Lately my boss is being very rude and hard to put up with. She has done some things and said things that almost made me walk out the door. A few examples are like when I was asking for a day off in advance she said "F-that" and that it was silly that I was asking off for something she had no interest in. Today, she told me and my coworker, who were in the middle of a discussion to stop talking in front of her client because it is annoying and rude to not include someone. She says this right in front of everyone. She is always verbally abusive and has even "played" hitting on the back or head. As you can imagine, this is so annoying to everyone. I did speak up today and let her know that it hurt my feelings, it was thrown right back at me though. She does not realize how mean she talks to us, it was so bad today that when I got in my car, I cried all the way home. This just seems ridiculous to me. What should I do? There is also another boss, who called me and apologized and she knew I had such a bad day....

Jack,

I know you are right. It is such a big move that I would be making, its scary. I would be going from comission to renting a suite on my own, paying weekly and doing all my own taxes. But its exciting at the same time.

Another awful thing I found out yesterday from another stylist is that the boss has been putting my regular clients on her book in order to make more money. She has made up excuses that I cant take it, rather than offering for me to do them at a different time. I am just speechless. I did not think it would come to this.
