When you say "last the whole summer" do you just mean "working more than weekends"?skint_spice wrote: »Oh please no:eek::eek: crisps, sweets and fizzy pop hopefully.

Nah more than that situation - very vicious boss who denies making decisions etc then shouts at me for stuff.
I'm working full time at the mo but if all of July is like this I might quit and try to get some temp work for aug/sep, life is too short!

No, it's your thread, you moan as loud and as often as you wish. If you can't talk freely here - where can you?"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

It's trying to weigh things up - bit of hassle now v regular income for the uni year without too much hassle... Have spoken to LM about it and he says if it's too much just to quit but can also see why I'm reluctant to do that. Not doing this next summer will be out of the door at end of April so it's not long as my signature says 14 weeks and counting. That's not too long to put up with it is it? Mmm...ponders...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Although it's convenient, becoming unhappy and/or ill over it is NOT convenient. Don't get so caught up in the 14 weeks thing that you don't see everything else suffering."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Ach he's not - he's a bluddy nutter! Not my fault and nothing I can do to change that and he owns it.
In answer to Z's question it's just you do different stuff during the week to weekends and there is just me doing it, no support and things go wrong as he takes on as much as possible without considering if he can fulfill orders without screaming customers. He can't as he doesn't have enough stuff or staff. He also has a mind like a sieve often asking me to do stuff then yelling at me for doing it as he's forgotten. It's his business and he thinks of us as his slaves.
Anyhow I'm off today so enough of that, not thinking about when not there;) and there's pulled pork cooking in the slow cooker so that is working as a distraction to EVERYTHING!:DMortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Well instead of walking out as a first option if it doesn't improve - what about moving back to weekends only?skint_spice wrote: »Anyhow I'm off today so enough of that, not thinking about when not there;) and there's pulled pork cooking in the slow cooker
