Arghh! How am I supposed to respond to a boss who addresses any of my job concerns with, "If I made as much as you.."
I'm a young professional, who happens to make 2-3x my administrator boss's salary. I still live like a student and don't brag or flaunt my salary, but whenever I bring a legitimate work issue to him he basically tells me because I make a good salary that I should just deal with it. Most recently, my schedule was being changed from 12 hour day shifts, to 12 hour overnight shifts with less than 24 hours notice. This is on top of being pressured to work extra 12 hour shifts in addition to my regular 50 hour weeks(salary non-exempt). I told him that I don't feel that the amount of hours I'm working is sustainable, and that I think being expected to switch from days to nights basically on a phone call isn't reasonable. His response was, "If made as much as you..." and then to walk away. If this was a one time thing, I could blow it off, but I've gotten the same/similar response whenever I have tried to bring staffing/hour concerns to him. This is from a guy, who leaves sharply at 4:30 and doesn't work weekends/holidays.
Since I'm a fairly recent graduate, out of college about a year, I'm not in a position to just tell him to F off, but I really don't know how to handle this. I'm thankful for my salary, but I don't think it entitles my manager/company to treat me like crap. Would really appreciate any insight, or advise from the forum. Thanks!
