[quote=Anonymous]hello!

i am work at a non-profit and am having a tough time as of late. my boss departed, partially because his boss just kind of ignored him and our department and he couldn't get the kind of support he needed to do the kind of programming that needed to be done.

now i am reporting directly to the big boss and very little effort has been made to replace my former boss. the big boss expects me to perform all of the functions of my former boss, though i am paid 40K less than my boss was being paid. my patience is up 6 months into this experience and our department is withering on the vine. i worked up the courage to ask for a raise/promotion or some other kind of help yesterday and was brushed off and told that maybe a temp would be forthcoming. (we need master's level skilled labor, so a temp will not be much help). it was also clear that big boss was annoyed and now thinks that i have the dreaded "bad attitude."

here's the catch: i am in a master's program (evenings) for a degree that will be a career change for me. but there are positions here at my present organization that would work for my new career once i graduate (different department). i'd like to keep that option open, as i have worked here for a long time and believe that our social mission is worthwile and important.

i am in a bind. i would just look for another job if it weren't for the career change issue, which involved risk on my part.  i owe it to my family to set myself up to make that work.[/quote]
