what you would you do if a family friend you do yard work for did this to you??? I need advice !!!!?
Hello I will start by saying that I have been doing yard work for a longtime friend of our family for over 12 yrs now as a summer job and as extra money when I had a "real job" years later. Anyways a year ago I lost my retail job. Our friends wife put in a "good word for me at her job and I got hired, things went great for the first 5 months and then i was told to work faster or we will find someone who will. They fired me a few weeks later.
So I have been doing the yard work again for our friend who is by the way a perfectionist to the extreme, which has always made me sometimes afraid of not doing sometime perfect and getting chewed out.
Today I did some yard work again and our friend wanted me to pick a bucketful of cherries before I had to go home. He shows me what he wants picked, I start picking in the intense heat with tons of birds try to snatch the cherries too, as i fill the bucket up in an hours time I take it to our friend and he is pissed!
My wife wanted no stems or leaves in here! so go thru them and pick each and every one off, now I am getting angry but I do it for 15 minutes and he comes over and says, Great it looks like you wasted your time even doing this whole thing, I say I am sorry and stuff and he tells me this: Well since these cherries were not done as I was hoping, I am not going to pay you for the work you did with the cherries!!! I did not know how to react to that, I have had a few other times where he would be unclear about something and make a huge deal out of piddly **** and i told him to knock it the F### off before he says the wrong thing,. But to tell me that i did that hard tedious cherry picking for nothing and making me feel like a worthless piece of **** just because his wife will have to pick some random stems off some freaking cherries?! I officially quit and want nothing to do with him or his bullshit condesending, perfectionist mentality toward every project or snide remarks on my personal choices I have made in my life. I would really appreciate to hear what anyone thinks of this!
I dont want any violence, killing or property damage ideas..
I want your thoughts of me busting my *** for a very long time and doing everything as perfect as possible for a guy whom has known the family for decades one day tells you that you just worked an hour and 15 min for free due to the extra work his wife will have to do now. I dont care about the money its being told that i wasted my time and making me feel worthless. I have never felt this shocked or offended in my life and I don t take things personally and this was no joke or accident either, he said something so wrong and cruel, that told me what he thinks of me. and now he can do his bullshit nightmare 2 acres of property himself!
