Have you worked with a boss for a long time. And if the boss is resigned then what you feel. For last 20 years I am working under a boss who is the same age of me. In my earlier company I have joined under him in 1992. After 8 years service in that company my boss has resigned and joined in another company in another location. After 2 months he called me and asked me whether you want to work with me again, then resign and join me in my new company. Accordingly I resigned the job and joined under him in a new office. For last 12 years he has sacked due to some politics in the office. He is the nice person, very social to all of the employees and managers even with the casual labours. He stood in this company like my local guardian. From last Saturday he has compeled to go on lang leave as my HOD says. I am not secured under HOD who is played to remove my boss because my boss was a good professional who brought the company from Zero leval to 100 Cr business. But to the chair game like politians doing, the HOD is played to secure his post and chair. But the result come as a nice and wise man, a professional who love to work and his profession has to leave the company. Now I feel insecure in the office. Any time anything will happen. So for last 2/3 days I feel very bad, I am unable to concentrate in my work. I feel that I will be harazzed in this office. I know it was done my the HOD alongwith 3 of the staff working with me. They do politics. Are you came such a situation? If so how you have over come this issue?

ahhh too bad somethings like these happen even in workplace. Politics is really everywhere the workplace because it is politics. I was never promoted because of politics... well... i think we just need to work to be able to live and when time comes retire and enjoy life ahead of us

Thank you Mavic for your response. Yes it is very hard to accept these politics in the work place. They are playing with others life. My retirement is coming near within some years. In this stage how can I get another job with a salary which I am getting from here. But the GOD will see every thing.

just keep on going if you are going to retire soon. You can do it. before you know it you are already filing your retirement application. Just take one day at a time. don't be overwhelmed by the situation, that might lead you to despair... just take it easy friend. day passes by without you counting on the seconds.

I do not have such an experience like yours, but mine could be a bit similar in nature, at least in the transferring part alone. I resigned from my first job and i have also been asked by my former boss to join her when i was already in a new job. the similarity was with the current position of my boss in the new company we joined, she has lost her supposed decision making powers and it was a bit of a challenge even for her and she saw how hard it was for me at our new work and she felt she brought me to a company that made me unhappy. so she allowed me to leave (i stayed there 6 months only).

Thank you Chiyosan, there are some similarities in your case and my case. I am working for last 12 years here and getting near the retirement age. In this position how can I think to get another job? Politics in the office is making very difficult to work freely. My boss was like a local guardian. Now I am feeling alone. I hope not to have any drastic problem here.
