[Magdalen] Update.

[ROGER STOKES]

I know that it's often bad form to complain about a superior to their superior if you haven't first tried to sort it out directly. I suspect in this case the direct discussion would not work but it's good to know that the chief has your back.  Hopefully he will gently guide your immediate boss to better supervisory practice.  There has been significant academic work on this subject, including the ideal proportion (which I cannot remember but it's significantly over 50%) of praise to criticism.

 Things are a little better, but it's one meeting at a time, these days.  (Meetings with her are currently when things go bad.)  I did, however, yesterday speak with my division chief, her boss, about my 50% of the story he hadn't had to that time.  He's a very fair, moral man, and will be balanced in his approach.  But I will say that he was none too pleased to hear how she's been treating me, and after I encouraged him not to act swiftly, if he acts at all, but rather to ponder carefully, he encouraged me to keep him posted, and thanked me for my input.  This morning is a 10:00 meeting that should be quick and pleasant.  At least in the past it would have been.  We shall see.
