Boss disrespects his main employee while struggling to find new help

So my boss is a bit of a narcissist but the guy I was replacing gave me that warning. I needed the job and having no carpentry experience this was an opportunity I had to take. I had worked for him for two years, never late and don’t complain about work load. I always did my best because I have always felt like I have to try harder than the guy next to me to get ahead (it’s a flaw of mine.) He’s routinely added more and more to my work load and extended the hours that I work whenever I was given a raise. I get paid by the day not by the hour btw. So he’s been having some health issues so I’ve tried to be patient and understanding to him. I know he’s gonna be having a small procedure done on his heart (apparently he has one)…

I had worked for him for two years, never late and don’t complain about work load. I always did my best because I have always felt like I have to try harder than the guy next to me to get ahead (it’s a flaw of mine.)

He’s routinely added more and more to my work load and extended the hours that I work whenever I was given a raise. I get paid by the day not by the hour btw.

So he’s been having some health issues so I’ve tried to be patient and understanding to him. I know he’s gonna be having a small procedure done on his heart (apparently he has one) so I wanted to wait to leave until after he is feeling good and has recovered.

Well today we were at the lumber yard because an item he paid for we didn’t pick up last week, I was never given the invoice. Me not asking for the invoice from HIM was apparently my fault, I should of checked it but the other guy who works with us said we had everything, I should’ve looked.

Well when he was telling the guy who works at the lumber yard what happened he said “someone decided not to get everything on the sheet” as he pointed his finger about 2 inches from my face.

So despite wanting to leave on a positive note I decided to leave after he did that. He offered me a decent raise but I declined purely out of self respect. I have absolutely no idea how he plans on getting everything done now but that’s on him and not me. I still think I’m a bad person throwing more shit on him right now but the constant disrespect has become to much, it’s his business not mine.

This was the straw that broke this camels back, there were several other reasons I should’ve walked out earlier but out of necessity I didn’t. Well, I’m working on joining the carpender’s Union and hopefully that grass turns out to be greener.
