I used to love my job but the tension has gotten crazy. My boss and his son are partners but the kid does nothing and expects me to jump whenever he says. I don't but here's the catch. We used to party, I am in recovery, and he hasn't been able to sober up so he treats me like **** and there is not much other than quit but I love his Dad and don't want to leave him in a bind. The kids friends are always coming around and trying to get me to go and do stuff and it's getting to where I hate to com in cuz I don't know who will be here and what I will be offered. Do I quit or just hang in there till the kid goes to jail?? He will soon he's on probation and they keep coming here to talk to him but he hides. Remember I used to love my job till he came back. So do I quit or stay????

Good Lord, girl. Nobody can decide whether to stay or go but you. One suggestion; if you've been there for some time, and you've developed and good relationship the the father, talk to him privately, and lay it all out for him just as you have here. Depending on how much you're willing to gamble, you can say, very unemotionally, that something has to be done or you be forced to resign. Good luck.

You need to handle this in a professional manner. Tell the kid that you no longer engage in that kind of behavior, period. If his friends comes in, tell them that you are working, period.If it continues to be a problem, then you must tell the dad about this. Whether this kid ends up in jail or not is not the problem. It's not even material. You are no longer enjoying this job. All of us have had bad bosses at one time or another. There is the private life, and there's the business life, which should be kept separate. If dad won't do anything, then you need to decide on whether you want to leave with a two week notice and start a new job. Good luck with your recovery, dear. It takes alot of strength not to fall back into old habits.

Do what Sandy says (above) only be sure to begin looking for a job, like now... one should always be looking at what's out there anyway. Your satisfaction with your job is fine, but there's no job security ANYWHERE... I've had the rug pulled out from under me plenty of times when things were doing just fine.
"Good Job" getting off the drugs and stuff... proud of ya!

Stay with what you love, but also tell his father about the police looking for him and him bringing in his friends and having you pushed around. Don't let him push you around while he's sober. It's best that he knows and if he already knows what his son is doing and he knows that his son is pushing you around, then you should leave because that's wrong.

I'd tell the father the reason your having a bad time, and allow him time to fix things. Give it a week after your conversation and if things don't get better start looking for a better job.

Aw, come on. Talk to your boss about this. You shouldn't be going to strangers for advice on this matter. Just tell your boss that you used to love your job, but now his drug- and alcohol-using son and friends are ruining it for you. See what your boss says.

If this bothers you, why don't you just look for another job in the spare time you may have and then wait till you get another job?

This is called a hostile work environment, talk to your boss and let him know what is going on. You do have grounds to sue both of them!

Quit, but get something else lined up in the meantime
