1. Do not put me in a completly white walled atmosphere, with grey cubicles and DEAD SILENCE. I will go insane, grab the nearest office utensil and begin bludgening you with it.

2. DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT have your artist knowingly break the law every day hundreds of times a week by having them scan in artwork from magazine publications and salon photography books so that we can use them in our latest coupon.

3. Do not go to your client and have them sign a release, especially since most of the companies your salespeople go after are small mom and pop shops, copyright infringement can and will shut a place down like that with heavy fines, and since your to weasily to tell them the awful truth, this is one of the reasons why i quit.

4. Do not tell me that you will bring me in on contract for 2 weeks, then upon completion of two weeks have me wait another week before finally holding a meeting with me on the subject. Also do not ask me to work on contract for another 2 weeks after said late meeting, when you know damn well im waaaaaaaay over qualified for this position in the first place.

5. Do not talk down to me like a stupid ass, esp when the boss calls me in the office to show them how to do a basic layer mask, who is teaching who hear...and who is holding the degree?

6. Do not tell me I cannot use the internet to do tutorials during the down time. Especially when I have been sitting at my desk for 4 straight hours with nothing to do.

7. With regard to above sentence, do not tell me I cannot get copyright/royalty FREE images from SXC because you do not trust the whereabouts of the images, do you recall scanning in famous peoples photography for your measily little ads?

8. Do not put me on a macintosh, and when the thing crashes blame it on me and use the excuse "Oh, well your PC hands probably didnt know what they were doing and pressed some buttons to do that" Yeah right, last time I checked pagemaker wasn't the most stable program, come to think of it, either is OS 9, and a completly black screen with green and red and fubared lines all over it is a normal shortcut, and ill show you what my ****ing PC hands can do, dumb shit.

9. Do not make me wear slacks and a collared shirt, especially if im sitting at a computer all day, ever heard of something called comfort? Obviously not considering the salespeople are sitting in nice tall back leather chairs, while we are on lowbacks with not even height adjustment, and the salespeople get to leave too, they hardly even use them.

10. Do not pay me as much as a cashier at a grocery store, it humbles me...

:D

Ha ha ha, that was great. Sorry it didn't work out man but we both knew this wasn't gonna be "the" job. I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did. Dress code for designers, hell they should just be happy we are dressed period :cool:

Oh I just got soooo many bad memories flooding back while reading that.

Good luck, D-Frag! You will find better - even if it's working at Starbucks for a while, ya know? Free gourmet coffee sounds pretty good right now.

I am glad you have ethics! It may not seem so now, but the right job is out there for you. I am sending all of my good karma your way. You deserve it.

Good Ethics=Good Karma

It will happen!

Um...did I just quit? Ha! That sounds way too much like my job. I think this place is trying to tell me something. Of course I already know it.

Congrats, yes congrats on quiting! You did the right thing. They don't deserve you.

Good luck and I agree with Vikia...GE = GK!!
