 SR> My ex-boss cannot understand why I left, I explained it all to him but
 SR> he still cannot see where I am coming from. It was very rare that I
 SR> would see the kids during the week or have any time with the wife
 SR> which was causing all kinds of domestic bliss :) I have never been
 SR> worried about money, I can live without it but it was the lack of
 SR> seeing my kids that brought it home to me. The crux was last week, I
 SR> had worked Tuesday from 6am till 2am and thn back in at 6am, did all
 SR> my deliveries, changed a puncture and got the puncture fixed, which I
 SR> never got paid for, and was back in the yard for 5.30pm. So I texted
 SR>  the wife to say that I would take the kids down to the beach for an
 SR> hour at 7pm, leaving me enough time to finish my work. The boss
 SR> decided to clean a freezer which meant that I finished at 9pm so I was
 SR> very angry and my kids were upset which made me even madder. On
 SR> Monday, we noticed that the spare had gone missing from my van, my
 SR> boss infered that I had not put it back correctly and had lost it on
 SR> the way backon the previous wednesday. So he said that I had to
 SR> replace it, the idea was that I would pay for it out of my own pocket.
 SR> I did say to him that I could not afford it this week as I have a
 SR> court case in the UK with my ex and all my money was tied up. He said
 SR> to order it and we would come to some arrangement, ie I pay it back
 SR> over a few weeks. I stewed on it and by the time I had decided to
 SR> walk, he had gone out, so I handed in my keys, uniform etc to his
 SR> daughter andwalked. Needless to say, I got a phone call and he could
 SR> not understand why I had not talked to him, I said that it would be
 SR> like talking to a brick wall :)

I think more people should speak up about these kind of bosses but as a group.
They can't fire everyone and might wise up....or not!!! If the whole group
walked out though it would cause him/her a lot of problems before replacing
them.
