Test the waters."Success is a function of the number of uncomfortable conversations you're willing to have," says Ferriss.
"Have these talks before leaving to test the company's flexibility. Otherwise you'll just put up, put up, put up, and then blow up like a mistreated girlfriend. I know one guy who spent an afternoon listening to his boss's stupid jokes, then finally responded to some comment sarcastically.
"When the boss told him that he should watch his tone, the soon-to-be-fired employee retorted, 'I think you should lick my b----.'"

I QUIT TWO YEARS EARLY DUE TO THE ON-GOING STRESS CAUSED BY MY DIRECTOR AND ASST DIRECTOR. IT WAS NOT MY IMAGINATION AS MANY OTHERS SAW HOW BOTH WOMEN WERE OUT TO GET ME. I WAS A DEDICATED SUFFOLK COUNTY EMPLOYEE WHO GAVE MANY HOURS WEEKLY WITHOUT PAY IN ORDER TO HANDLE CHILD ABUSE CASES. IT WAS ONE WOMAN IN PARTICULAR WHO HATED ME AND WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO MANIPULATE THE DIRECTOR AS TO HOW I WAS NOT DOING MY JOB. OVER AND OVER I HAD TO PROVE MYSELF AND OFTEN SHOW THE ASST DIRECTOR FOR THE LIAR SHE WAS BY PRODUCING DOCUMENTS SHE HAD SIGNED. I KNOW THAT PEOPLE LIKE THAT GET KARMA AND I KNOW THAT THEY WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THEIR VERBAL ABUSE AND INTIMIDATION INTHEIR AFTERLIFE. IT IS STRANGE TO THOSE WHO LOVE ME THAT THESE WOMEN HAD IT OUT FOR ME. I WISH I COULD HAVE STAYED AND HELPED OTHER CHILDREN BUT THEY MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE. THEY RETIRED THE YEAR AFTER I DID, I WONDER IF I HAD HELD ON IF THEY WOULD HAVE LEFT OR IF HOGAN WOULD HAVE CONTINUED HER VICIOUS ASSAULT ON ME BY NOT LEAVING. IT IS A SHAME AS SO MANY PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE THE JOB I HELD BUT I LOVED IT. 25 YEARS OF PUTTING MYSELF ON THE LINE FOR CHILDRENS LIVES AND I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. I THANK THE SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT FOR ALL THE APPRECIATION THEY BESTOWED ON ME. I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS DOING A GOOD JOB AND LINDA AND LIZ WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEIR LIES AND UNFAIR TREATMENT AND FACE KARMA.
