BlackEagle]

Thanks again, all.

The righting of wrongs will continue -

It's an ongoing process and will work out in God's time.

Psalm 47:7-8
For God is the King of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm!
God reigns over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.

If God is king of all the earth, He has control over all things, even our work situations, and will right the wrongs. But He tells us to ask Him for these things, so thanks for joining me in asking, just as we join in asking for other things on behalf of others on this forum.

I had something like that recently at my former employer come up. My super kept making things up and got his boss on board with it as well. I missed a few days due to a car wreck, sadly the work I did for my supervisor went undone and he had no clue how to do it, so due to it shaming a few people. Needless to say in the end after going up the chain of command I had HR saying they didn't see I did anything wrong, but if my supervisor thought it was necessary they would back them up. I could prove he was lying and no one cared. So your wife is in my thoughts and I hope all works well for her. I lost 7 years at a company because of a lying jerk, so I hope her supervisor gets what he deserves.
