It doesn't directly affect me, in that I don't work in the same room as the other two ladies, but morale is so low in that office and when you walk in the atmosphere is so bad.  We share all other facilities and do have to liaise a lot with the other PA re diaries, conference calling etc.

I do have a very good relationship with my boss, and he would definitely listen and either offer advice or have a word with the other MD but I'm also afraid of putting myself in the position where he HAS to act on what I tell him and that creates further division in the offices.

If it was just a case of coaching the assistant I am more than happy, but I really feel that I've gone as far as I can with her, and now her boss is standing in the way of progress. I've seen her go from bored, to enthusiastic when encouraged to take on more, to now, and she's permanently "angry" and bitter about the situation. If either of the other two left then I can see more being pushed our way and we're stretched now!

TBH I'm just sick and tired of it all now and I guess that's the real reason I want to do something ~ to save my sanity and prevent a "snap".
