So, lettermail has never exactly been stellar in terms of delivery times or consistency. Things order from across the province arrive a day or two later, while things within town might take a week during bad weather or delays.

Now? Oh my god, stuff never arrives at all, or it can take weeks for something mailed from 10 minutes up the road to arrive.

Are there still rolling strikes going on? I'm honestly baffled otherwise.

Tracked parcels dont fair much better these days either... you pay for express delivery and something arrives a week later, or again, might not arrive at all...

But I'll be damned, flyers are always there to jam up your mailbox. It's a miracle!

With the job market being what it is, I'm really struggling to deal with a boss who has it in for me, given that it's slim pickings out there, even if you're great at what you do, are experienced, etc.

I still dont understand what I did, but this boss has been on my case since day one. Here's just a few things that I've been dealing with:

• I'm routinely told to shut my mouth or get dismissed whenever I speak up in meetings--nobody chimes up in my defense, of course
• My projects keep getting reassigned to less qualified coworkers, who then come to me to fix their work anyway
• I get chastisted for regularly producing work that upper management commend me on because I'm supposedly trying to "get in good with them"
• I'm given contradictory instructions routinely and get yelled at when I cant thread the impossible needle
• Now I'm being forced to have my work reviewed and approved by junior colleagues, but I'm never required to do the same for their work
• And all of this is DESPITE the fact that I'm a high performer, and said boss has had to admit as much and say that my performance isn't the issue

I'm stunned because I have a great working relationship with just about everyone else at my workplace. I don't even give any grief to members of my own team who are notorious underperformers.

But I really don't know what to do.

Putting my head down and doing my work well anyway doesn't make a difference, and if I ever started underperforming, they'd pounce on me right away.

But I also know it's not worth taking things to HR. They'll just paper it over and likely make things worse.

Outside of getting a new job, I really can't see an out here. I'm sure a lot of people can relate, and I hope someone has some solid advice to share.

Thanks guys.
