Dear Queenie,
I have been working for a certain business for a few months, but I have not been happy there and now I have been lucky enough to find a new job at a place I am sure I will like better and I will be quitting the old job soon.
The main reason I don’t like the old job is because my supervisor is mean and nasty and just plain disgusting to work for. That person will curse at you and use obscene language if you make a mistake or they just aren’t pleased for some reason and even if you do your work perfectly they will still get mad and claim they told you to do it differently or to do something else.
Queenie, my question is, should I go to the owners and tell them why I am leaving?—Fed up employee
Dear Employee,
By all means go to the owners and tell them what you have told me. They should know (if they do not already know) how this person treats his/her subordinates.
But save this conversation for the moment just before, or even after, you walk out their door for the last time. Do not give this “disgusting” supervisor, in case he or she finds out what you have said about him/her, any opportunity to vindictively treat you any worse than he/she already does.
