pure dread
Even in my worst days at Redner’s, never have I had the kind of sinking-pit-in-the-stomach feeling that I get each morning when I know I have to go to work. I could deal with the disrespectful comments from the waiters and busboys, and the pure ignorance from my male boss, G…. But I am seriously on my last legs with my female boss, B. The other night, the last thing she said to G was, “You’re going to get people fired,” referring to something she imagines I did or did not do that apparently I was supposed to.
Earlier, I started thinking about it, and I decided I was at the point where if something happens tonight, I’ll just quit–this past week has been the pure hell icing on the cake of eternal damnation. But then, I thought, I’d rather she fire me.. then at least I could collect unemployment. And then I remembered the way she doesn’t hesitate to lie about anything and everything to avoid costing herself money… I actually broke down crying in the shower. This is no fucking way to live… crying just at the thought of going to work? I keep telling myself, only three more months… but I don’t even know if I could last that long…
God grant me the strength…
I used to feel that way everyday going to work. It’s such a horrible feeling.

I will pray for you! I used to work at Papa John’s, and I know how it is to dread going to work and dealing with idiots who have less than half of your personality, intelligence, or future. Life’s too short, and there are better jobs out there. Good luck! 🙂

I’m pretty sure there isn’t a single work-related situation that can’t be solved by taking a dump in someone’s desk drawer. This is how adults handle things.

Unfortunately, there seems to be sh*theads at most jobs. Especially in food service. Be strong!

If you don’t have time/can’t get another job; I suggest the most enjoyable solution: Fight fire with fire. She wants to be a bitch to you, be one to her. Talk trash about her, complain to her boss about what she does. Instead of taking her bs, sling it back at her. Don’t go up to her and call her a bitch, be subtle about it. Turn it into a game. Who can do the worst to the other. Robert

That’s how I felt before I left the bookstore. I would literally cry the night before because I just new if a certain manager was there she was going to make my shift absolute HELL. The day I quit I felt AMAZING.
