Reply #22: I had my own "Anna" too,

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

While theoretically I did report to her - almost all my time was consumed working directly with the lawyers and directly with clients. Rhonda being my supervisor was a technicality but she eventually decided she had to establish her dominance over me!

So she began to give me time consuming but redundant tasks to do, she began to try forcing other people to do things that were my responsibility - while having me do everything from drive somebody to San Diego to assemble Ikea furniture. I came back from lunch one day to find a poor woman no more than 20 nearly in tears going through my bookshelf because Rhonda had intercepted a request from a lawyer and had this poor girl looking up obscure bankruptcy measure she didn't understand and had no reason to.

When Rhonda discovered me helping her with it, she fliped out at both of us.

Eventually the lawyers came to notice that her stupid errands were taking away from my ability to do my real job and that her forcing others to do my job didn't yield satisfactory results so I was given a promotion and reported to the lawyer responsible for tax and bankruptcy.

Rhonda was eventually fired after she threw a receptionists discman into the wall.
