[Back to message list] [Reply to this topic] [Start a new topic] Giving my notice tomorrow, and scared...Posted by: snarkgirl After working for my company for 8 months, I am ready to leave. In the initial interview, I told my boss I would give him a year. I work in a small office, with only seven other employees. Once a week, my boss comes in, and -- this not an exageration -- yells at us to work faster, slams doors, kicks things, and tells us we're not doing our jobs well enough. He frequently gets angry at employees for not doing things that he says he told them to do, but which no one else can remember him ever mentioning. He keeps giving me more and more responsibilities (rewards, he calls them) but doesn't give me more time or more pay to do them. Every so often, he seems to come to his senses and call a meeting in which he tells us that things are going to change. For about a week, things do, and then things seem to get worse, if anything. A few months ago, he made a deal with myself and another employee concerning deadlines. We made or deadlines, but even that first week he didn't make his. He had an excuse, though, just as he always does. I have come to the realization that I do not want, or need, to be in this environment. It's gotten to the point where I can't sleep and am often sick. Today, when I saw his car in the parking lot, I drove around the corner and stayed there until I saw him drive away. I'm worried about tomorrow for a few reasons, though. 1) I don't like confrontation and I KNOW he's going to yell at me. 2) My boyfriend works in the same office, and I don't want him to be caught in the middle. 3) My boss bailed me out of an unfortunate -- not work realated -- incident about three months ago, and I think he's going to hold that over my head. 4) When people have left in the past, he has bad-mouthed them throughout the company. 5) We share a social group. I don't mean within the company, but also beyond it in the community. On researching resignations, all the online stuff tells me not to burn any bridges and make this a positive experience. I'm all for that, but I don't see how. Any help?!
