If u can tolerate the unpleasantness, stay on. Who knows, one day the both of u may get on well. Meanwhile, save whatever u can n try looking for a suitable job just in case the situation becomes unbearable.

Quite simply... respect. I've had some lousy bosses in the past... and if you can't get a new job, it's not a bad way to go. Strive to do your best, and eventually, people will take notice. However, if you work for a small firm, where your boss happens to also be the CEO... I would go looking for a new job, immediately. But before you do, it NEVER hurts, just to sit down, and in a CALM and RESPECTFUL manner. Ask you boss for some leeway. Maybe suggest a "Trial Period" of a week or so. Just to see how productivity increases or decreases with out him breathing down your neck.

Say something like "I am looking to expand my knowledge and skillset."\n9 out of 10 employers won't call the past boss anyways.  And if they do, they aren't SUPPOSED to ask the details of why you left.

Any boss that yells at you should not be in the position of boss.  His yelling at you is a sign of weakness on his part and second cutting your pay because of the budget is a crock of crap.  I'll bet 99 to 1 that he's not taking a pay cut.  Chances are that if he really IS telling the truth ablut the budget, then his personna is most likely why the company is failing.  If can't treat the clients/customers with respect either, (like yourself) then you need to get out of there A.S.A.P.  BUT! before you take a hike, try to find another job you can go to, and second, when you leave, do it with grace.  Don't burn your bridges.  If you can supply him with a two week notice, do it.  But it sounds like this guy is gonna fire you as soon as he sees your resignation paper.  In either case, treat him with respect even if he doesn't show you any.  By the way, I don't know about the rest of the United States, but in Texas it's against the the law for a former employer to give a "bad reference" to a prospective employer to whom you have applied.  And lastly, no matter where you work, try NOT to have any visitors during working hours.

I would say, learn everything there is to know about your job.  Make it so that you are the one your boss always relies on to do his work.  Then take all of that experience that you have used them for and find yourself a better job.  When you hand in your two week notice, your boss will freak out at the thought of not being able to find someone like you.  They'll start making you all kinds of offers so you wont leave, but you keep saying "NO".  It's a great feeling.

Take them out to dinner or lunch on your new "bosses salary" and be honest and straigt forward.\n""Luke", I have come to value your friendship and man, have we had some good times together! I would like for that to continue and wanted to get your feelings on my promotion. (Actively listen to that person.) Let them know that of course their will be some chamges with how you two must interact on the job but you will treat them with the utmost respect and hopefully (as the boss) you will earn theirs in return. As their friend you know how valuable they are to the company because you've seen how hard they work, now as the boss, you can make sure that as their hard work continues, you will make sure they get the recognition they deserve.

It all depends on how you like your job and if it's really worth it. If the pay is good, you can manage well financially, and love doing what you're doing; then keep the job and get use to it. If the pay is bad, can't handle the boss' attitude, and the job isn't exactly what you imagine doing for the next two years...pick yourself out of that dump and find yourself another job that you find suitable.

Go get some leads and do some interviewing.  Get yourself two offers for more money then ask your boss if you can set an appointment to meet with him.  Explain that you enjoy working there, that you feel your efforts produce a positive value for the company (provide examples), and that you really don't want to leave, BUT that you have two offers for more money than you are currently making.\n\nIf you're a good employee, valued by the company, he'll make you an offer.  If you're a schmuck and wasting their time, they'll smile and tell you to take the offer.

I faced the same dilemma. You have to go with the money, for a good job doesn;t love you back

Sounds like your supervisor is on a power trip when he didn't even earn his power, he married it. I think education should count for something. You should get more pay and your boss should show you that you're appreciated possibly with some type of incentives or bonuses for good workers. While I agree that everyone deserves a chance, if you're better qualified for a position, it should be noted in the workplace. And your paycheck is not your thank you, you earned it.

Leave the company. As I have had to learn many times, it isn't your company, so it isn't your worry. If the company goes under, it isn't you that pays the price for it. You lose your job, get unemployment and get another job. It is the owner who failed that suffers the most.

Ahhh the american way of thinking " suppose to give"\n\nBest way to get it is to work you butt off, make the company look good, don't expect and be happy to have a job. A good employer will give the appropiate rase or bonus if it's deserved. \nIf he doesn't he doesn't deserve your services and you should move on.\n\nThe other option would be to ask.

DO AS MUCH WORK OR MORE IF YOU WANT TO GET MORE MONEY. SHOW THE BOSS WHAT YOU ARE WORTH. YOUR COWORKER DON'T WORRY ABOUT THEM WORRY ABOUT YOUR SELF THAT IS NOT BEING SELFISH. IF THAT COWORKER IS ASKING YOU TO DO WORK FOR THEM TELL THEM NO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TELL THE BOSS THAT YOU WON'T DO THE WORK THAT THEY ARE TO BE DOING I THINK NOT.

You will have to decide to live with this situation or leave the company. If you choose to stay and continue taking the blame, eventually it will catch up to you and you will be fired for incompetence (which is probably a wild card your boss is hiding from you). My advice is to keep your job for now, but update your resumé ASAP and start sending it out. Also, and this is very important, document every single incident for which you have been blamed, including dates, times, names, locations, and a clearly written explanation detailing it. This will come in handy if your boss tries to pull a fast one on you.

This is all reasonable for your perspective employer to ask.  Be honest and intelligent with your answers. Saying that you need the money might be true, but the hiring person wants to know why this job and company in particular. SELL YOURSELF! Don't expect the job to be handed to you.

Always say you're coming and then don't show up.  Only works for large companies.  I know a guy who did that for 30 years.\n\nPersonally I think you should show up, say hello to your boss and then disappear.
