Maybe you are being treated like a baby, because maybe you are being a baby.

They will eithertreat me with respect like I treatthem with respect, or ****ing else they're going to hear it from me.

This is where you need to draw the line between work ethics and your ego. Yes, people do deserve to be treated with respect, however if there's an issue...there's more professional ways to approach a problem then to "let them hear it".

I've been in your situation many times, but even though most of the co-workers treated me down there, and they thought they were up there, I still got my job done and I received way more recognition from my managers where they were more leniant to favors you may need. Where I currently worked, I was about to get laid off for personal things (plus I had a medical condition), however now I stepped up my professionalism, I drew the line between work and ego, and now my manager praises me with raises and is more leniant to my last minute needs.

From what I'm reading, it seems you have a lot of learning to do.

For a base salary job, I think you can keep your ego. You already don't earn a lot, you don't need to be bullied by your boss to.

If it's your boss as well, then you need to take it to the next level by talking to corporate/HR. If it's really that bad, you should start looking now, but don't quit until you find a new job. However one thing that needs to be understood is that a Job is a job, there are so many people out there who are willing to take your position and find ways to conquer the bullies on a professional level.

[QUOTE="gameguy6700"]

Psh, you complained about six hours of work and no break? In my lab I have to work 5-7 hours a day on average, no pay, and I get no break (there's no time for one). That's on top of being a full time student majoring in neuroscience. The consequence of all that is that I eat "breakfast" at 7 pm on most days, have "lunch" at 1-2 am, and skip "dinner".

Anyway, my worst job was probably last semester when I started working in my lab under a different posistion. All I did was watch videos of rats for hours on end and record whether or not they were doing a specific action in a particular five second interval of the video. The sheer motonony and boredom was enough to drive a person insane (indeed, I found a pencil one time belonging to another student who had the same job which had been chewed up so badly it looked like it had gone through a wood chipper and had several staples stuck in it as well). However, the job paid $7.50 an hour which considering what I was doing was a pretty damn good wage.

gameguy6700

Grad student? I am lucky if I get 40 hour weeks...

Nope, 3rd year undergrad. Actually more like 2nd year since I chose my major late and am now on the 5 year track as a result. It's funny, when I started this research my mentor asked me to make up a schedule for myself that had me coming in 10 hours a week, as if that was all that was needed. That was a sick, sick joke on her part (not that I didn't see that coming from a mile away though). On the bright side I've been told I stand a good chance of getting a publication once this is over though I can't tell if my mentor is being serious or just whispering sweet nothings into my ear...

Luckily the long hours end next week since the experiment is almost finished. After that I just have to crunch all the data, get a couple presentations thrown together, and maybe start working on a paper. Also, I need to figure out what I'm going to do next. I have a few ideas but they all just reuse the same experimental methodology that I've already done and I'd rather do something new so I can gain more varied experience. Plus the experiment I've been running is REALLY involved and I'd really prefer to not do it again for awhile.

HAHAAH..... a useless major... I was thinking about making one... when I understood it was a complete waste of time... and that my teachers were telling me the same.

[QUOTE="trubluah"][QUOTE="StrawberryHill"]

I wouldn't worry about your job at Pizza Hut. Fast food jobs are ****...they are also disposable. Like previously stated, start looking for a job elsewhere if you hate it. Customer service jobs are a dime a dozen.

StrawberryHill

barely in the market that we are in now. There's more unemployment then there are hires.

Yeah, that could be true. I just know that in years past, the food service industry has always had a high turn over rate, thus a lot of open positions. It could be different now.

Maybe, but people these days are taking their jobs for granted. People who dont' have jobs are willing to go through the BS just to get a paycheck. There's ways to handle BS professionally where things will be changed.

Useless major? Neuroscience is one of the most popular majors at my university because it's pretty much the ideal major for preparing for med school. If med school isn't your cup of tea then the major is also great preparation for a grad program in psychology, neuroscience (obviously), biology, anthropology, and if you wing it you could also probably get in a decent amount of chemistry preparation in there as well.

Well, we didn't talked about the same thing. A major, here, is a post Bachelor, which I thought you were doing allusion since of your lab job.

Well, I am finishing my Bachelor in engineering which is easily the second hardest degree to get as 1st cycle degree in university. So I pass through what you are telling me... 5 years ago.

If you can't even have some respect in a decent job, why not getting into prostitution? You don't get any respect in both of them... :P

Just ignore bastards like these. If they keep bothering you, just tell him to shut up. If the manager tells you to do something, just do it. They're really stubborn and won't let you talk back.

It doesn't mean you need to have been talking on the job. You could have been talking about something inappropriate louder than you needed to, for all we know.
