I was working 4 days a week on my part time job now, because one lady has emergency with her family all of sudden, and I have to fill in for her. Now, this manager lady trained me do the cashier work, and she has this high demand. I did my best to learn everything these few days, and she just trying to push me to be perfect, but also I have to get all the numbers right, and the cash amount must be correct. Sometimes, I want to be careful when I hand count those cash, then she yelled about how slow I am. When I try to speed up myself and have the cash count and paper work done in time, she has such suspicious tone about whether I had done right or not. So, it is hard to please her. In addition, she doesn't pay me that much, and I had to do most of the work for her while she was playing with her iPhone thingy. With her harsh words, and all those hostile attitude toward me, I was thinking about quit at the moment, and before I go, I will curse her in front of her face which will give me the pleasure of revenge. I am still hesitating whether to quick or not at the moment, since I have free time during the weekend too.

Well, with your manager like that, i think it's your choice if you think you can handle it or not. But in my experience working part time job, this would be awesome since i was paid in hours and to fill people hours would give me more cash in the end of the month. That and my manager and supervisor are really good with me and all staff. I had a great run working for 3 month. Great time working with them. My supervisor mostly would help all staff doing their work and we never think about what we called here "short" which mean the cash in the cashier would be less than what it should be because most of the time, my supervisor would deal with it his way and everyone will be happy. I have a strict manager, but she was fun when you get to know her. That's the working environment everyone should have.

My boss is very similar category like your boss. My office is from 9am to 5pm. When i go to office, my boss tell me to do this 7 report ready before leave office today. but if i finish this report before 3pm, he says, "your report quality is not satisfied level, need to improve more". if i can't finish all those report before leaving office, he says,"your performance is very poor". I am skill thinking whether i continue this job or leave this job. Its really very difficult to do job under this type of boss.

If you have some time to think in a positive way you have still the benefit of it. Nowadays it is very hard to find a job and your are one of those lucky to have one. Since you work there as a part time only, you can have more time to find another job but don't quit on your recent job. Your also lucky to learn the accounting way even it is so hard but still you can have more knowledge on it and you don't have to go on school for accounting. And when you apply for a new job you can use it for a reference and also you can apply for a higher job for you have a knowledge in accounting. All patience in life has a gain on it, and if you have it someday you will gain on it.

If you think it is too much burdening your back, you'd be better off quitting it. It might destroy you physically. Not now but it will in the long run.

Well, i haven't got the same situation like you in work. Sometime we meet a fastidious boss who asks this and that whole day. if you feel it is still ok for you with good stipend then you can continue that work. Our goal is earn money and still have a time in the weekend...^^
If you can't stand her anymore, just feel frustrated whenever going to work, better you quit it and find a new one. There are many chance for you to find a new part time job out there, earning money is the first but we have to select a good environment of working also, after working time, we should feel happy and wanna continue it tomorrow.
Hope you have a good decision.
Good luck

I have a bully boss where I work but I am sticking it out until my own business brings in enough income for me to quite. If you have another form of income or another job to go do then do so but meanwhile smile sweetly do your job in your own time and do not let her negatively affect you. hard I know but think twice before walking away as job are not easy to come by these days. If there is someone in higher management that you can go to I would suggest you have a quiet word so that they are aware of the situation. I would also maybe have a conversation with the lady manager that you are helping by doing extra so why is she so spiteful towards you? huggles. Ellie :D

awww tell her to shut up. 
kidding.
Seriously, she should get a grip. Or if you are really wanting to quit, then if you can afford to, then quit.
Revenge is bad my friend.

If the pay isn't very good, and you don't need it for a resume, switch jobs. I have had friends that swapped jobs for a better boss that is very kind and pays more, so you never know.
Jobs can be a false security after all.

This lady is crazy! It's intolerable for a manager to behave like this. Unfortunately these things happen everywhere and many times ladies have this kind of behaviour. Your story reminds me of a lady who was a manager at my work and she used to humiliate many people publicly. Thanks God we don't see her very often now - she has become the big boss!

These things are normal in the workplace. There will always be a boss that wants you to get your job done properly after all they are the ones paying you. It's part of the pressure so what you can do is just learn from it and take it as constructive. I had that experience wherein I had a part time job and I quit because I thought I had no time for school works and reports. I regret from that decision because I realize that I could manage my time for school and my part time job.
Well, it depends on your needs. You know that you have a free time during the weekend so might as well have a job to make your day productive. But if you really want to concentrate on something else then leave the job. Dont quit just because your boss was really harsh and rude. Good luck.

Some people in management positions or other positions take advantage of their employees and will treat them in awful manners. You have the right to stand up for yourself many employers are being sued for such incidents. Handling money is extremely important and you should be careful. Maybe she sees something in you that makes her jealous or perhaps she's just not happy. You must let her know that you are not pleased at the way she treats you. Do not allow the behavior to continue. If you feel that its to much for you to handle than you may want to look for another part-time job. Good luck!
