I was gonna quit my job today. I was determined. That's the last time that asshole talks to me like that, I swore. I went to work today ready to walk out at a moment's notice if I had to. Corporate dropped my health insurance and gave me one day's notice. Minimum wage went up to $7.25. I made almost a dollar over before, now only 25 cents. They refuse to raise me. I have two other jobs, at Bath & Body Works and American Eagle Outfitters, where I make $7.25, and my bosses there don't talk down to me. Hell, they don't even make me mad! And I can't fucking stand my boss at the Cookie Company. I was hellbent, he wasn't gonna screw me around ANYMORE.
And then I got to work.
No mention of the blow-up the other day, none at all. I won't go so far as to say he kissed my ass; but he was definately inordinately nice. So I decided not to walk out. But should I give my two weeks?? I hate working there with him and I do have two other jobs. Can my other jobs sustain me? I don't work very much there. I need to make sure they can give me more hours to make up for this job!
They didn't know.
So then I didn't know.
And instead of acting...
I
Did
Nothing.
I feel like such a pussy. I've said this and I've said that and I STILL work for this asshole. At least the wheels are in motion for change, though. I've given 2 years of my life to that place. It's hard to leave it. I'm scared. I've never quit a job before.
But there's a first time for everything.

Chick, if you're not happy you should quit. No one should work for an asshole if they don't have to.
Get more hours at bath and body works and then I can use you as my method for accessing the yummy products - we don't have it here and I keep reading reviews of all those American Grown hand/body washes and I want to try them but I can't!
On a way less selfish note though - no point in putting yourself through shit if you don't have to. You deserve to be treated better than that xx
