Going to kill my wife's boss...

Them being so big makes them vulnerable. Small companies can get away with crap like this because they aren't worth being sued. A big company like that never knows what kind of crazy punative damages a sympathetic jury might award. I think you might be surprised at how receptive his superiors might be.
If you do move ahead make sure you record everything. Keep every email, make sure there is a record of every meeting, etc.

Well, I can have my wife show up and tell you all that the hobby sucks, her husband is wasting his time and you all are enablers.
Would that provide balance?

I used to have problems at work. still do from time to time but I found this helps me.
I SIMPLY DO NOT CARE!!!
honest.. I would beat myself up all the time.. Did I do this wrong or that wrong. Boss would always single me out.
One day I decided Hay big deal if I get fired. ( we live on my income, My wife has been a house wife for 15 yrs) ( I make 16.00 a hour)
Not a lot but we get by.
honestly . what is the worst a company can do... Fire you. That's it..
If you wanted after the baby you would be working as soon as you wanted
We have survived on me making 8.00 an hr.
so when the next time the boss is Teed Off just smile .
so what if you got wrote up. (used to bother me to) It really is a state of mind
just be happy with the thought that the boss lives work. you work to live and he/she is just one miserable SOB.
after I got in my mind that the company can no way hurt me I am fine with work and in 2 yrs I have advanced as far as I can go with out going into management.
They have asked but i said no thanks . I want to go to heaven some day.
I really did say that with out thinking. Upper

Not sure about VT, but here in MA, $8/hr gets your family homeless. People here have trouble with $20/hr. Cost of living is that high.

Mrs Peale's boss's boss is an ass. I have worked in several places and there is always one. Bottom line, she didn't get fired. She just got wrote up. My sister in law got wrote up for letting one part go down a line that had a burr on it. She got yelled at too.
The overall problem is respect. Apparently this ass doesn't repect his people. I'd let it go for now. Stay low and look for a different job.
I had an account where I was negotiating some engineering. My boss had told me to do one thing, and the situation called for the other thing to make the customer satisfied. When I resloved it, he called me in his office and said "What F'n part of NO didn't you understand?" The fact that the issue was resolved without cost on either side didn't matter. I'm sure if he were in my shoes he would have done what I did.
I called and got another job within a week. He profusely appologized when I told him I was going to quit, but I profusely quit and started a new job for more money. Sorry sucker.
As it turned out, that boss got another job a year later. I didn't like my new role as a supervisor at a UAW plant, so I went back to my old job with a new boss at more pay.
Things work out. Just keep looking. It's a big country.
