regardless of the actual situation, you're seeing the signs and you should be updating your book.
consider yourself lucky to have had warnings, don't get fucked unprepared

How can an "agency" have only three people? It sounds like a web design studio.

i read it.. wasnt too long but a lot of useless info.. if oyu have 10 years plus under your experience, perhaps some new networking from those old clients is needed to strum up some awareness that you are still around.. get your work out and move on to a design team that is already managed nicely.
it may be time for you to work with a larger and more focused and organized team and environment.
perhaps you arent getting let go and replaced, but rather you are replacing them..
good luck.
- Right, I didn't want to drag on but I wanted to give concrete examples. But I can see how it's disjointed

Ok, just finished reading it. I realize I'm only hearing one sound of the story, but if it's true, she sounds like a biatch.
I think she was fooling around with the previous guy. Husband found out about it. Fired him. And now she's bitter and taking it out on you.

The whole discourse was unprofessional, redundant and if you valued yourself you would quit. And they should move on as well.

is he fired yet?

women like doing that, it's called bitching.
But seriously, step up your game or move on and find a place where the oversight/management you need is in place already. The thing with the css not loading properly is super common, if she doesn't get it you have to explain nicely like your talking to a two yr old with a temper and a handgun.
But as far as being sloppy, wasting time, not being a leader enough to even lead yourself, whining and being a pain in her ass...you may want to do something about that.

Yeah sounds like you got it coming, but regardless this place sounds like a bad place to be working at no matter what.
I would take it as a lesson to stay on top of your chops, and then take your skills, experience, and ambition to succeed elsewhere to a team that will appreciate your hard work.

like I said, if you work at a studio run by a couple, you can only lose. there will always be the situation where you‘re the fifth wheel. especially when times get rough. you‘ll soon find yourself facing the good cop/bad cop game...
- That's exactly what's going on. Just had a meeting with the husband and everything was coollandock

hmm.... I'd consider leaving, and/or outsourcing some wordpress-hackery and concentrate on a few big money projects...
They may think you're "too small potatoes" to do something big if you take more than 1 day to do a blog layout, when in fact you're possibly able to make a great, huge sight precisely because you DO NOT just hack template tweeks, but non-tech people base their ideas on observations they see themselves, based on their own past assumtptions, no matter what's the iceberg under the surface....

run! run as fast as you can!

you are either holding them back or you aren't. which is it? if you aren't you need to effectively communicate that to them in a way they can understand. otherwise you might as well start working on your resume.

Only one half of the story, but it sounds like you have every reason in the book to start looking elsewhere. If people treat you like shit, then they aren't worth your time. Simple as that.
Never take shit from employers. We are all humans, and we're not fucking saving lives with graphic design.

Obviously they decided not to fire him, but killed him instead
