Dealing With Difficult People

Still seeking new work but no luck yet. Bad time to be job hunting. Anyhow, things here have not changed. Getting worse! Overheard him on phone with wife yesterday am. They were talking about more vacations coming up besides the one I put in my 1st post. They are not telling me when and will not get paid. These trips will be at least a week. For those who read my lengthy original post on this place, when you recieve a new job offer and if he does not pay for his trips when I can't work, would u "kindly" give HIM 2 weeks notice? I am salary remember.

Also, he is in process of putting together legal contractors for the installers. He wants to backdate them 2 months! Having problems with jobs due to poor installations. He wanted me to sign that date on them. I told him why can't the installers do that when they come in to place their signature on it?

I am feeling extremely uncomfortable here but have no choice until I land a new job. Help!

Hi western girl. I would say to stay there but actively seek other employment. Do not give up. I know you are in a situation which is not secure but  still you have some income.

It might be a good idea to supplement with a part time job. But do look for full time because your bosses situation does not sound very secure. Keep us posted. MaryAnne

Would you give him your 2 week notice when yo ureceive a job offer if he stiffs me on pay when he goes out of town?

Last Wednesday, the boss went into the other guy's office and told him quietly(he didn't want me hearing him) he wasn't planning on being in on Friday. Wouldn't tell me. The next am, I figured he was in a good mood so I would casually ask him if he may be taking time off in the near future with the holidays around the corner. Feel him out. Told him I need to plan a head since I won't be getting paid when he is gone. He looked to his left and gave me a long no. Said he knows of nothing and hopefully he will have work for me to do. LIAR! I told him I can't afford to be off 1 day without pay as you know I am walking a fine line with what I make, not to mention I am salaried.

Ten minutes after I sat down working, he said he was going out of town that weekend and will only be in a few hours on Friday. I said, what does that mean for me? He said we will have to find something for you to do hopefully in the next few days. Can you believe him? Flat out liar! You didn't remember the time your taking off 10 minutes ago and from the ay before telling the other guy you will be out? He doesn't care about me and knows I am not making it working here as it is. Then to do this. He is just taking advantage of me!
