I left a job I loved because the abuse from management was too much, it was best described as constructive criticism. In management terms that means making one person do three times as much as somebody else.

I’m used to it, used to no coffee breaks or lunches but it got to me eventually when I was 32. I’m wrecked I need a sit down and eats, wanna be nasty fine! I’ll hit ya with health and safety regulations and my remit as laid down by my boss.

Oh it speaks does it? we can’t have that so they all ganged up on me, not to get rid but to put me in my place. I’m too sore and too hardened to take s*** like that so I laid down my law! yous know f*** all, I’ve been doing this s*** for 15 years my boss is contactable at all times so phone and tell him you want rid of me.

Not one of that management had the guts to do what they were perfectly within their rights to do, a sub contractor was abusive an automatic dismissal. I left when I decided it was time to go myself. I was sorry to leave but one can only take so much abuse.
