Yes, work sucks! My boss keeps messing with my hours so that I can't even have a social life! I have tried to compromise with him, but all he does is give me this "Me boss, you worker" crap, and then complements that with more hours. ARGLE!!!

Edit: No Need for the swearing

Are you ther under court order? If not Quit! But get another job first. I don't see the problem.

I don't recall ever blindly doing anything i didn't want to do. An employer is your boss, yes...but that doesn't mean he literally owns you. If what he tells you to do seems absurd to you, don't be afraid to tell him to kiss your ass. So what if you lose your job ? A job that feels like slavery isn't much of a job to begin with, right ? You'll feel good about yourself afterwards.

My job is great,
it's flexable, i get to smash things, drive a forklift, and use powertools.
I get paied at the end of every day in cash (thus no tax) and it's a lot of fun, although hard, but i'm learning a lot.
I work (temporarily that is before i go to uni) at a mechanic/truck wrecker, long story how i got that job, but it's a lot of fun there.

Anyway, you could try to bear with it, you are getting paid, (i don't know how old you are, so i don't know what situation you are in), money being good stuff and hours are good, but your boss sounds a bit opressive, so deffinatly consider looking for a new job.

What is your current job/situation may i ask?

I'm at the point in my work were if I manage to avoid my boss mostly over the day it is a pretty good day... he can get so annoying and mad... literally, I think some of his fits would qualify as a symptom for insanity... other than that I kind of like my job, although it is time for a change
