If you didn't/don't like the constituents of the job, why on earth would you have accepted it?

Sorry...no sympathy.

Nope. Not "just as bad". Not nearly. Those laws apply to the interviewer, not the interviewee. Nothing illegal about deciding to answer them.

No sympathy? I slept pretty well last night, regardless

I think that is only when you are laid off. Why would a supervisor help you get another job? And he probably thinks it's full-time

It's actually quite common and I would suggest doing so. It let's you know how you're doing (in the eyes of your boss) and gives you proof if he tries to s*c*r*e*w you over at the end for some reason. Good reasons could be you're going to be doing some volunteering, and therefore need a reference. You want to work in your church, at your child's school, whatever.

Again, Google is your friend

What the forum posters do try to do is support the OP by helping her stay employed or get a real perspective on the employment scene in today's challenging job market. I think the GenX's do need alignment on their perspective in many cases.

However, I am totally pleased that your dialogue resulting in a pay raise! Happy for you.

Actually, many posters did support him and acted as though I am a baby for wishing to be paid for my time. I believe one poster even said "Your boss is 100% right".

Anyway, thanks for the congrats.
