"Can't buy my love"

simplyfiredstories submitted 606 days ago

So I just moved to New York City and I get a job in my first week at a small Real Estate office�

(On day 2 of interviewing, my soon-to-be-boss takes me to a pricey lunch. That should have been an indicator of months to come)

During the next 7 months I am asked things like

�how much� (am I) ?

�What if I buy you an apartment in the city?�

�Do you want to be a kept woman� (showing his age here�a super wealthy 64 yr. old)

ETC�

I refused week after week, but keeping in mind that I need to keep this job for the NY experience on my resume�

Very crafty this one; he got his son to come back and work for him�slowly, my workload began to dwindle.

When I was fired, (laid off), it was due to �not enough work�

Yeah, we�ve all heard that one before.

For the record, I did collect unemployment, and I didn�t sue.

But damn, that apartment on 5th Ave. sure would�ve been nice�
