(((FFB))) I'm sorry work is being so difficult right now. IMHO you definitely need a new job -this has been going on for a long time and shows no sign of improvement. Also, I think you're in a much stronger position when you already have a job (rather than being unemployed and job hunting). Is there any news on the solvency (or otherwise!) of the company you work for? If things are not looking up, then it could well be time to "jump ship".

Thanks kittykatt for your concern. Indeed it seems like the best time to leave. Yesterday a coworker made it known he intends to leave soon (didn't give a day), not exactly official but he made up his mind and has a plan.
As for me, boss is making my life more complicated now, maybe because she's under a lot of stress herself, but not ok.

My plan is that, right now, I'm doing accounting and fiscal "closing" tasks that I neeed to gain more experience on. Until April, I will (hopefully) have a bit more experience on this. May, more probably. By mid April and probably before that I will have a resume readythat boasts those skills, and I'll contact people who recruit accountants for accounting agencies. I'm also considering non-accounting possibilities but that is more long-term.
