When I was 19 years old I managed to get a job as an assistant to a mortgage loan consultant.
When I got the job (through strong persuasion and by carrying myself well) I felt on-top of the world. At the age of 19 I was making $32,000/yr and that was pretty good I thought. At first I felt a strong sense of respect from my boss. But now, he just treats me like **, our incompetent processor realized that every time she screws up she can easily blame me and does so. Even when I prove my case…I don’t get an “I’m sorry” after receiving very very insulting emails like; “I work sooo hard to build my reputation and I’m not going to let anyone, including you, ruin it.”
The funny thing is that he wants me to work for him for at least 3 years. I mean I go out of my way for him and he knows it. I sometimes work on Saturdays (and I don’t get paid because I’m salaried) and many times come in early or even leave very late to help him with his loans.
