Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
Keeps short changing me. This always and only happens when some bullshit happens that he doesn't like and so I will be taking a week off from work due to car troubles. I don't need that job. I just like it when he's not there or involved.
I worked for an asshole like that for 18 months(should have been 6)...if it gets to you just fucking quit...your well being and mental health is more important.However,economically things were better back then,look for another job in your week off.
Thank you for your advice man. I'm going to take it. Sorry you had to deal with some shit too. My boss is just a prick.
A guy at work got injured today, and his insulin pump was ripped out of his arm. Instead of my boss being empathetic, he told the guy that "now we're going to be down three people".
I spoke up and how tackless that was and suddenly I'm missing $50 lol. I live 30 miles from my job and busted my ass to get in this week for him to pull some shit like this.
Now they'll be down four people while I wait for my part to come in.
Pretty happy I decided to take off this week! Shit is hitting the fan and it's extra busy due to people being off today. Boss had to go in today and he's chewing people out on stupid shit over the group chat. I'm biting my tongue lol.
Boss texted me asking how the car is. Apparently my replacement hasn't been showing up so they're short handed. That's unfortunate. Looking at the schedule next week and seeing two of the best employees are going to be out on vacation for a week each is making quitting a lot easier. Plenty of places closer to home are hiring. I just have a lot of freedom to do what I want at the place now and am not going to get to smoke, sit or eat whenever I want like I can there. Decisions, decisions..
Malicious compliance is the way to go. Eventually,a boss like that is going to tell you to do something stupid. When you hear it coming, day "Wait a minute, Boss, let me get out my cell phone and record your orders so I can get it right. This way I'll be able to play back your instructions to make sure I've done everything you told me to do & exactly how you said to "
A week or so later.....
"Yes, Boss, I deleted those files. Why? You told me to. Yes you did. Here, I got right here on my cell phone. Look."
"Can I get them back? I might be able to reconstruct them, but it's going to take time. No, I don't have my notes, you told me to delete those files. Oh, BTW, here's my 30 Days Notice. Now let me get started on those files. No, it's going to take a lot longer than 30 Days. Yes, I'm still leaving. Who's going to reconstruct them? I don't know. Not my prob. I won't be here."

Haha. I already have plenty of dirt on him, which is why he won't fire me. I'm thinking I'm just going to reduce my availability. The job is great and most of my coworkers are awesome. It's just when he's physically present or someone is slacking or snitching that it sucks and that's pretty much what happens at every job though. I won't have as much freedom other places. Not being there this week has been nice, they're suffering.

I thought about this but I don't want to get fired. I do have an arsenal of shit at the ready in case that ever does happen that'll cause him to lose business.

File sexual harassment, complain he mad advances on you, he touched u in ur no no spot
You first go the HR department and file a complaint. If your boss is refusing to pay for travel time on planes or give you your vacation vouchers then you should go to your accounting department also.
I had a boss that tried to short me out of my per diem, plane vouchers and wouldn't file my vacation benefits. I finally got a job at another company but I did get compensated for my per diem of about $20,000 when I left.
My new job is completely remote office and the optional. I usually only do the travel if it to places like Hawaii or Bahamas where my per diem is $1000 or more a day.
Unfortunately he's the owner of the place so his wife is HR. I don't know what she'd do if we all brought it up to her that her husband is a shady, non paying asshole.
I think I've resigned to stealing shit and becoming lazy like everyone else there and to just stop giving a fuck. Cutting my hours and reducing my time there will also help a lot. I just don't like how he mistreats others. I'm going to keep my mouth shut though and continue to smoke, sit and eat on company time. My car should be fixed tomorrow but I'm still not going in until next week, fuck him!
Ah. Sweet justice. Tonight my boss posted in the group chat asking everyone why there were 7 people opening today and 5 people closing and stuff still not being finished.
I really want to be a smartass and post that it's because I'm not there but it's obvious to him now. Now he sees for himself how I was the one basically running that place and how it falls apart when I'm not there. I'm loving this a little too much and this is what he gets!

I wouldn’t resort to stealing shit,my boss did steal my tools though.I looked into him a little deeper back then,turns out that guy beat and stalked his ex-wife according to court documents…some people are just total shit bags,don’t go down to their level.chalk it up as lesson learned and move on.
Yeah you're right. Stuff like that catches up to you or comes back on you later on. That's fucked up about your boss doing that shit to his ex wife! Car is fixed. Boss texted this morning asking about the schedule. I gave him a reduced hours availability so I won't have to suffer there for as long anymore. Hopefully I'll be okay lol.
Well, I finally feel halfway appreciated! Not only did he send me what he shorted me last week, he added a little extra. Even though I'm dreading going back I'm going to try to grin and bear it. I think he realized some stuff while I was out. Going to enjoy the weekend and pray for tolerance for next week lol.
