Entitled Millenial Fag, here.
I've been "in the workforce" for ten years, even through college.
Right now, I work at a radio station and I'm done by 1 p.m. because I come in at 5 a.m.
I decided to take a little side job as a grunt in a hobby shop.
I've been doing both for about four months now and I've never, not once, had a problem with either.
Well, the owner of the hobby shop asked me to be manager. It wouldn't come with any extra hours, just extra responsibilities while I'm there, and some extra money in my pocket.
I get excited and tell my radio boss and he hits me with this exchange:
>Me: "So I got a promotion at my other job."
>Boss: "Other job? user, you can't have another job."
>Me: "Why not?"
>Boss: "Because you need to be focused on your job here and only that. You can't have another job and do this one too."
>I assure him that the hobby shop owner is very chill and that the two will never affect each other and that I've been doing both for months
>He says I should have run it by him first before I took on a second job
>I apologize and tell him that I'll do better, but he shouldn't worry as it will all be fine
>He says "It better not affect your job here."
>I head home for the day
First, I was really defeated, but then I got fucking furious.
Like, what fucking business of his is it that I have a second job?
What if I wanted to coach little league or volunteer in my community or some shit like that?
Why the fuck do bosses think that they "own" their employees, body and soul included?
Is this an American thing, or is the whole world like this?
Do all Baby Boomers assume that Millenials should give up their lives and only work at one job until they die?
Fuck yes, I mad.
>mfw I just wanted to be happy
TL;DR The fuck is up with bosses, man?
