I have had 3 jobs. One lasted for 5 years, one lasted for 3 years and one lasted for a month and a half. I decided for the sake of my resume to just leave the month and a half duration job off my resume. If you hate it, leave. Nothing is worse than waking up in the morning to go do something you hate. And nothing feels better than walking away from what you hate! I Norma Rae'd my last boss and it felt great.

Ooh! You should be Eowyn. Yes. And, also, start looking for a new job now. It could take a year, but at least you would be actively pursuing somehting that didn't suck as much. And also, I hate your boss. And mine. And lastly, I miss you tons and I promise to update veddy veddy soon. Mwah.

Ouch, what a litany of things that suck about your job. I am afraid I am feeling very similar about my own job. I am a college grad with over eight years of steady work experience and I have had three interviews since starting a serious job hunt in August of 2003. The job market is bad, and I am kind of stuck in a rut financially if I quit my job without another lined up, so it can be frustrating. I think you'd be wise to begin your search for a new job. Good luck~

Girl, leave that job! There's no good reason to deal with that kind of bad behavior from a boss. I just read an article in some magazine about how more and more employers are spying on their employees and they can see every single thing you do online, they can listen to your phone conversations and they can listen to your voicemails as well as read your email. Who has the time for all that is what I want to know? Good luck!

Oh, sweetie. I am so sorry your new job is turning out to be such a big pile of shit. Would you be able to look for a new job on your lunch hour? I agree with the mayapple; just knowing that you're in pursuit of something better can sometimes help you get through a shitty day at work. I can stay online all damned day, so let me know if you want any help with your job search. Ha, I look for jobs for most of my friends every day! I should be a headhunter. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear your new job is a big pile of suck! I'm with everyone else who left a comment - I'd definitely look for another job. And, who says you have to put this job on your resume? It's only been three months, so I don't think you have to. And hey, with the job market the way it is, I can't imagine that employers would look negatively on a short work experience for one job. It's been happening quite often, so maybe the stigma of that has worn off. Besides, you need to get out of your current hellish position. I say look. Good luck!

Leave. As fast as you possibly can. It's one thing if you are job-hopping every few months, but you won't get dinged for one shit job. Start looking for jobs yesterday. Really. I had a boss like yours (at my last job) and I was almost ready to quit and go back to working at the grocery store I worked at because I couldn't handle the lady. She did the exact same passive-aggressive bullshit, and would always ask one employee "do you know where so-and-so is", basically making us spy on one another. Good luck, and you have my deepest sympathies. Really.

It will look worse if you stay a year and then leave. People understand when you go on interviews and they ask you why you're leaving after only 3 months and you say, "It wasn't working out." It's long enough to try something before becoming so enmeshed that you screw your current employer over by leaving. And hey, with the addition of receptionist duty, your job has morphed into something that was not discussed in your interview. That's reason enoughto leave right there, without saying anything to a potential employer without sounding like you're stabbing your current one in the back.

they have thought about spyware here at GiantCorp... but then they'd have to fire everyone. we have very busy periods and very slow periods. the busy periods are uber stressful so when things are slow they are more than happy to have us feign usefulness by dallying on the web... okay, i'm not helping. it never hurts to look. don't jump just to jump because the new job could be worse. best of luck.

I told you, you should have at least interviewed here at my workplace. The pay is insulting, but at least the people are not! Remember, someone we both know who quit a gig after about 3 months. She's been rehired & sounds fine now. Even though it did take her a while... I guess I'm with everyone else who says, start looking. I'll watch for something here.

NEW JOB! NEW JOB! I have been there, done that, and usually you'll find that if you stick it out, you just stick through more and more bullshit that gets worse every day. Start looking now so hopefully when you're tearing your hair out and ready to go postal on your boss, you can quit and go to something other than the unemployment office. :)

Help, help! You're being oppressed! My advice? Run away! Run away! This bunny will nibble your bum.

I'm with everyone else -- find a new job. That whore of a boss is never going to improve. I once quit a job after three months. In the interview process after that, I made up a bogus explanation about the company not having the money to keep my position and everyone bought it. And you have the bonus of the truth -- your job is not actually meeting the job description for which they hired you. I leave my three month job off my resume and no one has ever asked about a three month gap. Good luck!

You should leave. Your boss is a freakshow and she always will be. Sometimes when one has a boss who is a freakshow, it's amusing. Other times, it is not. She doesn't sound amusing. You are TOO GOOD for that job. I mean it. Fer real. To amuse you, I will tell you a work related story. At my job, we are no longer scheduled by humans. Instead, we are scheduled by a gem of a computer called (and I'm not kidding), Blue Pumpkin. Blue Pumpkin tells us when to work, when to take a coffee break (usually 10 minutes after arriving or 10 minutes before leaving with 7 hour stretches in between, but I digress), and Blue Pumpkin pays us. So on Monday, December 29, Blue Pumpkin told me to work from 10-6 and because I'm broke and desperate, I did 2 hours of overtime from 8-10. It was a torturous and horrible day. Then Blue Pumpkin did not pay me for it. "Payroll person," I said, "I did not get paid for this day." "Karen," she said, "Blue Pumpkin says you weren't here." Me: But I was. Her: No, you weren't. Me: I can tell you what I was wearing if that helps. Her: No. Me: I KNOW I WAS HERE. Her: No you weren't. Me: I WAS! Her: No, you weren't. Me: Fine. Next day: Her: Oh, I found out that you did work after all. Blue Pumpkin was looking at the WRONG YEAR. Me: Uh, thanks. Her: But you didn't do overtime. Me: Yes, I fucking well did. Her: Well, I don't want to belabor the point, but you didn't. Me: ARGHGH. I mean, seriously. Fuck you, Blue Pumpkin! Uh, sorry. That was all about me. And Blue Pumpkin. We're going on strike next week so I guess it's all water under the bridge. Hello, bankruptcy. At least Blue Pumpkin doesn't tell me where to hang my coat. And I throw it over the cubicle wall ALL THE TIME. Mayapple, write to me. I insist.

yes, this is a past entry, and thus, in the immortal words of the great rick springfield, "the point is prob'ly moot." especially since a more recent entry indicates that you already resolved to leave. howevah ... DO IT! passive aggression is the route of all evil, i sincerely believe that. well, passive aggression and low self esteem. anyway, your boss sounds like a shitty, unhappy bitch, and that shouldn't be your problem. good luck, dearie.
