OT so much for my new job :( | Arthritis Information

Opening day is in two days and to say he is freaking out is an understatement. There are things out of his control, like someone got stuck in the elavator and he had to call the FD to get them out prompting a new inspection. Our uniforms haven't arrived like they should have, the custom bedskirts haven't arrived, two floors of pillows went missing, the juicer doesn't work, no water in the pool yet, etc. The GM jumped the gun and ordered food too early. we have 140 bananas turning brown, so I asked him what I should do and he said throw away or offer to the staff. I put it in the lobby for the staff, and he came completely unglued on me and started yelling about how he is trying to get the lobby cleaned up for our opening and I'm trying to mess it up and to GO HOME! I mumbled that he was cranky and went back into the kitchen to finish another FAVOR for him that had nothing to do with my job. He found old yucky rat pooped-on china in the basement of the old hotel. He asked me to carry it upstairs and scrub it for the caterer. Mind you, I am flaring badly because I have been off mtx for a month getting ready to start embrel so I am in horrible pain, but I'm hiding it well. I carried a service of china for about 500 people up 2 flights of stairs and spent 7 hours scrubbing it. He comes in and says "I thought I told you to go home". I said "you did, but then you'd have to finish scrubbing rat s**t. He was sweet as pie the rest of the day.

I go in today and he asks me to clean out the storage room that runs the length of the grand ballroom (I'm pretty sure it is haunted) and sort the china and throw away everything else. Again not part of my job. I go looking for a garbage can, none available, and no trash bags either. I ask him to call down to laundry room because I know they are opening big boxes of comforters and I can use those boxes? I forgot to mention the phone system isn't working yet, so he has the only radio in our wing. Anyway, he completely freaks out again says I'm always asking for something and to go home. I got my things to leave and he yells "are you coming back tomorrow?" I ignored him. He yells it again, and I turned around walked back, said "no" in a calm voice and he yells "you can pick up your last check at the end of next week!" All his yelling was for the benefit of all the workers who were sitting watching the big screen. Now I am heartbroken. I worked so dang hard for him and he didn't notice or didn't appreciate it.

I am so sorry. I know how badly you wanted and needed this job. He sounds like an arrogant *sshole. I don't see how you lasted as long as you did and rat crap. UCK! That would have been enough for me to quit!

So, question, are you going back tomorrow?

I would be staying home no matter how much I needed the job. It would be his loss!

Take care. x

I wouldn't waist one bit of anger on that ass if I was you. Hold your head up high and walk in there, pick up your last check and move on. I know how badly you wnted this job,,,,but that's certainly not the type of position you signed on for and you'll do more harm than good to your self if you were to try and keep that job. A: It was way too physical. B: It was way to stressful. Two things you don't need in your life.

I hope your husband is being supportive. Keep your chin up. We love you!

Sounds like he could do with a bunch fives in his mouth....

That job was no good for you, don't waste time on anger.

I think it's best to move on now - no need to put up with that crap. You have skills and are a hard worker, so you will find something else and with people that respect you. I had a boss like that and he would explode at the drop of a hat, rant and rave and then wonder why people were upset (or quit) he'd be that way with customers sometimes as well. I was one of the first hires and for some reason, was never one that he treated so badly, but it would make me angry everytime he did it to others. It wouldn't be fair to label people, so I won't ask, but my first thought was that both must have the same nationality as their style seemed so similar. Maybe it's his brother....

As Lovie said, hold your head up high, collect your check and thank your lucky stars that you're down putting up with his abuse.

You showed a lot of self control when you "calmly said, 'No.'" I probably would have scattered his chickens!
Were you the only target of this jerk or was the whole staff under attack?

There are other, better opportunities, you'll find them!! And you'll be happy you didn't settle to work for that doodie-head.

Best wishes~

What a jerk. remember what comes arouind goes arouind. Hopefully he will fail in his endevorI think you should hold your head high and move on. He isn't worth the space in your brain any longer. Remember, this is his problem; not yours. You will find another job and when you do, you will be so happy and you didn't stay and put up with the arrogant jerk. Good luck to you, Hiking_galI'm sorry you were treated this way by that big JERK. But, you are better than him and something better will come out of this. Cheer up and hold your head high and be proud of what you can accomplish while dealing with this crappy disease! You now have recent experience to put on a resume and you can put down do not contact, and state the reasons why. Good luck, and please don't use the hangar, we care and love you. CathyFLI am so sorry! I know how excited you were about this opportunity. I hope you find another one soon and can find some fulfillment elsewhere in the meantime...I wouldn't use that on a resume. This is the second job that you've left in the last few months. Two jobs listed on a resume which you list "Do not contact" is not going to look good for you. You weren't there long....I'd scrap it if I was you.

Not saying you were to blame for anything that happened at either place....but why risk having to explain things to someone new? Best to start fresh and let someone form their own opinion of you without any baggage from these less than perfect references. If someone gives me a resume with jobs listed and instructions not to contact; I'm going to wonder what's up with that and even if they explain I'm going to be wondering what the other side of the story is. No; I wouldn't take a chance on that (if it was me).

I feel much better today. I guess I just needed a good cry as I thought this was going to be my dream job. I am not the type of person who carries a grudge or wishes ill on anyone. I hope my boss CAN pull it off, apparently I just wasn't the right person. I could have filed a worker's injury claim when I fell there, and I could have filed a discrimination suit at last job, but that is not me. I am a hard worker and hopefully an employer will see it and appreciate my work ethic and positive attitude in place of a full resumeOh, and hubby was very sweet last night and brought me a dozen roses. We had a nice conversation and things were going nicely....then he said something incredibly stupid that made me mad and ruined everything he tried to do. Men can be neanderthals sometimes, I swear.Roses make up for a lot Cut him some slack....that's more than a lot of girls get.

Glad today's a better day. Stay positive. Things will work out.

Hang in there. [QUOTE=owiemom]

And that is precisely why that other door WILL open for you.

I am sorry you had such a nasty piece of work as your boss, karma will catch up with him.

Love to you.... Lyn
