Recently my boss and I came to a disgreement over use of resources at work. She's a relatively new manager and she takes a stance on these things which is different to the previous manager's. At my section of work we have won awards in a short film festival but now she won't even allow us to use the camera! I said she was angry and had shortcomings and came close to resignation. But I have a need to earn the pay and I've got there by putting in 25 years of prior background effort. Other job descriptions I have seen do not appear to be the kind of employment that I could stay with. Feeling condescended to here and denied valued and proved respect and dignity.

Once at work I spoke up for what I felt was injustice to another employee. Because of it, I lost a great job. I learned my lesson. An extremely hard and expensive lesson.

But your BIO says you are retired?

@DAMOVOXY so that means you can go home and not stress over this situation since you aren’t there for a career or paycheck. Or, maybe you’re not really retired?
@DAMOVOXY I think your definition of retired is different from the actual definition.
re·tired /rəˈtī(ə)rd
adjective
- having left one's job and ceased to work.
"a retired teacher"
synonyms: former, ex-, past, in retirement, superannuated More -
ARCHAIC
(of a place) quiet and secluded; not seen or frequented by many people.
"this retired corner of the world"
So, basically, you aren't retired.
"It was my bio and I have the right to say anything I like about my life"
Yes. But generally, the truth is preferable over half-truths and deception by omission.
I could claim to be an astronaut and come up with some truth about time spent in space (in aeroplanes) but that wouldn't mean I was really an astronaut.
I picked up on it because you made a post complaining about work....while at the same time claiming to be retired. The inconsistency was glaringly obvious. Still is.
What makes this about politics?
Sorry you're having a hard time at work, but she's your supervisor and she gets
to make the rules. Just because the last one said it was "okay" to do certain things, doesn't mean the new one has to do the same thing. That's just the way it goes.

At my work I was working 4 hours a day. The we got a new supervisor who cut me to 3 hours day. He left and one of the older ones returned and I'm still on 3 hours a day. I do think this is about politics but not the GOP and Dem kind. Maybe they thought I was making too much money.
