I am very close to going bananas

I've been extremely stressed out, deeply unhappy and mad miserable. Work is the reason why. I'd love to quit and go out with a bang. Yesterday damn near made me blow my top. I am sick like hell of this condescending manager who doesn't even know how to do his job properly but sure tells everyone else how to do theirs. Him and I have had a few exchanges already because I don't appreciate being dressed down. He is a living breathing policy handbook and is the very definition of "mmm actually". I swear he humps that damn handbook nightly.

I know how to do my job so piss off. I'm a veteran here you're some greenhorn who doesn't have half the knowledge they think they do. I've tried being nice I've tried being patient but to hell with it. I'm done with this bowlcut having power tripping tyrant. I'm so over this job as is because everything I loved about it has been destroyed and sold for parts. I hate not being able to be myself. I hate feeling like I constantly don't know how to do a good job anymore and I hate being micromanaged and dressed down. Today I was very close to actually walking out and saying to hell with it all.

Yes, I've been looking for new work but nothing. Not a single bloody interview or peep from places. Well technically I had two interviews but never heard back by the time they quoted. This is stupid. I'm following through and reaching out doing what I've been told works but it doesn't.

I'm trying to do what I can to stay sane at work in the meantime. I'm trying to get my hours changed. I want to switch to evenings and lessen my hours as much as I can without shooting myself in the foot financially.

You seem to have the misconception that you working for someone else.... is all about you. In the scope of things you matter as much to a boss as a piss ant that wanders into his business. You quit... 12 more will want your job in less than an hour. I employ 23 people and I fire and replace a lot like you on a yearly basis. They think I should listen to them. They know better than I do. Bosses don't know as much as the workers. Yadi.... Yadi.

Fun Fact.... bosses know enough to not do your job for what you make.... and they earn more doing less. And we know enough to open a business that gave you a job. So who is smarter? Your attitude would seem to make you worthless as an employee there now..... so do you and your boss a favor and quit.

@MaBalzEsHari He's not my big boss he's just a supervisor. Big boss adores me where as supervisor is grossely unqualified for his job.

@beetlebumdont You think whatever you want. I could care less. Your opinion matters as much to me as a fart in a tornado. Like all employers I pay a good wage for a good employee. As a rule thats about 1 in a 100. 90% of all graduates now can't read at a 5th grade level... can't do anything at all without being led by the hand and yet are so entitled they think they should start at $100k a year and work 4 hour days. And are faaaar too good to get their hands dirty, break a sweat or OMG... the worst of all..... break a nail. And when that don't happen they get the attitude they know better... or like you.... I'm the one at fault. Those kind of employees come and go. it's just life.
