    OUCH. I feel for you there.

    When your boss is in the Douche Canoe wearing his Asshat everyday.

    When your boss says that the time you missed while your mother was hospitalized and dying was "really hard on everyone here."

    Yeah. I'm really sorry to inconvenience you all with that.

    my old job...listening to this chick talk non-freaking-stop about all her drama, life, hubby, hair-styles, clothes etc...literally 7 hours a day. then complaining that she was so busy and never had time to do her work. SHUT THE EFF UP and get to work for more than one hour...you WOULD get your work done. she didn't last long....

    1. When you have mental breakdowns on a weekly basis.

    2. When you get told in your year review that you were expected to work more overtime, when you had been pulling 60 hours a week already.

    When after not getting a raise in years, you finally get one... and it's for 5 cents an hour.

    Thank you, Mr. BossMan. That two dollars a week will really help.

    When you have been keeping a death bed vigil at the hospital with your grandmother every morning before work and during your lunch, only to have your boss say, "are you going back to the hospital at lunch today" (lunch is still personal time, right??)? Because I need you to review some reports so we can send them out later today.

    So you don't go that day....And that would be the day she died....during your lunch break.....

    When you clock out to go home and start counting the minutes of freedom until you have to come back. Always a sign that its time to leave.

    When a disgruntled, unpaid, contractor's mother contacts you as you are "office manager" (in title only) and implies explicitly that they are with the mob, dropping family names and telling you they have no trouble driving down to Philly to resolve the problem.
