    Hi Hibe

    If your boss is giving you a hard time and belittling you what do you do...don't do?

    Don't let them see that they are getting you down - that will just encourage them to do it more.

    Don't get angry with them - that will give them a reason to fire you and you would also be lowering yourself to their level of behaviour.

    Do try to respond with genuine kindness, like Paul wrote somewhere (something like) repay them with kindness and you'll be heaping hot coals on their head. It may take a while but they might eventually start feeling a bit guilty about treating you so bad.

    Are they belittling you because you're preaching your faith to them and they don't want to know? If so, maybe it's time to stop. You can still proclaim the gospel by example - I think it was Francis of Assissi who said 'Preach the gospel, use words if necessary'

    What are your rights?

    Can't help you on this - if it was really bad, it would be classed as bullying in the UK - you could go sick with stress, feel unable to return to work and sue for 'constructive dismissal' here! (where you accuse your employer of deliberately making your life so miserable that you felt you had no alternative but to leave, ie they 'pushed' you)

    Who in higher authority should you go to?

    This depends on the organisation of your workplace, you should be able to speak to your bosses boss, whoever they are, or as suggested in another reply, your HR department.

    What happens if your boss wrote you and cc to authority do you respond?

    Sorry, don't understand the question!

    You also mentioned about your boss looking at confidential papers you printed - well if they are work related, surely this doesn't matter? It's still confidential within the company and she is your boss, so don't let it bother you too much.

    If you still feel like annoying them though, instead of gay porn freebies why not send loads of free bible study courses? - should be easier on the conscience
