my boyfriend worked his ass off for this company for 3 years, when hired on he was pretty much promised the GM position from day one. after 3 years of grinding and being treated like shit by a boss who couldn’t handle his temper, he finally got the position, but at $5/hr than he was originally offered. he still took it because he loved the job and his coworkers and with the hope of upward mobility. however, as soon as he took over the position, he had no training and was expected to know how to do everything, was now being blamed for others mistakes, and taking the brunt of all of the owners temper tantrums. after being blamed for somebody else’s mistakes yet again, the owner blew up on him and told him that “maybe he wasn’t GM material.” that was the final straw for my boyfriend. he immediately…

It takes a special person to go towards the person with the AR-15 and not run away, special people deserve special compensation.

TL:DR at the bottom. I work for a company that does third party direct fulfillment. I am in a customer representative role where I send various reports on production to our customer and for internal management. There are only two people in this role, my counterpart and myself.
