i quit my job a couple of weeks ago.

hold on, let me defend myself!

when i started i was making 8/hr with no commission. after my 90 day probation period i would start making commission but my base pay would be cut. three days before my probation period was up my boss called me in her office to tell me she was not satisfied with my calls (i made calls to companies and had to log them.) she then proceeds to tell me that my calling history would determine my new pay. was i ever told this before? NO. was it a little late to do anything about it? FUCK YEA.

that pissed me off but i figured she'd be fair about it and recognize that she hadn't told me and take that in to consideration. my probation period came and went without a word. september 13th, ten days after, she calls me in her office and says i need you to sign a few forms. then kind of goes over the forms with me like she's in a hurry and tells me i can go back to my desk. i take a good once over and realize i had just been fucked in the ass. WITHOUT lube for those of you who are wondering. my pay had been cut to 5.50/hr with commission. that's not so bad right? commission? it takes two months for commission to show up on your checks. and you have to meet your quota first. the quota being ridiculously high. so i quit. without notice. yes, i know, that was wrong, i should have talked about it or at least gave notice. but there were other issues going on at the same time. such as the manager made it a habit to discuss employees personal business with other employees. my co-workers knew things about me they shouldn't.

sigh.

so now i am without. still living at home. and lonely.
