text: Document your work.  If she verbally assigns work to you, type out a memo that states your understanding of the assignment.  Put a date and time on the memo and have her sign it.  If she refuses to sign it, start the memo with "This is my understanding of the assigned work you wish for me to complete.  If there are any discrepancies, please let me know ASAP."\n\nIf the issue is more of an attitude (hers), then ask her "why do you treat me like a child?"   Be sure to have your resume in order and all your work in order.\n\nBest thing to do is become proficient in your work - become valuable and let HER superiors know what you accomplish.  If she fires you or you leave, they will know that it is her fault and that you were a loss to the company.\n\nLong term, buy a book on dealing with office personalities and talk this over with close friends or a mentor outside of work.\n\nGood Luck.
