Dear GenXYZ Project,
I'm being "pushed out" at work. My boss is an evil witch who freaks out at me over minor things. In addition, she gives me several awful, mind-numbing, time-consuming projects (i.e folding 600 brochures perfectly-she even checks the crease lines) that have nothing to do with what I was hired for. She's been uncharacteristically silent on a few long-term projects I just finished that I know I did a great job on and is always making comments about how my workload isn't heavy enough. Here's the kicker, she asked me to start training another co-worker on my daily tasks (minus the brochure folding), so I have a strong feeling she's trying to get rid of me sooner rather than later. I've looked online a little bit for jobs, but there's nothing out there right now. I feel like I'm going to get the pink slip any day. Help!!!!

GenXYZ: M.J., if you absolutely need your job, keep it as long as you can and start networking with everyone asap (even including your local Starbucks guy...who knows, they could be hiring). If you can get away with quitting your job before having another one, set up a bunch of fabulously folded brochures on your boss's desk that spell out "I Quit" ("Go F*ck Yourself" is optional).
