    I'd report him to the board of health. While jobs are at a premium lately, working in a hostile environment is so stressful. I know, I worked for lawyers for 12 years and I now work in retail. Talk about stress. You did the right thing. I'd apply for unemployment benefits and tell them about the hostile environment. It's worth a try and you're gonna need money to get by.

    Genny, I'm glad you did what you had to and quit. You did what was right for you and that's all that mattered. I do hope the other employees he's so rude to up and leave as well, if he's that rude then he needs a taste of his own medicine (No pun intended ). It's certainly not easy to get a job you absolutely hate, trust me I know. My first job was the worst and I was so unhappy with it, my bosses were so rude and I lasted there for about 3 months for the summer. It is only a seasonal job at an amusement park but I was just so sick of the rude guests and bosses. I have since found something better, much better and I hope you're able to do the same. I wouldn't have stuck at the job longer then 3 weeks either, so kudos to you for giving it a try! I promise you'll eventually find something much better. Don't ever settle for less when you know you deserve to be treated better, I didn't and I found a great job.

    Like Moosmom stated, try to apply for upemployment - you will probably be able to get it. Granted, I'm not stating getting a job will be a cakewalk but I'm sure you'll eventually find one. Jobs for younger people are pretty limited, but either way much luck to you! Please keep us upated on the situation!

    What happened to putting in an application at Goodyear?

    At least a job there would have a touch more of a future than anything in retail.

    I agree with what you did....you do not have to put up with abuse....and it would have gotten worse.....Also, I agree with Moosmom about reporting him to the state, not only about the abuse, but also because he had a dog in the pharmacy. I love, love, love dogs, and I would love to have one with me at work, but I don't know if they belong in a pharmacy where pills are dispensed. There are some things, like water and I'm sure other things, that probably need to remain sterile....can you imagine opening your medicine bottle and a big dog hair pours out?

    It might vary state to state, but I wouldn't think 3 weeks on a job qualifies you for unemployment.

    I concur with this most definitely. Besides that - she quit!

    When you quit, you generally forfeit your unemployment privileges.

    I know what you mean!! That would be gross! And like you said I LOVE dogs too! But it is kinda gross coming home and having your jacket on and looking down to see big white hairs of someone else's dog! lol

    Once while I was working there a woman from the health department came in. He about flipped trying to get his dog out of there-he couldn't get it outside to his truck w/out her seeing, so he stuck it in a back closet...and oddly she didn't ever look in the closet-I thought surely the dog was gonna bark or something where she would hear it, but nope...it didn't and she never knew the dog was in the pharmacy

    Call the health board and tell them to look in the closet next time! Obviously that guy knows having his dog there is against the law...and there is a reason for the law.

    Heck - can't she see all the dog hair?

    Good for you, Genny - you stretched yourself and tried a different job, and you did what is right for yourself and are going to try another. Good on ya!

    But really - if there is some way to report the health concern AND the hostile environment, you will be helping many more other people than yourself. This includes your former boss. He may need medical and/or psych help, and won't do it until he HAS to.

    HUGS to you!
