I'm ready to quit my job...

I was working towards a great promotion, as some of you might know. Saturday, the boss took me aside to talk. She told me that she had to make a quick decision, and gave the position to someone else. I wasn't aware I was competing for it! She gave me a big schpiel about how she wants to keep developing me, and that there will be a second position opening up in a month. The next day, I worked with the girl who took my promotion. We were changing around the walls in the store, and I got stuck with a lot of her dirty work. I thought it was completely unfair.

I am tired of working long hours, and almost every day of the week. I have not spent much time with my family, and not getting that promotion has made it even less worth the stress. I told DH, and he didn't even argue with me.

I think I'll give it a month, and if that position doesn't open up I am going to call it quits.

Oh Gosh..been there, done that and got the t-shirt. I'm sorry. Start looking around and see what you come up with.

Are you sure we don't have the same boss?

It totally sounds like something she would pull, lol. I'm with you on giving it a month... who knows, maybe the other position will open up. Good luck and keep us posted.

I've had such terrible experiences with female bosses, I would NEVER work for a woman again. (I know, I know, please don't flog me for saying that!) I totally understand, and I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope you get a big fat promotion and become HER boss! Or... at least you can find a job where you are happy.
