The Hand That Feeds

So I had a long chat with my boss, a clearing of the air if you will and it pretty much was pointless. He is a very cold and calculating person. I now officially hate him. There is definitely room for him to make it up, but he isn't going to change and I am not going to change because I am not the nasty one here he is.

He essentially just hard core embarrassed and made fun of me in front of the whole office again for very poor reasons. He is a very bad manager, he should not be in charge of anyone it is just a bad idea all around. Anyone who follows this blog (no one does) would know I hated my last boss too. Well update on that is, he was reprimanded 7 months after I left the job and a few months later someone else quit too. The hit for losing two very good seasoned programmers cost him one of his projects (the one I was on) stripped from his command because he proved to be an incompetent ass.

The problem this time is my boss is not an incompetent ass, he is very competent, the problem is that he has no people skills. He is very rude and hurtful with his explanations - if that's what you want to call it. His English sucks, so imagine an immigrant speaking a language you don't understand, trying to explain to you very important concepts and instructions in incomplete sentences and just over all broken English. Then when you don't understand him or worse you misunderstood what he had to say, he then has no problem belittling you in front of others. It is very uncomfortable and emotionally draining.

Simply put, I didn't really like my job already, but now I hate my job.

So after giving it a good while to think about it, I will probably have to quit next year after I get all of my vacation and other things out of the way. I am not screwing up my current plans in order to find a new job right now because this spoiled rich asshole is fearless of sending people to hell. Fucking dick weed mother fucker. My biggest problem right now is not sending my boss to hell, I have been mouthing off too much because he is forcing me into a corner and I refuse to not stand up for myself. I've made that mistake before and I am not going to make it again. Playing nice with assholes gets you no respect and gives them license to walk all over you. There is a way to push the envelope without screwing yourself over completely.

I am not willing to let him walk all over me, so I am going to have to stop any personal friendly interaction with him and from this point forward it is purely work related only. I am not going to bother with more than a, "hello" or "good bye". He needs to know that the only thing I am going to do for him from now on is work and it is going to be strict hours from now on. Bad employers who want to rule you by fear are some of the worst kind, it is too bad there aren't laws protecting employees from verbal harassment.
