Angry - about interaction
I have had problems with a person attacking me personally during meetings and infront of other people at work. Yelling at me. Saying things about how they had stereotyped me ...and how I can't get or do certain things because they believe I am a certain way. The behavior was getting worse and worse, so I had a one-on-one with the person, and that made it worse. So I escalated it to my and their manager.
It was several months of on-going discussions about this behavior before to my surprise the person was much better and more professional, willing to listen to me and allow me to give input without attacking me.
At my review time, I was taken down one level, because of my relationship with this person, When I pushed for more feedback beyond that I was told that I handled everything well but but the general perception outside of my department was what brought me down a level.
Now, this persons behavior sometimes is getting to be borderline again, when I voiced my opinion today in a meeting they get upset and tell me they have more senority then me...etc. And therefore my opinion on a technical topic isn't valid?
I am struggling really with not feeling angry about this, about how their behavior is escalating again, how my boss does nothing, how if I say anything again I might be docked next year about it. I just don't know what to do.
**Trying to be vague here about the interactions while still getting the idea across.

I don't know why, but I have been feeling hesitant about publishing a portfolio.
I just feel so scared in posting all of my accomplishments online where anyone can see. I've tried multiple times creating a career portfolio and I always abandon it midway. I also feel like I don't have enough accomplishments I can brag about. Any advice?

I am not quite sure what to put this in the comments.
But at my work, they pay the males more than they pay the females, even if the females have degrees. I have three degrees. The two men that I work with get more then I do. The one that just got hired gets $2 more an hour then I do & has no experience or degrees, the other one has been there one month longer then me & is handsome & never even finished school with a very shady past & gets $3 more an hour then I do. I have also worked in this industry for over 25 years. I’m very upset about this & have already approached management about it twice. Any suggestions?

I ran across this article on salary negotiation.
The tips come from an Indiana University professor of business law and management. I thought I would share since I've seen posts in the past asking how to negotiate.

I have been working for a company for over 7 years.
I'm a valued worker and am excellent at what I do. I am an accounts manager and I spend a lot of time working with customers and ensuring the accounts of sales projects are correct and in scope of their contracts. However, our workplace is toxic. The salesMEN are very demanding and demeaning of their coworkers. They are non-communicative, demanding, and rude. The boss seems to be more interested in money from sales than the moral of the overall workers. I have had confrontations with a couple of these salesmen as I try to provide support to them. My boss just told me he wants me to work from home because they feel I'm am difficult to work with. I am concerned about not being able to fully complete my job tasks now as I am isolated from my co-workers. Even though me boss has provided me with computers, dual monitors, phone and a printer at my home, it feels like I'm being pushed out.

I have a hearing in my county with the Department of Labor and the School System where I worked.
I was a clerk who was forced to resign so they wouldn’t have to pay unemployment. I appealed and now three years later, I have a hearing. Any suggestions on the best way to handle these jerks ?
