make the beast with two backstard bosses

[Timmy Tucker]

Chiming in from the other point of view...

I'm not a make the beast with two backstard boss, I'm more of an asshole boss. I expect employees to be able to keep up with me while also maintaining my quality standards. Apparently, that's somewhat make the beast with two backsing unrealistic.

So, I generally settle for someone that doesn't slow me down too much and doesn't usually make the beast with two backs up more than 40% of what they touch.

[Big Troubled Bear]

I left my previous job, because I were not qualified enough to put up with the bosses shit

[CairnsDuc]

My boss doesn't talk to me for weeks at a time, my section is right by the main Entrance and he has to pass me 3 to 4 times a day, he just ignores me like I wasn't there.
Frightening part is, the rest of the other Staff are jealous of the fact he won't talk to me 

Typical Chinese owner (I hate to enforce the Stereotype, but this Guy is a typical tightarse chinaman only interested in money) carries on like he has no money, always crying poor, mind you he just bought a 1.2 million dollar apartment and a $200K Mercedes, yet when he comes to work he drives this old piece of shit car to try to hide the fact he has money, he just set up another business (A chinese takeaway - I suggested he call it "The Golden Retriever") And he denies any connection to that as well.
He steals any spivs and bonuses that suppliers send to the staff, he has a room next to his office that is jammed packed with freebies and bonus stock from suppliers, he never uses it, or gives any of it away.

He won't get anything repaired or fixed, regardless of how unsafe it is, "I can't afford to mate, when business picks up I get it fixed" broken ladders, emergency lights that won't work, half the warehouse lights don't work, fire doors blocked.

We had 35 guys trying to use 1 bathroom stall because he wouldn't pay for a blown bulb to be replaced in one down stairs (room was pitch black), and a $2 washer in the other (used $1200 worth of water in 6 months, so he disconnected it!). He won't pay a cleaner to clean the bathroom(s) like the law states he should, If I need to use the bathroom I go home, I'm not putting on a Hazmat suit to use the one shitter still in working order (It needs fire bombing, not cleaning!)

The front/outside of the store is messy and filled with rubbish, we had complaints from other local business's and the local public asking him to tidy it up and have it re-landscaped, we even had a local councillor call in and plead with him to clean it up and have some pride in the town and his business, again nothing done.
Theres a full front plastic bumper assembly in the middle of the garden, number plate still on, it's been there for months!

I reckon he would take candy from a Baby if he thought a dollar or 2 was in it for him!

What's the good word, from erkishoarde?  Do we need to get bail money together?

Luckily the bossman is out of town on vacation for 2 weeks.  Work is so much better w/o him here but I have a few projects due in the next couple days that are really kicking my butt. I did get a new "boss" so to say.

A new PE started on Friday and she's not a whole lot better.  Anytime I have a question she acts like anyone would know the answer and talks to me like I'm a child. Either that or she goes on and on about how Penn. State's Architectural Engineering major is so much better than Cal Poly's and how they learned how to do what I'm asking about there and Cal Poly's program sucks since we didn't learn it.  She's always talking down to me and it's starting to piss me off too. I think my tolerance for people in general is gone. I mean, my luck w/ bosses can't be that bad, right? These people can't be that horrible so it must be me.  Oh yeah, she's also pretty slow. She wanted to hang a header from a beam but I kept trying to explain to her that she couldn't because it would cause the header to stick out of the ceiling (sloped ceiling). I showed her elevations, sections, plans, the 3D model, just everything and she still couldn't get it. 

So how bad is it, really, to leave your job after less than half a year? 

[Sinister]

Touch her in her dirty place...that'll make her leave you alone.  That's my best advice.  Good luck.

If you put it on your resume, you will get asked about it at interviews.

If you show a gap on your resume, you will get asked about it.

It's doable, but make sure you are prepared to answer those kinds of questions.  A good cover letter will also try to explain why you are looking for a new position so soon.

It's not that bad...once. I left my 1st job after grad. school because it sucked. When asked (by my current employer) I was just honest and told them why I left.

Make a habit of it and it becomes bad.

A good cover story will go miles to explain this. Possibly something along the lines of how things got too hot after you knocked up the bosses secretary on his desk, your wife came storming in and explained to the boss why one of his keyboard keys was "sticking" that you felt you were forced to write "I quit" on your butt and xerox it and hang it about the office. It could happen to anyone.
