Item description from seller

Paperback. She's worked hard to build a successful career. Her new female boss wants her GONE! Should she bow to this abusive treatment and leave her dream job - or stay and fight back?Husband and wife face a David and Goliath task of fighting the federal government to remedy the discriminatory abuse the wife is receiving at her federal job.Her new boss berates her in front of her peers, unfairly criticizes her job performance, and resorts to yelling and screaming to beat her down. She treats her differently than her other employees.The action is riveting and fast-paced. Readers will find themselves rooting for the underdog in this inspirational tale of balancing work and marriage. Can one lone woman stand up to the powerful forces of the federal government? Will this exhaustive personal effort strengthen or weaken her marriage?A unique story of perseverance and courage: This story is based on actual events. Surviving Sybil tells the story of the author, a middle-aged white woman on an upward career path at the Internal Revenue Service until she gets a new boss - a black female manager - who has other ideas about the future of this employee.The author details the numerous incidents of verbal abuse and disparate treatment she received while working for a superior she could never satisfy. Fortunately, many of those discriminatory actions were witnessed by the author's own employees - and her fellow IRS managers. After two emotionally charged years of enduring a hostile work environment and struggling - without success - to satisfy her new boss, the author finally decides to take the appropriate legal action through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She and her husband join forces to fight the federal bureaucracy and right this terrible and unjust wrong.Enjoy the riveting action at the EEOC hearing and the subsequent legal developments in the author's attempt at ultimate justice. From one satisfied reader: "Amazon came today and left your book. I finished it in one sitting! It is riveting. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! It is wonderfully written. Your courage in fighting the system was extraordinary and so admirable." This item is printed on demand.
