Bill, one thing I never do is pass judgement after only hearing one side of a story. I had an old boss who use to say "Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see and you will be halfway to the truth." But looking at Consuelos' situation, the only course for her is to leave with the minimum of fuss, work is only a part of life, and that can be re-built.

DONT WANT TO MAKE A LONG STORY BUT MY WIFE IS RESIGNING FROM HER HISTOLOGY
SUPERVISORY POSITION, TOMMORROW. SHE HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION FOR ALMOST
8YEARS. SHE LOVES HER WORK AND IS REALLY GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES. THE PROBLEM
HAS BEEN HER LAB MANAGER AND 1 OF THE DOCTORS. TO NOT GET IN DEPTH WITH THE
PROBLEM LETS JUST SAY THEY HAVE MADE HER LIFE HELL FOR 8 YEARS BY SLANDERING
HER REPUTATION TO NEW WORKERS UNDER HER, SELL REPS, ETC. HER LAB MANAGER
TELLS PEOPLE THAT SHE TREATS PEOPLE REALLY BAD, HAS NO PEOPLE SKILLS OR
SUPERVISORY SKILLS. SHE KNOWS THIS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO HER AND
ASKED HER IF SHE KNEW WHAT HE WAS SAYING ABOUT HER! THE DOCTOR WOULD YELL A
HER IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE AND TELL SELLS REPS THAT SHE NEEDS TRAINING AND
DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING. WHEN THEY CHECKED ON HER MANUALS THEY WERE IN
ORDER AND SHE WAS DOING EVERYTHING CORRECTLY. THEY WOULD THEN WANT TO KNOW
WHY IS THE DOCTOR SAYING THESE THINGS. ALL MY WIFE WANTED TO DO WAS BE ABLE
TO DO THE WORK THAT SHE LOVES AND IS TALENTED IN DOING. SHE HAS GONE THRU 3
CAP INSPECTIONS AND HAS DONE PERFECT ON ALL OF THEM. ON ONE OF THEM, THE
INSPECTING DOCTOR GAVE A COMPLIMENT TO MY WIFE AND THE DOCTOR SHE WORKS WITH
JUST SAID HE COULD REPLACE HER WITH THE SECRETARY. SHE HAS NEVER HAD A WRITE
UP AGAINST HER IN 8 YEARS AND WONDERS WHY IF SHE IS SO BAD! SHE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO EXCEPT TO RESIGN BUT IS EXTREMELY DEPRESSED BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT
MANY HISTOLOGY JOBS HERE IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND FEELS HER CAREER IS
OVER. SHE IS ONLY 33 AND IT IS AN INJUSTICE THAT SHE IS BEING DONE THIS WAY.
I AM HER HUSBAND AND LOVE HER VERY MUCH AND WANT TO HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.
I AM HOPING THAT SOME OF YOU OUT THERE CAN GIVE HER ADVICE OR ENCOURAGEMENT
OVER THIS ORDEAL. THANKYOU IF YOU CAN!!!!! WRITE TO WARNOLD546@AOL OR CALL

MY WIFES NAME IS CONSUELO ARNOLD AND MY NAME IS BILL THANKYOU AGAIN!!
