"Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go."
I keep running into these situations and jobs where the boss is on a power trip. When you first hire into a job, and I don't care what job it is, there is a period where they train you and you get oriented to how they run their business.
At this time I am working with one of the people that Don works for as a maintainance person and I am helping her get her office and reception together. She has this issue with trusting people and plans on being like Oprah.... Well of I can see that and understand about the trust thing... But I am not even able to go to the office and set up... instead I have been working out of my office in my home trying to get her things going. Its been a month now and I still haven't gotten paid for the administrative work... phone calls from my house and personal cell in order to set up maintainance calls for Don... not to mention the word processing and desktop publishing she has had me do. I am sick of using my ink, my printer, my computer, my phone, my internet serivce, My gas, My car.... to get all of this shit done...
I got a phone call from her yesterday and she was perturbed that I wasn't saying "Thank you" enough while on the phone with her. She went on a tirade about how she wants her office people to be professional and talk a certain way... Well lady First off I am not in your office... I am working from my home. Second, I am more than professional when talking to clients and possible customers.
It all started when she asked me to get quotes for parking signs and such from the local sign stores. I called 5 to get a good range of prices to compare and one I had written the number somewhere but it wasn't on hand when she called to ask. She went into the first tirade about she expects her office people to be ready with the info that she needs....
What part of "I AM NOT WORKING IN YOUR OFFICE" Does she not get...
I don't have to do this on my time... I don't even have to work for her...
So I have issues typing her letters and calling her people when I haven't been paid yet... I even made better letterhead for her company and it looks more professional than what she had...
I cannot work for someone that makes me feel less than a person. She mentioned to me that there are several other people that are standing in line that want the job more than me... Well to tell you the truth... I am not handing all my work over to her and then have her fuck me over.... I am not setting up her office paperwork wise and then not have a job after... Thats stupid and I refuse to have anyone make me feel as if I am not good enough for the job yet... I am the only one that is doing the job for her...
So if I give up... I feel that I am stronger. I worked the last 2 and a half years of my life that made me feel less than dirt and I refuse to lose myself and to feel that way again.
I am not going to give my goodies away with out the ring... or better yet he he... you ain't getting the milk and cheese without buying the cow first.
PEACE...
