Make up your mind

My boss is a great person, outside of work. He makes jokes and is very friendly. Inside work he is a different person. When he hired me, he said I could go far with the company and my pay would grow with the growth of the company. I started out as a grunt doing meniel labor and was eventually given a project to manage over. He would explain what jobs he expected of me. Mainly to do whater I need to get the job done. Sometimes he would see that I was spending too much time focusing on one particular job and tell me he needed me to be a manager and walk around and manage. Later he would come up to me and say that I am walking around too much and he needs me to sit and test the product. Later he would come up to me and say I can't be sitting because we need to ship product out the door. He would micro manage way too much and would not trust me to do my job.

The main thing that caused me to quit was his dual personality. When things were going good, he was your best friend, he would joke with you and talk to you like you were best buds in school. If he was in a bad mood, which happened more often than a good mood, he would yell, he would blame everything on you, he would make you feel like you were minutes away from being fired, he would put pressure on you which didn't need to be there. The longer I worked there, the worse it got. He got sick often and I prayed for those days because everything flowed much better when he was gone. There was no pressure, no contention and everyone enjoyed their job.

I enjoyed the type of work I was in, but in the end I was unable to work under that man.
