I just lost ANOTHER job

[Digit]

At first, it was great, like a honeymoon. My boss had warned me that when he became stressed...he became "bossy". Well, I would not classify it as "bossy". I tried to give him a message, and as I handed it to him, he RIPPED it out of my hand. It was so abrupt, it startled me.
He was downright scary at times, and I told him so today as he let me go. He said he had warned me in the interview, but he did not give his moody times real representation. He scared the shit out of me at times.
I let him know I had already applied for two other jobs as well.

My co-worker today was making snarky remarks about gays, asking who was the "man" in a lesbian relationship regarding our customers. I did not join in the conversation, but my boss did. I was only quietly getting pissed off. I am not gay, nor even bi-sexual, but the fact that people were being judged was ticking me off.
Anyway, I was let go today, early, and paid through the end of the month.
Fuck you very much.

1. Best of luck with the 2 other applications, Digit.

This sounds crappy, and not a job loss to cry over, if, of course you cna find another.

2. You don't need a job like that!

What a hideous environment. I hope you find something much better very soon. Hang in there Digit.

3. How do people w/poor anger mgmt like that get to be supes?

If it's any consolation Digit, I was asked not to come back last night from a position I hadn't had for two days. I was working as a secretary/personal assistant for a consultant. Yesterday she screamed at me in front of a client for "breaking her printer." After the client had left, I told her that I was an adult and wanted to be treated as such (what I didn't say is that she needs to quit buying cheap ass equipment, but I wanted to). So after a very LOOOONG discussion that went nowhere, she told me that she was the way she was and she couldn't change. I told her that she was the only one she COULD change. She sent me home early and then called around 7 last night to tell me not to come back, since it wasn't a good thing we had a "personality clash" so early in our association (yeah, like I'm just supposed to sit back and take her tantrums).
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. :hug:

4. Um, he OWNS the business (I was one of only two employees)

I watched What The Bleep Do I Know yesterday, and today I just began laughing. Sitting in my kitchen, LAUGHING!

The picture had entered my head of my co-worker constantly talking to herself, my boss walking around barefooted, while brushing his teeth, and I just cracked up.

The odd thing, is...this really WAS one of my days in this office!

The whole thing was absurd.
Guess I am in a better spot than I was when I posted the first message.

You don't deserve to be treated like that, either!

5. You know, the best revenge is living well.

And when you get a job with a good boss and don't have to deal with the daily stress of out of control authority, you win.
