Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My ex boss called me today but I didn't answer the phone.. I already know what he wants. I used to work in a condominium administration office, and the thing is these people call me only when they need, when they have more work, and January is a really busy month..
They don't give me a contract or benefits, they just make me show up, do all the work my colleague does, and in the end pay me whatever they want (they always paid me 500 euros per month, working 40 hours a week or more, while my colleague gets 800 and she does nothing)!
I hate the feeling of only being called when they need. When they stop needing they send me away, like I am disposable. I try my best to be really good and I work hard. I commit myself t this job AND I have to put up with many things, while my colleague shows up whatever time she wants, leaves earlier, pushes the stuff she doesn't want to do on me, etc..
On top of that, I hate my boss, and the worse thing is that I know their family. He is married to a sister of my aunt's husband.. I knew them my entire life. But the man is abusive. When he is in a bad mood, he yells and calls names to everyone, and if you made a mistake or something, he is really verbally abusive. When he is in a good mood, he gets nasty as he hits on me, asking me if I have a boyfriend, how hot I am LOL
I never told this anyone, but my aunt herself has told me, without knowing what happens to me, that he is like that with women. He is a disgusting 50 year old creep.. and his daughter is my age!!
I really need a job, I have been unemployed for almost 4 months now and I have bills to pay, but I don't want to go through this bullshit again, of being used and on top of that have to put up with his sexual moves towards me.. and I really can't tell anyone..
Any advice before I call the office saying yes or no? Thanks!
I am already freaking out about this.. I am going through a depression, I cannot stand him yelling at me and telling me those things, I used to cry everyday when I went to work and had panic attacks when I knew he was coming by the office...

You know what your limits are and how much you can take. What I hear you saying is, "I can't take this right now".
So don't.
The thing is I had to accept the job. I desperately need the money, I have bills acumulating and I don't have how to pay them, and I either take the job or I will have my electricity cut etc..
My colleague called me and I will be doing morning shift only, so as a part time. She will be with me, unless she needs to leave for some reason, so as long as I have company everything will be okay..
I don't get why this happens to me and I don't know if it is the same with my colleague. She is, however, older than me, she is 27, and she is married and has a baby..
I am not the type of girl who wears sexy or appealing clothes, so no one can really accuse me of seducing my boss. I do nothing. I wear sweatpants, I don't wear makeup and I don't think I am that pretty...
He is just an old creep who hits on girls who are old enough to be his daughters.. it is disgusting :(
I'd also be looking for a new job, you already know you aren't staying there forever, why not get out sooner rather than later.
