Reason for leaving last job?

And I reckon that goes both ways. I guess I'll just say that I quit to prepare myself for my CDL course as that was my long term employment goal.

The only thing I'm worried about is what my old supervisor will say when the trucking company asks him the same question.

 

Sure, but the only problem is that I resigned about two months early.

 

To all those turning this confession into a sign of weakness or a macho pissing contest about who can put up with the most hostile work environments while still remaining cool and unaffected...
Congratulations! You win!

Newsflash: Humans have feelings!

Hearing some random trucker on a cb telling dick jokes is not the same thing as having to endure the economic blackmail of being screamed at by the person who controls your family's livelihood, and not being left any choice but to either endure recurring instances of verbal abuse while being taunted that I'm too chicken, too stupid, too careless, and too soft or be left back at square one, unemployed, despite being a very good worker.

This guy was a psycho. He literally got red in the face and screamed at someone when they didn't do something the way he wanted, because he never even explained it to them in the first place. I'm a pretty intuitive person, and this guy looked at me like he wanted to kill me on more than one occasion. I never saw anything like it before.

Oh sure, I could have reported him to the next higher in the chain of command, but that was his dad, and most co-workers assured me he was even more of a monster. Otherwise I would have.

I had the last straw moment where he started going off on me, following me to my car, and taunting me.

Well you know how that made me feel? It made me feel like turning the guy's face into a bloody pancake with my fists, and it took me quite a bit of self-restraint not to. I still feel the anger when I think back to that day.

It surprises me how much people like this get on such a power trip and bully their workers on a regular basis. Don't they take into consideration all the workplace shootings that have happened in this country?

And that's still a problem in this society.

So, go ahead and ask me just how many more times in my life I could tolerate similar situations.

Patience and tolerance are virtues not signs of weakness.

I agree with the other poster about just keeping your head down, not talking to anyone, and just getting the job done. There are a lot of decent people out there, but are there are also a ton of people with an axe to grind. I just don't get it.
