[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread (though depressing) is the best thing I've read in a while. I've always felt like it was just me who was struggling to go to work each day and hated every second I spent there.

I moved to accept a position as a manager/buyer that was completely fictionalized. I do NOTHING all day. Not a thing. I'm supposed to be a manager, but with two bosses who are micromanaging, petty, lying, misleading, and downright abusive I feel like I'm in an asylum.

There is no morale, let alone low morale. The boss talks about everyone behind their back, or makes snide remarks to other employees about someone within earshot. Then the boss acts like everyone is their best friend!  It's insane!  I legitimately think that my boss is a sociopath.

There are other possible legality issues that I've yet to explore in detail. I'm fairly certain that a lot of the staff are taken advantage of in terms of how many hours they work and how they're actually compensated. If you question anything, however, the boss makes your life a living hell.

I stay because, like most previous posters, I have to financially. I look at other jobs constantly. I look at jobs far away.

In the beginning I turned to drinking to handle it. I've stopped that now because it only fuels my resentment, anger, depression, and anxiety. I try to have a positive attitude and I try to keep morale high with the employees, but it's emotionally exhausting when everyone is being mistreated and basically called stupid.

There's a huge staff turnover because no one can deal with our boss. Of course, he refuses to belief it's him and blames whichever staff member most recently left on anything that's gone wrong in the past few weeks or months.

It's awful and I don't want to go back tomorrow. It is nice to see that many people have managed to get out of this same position I'm in. I need to soon before I go berserk. [/quote]
Wow sounds crazy, what industry is this?  What jobs are your coworkers doing where they are being taken advantage of?  Accounting?  Do they know you have hardly any work yet they have too much?  Good luck with putting up with the job.  [/quote]
