l ever had this kind of sad experienced, in my younger years. That time, l was still a trainee accounts clerk. The boss was very stingy, when you came late, he will deduct your pay. But, when you do overtime and work late for the company, he didn't pay the extras to you. All my ex-colleagues had complained this matter to him, but he said, work while there is job to do, don't said many excuses. Well, that really disappoint all of us a lot..

Boss - Always right!
Hi, 2 things in Life U cannot choose-Parents & boss. Yes,stingy/saddist/autocratic/incapable Bosses we come accross, in Life. We possibly loose(monetorily,tranquility etc)during that period(under him). But if we r confident about our ability,finally U win. I became Boss of one such my earlier boss.....see/relish the change(in them) then! Donot get disheartened..tough times never remains,tough people do! =Lahiri,Kolkata,india.

Thanks for your good advice. Yes, some of the things we just can't change. No, l never feel disappointed with this boss because in the end, l got to know his company is having cashflow problem.

I also had bad experiences when I had been trainee. Initially, I started to oppose the people at top and this lead to bad experience. I have to hear all the bad things they say and sometimes the guys used to hurt a lot with words, but because I was a trainee and needed a job I used to keep quiet and take whatever they say. Once I had an argument with a person and for 2 months I have to go to the office and was not allowed me to do any job and I looked a like joker at night shift coming to office, sitting idle, not allowed to do the transcription work. Life was very tough for me at that time. Some days I didn't log into the computer itself. It is really pain to be isolated from the friends who doesn't care and look like a joker.

to hear your trainee experience. I understand, sometimes it's hard when you are working under people who likes to give bad comments. Sometimes, it can makes us lost of confidence in our works. As a trainee, we always must bear all kinds of bullying words, eventhough sometimes it may hurt our feelings alot. l ever having it once, and l know how it feels at that moment..Always look to the brighter side of life..

Sad to hear that. At that time, l was also very angry when my boss didn't care about his staffs benefits. Yes, he treat all his staffs like working machines. Anyway, lm happy now that l don't had to work for that boss anymore. Hope you will have a good boss soon..
