Sep 24, 2014 at 17:21 comment added A. L. Flanagan I have to disagree. In my experience, this is the only reasonable answer to that question. Staying in an unfixable, unworkable environment is a last resort.

Aug 7, 2013 at 20:19 comment added Nicole @MichaelBorgwardt There is a difference between you giving thought to the whole question and your answer giving thought to it. I don't believe that all (or even many) readers would be able to make the connection from the problem to your solution as the Obvious and Only answer, yet you've framed it that way. Leaving a job should obviously be a last resort.
Aug 7, 2013 at 17:45 comment added enderland @MichaelBorgwardt are you suggesting the asker just walk out tomorrow and not even stay two weeks? Or are you suggesting stopping showing up to work? Even if this was an answer to the question, it still doesn't explain any of the important parts of how to actually effect the results. If you intend them to stay working for 2 weeks, well, that's nearly the same situation the asker's real question is anyways!
Aug 7, 2013 at 17:34 comment added Michael Borgwardt @enderland: and that is addressed in my answer: deal with it by finding a different job immediately. Do not tolerate it in hope for an uncertain better spot in a different department.

Aug 7, 2013 at 16:32 comment added enderland @MichaelBorgwardt from the edited question: How can I deal with being constantly bullied and belittled to the point of tears until I can move to a new job? (which is effectively the same)
Aug 7, 2013 at 16:31 comment added enderland @MichaelBorgwardt from the original unedited question: My question is, what is the best way to deal with an abusive and bullying new manager? How can I protect myself and stand up for myself without being punished?
Aug 7, 2013 at 8:15 comment added Michael Borgwardt @NickC: what portions of the questions do you think I have not given thought to? And IMO that is a very bad rule. There is no significant correlation between the length of a question (which may, as in this case, include extensive explanations of the situation) and the length of a useful answer.
Aug 7, 2013 at 8:00 comment added Nicole You may not be wrong but I'm extremely disappointed at the high vote score here. This does not give even an ounce of thought to substantial portions of the question. My rule of thumb: the answer should at least be as long/detailed as the question.
