My Boss Put the Fox in Charge of the Hen House

Dear Glenn,

I am a business manager for a small (16 employees-3 doctors) medical clinic in Iowa. I was hired five years ago to manage everything. I do all of the bookwork, all of the human resource duties, marketing, AR, AP, etc., etc. Recently one of the owners decided since the staff didn’t like how I enforced the Employee Handbook he would take those duties away from me and give them to two other long-term employees. I feel he has put the fox in charge of the hen house. Discrimination among staff is apparent and I will be left to clean up the mess when someone finally yells “foul”. How can I make him see the mess he is creating?
