I am interested to hear other's views on this.

It is beginning to really wear me down. I am a grown-up, dedicated, hard-working and enthusiastic. I am also finding I can be tolerant, patient and able to prevent myself from crying in public (sometimes)

This is not with women you understand, no.

This is with staff.

I am getting to the point where I will have to do or say something.

Obviously there is the other side. Those kind mentors who do their best to ease your worries, genuinely want to teach you and inspire you. Berate you gently when you do things wrong and commend you when you get it right. This is the role of the mentor is it not? support and education?

What is your experience/opinion?

What do you think can be done if anything?
