Quit my job today! I could not take it any longer. My boss came in this afternoon and just started to yell and throw stuff around. I asked him a question about a client contact list and he just went off. He started to pick up papers on my desk and slam them around. He also said thing like "Questions...cant you read..DUH...DUH...do I need to make photo copies for you. It is not that hard. Just follow the directions. The directions were not clear. He continued to yell and scream and be so completey rude for almost 45 minutes. Everytime I tried to say something...he just shhh'd me and kept yelling. He also stated that he is lowering everyones pay b/c he is having finacial trouble and that we are doing commission differently. If I dont like it...then I should sell more. He had also given me friday and Monday off so I could take my son to the mountains and then he said I had to work

I was pissed b/c I just made him a ton of money yesterday.
So, I put my two weeks in and walked out.

With in 10 minutes he left a mesasge on my cell phone asking me to come back. That I was his biggest money maker and he cant lose me. Then he e-mailed and aksed for lunch and stated he went over my "record" and realized I bring in 80% of his buisness. He aplogized for being so rude and crazy.

I wrote him back telling him that I can have a lot of jobs and that I already work two. I do not need his money and I do not work for people who do not respect me. I told him I would honor my 2 weeks notice, but I was taking the long weekend. I told him we could talk when I got back, but that I was pretty sure that he could not change my mind. I made it clean that he was a sexist pig and rude person and that I do not like either of those traits in people and really do not like to surround myself with people like that. His job is one of a million for a person like me.

People say that I have a lot of bargening chips in my favor. That he will suffer a great deal financially if he loses me and I should play that in my favor....to me that is the same as selling out. I would rather fucking scrub toilets than work for someone who thinks he can treat people like that.

So, what would everyone else do? What do you put up with for a decent pay check? What would you have done if you were in my shoes?

On a more positive note...and feeling much calmer ( valium works wonders) I cant wait to go to the mountains with my son. I am going anyway. He gave it ot me off and then changes his mind on the last day. Who does that?

So I can leave early, look forward to a weekend of skiing, reading and chilling in my house in the mountains...best part...no phone!! Hot tub, food, wine and playing snow games with my little man all weekend. It does not get any better than that!
