I gave my boss my two week's notice today.
The past couple days have just been brutal with him. He's normally a prick, but now he's an unbearable prick. for like...almost a week and a half he was a decent person to be around...(not much work, and he was looking forward to his weekends) Now he's just aggravating.
Yesterday...he got pissed off at me because a drill bit was stuck inside one of the hole saws. (the drill bit goes in to hold the hole saw in place so you get a "perfect" circle to go through whatever you're cutting)
he grabs it out of my hands, goes to the back of the truck, gets an 18 inch wrench and a 14 inch wrench gets it out while I'm still looking for another bit in case he can't get it out...and I hear him mumble something, and then say "Did you hear me?" I of course said, "Sorry, no I didn't catch tha~" and he screams "IT'S OUT NOW. I CAN USE THE HOLE SAW NOW." then gave me a smirk, grabbed the hole saw he needed from me and went back inside.
Yelled at me all day for wasting time, or taking too long...and when he went on lunch he had me running around picking up parts and fittings to use. I didn't -get- lunch yesterday. I didn't even get to eat until after I had gotten home, and I had been up since 4am. I was so stressed out and pissed off I barely had an appetite though...
I just find it amusing that I waste his time, and I take too damn long to do everything when there's "so much" to do.
Had he wanted to, while he was waiting for me to get the stuff he sent me to get...TWICE. He could have snapped the two cast iron drain lines he had me working on (in between running back and forth to the truck all day for tools) and had me do something else.
Instead he bitched about how it was taking me 2 hours to snap two pipes (despite the fact that I had to break the cement out twice because the holes weren't big enough to get the cutter in, and when it was, the chain would fit but the lever on it wouldn't move until I broke out more, and every time I broke up the cement I'd have to dig out each pipe again as it was covered in cement, rocks, and dirt.)
So yesterday, he had about two hours worth of time where he didn't do any work. half hour for breakfast, 40 minutes for lunch, half hour the second time I went out for something, and about 40 minutes while I cleaned up so he could talk to his friends about bullshit.
And still for some fucking idiotic reason I told him I'd be able to work late yesterday. (I didn't get home until after 6pm)
But today...first thing in the morning, I told him that I was going to quit...he didn't ask why. it took him 2 hours before he even asked what I was going to do after I quit. Oddly enough he was more chipper than usual. No yelling, no attitude, nothing all day.
He pretty much got what he wanted. Someone he could get to do a fair amount of work for a fair amount of pay, and mistreat them horribly...and that will quit, so he won't have to pay into their unemployment benefits.
Fuck it. 2 more weeks with that asshole and I'm free.
