Personally, no matter how much I may have hated an old boss I never burn bridges.
I've been able to learn from every work experience and I'm grateful for that. I'm sure being it was your first "legit" job, it helped you get to where you are now.
- fully agree duder. sometimes though, there is a place to 'define' the relationship, no?
madirish - note: if this becomes the *only* every NT girl ever comments thread...... high fivemadirish

- I agree with you as well, but mainly because I haven't had any really horrible bosses.Jaline
- There is no lasting relationship I havent seen the guy in 6 years and I believe he doesn't even work in the industry anymore due to his bad rep following him.shellie

Is this man balding? Does he have a nasal-ie voice that makes you want to scream? Does he wear old baseball caps with his suits? Because we just may have had the same boss...

@2cents: No high road here -- hell yes I bragged to him. He made my teenager life pure hell for a year and a half.
There's something about some 30 something prick LA douche leaning on you, stealing your early works for his portfolio, teasing and bashing you or others in front of other staffers as a show of power that still stings so many years later. That quick snipe was just what the Dr. ordered.
I've had some terrible bosses since. I should have added that I learned how to deal with dickheads on the regular with plenty of ease since my stint at that label.
- You sound like a pleasure to work with.2cents

The music industry is terrible. I commend your cajones on this matter.
So are you back in honour of the blog post reaching 20000? It’s been a while, unless I’m mistaken.

My first boss was an ass too. At least that's what I thought of hime while working for him. After I left the company we actually ended up having a good friendship.
- Mr1000
So did you work on anything we would be familiar with?
- lots and lots of old stuff. Most of the sites from back then are dead because they were tied to record releases.shellie
- it wasn't as cool as it seemed like it would be. lots of huge artists with crappy template sites a la 2001-2002shellie
- I hear ya. I did lots of cover art for an indie label in Aus. But mostly it was just hack workMr100
- i guess we all start somewhere. Those jobs always seem like a wonderful idea at the start.shellie

yeah, my first boss was a prick. He was a drunken serbian who used to scream "YOU STUPID COCK MOTHERFUCK!" at me and smash things when he was angry.
He also secretly cut my pay by %15 and changed the hour sheets when no one was looking.
but what did I know, I was just some kid working a fuckin' propane station in the -20 Canadian winter. My hands would start to crack up and bleed because my skin would get so cold and dry, but at 7 dollars an hour, it was worth it.
- but im sure the record industry sucks too.ThePublics
- "You stupid cock motherfuck" sounds like words to swing fists by.shellie
- yeah, dude had a good hundred pounds on me though, and now hes just an old man so..ThePublics
- boris the blade?

no wonder you're a bitch now, this explains it all, dinnit?
- I guess. But that's a pretty cunty thing to say. If the suit fits, wear it.shellie
