F/U to "The amount of stress (kinda long)"

My coworker resigned late yest afternoon.  I was surprised at how well the boss took it, quite honestly.  He was so nice to me, a bit resistant to my suggestions about hiring someone f/t to help me (this now leaves me as the ONLY office person!), but overall nicer than he has generally been to me.

Today, he is back to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  I want to cry.  I'm happy for my coworker for getting out of here b/c its effing torture; I'm happy he is doing something to make himself happy.  I'm sad b/c I now have all this burden on me.  Boss already yelled at me this morning.  Instead of trying to be nice to me and hoping I also don't leave, he is back to being a douche.

I don't know how I'm going to do this, but somehow, I hope I can find it within myself to overcome this hurdle.  This is only the first full day and already I feel like crawling back into bed and crying.  I need a hug.  hehe

  • Sooo... are you actively looking for another job?  I don't know that I could continue to work for someone who thinks that you're capable of handling two people's work effectively and efficiently - especially if he's going to be an A-hole about it.  He should be kissing the ground you walk on, not being a butthead.
  • I'm sorry....  I would be looking for a new job asap, and I would not let him treat you like that...and then I would slash his tires Stick out tongue  *HUGS*

    Yes 

    ((hugs)) I'm sorry, that really sucks. I hope things get better soon, either with a new job or your jerk of a boss shaping up.

    I have been looking for a new job on and off for about 2 years now.  I haven't been able to get a single person to call me back or even respond to my efforts.  We put our house up for sale, hoping that it would sell this year (and it still may, but we're only listing until 9/30) so that I could take a major paycut and leave this place.  Because we have the house, I have to maintain a certain pay grade and no one has been willing to work with me on that.

    What sucked before is that I was already doing the job of 3-4 people by myself.  Now that this other person resigned, I'm doing the work of 5-6 people by myself.

    I know I need to start the search back up but I just don't get how he isn't kissing my rear end right now.  He truthfully thinks its not critical to hire someone else and we are all trying to get him to understand that I can't do this for long.
