From Wedding Planning to Job Hunting

Sorry to hear that your boss is such an ass. Hopefully everything will work out.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I hope everything works out for the best.

That'd be great, except my boss IS the HR dept. Yeah, that's probably why he's such an arse! IT's a really small company, so we don't have all that fabulous infrastructure that most company's offer. Less red tape for the most part, but If you have a gripe w/ ur boss, not alot of options.
I'm pretty lucky, actually. My FH is totally chill. He's not worried about the wedding, at least. And just yesterday another manager just gave her 2 weeks notice, So now the company's shorthanded. It also motivated me to have my resume written professionally, and I can take my time (sort of) to find a job I want instead of taking what I can find. One good thing about living in NYC is that there are always retail jobs, even in this economy.

It's good to know that I'm not the first to face this issue, and I'm not gonna be the last. Thanks for listening

Ditto!
I totally agree with Maura.
