Cast Your Vote

Ok, here's what's going on. John's boss is a jerk. He doesn't get any respect at work, or credit for what he does. On top of that, his normal work week is 60 hours. Then he's been putting in 20 hours of over time a week because his boss keeps throwing projects at him that needed to be done yesterday. So now he's pushing 80-90 hour weeks, and his boss told him today that he needs to work MORE hours! Plus if he didn't work more, it could cost him his job! What is his problem?! He knows John goes to school and has a family, and yet he asks more of him? So I'm taking a vote. On one hand, he makes decent money (but not what he's worth by far). On the other, he's worked to death with no appreciation, and his injuries are due to work. Who thinks he should stay and put up with it until he gets his degree, and who thinks he should just quit before it kills him and find something else temporarily until he gets his degree? We're torn on this one for sure. Any inputs?

This is a huge decision and no one can make it but John with your input. Can he work somewhere else with his skills? find the new one before he quits the current. For SURE finish school either way. Can his boss legally work him that hard and I thought John was such as asset that he would be in a mess without him. play those cards if you can. A matter for serious consideration and PRAYER. You will be guided when you can listen and hear the promptings. Good luck. Don't do anything before you have weighed all the consequences.

All I would recommend is find the new one before he quits! We've been there because of a lay off from Boeing after 9/11. Not a good place to be :)

And the "good" money isn't really worth it... as long as you can make it by with whatever else you can find. Going into debt isn't worth it either. :)

Ya um... good luck with that. Just be smart about it and make sure he has a new job before he quits. I hope it works out!!

Tell the boss where to go!!! And get the crap out!!! lol.
Ok..I know that's what you want to say and do but like your smart mommy said.." pray about it and make sure he has another job to fall back on before you make that decision." I'm sorry they treat him like crap. It's totally wrong!!
