My boss threatened to fire me again today - any advice?

[L A Woman]

Any time my boss pulls one of her power trips and I don't bite, she calls me into her office 10 minutes before I leave on Friday and threatens to fire me. That way I get to spend the whole weekend worried about my job. In short, this is what happened:

She called this morning on her way in, we joked about how our paychecks were already gone. I said I'd spent my last dime on my Christmas plane ticket. (my whole family lives back east)

She wanted to know why I had bought a plane ticket home when she hadn't approved my leave. I replied that my plane ticket was none of her business, but that no one else in the office wanted off those days - I had checked with them and I was the only person who put in a leave slip, so why on earth would she deny it?

She did not say a word to me all day.

Then 10 minutes before I left, she called me in and I explained the above to her again, and I added that every moment I wait to buy a plane ticket, it goes up in price. I even showed her this on Expedia. She replied, "Oh good. I will think about it over the weekend and let you know." I argued that I put in my leave slip three days ago and she said, "well maybe we need to talk about you not working here, anymore."

And here I am. I have e-mailed her supervisor but I don't know what that's going to do. Anyone know if I have any recourse other than just getting another job, which I trying to do!!!???

Thanks for any help. DUers know everything. :-)
