fed up of boss ?

[slimken]

"My boss tells you what you want to hear to your face, then stabs you in the back the minute you turn...then has the nerve to tell you to stop gossiping!"
"I seriously injured my ankle and was out of work for 2 weeks. My boss acted like it affected her more adversely than it affected me."
"If it isn't his idea, it's not an idea at all. He won't even consider it unless you somehow manage to 'back-door' it in so that he can think it's his in the first place."
"I used to like my job so much that I'd get to work a half-hour early. Now with my new boss, I can barely get myself there on time."
"Depending on my bosses' moods, medications, and love lives, my performance is either okay or bad."
"I used to work for a boss who had trouble with flatulence...and this was one of the more harmless things about her as a boss."
"My boss told me he's manic-depressive, so I have to excuse the way he acts sometimes."
"My boss has issues in the psychological department."
"My boss wrote the book on micromanagement."
"The only thing I learned to do here was a timesheet."
"My boss is the anti-Christ of the workplace."
"The worry and dread that I feel each day is counter to the empowerment, creativity, spark, and spirit that I once had. I am ready to throw in the towel on a 14-year career."
"Why doesn't Darwinism work in the corporate world?"

Barbara is a programmer for over 20 years.
Her [long] list of job changes was directly related to this type of shit!
She works for the State so they have transfered her many times.
Currently she is liking her placement.
If you can, get to the supervisor above your boss and ask for a transfer.
AFter a few more years you will be in a bad way,
no one wants to hire the guys closer to retirement age.
The business world is cut throat.
Jill's dad's loan company moved out of the state to texas {ick!
he was not about to sell his home and move so he tried to get hired some where else.
at nearing 50 yr old, no one wanted him.
Another loan brokerage firm finally hired him on commission, you know what that means? no counting on a pay check.
then, to make it totally unbearable they laid a quote on him he couldn't meet.
The loans he was forced to sell were higher than the market rate!
He had to sell his house and move to a cheaper part of the state.
I don't think he ever found another job after turning 50.

There have been CEO's, heads of successful companies that find them selves out of work and unhireable.
They have too much background is the excuse.
One guy found a job at his local hardware store.
His son went to college just to end up at Safeway (a grocery chain)

I look around me and I take note of
what people are spending their money on
what is marketable these days and in the future?

My Dad's business would be gone, the competition from national chains, Staples, Office Max, etc.. he'd be unable to make rent at those low prices.
MY bar would be much changed, the No Smoking laws for one ..
fire codes have changed, instead of 7 sq ft. per person it is 15 sq ft per person.
A building limit of 50 instead of 100 people means 1/2 the people
& 1/2 the profit of the old days.


Just how can we survive is an excellent question?
