[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 722621, member: 1550"] My first hand experience is that unless you are indispensible to a company, and this does not include clerical workers, nobody begs you to to stay. It isnt done. Nobody really cares. Been there many times myself. Move on...agree...as this is not a permanant career, probably underpaid work. I hAve always had jobs that are not very high level and even when I was the highest sales person in the office, nobody begged me to quit when I quit over office favortism. Offices are drama and unfair and we have no unions or laws to protect the workers in this country. Best to hope for a better fit next time. Of course their child will always win out. There are no laws that treatment must be fair. Bart is a top sales pro and made a lot of money for a Chicago company, but the boss's twins walked into a job above him and started bossing him around in an unpleasant way. The boss, their daddy, stuck up fof his children 100% of the time so Bart got another job. There is nothing in this country, unless you are in a union, that makes an employee receive fair treatment. Unless somebody is harassed, and can prove it (and a personal ledger wont be enough) that you are specifically picked on for a documented disability (different disabilities count as valid in various states), race or religion the employer does not have to treat you fairly and can fire you at will. I even cosulted a few employment attorneys who told me as much. It shocked me. The mindset is that if your employer doesnt like you, it can fire you for any/no reason and if you dont agree with what happens at a job you can quit. Thats about it. It is very frustrating and most on this site do not have average jobs...most are at a grade above clerical work (as I worked most of my life)...maybe you are treated better if you are in a union or a very highly educated professional. But that was never my situation and I never had a voice. I hope Jess can find something where she is appreciated and there is no boss's daughter or twin sons working there. Some companies are better than others in fairness. [/QUOTE]
