Subject: [Puptcrit] Crappy bosses and boring jobs


Mathieu,

I'm sorry you're having a hard time at your retail job. I agree with the person who said that you must have threatened this boss in some way for him/her to treat you like that. For some reason these types of people are paranoid that someone younger or smarter will usurp them, when all you really want is a job to help pay the bills.

Probably one of the best things you can do if you feel you're being treated unfairly is to document what is happening between you and the bully. Keep notes as to how the boss is treating you vs. your coworkers, what was the reasoning behind you being put in the warehouse, etc. That way if you get fired by the meglomaniac you will have some sort of proof that you were let go unfairly. I don't know what the Canadian labor laws are. Right now US workers don't have many rights. But it wouldn't hurt if you have to fight them in the future.

Just my .02,

Leslie
