"then what are you supposed to do?
I mean really?"

--What you do: change jobs.

--Stay on and keep your mouth shut, vent to your family members, friends, bartender, therapist, whoever...and hang onto your sanity by using yoga, vigorous exercise, meditation, etc.

--Learn to live with it and don't let it bother you. (Yeah, a tall order and I can't say I ever did it.)

Don't beat yourself up with being naive. I know I used to be extremely naive about workplace politics and workplace crap. I figure that you're an honest person and a person of integrity, and they're usually the ones who are most naive about things like this. I was, too.

Hope you find something you're happier with.

Don't I know it!
