The “Me” Place

Jerry Biberman

Chapter 1.2 in Stories to Tell Your Students, 2011, pp 5-6 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In my first job after graduating college, I worked as a research assistant. My boss Jim was the head of the department, and his wife Linda worked there as well. Linda often used her relationship with her husband to garner more power and influence than any of the other members of the department—including the assistant head of the department (the person who had hired me). Linda would regularly use her personal relationship to influence her husband and many times it was against the direct advice of the assistant department head. The following is one example of how her actions directly affected me.
