Employer ethic... We worry about the ethics of workers. Be on time, work hard, be honest,
don't steal, don't lie etc.

But, what about the ethics of the boss? I always knew when my employer lied, his lips moved.
Oops, I forgot to give you that raise, I'll start it next week. That is stealing.
I forgot to start your insurance, it was an oversight, we'll start it next month. Okay, just pay me the premium that you saved then.

You find out that the dim wit that you help all day and loan tools to is making more than you
because you hired in during the end of the recession and now there aren't as many workers out there, so we had to pay him more... but fuck you.

So, you look for a better job and discover that all of the places that you have applied to called your boss to let him know that you were looking.

What a crock of shit.
 
It used to be potential employers had to ask for permission to call your current employer. After all you were looking to change employment, whether because of better wages, better hours, better treatment, whatever the reason you were looking to leave. Basic common sense would suggest an unexpected calling could deliver you trouble.

Isn't that good, though? Shouldn't that send a signal to your boss that he should pay you more if he doesn't want to lose you?
 
Often times all it tells the boss is you don't want to be there. This can make things rough, especially if you don't find a new job. 1st issue that comes up and your boss, under the impression you completely hate your job, decides to let you go. Then you get to join the unemployed masses.

"If you don't like it here, there's the door. I have a pile of resumes on my desk of people who do want to work here, and probably will work for less money too."

Ideally yes, unfortunately that’s not usually how it works out.

I’ve had managers with both good work ethic and bad, none that were really toxic to the point where I had to worry about anything. More to the point of learning how to deal with them until I moved on.

Currently my Boss seems to have decent work ethic and has good intentions, but doesn’t seem to know how to manage. At least as far as I can see in my own department, it seems a decent amount of people get away with not doing anything.

Actually, to get what I was promised I quit and went home, the boss called me and asked me to come back and I got what was promised.

The Detroit Tooling Assc. has an agreement between all machine/job shops to not hire another companies worker. Those who do will be black balled. I had a boss tell me to hide when a former employer walked in.
 
This reminds me of the time I posted this picture online. I loved it because it was damn weird. (Why the Chipmunks? Who is Betty Jackson? Why is she using her initials when they have that other meaning?)

A bunch of us took turns posting funny things about it. One of my favorites was "Watch God work? Fuck that - I'm not his supervisor."

Anyway.

I was just recently thinking about the worst boss I ever had. How bad was he?

* When he took over the business, he systematically fired everybody one at a time for tiny offenses, then had us beg for our jobs back. This established who was in charge here.

* He had a sudden need for a bunch of things, and asked everybody if the company could borrow them for a week. I loaned him twenty, and got back seventeen. When I pointed this out, he sighed loudly and said "I don't have time for petty bullshit. What will it take to make this problem go away?"

* He needed a ton of computer work done, and offered $1000 to anybody who would do it. I took the job, and spent about three weeks doing it in my spare time. After I was done, he paid me $650...and took out $200 for taxes.

There's more, but I won't bore you.

This is sad but true.

All that you can do is learn as much as you can, build your skill set and put your resume out there.

Too many people feel obligated to stay in a role or company that they hate for at least a set amount of time. Its okay to leave as long as you don't have an extensive history of job-hopping.
 
I have been mostly lucky, or naïve. They mostly did not intentionally screw me, and I fared no worse than the average person.
