[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 91941, member: 1"] This is really tough. I'm so sorry to hear you have to deal with this. I don't think you should ever have to brush things like this off and it doesn't matter how senior the person is - there are no excuses for being spoken to in that way. It's easy for me to say, but I don't think the point about this not looking great for your CV will be an issue. You can work out what you want to say in the future to explain this, but I'm unconvinced this is a reason to stay at a job where you are being treated so poorly. I think it also comes down to your other options. I would consider: how comfortable do you feel about raising this to the other partner first? How do you feel about applying for other jobs in the market? Are you in a position where you can leave and support yourself until you find another job? It sounds to me like this partner has been allowed to get away with this for a long time and I would worry that things won't change in the future. [/QUOTE]
