Here's mud in your eye!
Keep this thread alive, folks. Thanks and good night.
Trying to still be,
Silly
This is Bloggers/Personal not for this area
I think you can reasonably give your cell phone number ( if you don't have one, it's not expensive to get one) and your home e-mail ( even if it's an @yahoo.com or whatever). Prospective employers understand if you don't want to be called at work and with the prevalence of cell phones this is reasonable. (I don't recommend giving them your home number as the number to call, because then they WILL wonder why are you always home when they call you, but with the cell phone they wouldn't give it a second thought).
As for the reason, why you are leaving, you can say that there is a "personality conflict" a euphemism for your not getting along with your boss, but it's something that is known to happen and they won't hold it against you -- especially, if you have several previous jobs you can point at, where you stayed longer and had not had any problems.
Good luck in your job search.
Silly, I can't make it to the bar on Friday. I'm in Minnesota. But I will be raising a brew to you via the computer monitor at around 5:00 P.M. Eastern.
I already shot up a prayer for you.
About nine years ago (God, how time flies!) I got canned. The bosses that I worked for were an irrational idiots. Being that I was young and dumb at the time, I would smart off back to them. I suppose that I was asking for it, but then again so were they. It was a hell hole. It was depressing to go to work everyday. I would get migraines just thinking about the damn place and how to deal with the damn idiots. I actually lost a lot of time from work due to the migraines. In any event, after looking for 7 months for a job in that region (northern Minnesota - where there is a perpetual depression), I finally decided to move to the twin cities. After doing three job interviews in the first day of my visit, I got three job offers. I learned that the twin cities where not as bad as what I supposed. It was the best thing that could have happened to me.
But all of this is superfluous. That point is that things can and do turn around on a dime. You already got through the worst part, things can only start improving.
Life is good and it keeps getting better!
Darn!
I'd love to be there, Silly. I have no car today! Plus I've already made commitments for today.
I'll be with the spirits.
I mean I'll be with you in Spirit.
Do it again in a couple weeks (next Friday being Good Friday) and I will get there whatever it takes. We are talking Manhattan are we not?
I am in Italy so I will be there in spirit and prayer. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. There have been times when I was at my wits end because of some abusive boss. Although it was only verbally and never physical. I can't believe that your supervisor is not in jail. I know this might be hard to believe at this time, but things will get better. I am so thankful that you have decided to get another job. You will most likely feel a million pounds lighter. Good luck to you. You are doing the right thing. You had to put up with your supervisor for over a year, she has to put up with herself forever. She sounds very insecure and mean.
Best of luck and good luck on your job search.
Bummer. I'm not in the city today Silly otherwise I'd be there.
Usually, I can head into NYC on Friday evenings, but not today. I will pray that you find a new job soon. I would follow the advice of others on the thread and find a successful, experienced labor lawyer who is willing to take the case on a contingency basis. She definitely went over the line with physical assault.
She actually struck you? That's outrageous. Definitely the boss from hell. I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time, Silly. I hope things look up for you soon.
I'm not feeling well, so I won't be able to go to the pub tonight. Hope to see you next time, and under more favorable circumstances. Hang in there. :-)
Why don’t you have a lawyer?!
I just read your story and you have my sympathy. I would have shown up for this, but I haven’t had the chance to log in for over a month.
I hope things have turned around for you, that is you have a new job, or your criminal boss was gotten rid of.
Best regards,
CT
