Retail sucks.. Middle Managers suck.. I will never ever work in retail again..

Good job. Life is too short to do something that you hate. My "real" job is okay, but I want to make a living doing what I enjoy, which is writing.

My main job is good,I only do weekends for that now since I took up this summer thing to be able to work with my friends......and I hate my boss so much you wouldn\'t belive it,I made a thread about it a while ago where I blew off some steam.
All I can say is,I\'m happy for you,and belive me......I\'ll be quitting soon.

Be sure to get in his face when you do. I hate people like that so fricking much, just thinking about your story makes me want to rip his godd*mn head off.
Oh and I hope you get a new, better job now kopking.

Ah KopKing, I salute you in your actions....
\'Tis good to have balls of brass and to use them efficiently.
We are all little cogs in the corporate machine, and are looked down upon by the management.
The Stone Roses once went into their record labels office and painted their management when they were unhappy.
Power to the people!!!

Make sure to dig up some knowledge from somewhere on something that he couldn\'t possibly understand (even something you couldn\'t, but just say whatever is there). Maybe that will affect how he treats him employees from now on.
But don\'t go too far, don\'t give him any video game stuff or he could try and tell you the Atari Jaguar is the machine that has unsurpassed realism.;)

Well, it\'s not really cool to just blow the boss off you know. What if you want to get another job.. And they ask for references? You can list your old job and yeah. It\'s not bad quitting, but you should leave on a good note. :D It\'s better to make friends.. That way, you can get stuff. haha

I\'m glad you told the peckerhead\'s off and showed them what was up. :D Too bad you have to go find a new job now. :(

Heh, this reminds me of last night. My local cinema ran some \'old\' Academy Award winning movies, which included American Beauty, which I had (unfortunatly) never seen before. So I decided to catch the theatrical run while I had the chance. And I\'m glad I did! It was really good... heh, I felt all worked up when I left the theatre. :D
If someone here hasn\'t seen the movie yet - go rent it!

I guess u & me are now in the same situation, I\'m looking for a job too, in fact I\'m applying I hope they\'ll take me :D
It\'s my first real job but I know if I don\'t like it, I\'ll be brave & quit! Just like you.

to cut the grass on puplic parks,side of the roads etc...
It\'s fun and I get to hang with my friends and stuff,but I hate the boss,the pay is pure shyte,and it can get hard.
But I\'ve done it every summer for about 3 years now.
My main job is the warehouse for an electronics store,it pays more,and I get to mess around with compootars,TV\'s and all kinds of electronics.

My jobs cool, i\'m working for British Aerospace - buildin planes n stuff.
Kopking, where did u work?

Hey Rick,
Glad you quit the job since you\'re far too qualified to be working that crap. I\'m in a sh!t job right now while I\'m waiting to hear from med school (bills still have to be paid, games still to be bought ;) ) I\'m working in a sticker factory, 7am - 4pm. I have to drag my ass out of bed at 5:30 every day, I\'ve only been working a few days now but it\'s already killing me, the work is so tough it\'s like a friggin sweat shop! On plus side is that it pays fairly well and I get a ton of hours, that said it\'s really (really) tough. I already took tommorow off!!!
Good luck with your job search.
