Anyone ever walk out on a job?

I have been working at a Swiss Bank for 4 months now and feel as if I've reached my breaking point. I KNOW how to do my job and carry out various tasks without issue. Everyone in the firm loves me and I love them back….EXCEPT for my piece of crap boss. He is 66 years old and bipolar. He will go from 0 to 60 immediately and start yelling, ridiculing, slamming his fists against his desk and slamming doors. My anxiety has never been THIS high. I DREAD walking in there. Stress from the moment I get there to the moment I leave. I feel it is also affecting my health. There are 2 of us assistants working for him. One of them is Jonathan and the other is myself. Jonathan is VERY weak and subservient. My boss will get in his face and scream at him. Poor Jonathan…

how to handle job trying to force you to quit?

sorry in advance for the bad format i’m on my phone. boss kept taking me off the schedule without telling me so i would find out when i showed up for work. i confronted him about it and he lied and said we had talked about it (i had never received a call or text). my manager texted me that our boss had messed up. before my next shift my boss texted me to tell me not to come in. now i am removed entirely from the schedule, i texted my boss about this and he ignored the message. i know he’s trying to fire me but he has no reason. i have not quit yet. this has happened many times at the store i work at where he forces someone to quit by never scheduling them again. is this something that can be reported?

Vile tricks in online application forms

A good friend of mine is a former colleague who is a top-notch web designer. I met him for lunch earlier today and came back to the office shocked at the tale he conveyed. He was contracted by a company to construct a series of forms for their employment portal. But the HR Director mandated that because the company stresses extreme accuracy and attention to detail in their job vacancies, that a method was requested to weed out those whose attention to detail is lacking. He went on to say how this HR Director gave a specification for several portions of the application to have a script that altered the employment dates randomly. At the end of the application process when the applicant reviews before submitting, is the final chance to proofread and correct any abnormalities. He's a good guy but from a country where they pretty much comply with…

Should I show basic human compassion? Also, you don’t deserve a birthday if you were born on a leap year.
