    Definitely document and start looking elsewhere. That’s an untenable situation to be put in and I wouldn’t want to work for that boss for another day

      @just_kitten @Outlier1031 agree. get your leaving plan together asap, that is a shitty thing to do, I’d talk to Fair Work about it asap, that kind of action is the job of a FULL TIME manager, not a casual staff member, regardless of your role. Get something about the duties you have in writing if possible.

        Thank you. Yeah i saw straight through what my boss was doing when they told me. I think because I’m introverted and a respectful person people like my boss think i’m weak and will just do as told. i hate having to deal with people like this

      Thanks, i’ve emailed very reasonable response being like ‘so fair work says’ and made it about protecting the business. Hopefully she sees reason. But i think i may have effectively checkmated her if she tries to give me grief.

        Looking forward to hear what comes of it. I definitely think your approach of trying to protect the business first is smart. Fingers crossed she snaps out of it (I’d still start looking for jobs anyway if I were you…)
