Long story, but I'm currently stuck at a contract job I'll have to stick with till the end of the year before I can leave. During the interview, the partner whom I'm currently working for asked some suspicious questions, which I should have noticed as red flags.
What do you think of working late nights and weekends? What would you do if your boss scolds you, will you cry?
And lo behold, since I've started for around two months, he's proven to be a massive douche. Speaking in a hostile manner, always dismissing what I have to say, making uncomfortable conservative comments and micromanaging every aspect of my tasks. I have to come in on Saturdays to work as well altho it's absolutely unnecessary since he has some massive trust issues.
But I'm requesting for a transfer to a different department. Hopefully the people in charge will grant it since he has a long history of people leaving his dept. Perhaps it's a norm to think that it's a requirement to be submissive and follow every whim of your boss. But respect shouldn't be a one way street.
