Sorry to hear that you don't like your job. I know what you mean about woman bosses, I don't like working for them at all. Give me a male boss any day to work for, and I will be much happier.

So I get a job to avoid getting laid off from my previous job, and now this one sucks ass! I think they are trying to sabotage me and force me to curse them out so that they can fire me or something....trust me, I use to think I was just paranoid, but when mgmt starts making up bogus rules that aren't in the policy...for example, you can't sit in the chairs placed outside of your supervisor's door to ask your supervisor a question because the "director" of the dept considers that "wasting company time", can somebody please tell me what isn't more rediculous than that? That is so petty. So I have to keep buzzing my supervisor's phone until they answer so that I can ask if they are available for me to ask a question? I have never heard of such, i've always been able to walk to my supervisor's office and wait outside the door to ask a question if they were with someone already. Next, I came in the office wearing a hat that matched my outfit, it was a professional outfit, it was one of those hats that looks like a train conductor hat, but its cut you know....anywho, I get called in the office on the 4th or 5th time I've worn the hat with the outfit and they say "umm you can't wear that hat anymore because the director doesn't like it...it doesn't comply with the dress code"....WTF? No wearing hats on the 4th floor isn't even in the written dress code...yet others can do it? And to make matters worse...my supervisor is trying to figure out if i'm dating the security guard that works the front desk of the building when its NONE OF HER FUCKING BUSINESS! That's NOT WORK RELATED!!! Who does this bitch think she is? I've never in my life worked a job like this before...when you walk in the doors in the morning, the atmosphere is cold as ice. We aren't allowed to celebrate birthdays, have holiday luncheons..nothing. All because the director doesn't like those things. She's a real bitch. Though i've only worked there since January, i've already started applying for jobs elsewhere. I can't stand being treated like a little ass kid when I'm a grown woman.

There's my rant for the day.

So you hate your job because they don't let you have birthday parties or wear train conductor hats.

Yet you feel they are treating you like a little kid instead of a grown-ass woman.

Hmmm.

We get treated like children at my job. The activities are child like. Like making easter bags with crayons and going outside to look for eggs. I'm a GROWN ASS woman. Management fucked with me cause i had a bad atitude about it. I refused to participate.

My job is all rules...they wouldn't know what to do without them.

This recession is bringing the asshole out of the already asshole bullshit jobs we people need to work because we can't find work anywhere else. My boss tells us everyday how many people were laid off in my city and then proceeds to fuck with us.

It is what it is. I'm walking the straight line and waiting for my firing so that I can collect unemployment and focus all my energy on finding "real" work.

I suggest the same for anyone in similar situations.

Kill your evil bitch boss.

My boss touches me inappropriately.

Most states DO NOT pay you unemployment if you are fired for misconduct which sounds like what they're trying to set up here.

My last supervisor was a male and he was really cool. In fact when I gave my two weeks notice he gave me this big hug and congratulated me and everything, he was happy to see me move on before getting laid off. But now, working for these bitches... If it weren't for my mortgage, I'd quit in a heartbeat.

thanks for the i've had the week from hell. Starting out, this job looked promising, but I quickly found out that I accepted a position in living hell.

One of my friends(straight) had a boss who used to hit on him quite a bit. Both men..., but my friend played it cool. I think my friend was a little scared though.

missfee said:

um...so all female bosses are bitches and all male bosses are really cool That's absurd and almost discredits your complaints in my book.

BUT these rules are idiotic and speak to the incompetent management style of your superiors. Your director is on a control trip, she's afraid of her "underlings" and doesn't know how to treat and respect people as her equals because she is insecure and needs the power boost of telling others how to behave.
