Going on to better things

Post Reply New Topic

Almost two years ago, I've started working for a landscaping company, cleaning parking lots. It was the best job for me, at the time. The female supervisor was and is still a real prick. She thinks that she's the boss, and she tries to make all the rules. She feels that she can treat everybody the same harsh way, that she treated the prisoners in the jail that she worked at. (She was a prison warden for five years). She tares through the spirits of everybody with her Ego. Four people have already quit, because of her. Now she tells me that I can't listen to music, when I'm working, because of ONE isolated incident, where I didn't hear somebody talking to me, and now her stupid reasoning is, "Your music is too much of a distraction for you." I get more of a distraction from the nasty voices of my childhood going through my head. I've been thinking of moving on, since October and I should have moved on, the day that I felt the need to bring my music to work, in early to mid November. I cut my right shoulder on Monday morning, because of her, the moment after, I've thought about why I can't die, because of my outer and inn beauty. These are the places that I'd like to work:

Beauty salons
Dog grooming salons
Music stores
Factories
Warehouses

Hi CockneyRebel. You have the determination and motivation to do any of those other jobs well. If that is what you want to do, then go for it. Bosses can be like that. I have been through it too. The only thing I can say is---don't cause yourself to get into a situation that is worse for you---like lower pay, worse boss, etc. But, I trust you will do what is right. You must do what makes you happy.

You are a very cheerful person in my opinion. Anytime I see your name come up on a posting, I feel positive. I know you have your problems, and I have them too---but overall, I think we see things positively. Think positively on this and I believe you will come out for the better. Please keep us informed on what happens.

I worked graveyards stocking in a department store. They let me listen to my music, no problems at all. It was ideal.

I came into work with my headset but with ear buds just to see who was working and it was the supervisor. She told me that nobody is allowed to listen to their music at work, anymore because there are cars going in and out of the parking lots. I've decided to stay at my current job. I only work 2 hours a day, 3-5 days a week. That's 90-120 minutes without music. I can handle that.
