Is there anywhere you can go to find a job in this town where you can be HONEST with your future employer?
Where during the interview you can say “I know I’ve had a lot of jobs/contracts/whatever, but that’s because I can’t stand working for IDIOTS. So, Ms. Interviewer, if you are an IDIOT, can you let me know now before I waste another year or so of my life working for a miserable piece of shit with ZERO idea how to run a business rather than quit immediately after discovering you’re an IDIOT so my next job doesn’t ignore my resume because I job-hop?”
Honest to FUCK, how do people stay in business in this town? It’s like they lobotomize anyone in a position of authority! And they all seem to hide it until RIGHT AFTER you finish probation! It’s like a fricking car warranty! —Tired of the Stress

what a coincidence, lobotomies are Nova Scotia’s chief business sector…
right behind panhandling, making useless paper, and ‘waiting to build ships’.
So when are you coming… for your lobotomy?
Did you ever stop to think that maybe, JUST MAYBE, the problem is you?? No? Of course not! Preposterous! That’s right. I forgot. You are a business and marketing genius. Fortune 500 material. A mover and a shaker. How else can you explain the boss/management of EVERY JOB YOU’VE EVER HAD being complete and utter idiots? They obviously didn’t know that they had the next big Forbes Magazine cover story under their employ.
Well, may I suggest that since they are ALL idiots, (miserable pieces of shit I think you referred to them as?), and you, clearly, are more business savvy than all of them combined, that you go into business for yourself? (I’m surprised you haven’t already!) It’s a real shame too. You were just a little too late to get your name in to fill the Dragon’s Den vacancy. Then you could have extolled your vast wealth of business knowledge on the poor, unsuspecting idiot bosses you had in the past. They could have finally learned the PROPER way to run a business. Tsk Tsk.
Uh..yeah. I dare say that with the attitude you displayed here, you didn’t leave all your past jobs voluntarily and on your terms. And I don’t think they are ignoring your resume because you job-hop, either. Good luck with your interview. Sounds like you’re going to need it.
You’re a pretty big wheel down at the cracker factory, huh?

OB, I really don’t think any sentence with the word “idiot” will get you a second interview. There are plenty of other job seekers around here willing to kiss employer’s butts and call them ice cream.
You are the idiot.
He’s kind of a big deal.
He has many leather-bound books and…his apartment smells of rich mahogany
People stay in business because their reliable employees know how to buckle down and put up with the managerial shit that every. Single. Job. Always has. All the bosses I’ve had has been some flavour of lunatic with a set of batshit idiosyncrasies. EVERY boss is some flavor of lunatic. That’s just the shit you have to deal with to get paid.
Unless they’re doing something that affects your safety or health or illegal, just suck it the fuck up until it doesn’t look like you’re playing musical chairs.
yep, new managers are cropping up all over this week. but by next week, the o.p., and others will be bitching about how they fucked up the job and their lives in general./ what with all the changes they made.
You “job-hop” and your superiors (who probably have been in their positions for over a month, unlike you) are idiots?
I have always had problems with authority and have considered many different superiors to have been an idiot at least one, while some were just chronically stupid .
You ultimately have to accept that unless you’re the boss, you don’t call the shots. You can have a voice if you hang in for a while, but you need to play by the stupid rules and follow the stupid process if you’re ever going to advance in either life or career.
You can’t quit every time you disagree, kid. It shows lack of maturity, lack of respect, and poor impulse control. Who’s paying your rent now? Your mom? I hope not.
Yeah, what Lou said.
OMG, Survivor is back at the b!tch board ….. perhaps you’ll want to do some bookeeping for a cunt that needs one badly …. working knowledge of an abacus is a requirement.
Sounds like you’ve got too much of what the cat licked it’s ass with. He’s the boss and you’re the employee (aka pissant). Deal with it, bro – collect your paycheck, march your ass to the LC then go home & get crunk.
I do agree with most of the comments, but I have been in situations where the business owner is completely new to the industry they’ve gotten in to and are either too proud or too foolish to actually listen to their employees.
That said, it’s their financial investment, and they can make the choices they want to make. If they go broke at the end of the day that’s on them.
