Well, then ask him for more responsibility. Companies grow. With greater responsibility, you'll earn his trust. That's the door you use to get his ear and elicit change.

@Adogslife: not this guy, he wants to do everything himself. There is no progression here

@Adelh91: well then, don't waste time. Use employment with him to find yourself a better job. Life is too short to be underpaid.

@Vgore0304: is your boss nice

@juiceyangel333: yes he buys food for every one

@Vgore0304: do you live alone

@juiceyangel333: maybe a year. My overhead was low. I had no office. No designated business phone. No vehicle. I used public transit and my home phone to do business. At first I was making just about enough to live off. But when my clients started telling their friends and family how well I did the job, I soon had to take on an employee. I kept the business very small. Never became an agency. Just me, one employee, and private clients. I never kept a client I couldn't get along with. I'd quit and find another to fill the time slot. I didn't get rich, but at no time, after I started working for myself, was I ever unemployed and I never got headaches as I did when working for others. I did that for thirty five years. Retired 3 1/2 years ago.

@Serenitree: and you still have money to live off now ?

@juiceyangel333: I have two pensions. Still not wealthy, but not starving. I have a roof over my head, cats to love and a large family that I dote on. Money isn't rolling in by the truck load, but I have plenty for my modest wants and needs.

What business ?

My boss would only have himself to blame

@Adelh91: this guy was a DBA and screwed up ... like.. an entire company. realized what he did, packed up all his stuff and walked out without telling anyone. didn't even wanna admit how dumb he'd been. made it 4 times harder to fix.

@Adelh91: Never just leave, I saw some doing that and really regretting it afterwards, and if you leave, always in a proper way, even if it's a lousy job, it's a small world 😉

@kingkyrie: I've done it before at an equally shit place where I was also being exploited. I wouldn't hesitate

@Adelh91: It depends on the job a bit, guess I would if I was treated like a slave ore something like that, I can imagine I would run to, no matter what, so...

@Kimmler: sick of being exploited and given physically unachievable targets then being slated when I can't hit them.

I'm a paint sprayer for a joinery firm and I've just been told there's a load of work that is still being made by the joiners that needs to be sprayed and ready to load on the van tomorrow, and that I have to stop as late as it takes to get them done
