so right now i am..let say between jobs.i'm waiting for a new job to check my references,but it looks pretty good. my old job,i'd been there 3 years.the first two years were good.i thought "ok,maybe i can stay here til retirement".. nope. 2 months ago,my boss turned on me,everything was wrong. i wasn't the only one she did this to,but while i was supposedly a crappy employee,i had to help everyone else.and work up to 9 days in a row. i found out last month my scoliosis turned degenerative..my back now hurts all the time. so,i asked the old boss for my vacation. denied. can i at least cut down on number of days? denied. i had to put off physical therapy for a month because she wouldn't give me the day off. "why can't you go after work?" because they're closed,and i'm tired anyway. that saturday,i went to get up in the morning,and i was in so much pain i could barely move. ....F this. i quit. from what i heard,the other employees are pissed it came to that. they've been talking about quitting too. but,if i get this new job,less hours,night shift,and i'll have plenty of time to do what i need to do. sometimes,you just gotta jump off that cliff.

9 days in a row?! He is working you like an ox in the farm. Glad you quit. My boss makes everyone feel guilty for being sick. she starts her spiel with "I understand that if you're unwell, you're unwell" to maybe give us the impression that "oh, this cold hearted lady does have an ounce of sympathy after all." And finishes it with,"that is very disappointing".

What sort of work were you doing? What will happen if everyone else quits, too?

housekeeping.not exactly ideal with a bad back. if everyone quits,maybe they'll finally fire that manager.

@BarBaraPrz well if they're smart,they'll move up one of the front desk people..if she doesn't quit first. she has the gift of gab.and she's not a jerk.
