Am i right or wrong? How will God view this? really need Godly opinions, or wisdom.?
are there any bible passages relating to this? i prayed to God for a job with a specific company, and God blessed me with the job, however things went wrong when i ended up with a bully boss who did not like that took pride in my job and that i was well liked. along the way their was a lot of manipulation and dishonesty and eventually it led to me being taken off the schedule i think my boss was even bullying human resources. anyway after a month of not being on a schedule i was told by hr and my bosses boss that there may be an opportunity to transfer. the position they are offering me is actually like a demotion. its as if they are saying lets stick her back here so we dont have to deal with her and maybe she'll quit. they dont want to fire me because they know there is no basis for firing me and they know they have handled the situation wrong from the beginning. i have no current plans to sue or file, i will let God take revenge. my question is i do not want to stay with this company no matter what. the position i had before and the one being offered are not even in the fields that i am going to college for, they are dead end jobs, and i feel if i go back i will not go anywhere, they have already put me in a position where i may not be able to go back to school, because i was not making as much money as i should. i dealt with depression and anxiety while there which prevented me frm doing better. my dilemna is before i came to this job i wanted to either stay for the year and build up my reference, or stay till i have an even better job then leave. i have done neither. i after awhile i decided if i could just make it to six months that would be enough, i have made it to six months. i feel like i may be letting God down if i dont accept this position, because i didnt meet my goals. i wonder if my goals are arbitrary. these people are demons, i truly believe they are bad evil, i've had bad jobs before but this is different, i dont want them to have control over my life anymore. my boss may have had something to do with this new position and she knows the possible new manager, i dont want her sticking her demon hands into my life anymore. i have a few months rent saved up but not much more, but i want to tell this company to shove it and move on. i would rather ask God to put me in a better plasce, than ask God to make the bully stop torturing me. i dont feel right about going back to a place that i know is bad. i dont know why they wont leave me alone, i never asked them to bring me back, nor did i ask to be transferred or placed on the schedule after they took me off. i left them alone but they contacted me. to me its like the devil trying to keep a grip on me. i just see nothing but bad times ahead at this place. am i overreacting? does anyone have experience or know something in the bible that talks about this?
i om think i asked for the wrong thing, this place is supposed to run on a religious platform, but they are anything but.

There are some things that God wants us to decide on our own.
Stay and overcome or move on. As long as you do one or the other in a godly way it makes no difference. There is no way to know the future. Just this:
Romans 8:28 (New King James Version)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Whether you change your goals a little or stick to the original ones closely doesn’t matter as long as you live godly either way you go. It’s depends on your individual situation when trying to decide what’s best for you. Are you strong enough to stay and overcome evil with good right now or does your mind/spirit need a refreshing break from it in order to be healthy? Which ever way you choose it is okay with God. Ask Him to bless your endeavors. Make sure you are right with Him.
Please consider the study below:
How can I be saved ?
John 3:14-19
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Mark 16:15-16
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
Acts 3:18-21
18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Acts 2:37-39
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Acts 8:35-38
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”
37 Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.”
And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.
2 Peter 1:5-10
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Hebrews 10:24-27
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

Now we know from the scriptures that we must first learn about the gospel, believe it, repent, be baptized, & live l

Well, it's possible you asked for the wrong thing
But it's also possible that your faith in God and in Christ will be strengthened by this situation.
I would suggest that unless you are forced to take a lesser position, stay where you are. Be kind, clear, nice, and do more than your job.
Possibly you stuck out too much and made others jealous. It easier to just do a job and let God take care of others than sometimes get involved with everything and be noticed too much. Because sometimes it's better to just let God help by your prayers than your words.
Six more months to go. I suggest to keep your faith and speak to those outside of the job who have your same thinking and don't make waves where there is no interest by those around you to change.
Also, keep good records (a daily journal, they hold up in court). If you are unduly fired, you should consider fighitng for the truth - even if it means hiring a lawyer. You might be the help for someone else by standing up for the truth, without knowing it.

Human wisdom is corrupt, we make mistakes all the time. We are fallible beings, we always are getting things wrong, doing things we shouldn't do. Even when we make a decision that seems like the best possible option at the time we can't see what consequences that will have, that may be the worst possible option in the long run. God is an infallible being, he cannot be wrong and he cannot make mistakes. Although we cannot always understand why God has decided to do something he knows what is best. God is not corrupt and that is the main difference between human wisdom and God's wisdom. Man's wisdom is corrupted. God's wisdom is not corrupted, it is perfect. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5

Sometimes when you get what you want you discover that it is not the best thing for you. That is why when you pray you should always ask for God's will and know that He knows what is best for you better than you do. I can't tell you what God's will is for you, only He can let you know. But I do believe sometimes He allows certain situations to happen in order to show us some lesson that we may need to see through experience. My personal advice to you would be to just start looking for another job and move on. I don't think you should feel that you have to stay in a situation that is hurting you. God wants you to be happy and if you have learned from this situation then it is time to move on. Just remember to always ask for His guidance and help you to do His will not your own.

As Christians we are to deny our own will, and submit to His, which is to seek those things which are above, and to set our affections on things above, not on the earth. And when we are wronged, we are to take the wrong and forgive, and not confront nor withstand mistreatment. And we are to make ourselves last of all and servants of all. And we should not at any time suppose that gain is godliness, but godliness with contentment is great gain. Worldly ambition and success is for those of the world, therefore do they speak of the world, and the world hears them. But they that are of God hears God´s Words. We live in a wolf world wherein we are suppose to be lambs; but there is no such thing with the Lord as a half lamb, and half wolf. Lambs accept what they get, they do not compete as do the wolves, neither are they ambitious, but are always in a state of humility.

Colossians 3:22-24:
"Slaves obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service as people-pleasers but with sincerity of heart fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward You are serving the Lord Christ."
Of course "slaves" at the time were anyone who worked for someone. But my personal advice would be to move on if you feel you were treated unfairly and it won't stop.

in the beginning you said that you prayed for this job and God gave it to you
at the end you said your bosses were evil demons.
Now why would God do that to you? Is it possible you were mistaken about one or the other?
