grow a pair and deal with it. If they won't agree to a rise then walk. Sounds like she is a bit of a bully and needs to be pulled up about it.

Your call. Grow a pair, or suffer.nomadd liked this postComment

Firstly, what have you done (apart from put up with the manager) that puts you in any position to ask for an increase? Regardless of the work situation, you need to be able to highlight what you have done and what has changed since you agreed the position and the rate.
Of course, you could argue that you need an increase just to stomach working there any more, which may or may not be a realistic argument.
Anyway - this is what agents are for. Your contract is with them, so negotiate your increase with them and be prepared to either walk or back down.Comment

Have a read of the early articles on this blog to work out which personality type she is - i.e. is she a nutjob?

Thanks for all this chaps! love the references to growing a pair. made me lol.
My answer at the mo is to turn this into a challenge. A learning opportunity. I just got out of the way of dealing with personality disorders.
I have taken on more than the original job spec required so feel comfortable asking for a raise/'promotion'.
Thanks againComment

No wonder he's getting his arse kicked by a girlie, he's a bloody Vegan! If he'd just learn to eat animals he'd grow a proper pair and deal with this bitch. I don't know, what is the world of contracting coming to these days...
