It's really a long story, but I am seeing a lawyer tomorrow about my boss creating a hostile working environment, and also sexually harrassing me. Also, bait and switch. She told me I'd get benefits after 30 days, and it would be medical dental and vision...well I get benefits after 90 days, and it's only medical. She said that I would get commission starting right away...I won't get it til after 120 days. I was told my working hours would be from 7:30am-4:30pm, then she changed them the day after I accepted my salary to 7:30am-5:30pm. Doesn't sound like much, but that's 5 hours a week more for the same 40 hour salary. That's just the start of the issues...I could go on for days...I seriously had over 25 separate issues with her.

So if I'm interviewing you for a job and I say "So it says here you've quit two jobs in less than six months. Care to explain why I shouldn't think you'll quit here?"

What would you say?

See angry...this is what I was talking about.

But to play along, you wouldn't know about the two jobs I have had in 2 months. I'd just tell you I took time off for me or something. Then my other history is more telling of who I am since (not counting the last two jobs) I have had 3 in almost 10 years.

I wasn't trying to give you a hard time. But don't you think you'd be asked that question? Wouldn't you ask that question if you were in their shoes?

Absolutely...but like I said...they will never know.
I am also actively seeking to sue someone for the first time in my LIFE, and they will have no clue about that either.

The reason why I didn't want to say anything is cause I realize how it looks. There just is not much I can do about it but move on and learn from it. Hopefully God will help me find where I need to be.

What type of work do you do exactly. If you decide to move to CO. I might be able to help. My brother in Law is not the only connection that I have out there. My wife has other family members that live there as well.

Well, I am wanting to use my Master's degree in finance. So banking, finance etc is where I would like to see myself head down. I have A LOT of managerial experience, including in a retail and restaurant setting, but like I said, I'd prefer to use the degree unless of course something that sounds completely cool or fun pops up like being able to work on the space shuttle, or for a sports team or something like that.

I appreciate your willingness to help.

I will make a couple of calls and see what I can find.
