BEB, I - along with everyone else - welcome you back! And - also like everyone else - say ... run. You don't need this. Remember, you're so much better than the idiot you work for.

Oh, and a story? You tell me what you'd like and I'll see what I can do!

Wow, BEB. That's some serious love people have posted for you. I'm feeling your pain. My new job bites, too - but not like that.

You were missed. Good to see you again.

Gorram it Alun- i feel for you! I am glad to see you back with us BC's. PM me if ya want to talk. Good luck in finding a new job!

Good to have you back on board. I hope you find a better job soon!

Nice to hear from you, BEB. I was getting worried, and it sounds as though my worry was rather justified :(

Let me say just one thing - your sanity is worth it. Quit.

Tell that insane person exactly why you are quitting, and leave. He wants to see if you can swim? Sounds like he could use a dunk in the deep end himself. You're a nice person, and knowing someone else is going to get the cruddy job sucks. But....you need to leave.

Hugs,
Jet

I've done and seen worse. That being said:

RUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!

And then turn the bastard in for illegal hiring practices.
Guess who's going to get screwed if TPTB find out you're not licensed?
Him? Nope. "He assured me he was qualified".
Don't worry about the next guy, there may not be a next guy.

Congrats on the decent sales record, BTW!

The circus came into town a few weeks back (yeah I know right? They still exists?) I saw the guy who cleans up after the elephants. I saw him stick both arms elbow deep into the massive gaping anal hole of an elephant. I assure you... there are worse jobs out there than yours. But I sympathize. The only thing as bad as the afore mentioned gaping hole of an anus, is a big 'ol butt-head of a boss... but barely.

It's good to see you back! So - that's where you've been.

Really, you're being taken advantage of. You need to look after YOU, your best interests, and your well being. Get out while you can. Find another job where you're happier and less stressed.

And then come unwind on fff.net! :)

Hey, I'm really glad you're back, I was just wondering the other day where your lovely lil' comments were. They always make me happy! It really sucks to hear you're having it so bad, but like everyone else has said, look after number one. If it's really making you this unhappy (and taking away from your Browncoat time) then you really should just get out of there.

I want BEB back, godamnit!!!!!! :(:(:(

Run. Now.

Been there. Done that. Found out last two people in my job had quit due to nervous breakdowns. Hence workplace could not recruit internally, since nobody would touch the job. So they advertised a lower paid post and then sidestepped me in on my first day. I had no training. And I never did get the proper pay grade.

After I started being sick at least twice a day, and blacked out in the car on the way home (oh, look at the pretty lights... OHMYGODONCOMINGCARS!!!!) The doctor took my car keys away and told me basically I was off sick until I got another job. The alternative was clinical dperession, and you don't want that on your resume.

Sounds to me like this a**hole is taking advantage of you - hiring you on illegal like, skimping on the training, and having you do wiring and stuff... and I'm sure you're not getting paid near enough for all that you're doing!

I say - get out there and look for something esle! It's not your job to take this idiot's abuse, just so it won't fall on others... and, you could always turn him in to some bad employer bureau thingy. Now *that* would be the way to make sure he doesn't put anyone else through this!

P.S. to add, Get while the gettin' is good.

All I can do is echo what the others have said.

I have to add, though, that maybe you know now why the person you replaced left in the first place...

I worked in the same scenario and all I can say is, start looking for another job. Get that in place before you leave.

A guy like that is going to bury himself but not before taking EVERYONE around him down with him.

Hey not your problem to worry about who comes behind you. Maybe they'll be a good fit for the job and happy...you take care of you:) HUGS and find a new jobs soonish 'cause we miss you:)

Glad you're back, sorry for your troubles and please don't disappear like that again!

Missed you lots!!! I was beginning to wonder where in the verse you were! Don't go all hidey on us again!!! Imight get another worry ulcer!

Really good to see you and you have been missed. Especially in the Blue Sun Room.

BTW I'd follow EmpireX's advice and look for another job or at least a better boss.

Who's to say the next guy will have less experience than you in the car industry... maybe (just maybe) he'll hire an insanely overqualified sales assistant who will temper his mood swings and turn him into a saint! Maybe he'll marry Yolanda, er, um Saffron, no, I mean Bridget, and end up losing the whole lot anyway and no one will have to worry.

Stay strong. Be true to your heart. As long as you're still flying, it's enough... about when you start "landing with unintentional gusto" is when you gotta think about jumping ship.
:)

BEB, you are too nice - worrying about the next guy and how it would be even worse for him? You're a saint. I would recommend that you look for another job. But don't quit until you've got the next job in the bag.

I feel your pain. I've got 2 jobs. It sucks being a grownup.

Welcome to my world. Glad to see you're still flying with us, though.
