The mere thought of going to my job each day literally made me sick to my stomach. My bosses have a tendency to select an employee of the month to harass, and this time it was my turn to be on the receiving end of their unjustifiable wrath. NO JOB is worth being abused on a daily basis. I just could not take it anymore.
I was pushed to my limit when they wanted to call for a meeting to discuss the alleged complaints they had about me. However, I - at no time - had anyone complain about my work until this fat, lazy and incompetent person was assigned to work with me. I had enough.
I went to my office an broke down, wondering if I could finish out the day. A switch went off in my head and there was turning back. I made the decision to quit - without giving notice. I took my ID and pager and went to the Directors office and slapped it on her desk and as I turned away, I said, "I'm quitting". I didn't have another job lined up so it was probably not the best way to exit. ALWAYS have a job lined up when you essentially tell your employer to go screw themselves. But God it felt good at the time.
The good news is that I was offered another position elsewhere.
Why is it that bosses enjoy making peoples lives hell? Here we are trying to the best job possible and these idiots just want to beat us down? What's with these people?

Hi
I know exactly how you feel. I too expereinced a situation a few years back and even though you know it's wrong to leave without having a new job to go to, some times there is only so much you can take.
In that time, it's also good as your able to relax and find your self during your 'me ' time.
Well done any how!
Your dignity is much more important. If a peaceful and reasonable talk doesn't work with the boss, try again, and again. At some point, if the person can't be reasonable, you should stand up for yourself even without having another job lined up.
Hi Reasons and anonymous! Reasons, interesting that I got your email today because I just started my new job today. It felt great to go to work without feeling sick to my stomach for a change.
I appreciate your input. My old bosses were absolutely impossible to talk to. Trying to reason with them or even give an opinion would invariably result in some kind of retaliation. Yhe place just sucked.
Hi
I have just experienced the same issue. After several efforts, i have come to the conclusion that it simply isn't working. Often you will find that your up against the big boys and to fight will take serious money for lawyers. Mgmt do not like staff sticking up for them sleves as they then regard you as trouble.
I hope you much luck in your new role!
