Worked for a small carpentry company. Boss was nice in the beginning. 6 months down the line he’s just an aggressive blaming pig. Everyone is wrong he’s right.

TLSR: (too long still read) Last week I had a job interview at an apartment community for a leasing agent position. I have a little over 2 and a half years of experience in the industry as well as the software they utilize. The Indeed listing said from $15-$18 an hour. I figured 18 an hour would be for an experianced candidate like myself. When I arrived I was immediately handed a TAA (Texas apartment association) job application by the assistant property manager. I had already applied on their website prior to the interview, so this was kind of annoying having to redo essentially everything I had provided online. It asked me for my SSN and DL #'s a…
