    what happened to proffesionalism

    So, after a long period of unemployment i finally get a job with a mobile detailer.I figured it would pay the bills and put me out there so I could here things that might lead to a new ride.After the first week the boss says how much he likes me and wants me to stay with him,that he has a long term position.Them he tried to short me on my first paycheck.Week number two he starts showing up late at our jobs and leaving early,then tried to short me again.Week number three after promising me 40 hours a week at least,we quit early on monday at 2 pm then at 11 am on monday.He says for me to call last night to get the plans for today,I called several times.He never returned my calls or answered.what kind of way is that to treat your employee.i guess I'm looking for a job again.Sorry to vent like this.

    Take all his clients and start your own company. You'll never get rich or be satisfied working for someone else.

    I was just discussing that and looking at all the licenses and insurance to do just that.

    There is an old saying: ONCE YOU BECOME AS SMART AS OR SMARTER THAN YOUR BOSS, YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.
    GO ON YOUR OWN OR STAY AND WORK FOR AN IDIOT.....

    Be smart, have some balls, works hard and start your own company......

    I did!

    Sad, but in these tough times of unemployment, people are going to take advantage...whether or not he calls you back, still time to look for something better....

    I concur that you need to go out on your own. Professionalism, attention to detail and customer service will serve you well. From the sounds of your rant, you are this guys *****. Wanna be a *****, then stay. Want to succeed, get out!!
