How are you feeling?

[MikeyC]

yeah, cattiness is very unprofessional. i kind of see a trickle down from the vice president. the vice president sometimes acts hostile. maybe my supervisor thinks it's ok, too? idk, that's all i can think of. they all scare me!

I can imagine. Sucks you have to put up with that kind of environment.

No doubt. There have been countless times I have wanted to decapitate my boss for various reasons - some not even my fault - but I've had to refrain from spitting venom for losing my job. I know that my job is the cause of some of my depression and there's absolutely no way out. I'm not alone, and it would appear that I'm in the majority, much like you.

I have been on holidays for nearly a month but I go back to work on Sunday and I couldn't be less enthusiastic about it because I don't want to go back. It's as simple as that. I'm almost hoping for some kind of injury that will make me stay at home so I don't have to go back. (Most of) the people are quite nice there, but it's just my boss and her bosses that make it miserable for me. Also my co-workers like to stop and chat about random crap and I just want to get on with it. It's annoying.

Seeing as I'm depressed right now, it makes it even harder to go back with renewed enthusiasm.

LOL!!! I can relate to a few of the rants (although directed more at a couple of co-workers than the boss):

RANT:
Wish my boss and co-workers had been on that cruise ship. I'd stand on the shore and wave bye-bye!

RANT:
To say that my boss is a douche bag is an insult to feminine hygeine products.

Is this the usual amount of time off you get for vacation? It's tough to take off more than a week around here!

@1blacksheep lmao at the cruise ship one HAHA

Wow, that is really interesting to read many of those experiences.
Firstly it is reassuring to know that I am not in the minority to have had to put up with a psychopath or a bully for a boss. Then you feel disheartened to read that is so common. ::

This is the longest time I've had off in a very long time. Usually it's about 8 or 9 days. Not enough to do anything.

I'm too embarrassed to say what I feel at the moment. :: *deep sigh*

So how did you manage to get a month off?

Ugh - I really need to get to sleep because I have to work tomorrow. Yuck.

psychopath or a bully for a boss.

Unfortunately, I think these are some of the job requirements to be a boss - lol! I've only had like one or two bosses that weren't total ***holes!

So how did you manage to get a month off?

I hadn't taken time off for about 8 months and it's Christmas and New Year's holidays so it basically all just panned out that I could take all this time off so I gladly accepted.

I don't hate you, if that matters at all.

As long as you're not a psychopath or bully, they probably don't. Some people just aren't cut out for management (myself included!).

I imagine that you're a pretty likable "grand poobah" though!

Honestly, really insecure, stupid, unloved, and depressed. And insanely fed up with SA.

What's making you feel all these negative things?
