You know, When The Stars Are Right, I might have a very profitable job opening available ** Chefguy.** 
And ** Angel ** - don’t be a wimp; just get out your flaming sword and exert some divine ass-kicking on your boss.
As if they care. Gimme a break. You are suggesting using the resources of the federal government to punish a flake for being a flake around a part time home office job? Holy shit, why not ask the Air Force to bomb the house, too? You’ve about as much chance of getting them to do it.
The solution here is to quit, and to tell the boss why you’re quitting.
RickJay, I may be mistaken, but I believe that the violation does not have to be against a group, but against an individual. But I agree with you that fighting her may not be worth the time and effort.
Geez Louise, it’s really bad when taking a McJob would be a promotion!
**Angel{/b], either lay down the law to your employer about what you will or won’t do or consider relieving yourself of your self-imposed sense of obligation.
Have you checked about a job on campus?
AND… we have a winner!
Yeah, you’re not going to win this one. Explain to her the specific labor laws she’s breaking. If she doesn’t change (and I don’t expect she will), quit and get another job. The world is full of minimum-wage grunt jobs.
Then call, periodically, to warn whoever takes your job, and try to convince them to quit over the same things.
I vote for the Air Force bombing the house. Sounds like a plan to me.
Oh, and, how much any of you wanna bet her boss isn’t paying her social security or workmans comp insurance either.
Thabk you!! Forget that OSHA bullshit. Stop being such a pussy abd expecting other people to fight your battles for you. Tell your boss “I am going to take a break now” and just go take one. You NEVER have to put up with a boss who is abusive.
Some people live in this fantasy world where they think just because they are “the boss” you have to be their slave. Especially in this work-study type jobs. Example: I was offered this job by one of the local colleges. They wanted an MBA to help out with some program they were building. The angry bitter lesbian boss is like “we are willing to pay $400 a week”. I counter with “fuck that…I get $405 a week from the state for doing nothing. Go hire some undergrad.”
Thanks everyone. Sorry for the delay in replying. My laptop is now (literally) roadkill, so I haven’t had a chance to reply.
I only have another month left here, and things have only gotten really bad the past couple of weeks. After that, I’m out of the area, and therefore not working there anymore. I don’t think I could find another job for just a month, so I’m going to more or less put up for it with that month. With my laptop dead and me needing a new computer, I kind-of need that job for a while yet.
And I can’t blame the dog. It’s a dog, and I don’t know how to act around them. It did what dogs do. It should not, however, have been in the fucking office. I have talked to her about this since I wrote this, and it has been kept out of there since I did so, which is a small battle.
At this point, I’m just going to schedule my own breaks, even if it means that I have to go in the bathroom and effing masturbate to get them.
Eh, jerking off on the boss’s time always makes it sweeter. Oh, and let the website know that this woman is NOT student friendly…so that she can’t advertise on that website any longer, with any luck.
