15 Minute Job
It wasn't so much that it was a bad job, but I wasn't a good candidate for the job I applied for. I was finishing up my last semester of college and it was 3 months away from my wedding. I got very w…

At First it Wasn't
For the first couple it wasn't. Loyalty seemed to be a good idea. When I applied for a position outside support the VP of support basically said (not to me) "No one leaves support". Later lawsuits en…

Cried All the Way Home
I was to be trained on the co's software a month after hire, but no one had time to train me. The VP needed sales numbers, but would not take the time to show me what he wanted. I was never really to…

High Stress No Pay
They put me under unreal stress and didn't pay hardly anything. It ended up affecting my driving record and left me sort of bitter, too. I was always amped out every single day at work and was glad w…

He Wanted a Mind Reader
He yelled and ridiculed me by 9 a.m. on my first day, because I asked what he wanted to say in a letter he requested. I should have known better than to take the job in the first place, and it was on…

Upscale Boutique - Lowscale Job
The first day I wasn't offered a lunch break, at all. It turns out, though, that my first day would also be my last. The manager told me that she would call me to arrange a schedule, yet never did. T…
