I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Redress is not the only fruit.

Equal Opportunity legislation can also be very relevant. The mythical female is not the only person who can win. The rules are very wide ranging and action can even be achieved at an informal level.

You also have the right to have someone with you as both witness and mentor. This is a good move as it stops the meeting degenerating into a 2-way, or one-way, slanging match.

"Boss, sorry I have to say this but may we have a talk, doors closed? Boss, I think you are riding me, I need more space and I need you to get off my back." Boss can then ask what grounds you have for this and your mate can then prompt if need be.

Bit like the earlier comment about hoping the whole thing will go away. No boss should be stupid enough, if there is a shred of evidence, to tell you to stuff yourself. You have just given them the opportunity to say 'sorry' in front of a witness and reach a satisfactory closure.
