Oh sweetheart....I know that feeling. When we are under appreciated and essentially a mat that people feel the need to wipe their feet on after they've stepped in a big pile of dog shit. And it's not even a pretty mat..it's one of those dollar store pieces of shit mats that they make you feel like........OH YEAH...I'VE BEEN THERE. So, what is there to do? Two choices, really...make damn sure they know they can't treat you like that or continue to be the door mat for them. Get your ducks in a row..make a list and make sure it's accurate. Your performance at your job...have you been a good employee...do they have reason to bitch? I say this because of this: if you've held up your end of the deal and they still get in your shit for having a life outside work, get right back in their shit. Everybody has emergencies now and then...and any boss in his right mind wouldn't jump your ass for taking care of that emergency. So....stand up for yourself. YOU ARE NOT A DOOR MAT...YOU ARE A STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN....if, after you've stood your ground, he fires you....head straight to unemployment...Nobody deserves to be treated like a door mat or made to feel inferior to somebody else. He may be the boss but he is a person just like you...no better, no worse...(well, probably worse because he's an asshole) but you get what I mean...

Too many bosses have no appreciation for the people who work for them..bust their ass for them...make them a shit load of money. We are just a number to them.....

You are valuable and don't ever let anybody convince you otherwise.

Love ya sweetheart...hang tough..

I have NEVER worked a job and not impressed the big shots. I work my ass off for that dick face. When I took the job, his work was backlogged 3 months. Within 2 months I had him organized and caught up. He is still caught up...he's just an ass.

Good..that makes you a valuable asset and you may just have to remind him of all the work you've done for him...how hard it would be to replace you? You hold the cards girl...Now let the bastard have it.

Just remember, my beauty, that you are not what you do. You do what you do because of who you are... I always tell my girls to smooth their duck feathers down and let the sxxt slid right off because that is really all it is...sxxt. Don't take on any more crap and don't let the a-hole rent any space in your head. Get a big jar and start a "Kentucky or Bust" fund. And when you leave shake the dirt from your feet...it is a big world out there....:) ((((HUGS))))

"I really would like to just set this entire god foresaken state on fire and just walk away."

May I take part? I'm always up for setting some shit on fire. Then you, me, and Tony Ray can all dance on the ashes. Georgia will be the next place we set ablaze though.

Thank you.
And I hope you feel better:(

Memo to Dept. of Health
To whom it may concern,
You have been telling us to stay home from work when we are sick. I did just that yesterday and was harassed beyond means by my boss.
I am sending this memo in hopes that you can inform me as to how to deal with such a person when I am only trying to do my part in helping to keep others from getting ill.
name

This now gives you a paper trail.

i would say to send him one also but the repercussions could be stronger than what already happened.

Go back to work while still sick and drink out of his coffee cup.......

Behind every sorry ass male boss there is a woman bailing him out.
