They call me the Candy Lady

I have multiple bosses. All women. They have been unusually cruel and verbally abusive lately. I have volunteered to work at least one hour late every night. I know they appreciate the help and the rest of the team does as well.
I actually had a coach, upper management, tell me 1000% livid and angry that I wasn't allowed to take a drink of water from the bottle I carry "on the clock". That I had to wait for my lunch as I was "wasting time" I couldn't believe it.
I just won't drink any water when she's around of course.
That's the kind of thing I'm facing. God absolutely wants me where I am. He gives me what I need but I'll take all the prayers I can get.
I think I pulled a few demonic tails with these Handouts!

I have been getting a lot of persecution from management at work. Ie: I am not allowed to have a water bottle at all now even though all the other employees do. I am only "allowed to eat or drink off the clock," (on my lunch).
I don't take my break most days!
Anyway I have been led to pray and fast on this.

Can you apply for a transfer to a different route with different management? When work situations reach this it seems like they so rarely get better. Then the next thing that happens is being written up for something trivial and then you won't be able to transfer departments. If you put in for a transfer now, before something like that, then if they do write you up for something trivial it will look like retaliation.
They've already "coached" me a copy of times. Twice because I obeyed the rules.
The two managers in question, one team lead (directly above me) and one "Coach", are having a lot of trouble themselves and I personally believe they are on the way out.
They are lashing out at me because they feel they can without repercussions, making personal attacks and shouting at me in front of the other employees and customers.
This is just the latest. But Bad Things don't like me. I am clear about what I do off the clock. I don't proselytize on the clock so they can't get me on that.
So they shout at me and make unreasonable demands because they walk by and see me taking a drink of water.
The one team lead was disciplined recently and spent most of the morning sobbing before I came in, then spent the rest of her shift shouting at me.
The whole place is beyond toxic. Most of the workers leave within a few years.
Exactly like my marriage, God has let me know He's got this, hold my head up, "be a light" ( what that man told me twice when he stopped me on the way to the bus stop). "Stand still and see salvation".
I do have boundaries and if she persists with the no water thing I'll file a complaint with personnel. It is completely unreasonable. I believe she is in enough trouble already she will back down. If I have to, I will get a doctor's note. But it won't get that far.
She's just a bully who mistakes meek for weak. I don't think the team lead will be there long.
For some reason people always take personal phone calls where I can hear them and the coach recently took a phone call revealing her daughter is having major behavioral issues.
In my tenure, I have had 3 coworkers walk out. One was slapped by a female customer. When she reported it my friend was asked "What did you do to provoke her, this is your fault" and walked out on the spot. Two more said they were spoken to so rudely by management they felt their only choices were to hit the manager in question or walk out.
It's toxic. But God wants me to be a light.

Some other thoughts, I have actual opportunities to bless those who curse me. Saturday night the coach was complaining she had a sore throat. On my lunch I bought her a package of imported cough drops (Broncolin, from Mexico, really good stuff with mullein extract). Her eyes bugged out when I gave them to her.
I have victory in Jesus!
I would have thought I'd have persecution during the Handouts. I don't. They give me tamales. I get my portion at work.
I have read a lot of missionary biographies and there's always persecution.
My job is to love my neighbor, bless those who curse me, keep reasonable boundaries, work hard and well (Colossians 3:23).

One thing I am absolutely sure of, sister, is that the Lord God Almighty will continue to protect you and provide for you. You are blessed.
Continuing to pray for you, Heather.
Well, you've got us, sis!
