fucking boss
    #7532306 - 10/18/07 05:39 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I'm in a skilled trade as a welder/fabricator. I'm 20, still in trade school, and am working for the princely, and most generous sum of 7.25/hr [less than I made at 15 :thumbdown:]. So I'm pretty humble, I figure the money doesn't matter because I'm learning so much it should lead me to a better job. But I have never, EVER had a boss who was as much of a stingy, self-righteous douche as I do now. The guy is so fucking stingy, that he has me re-use dirty paper towls, he literally keeps every single thing he has accumulated in his entire life [pack rat mentality], and is charging a coemploy and good friend of mine 1/4 of his income per month to store his car on his massive fucking lot. Seriously, when did VALUE become more important than VALUES. Do employers realize when you abuse and alienate your employees they will not like you? Don't they realize when they give you a minimum wage they should pretty much expect minimum effort? He also takes it upon himself to thoroughly impress me with his extreme work ethic [he puts in 120 hours a week, and looks like a complete trainwreck most days, all in the name of productivity]. The fucker's a workaholic and looks down on people who don't feel like spending their dying days in a machine shop. It doesn't help the bastard is an endless broken record and let's me know when I've made a mistake and how many pennies it's cost him not once, not twice, but 82,000 times. /endrant /quitlife /fuckwork :banghead:

You ought to find a new job.  I worked with alot of young welders over the summer, and they were making $20/hr or so for welding.  Not to mention, they were treated like Gods. If you can't leave this job, for some reason, hang in there until you can, because there are plenty of good jobs for talented welders/fabricators.:cheers:

Thanks man that's pretty much my plan. I'm quitting in 2 months to move home to Seattle but really can't do it right now, just don't have time to find a temp 2 month job. But yeah, the experience there is very, very good and is a good supplement for schooling - so it's not all bad. I've been offered work @ 29.50/hr to start so it's painful to work somewhere you know you're just getting terribly dogged on pay at. Welding is a good trade if you want to work hard and accept you're going to make a lot of mistakes.

Find a new job. That sounds like shit. I can lay carpet & make $34.50/hr but it's hard labor... atleast I don't have to work with some douche like that.

It is shit - the guys who work there consistently are fucking nuts - no joke. There are guys double, and triple my age there making the same pay as me. The only real redeeming feature in this job though is that very occasionally I get to learn a new skill, but most of the time I wander around constantly watching the clock waiting to fucking leave.

the owner of my company is the biggest jew i have ever known. he has two houses, might as well be mansions, 8 cars, two of which are corvette z08's, owns property and shit all over the place. and he is the same way. makes you re-use the most ridiculous shit, rounds your time down to the nearest half hour(if you are hourly, fortunately i am not), and always gets people from the shop to come out and do shit for him on his property, like last week, work fell through two days, so he chimes in over the construction manager(who was about to tell me and my partner that we can have the day off), and says oh, they can come out to my property and help build a retaining wall out of old train track ties. fucking busted our asses two days in a row for a measly $10 an hour. we were so pissed. he had us build the wall around his new house so he could save money on dirt. fucking jew.

my boss and this guy would get along famously. there's probably nothing worse than having a day off and getting called in for some obnoxiously stupid shit, or having a boss/supervisor just take some stupid little shit and blow it out of proportion. oh to be self employed.

edit: as far as being stingy though - seriously, I'm not aware of anyone that could ever top my boss. His life revolves around the bottom line, and whether or not something that is worthless now will reveal itself to him 20 years later. He has probably a square mile covered in shit, file cabinets, semi-trailers, old tires and fucked up cars, twisted piles of metal and shelves, and 100+ shopping carts among other things. My first junker cars at 16 and 17 were better than the daily drivers of pre-historic shit he constantly rebuilds with parts cars [old land cruisers - while they ARE very cool, 99.9% are fucked and rusted to shit and beyond] People and their priorities :banghead:

oh yeah? did your boss cut 401k contributions because of "tight funds" and "poor economy" only to go on a qail hunting trip in chile a few weeks later? lol. i donno. this guy has done some things that i think could rival your boss. only difference is this guy REFUSES to be a workaholic, he makes everyone else do it for him. motherfuckers always crying about money, yet hes having an even larger house built than the one he already has.

when i move in january, and finally quit this wretched company, hes going to get an earful. he thinks he has it tough with his 8 cars and two houses and international vacations, trying living the life of one of your employees motherfucker!

damn you rabbit, now youve got me all riled up!

you're right your boss does sound worse haha. i can't give an earful because i just don't have enough good references yet to afford it - not that i haven't told off some employers [haha...and even a customer] before. but hell yeah man give him a piece of your mind, or better yet - just slack off and collect? All I know is the best boss is yourself, so that's what I'm striving for :thumbup:

oh hes going to catch a piece of my mind. oh, and i completely forgot what happened last week in the office. he laid off two people, who have been loyal, dedicated employees for nearly 10 years. one of them is near retirement age, i think he had less than 5 years to go, he has some lung condition that requires him to be on oxygen, but its ok, it doesnt interfere with his job because he was service department manager, all office work. well apparently he had to go to the hospital for an entirely unrelated incident and someone started a rumour that he was goin on disability and all kinds of shit, well he hired someone who has absolutely no experience(for less pay) to replace him, and after a week of being back he let him go. the other person was the lady right below this guy, she knew enough that she could have taken over for the other guy, well she was about to take maternity leave in a few months, someone started a rumour that she was going to quit after her maternity leave, well she wasnt, shes actually a decent friend of mine and i know for a fact that she was counting on this job when she came back. mother fucker let them both go for two completely untrained, unskilled lower salaried douchebags. grrrrrr.

that's straight fucked up for the both of them. crush some careers to save some pennies - what a people minded guy :crankey: you know what kills me though is everytime someone tells you how you have to bust your ass, and that work shouldn't be fun that's why it's called work, and that if you aren't feeling like shit you aren't doing it right. fuck that, work can and should be fun - no one should hate their boss, alienated assembly line workers shouldn't have to fear being fired for speaking up because they're completely replaceable. where the fuck are the unions at :banghead:

capitalism may be a good system for competition, but it comes at a price for sure
