My husband works for my family and they treat him like dirt. They blame him for everything that goes wrong and expect him to do everything. They offered him a wonderful contract w weekends and public holidays off, free acccomodation, and all child expenses paid and haven't lived up to any of it. In addition they ask him to pay for business expenses and never reimburse us. They take his receipts and when he asks to be reimbursed they ask for the receipts and claim he dint give it to them. They don't respect him or give him credit for what he does, even tho he makes a lot of money for them. He works at elast 20 hours overtime a week and doesn't get paid an extra cent for it nor does he have any kind words said to him. He works hard for everything and yet gets kicked by them for what he does. Its not a fair or good situation. Anybody have a worse boss story?

I used to have a wicked boss who practises favoritism in the office and make the other staffs who is not in her good books hell. Because there are other bosses in the office too, she would go all out not to put in good words about the staffs whom the company had chosen for promotion and would suggest the staffs that are in her favour. Till now, eventhough, I am no longer working there, I felt the injustice is unfair. About your husband, why don't he find another job elsewhere? I think it is not right for his family to abuse their power against him and nothing can be done about it....

We've been applying for other jobs for the past 2 months. 200+ applications later we still don't have anything.
