It's been established twice now that I'm in over my head, and the only response I get is "I used to have to work 20 hour days" and "Well, her (the girl I actually split one of the jobs with) work is more important so help her. Idk what your social life is like, but you're gunna have to stay late." He even went as far as to have a screaming death match with the other girl, who's also thinking about leaving, where he said that "He won't leave. He's never going to leave." So it seems like he thinks he can treat me like absolute shit, and I'll stick around. He's essentially unapproachable about any of this, which only builds to the stress, and for working here for six months, I've learned nothing that made my resume stronger because the business model is so antiquated.
Appreciate the posts, guys! Even you Huber.
Looks like it's time to go man, or at least call that bluff. I'm not the type that likes to say no to people, especially friends and family, but it sounds like that situation isn't going to change by itself.
I was in a similar situation to you a few years back (stuck working for a place I wasn't too fond of), and I actually gave the company a one-month notice in writing, thanking them for the opportunity, but detailing out my specific reasons for leaving. Putting your thoughts down onto paper is useful, as you'll be able to organize your feelings and not worry about getting tripped up or tongue-tied when you have to face him.
Ironically, after a couple weeks the company was unable to find someone to replace me, and they ended up making some concessions that made my life a lot easier and the job much better, lol. I still work there to this day. So... you never know how things are going to turn out!
