I was the computer technician for a person who is the living, breathing, walking epitome of the word, “sour-puss.” Everything I did was wrong, even though I knew it was right. However, it is difficult to explain/decipher technical jargon and codes to someone who thinks they know everything and who is not open to suggestions. I felt stuck and didn’t know what to do. Each day was worse than the previous day until I realized that I was giving my boss too much power over my well being. I decided that no job is worth compromising my self-worth and I quit! I since have found a better job with a boss that respects me as a person.

I learned that once you know how you want to be treated, others will treat you accordingly.
