[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was out of my job for a four month maternity leave, and there were major changes while I was gone. The head of the organization was replaced and a new right hand man was brought in.

To say that this right hand man has it out for me is an understatement. I went from being an [b]extremely valued employee, "the person who could do no wrong,"[/b] to "the person that can do no right" overnight. I really don't think it is something I did, because the person had it out for me before even meeting me in person. If the old head was there, I don't think this would be as big of an issue, because we had such an excellent relationship. I get along well with the new one but we simply do not know each other as well.

I would look for a new job in a heartbeat except that I have a very flexible PT schedule, and I would never be able to stay at my level PT in a new organization. Even if I took an entry level version of my current job, a PT position would be extremely difficult to find (though not impossible). I don't know what to do. I don't want to work FT, but at the same time I have a stellar reputation with my current organization (minus any damage that this person has already done) and I am afraid that the longer I stay, the more my reputation will suffer.

Has anyone been in this position? Trying to figure out if there is some way this could improve, and/or if I should wait it out until it's either so intolerable that I quit or I get fired, or if I need to suck it up and just look for FT work because of the potential damage to my reputation.

There's your problem. You may or may not have been valuable.  The previous manager put you on a pedestal and what happens is the pendalum swings the other way and you get knocked off.

Look for a new position and always be wary of becoming that employee again. [/quote]
