That's just about what it amounts to. I've had it at work with the crazy attorney and her antics. Losing stuff (credit cards, money, check books, keys, phones, blackberry, pens, her car!, etc.), blaming others, denying fault, throwing stuff, cursing, leaving food on the floor, forcing me to pick up files from her floor b/c she can't hand them to me, hissy fits with balled fist, late, yelling, etc.

So, I found another job begining June 1st. Gave my notice today. Hope the new job works out. Although its a 9% pay raise, my medical cost more and I have to pay for 1/2 parking. I still come out ahead with $. Pushes to another tax bracket, thus more taxes and possible bit more of a return.

Current employer not happy, they never really are, tho.

Good luck in your new job, Mustang! I would have flown from that lady too.

Good for you Mustang, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to be so nasty to someone trying to help them. Good for you for refusing to take her crap, or those employers either.

Thanks gals. Of course there is a double standard b/c I was told that if I don't give 2 weeks notice I would lose my remaining benefits. I've given 2 weeks notice and am not allowed to take any PTO. Another woman gave 2 weeks notice to take another job and she's allowed to use her PTO. The woman I work for is so hateful, I've had to cancel medical appointments to accomodate her, while she does not. She is hateful and vindictive. She will make my last 2 weeks hell. Three other folk know that too and have suggested that I continue to be diplomatic and with my usual decorum -- walk out with class.

Fingers crossed the new job works out. I will learn and be diligent, not involved in office politics, gossip nor drama. Nose to the grind.

Good for you. I can't imagine who they will get to fill your shoes. Why do bosses think they can get away with treating others that way?

Tell us about your new job. Do you know anyone who works there?

Congratulations, Mustang. Sounds like a great move.

The old boss sounds a bit irresponsible, to me.

Great move, Mustang. NO one deserves the treatment that you are getting. She needs to be dis-barred and NOT in the people business!

Wonder how she treats her clients.

I had a boss once, who, each time he handed us our checks, thanked us for working for him! What a gem! He was so appreciative of our hard work.

They're out there...they just take time to find.

hmmm..that lawyer, well, how's her client portfolio going? Biz up for her? It's her problem and her behaviour is partially a sign of something.

But you outta there soon. So go in style, Mustang.
Best of luck. Is next firm same size? Are you going to be in a different type of role?

Woo hoo Mustang!! I know how much you've hated your job these past few years and it's fantastic that you have a paying escape route.

Yes, go in style. Count down the days and smile.

Okay Mustang! Glad to hear you're making a move. No one should
be treated unfairly! Employees' deserve respect. I hope this
new job is exactly what you want! Prayers and blessings,
