I'm Applying to Other Shops Now

Continuing my infamous saga at the shop I work at, I went to ask you-know-who if it was possible to touch up a frame that had been built.

When I pointed it out and asked what her suggestion would be to touch it up, it devolved into accusations of "Why did you build it if there was an imperfection in the moulding? (I saw it after the fact)", "We're gonna have to eat the cost of this $500 frame! (which is ironic to say because she mismanaged far more than that dollar amount of somebody else's money last month)", "You need to ask me before you built this! (I don't ever want to ask because I fear retributions like this, and she's also chronically late two hours every day so she wasn't there to ask, anyway)".

While she was busy whining I actually took a stand this once when she criticized my close touch-up job in the corner and the tiny dent in the moulding, saying "This can't leave the shop! We need to paint over this!" I said it looked better than it did, but yes, let's go ahead and paint it (in a mildly annoyed tone because I'm fed up at this point). I just dislike her own tone because the way she talks implies I'm not trying in the slightest.

Then she goes "You don't need to get defensive." I can get a lot more than defensive at this point, and believe me, I'd love to.

On top of that, one of the dents that I hadn't even remotely begun to touch up (except with a wood marker) she tries to gaslight me in saying that the room it was in before, it was just a dent and there wasn't paint missing. She looked at it only five minutes before before I moved it to my work table, when it was already missing paint. I move it, and all of a sudden NOW she notices it's missing paint and then tries to get accusatory again.

Anyway, I'm actually beginning to fill out the applications because I can't take the belittling any more. Every interaction is like this. Yes, maybe I could have done a better job in quality control here, I'm not denying that. What I'm not standing for is being talked to like I haven't framed for seven years or like I'm a child.

I do not want to work like this anymore.

I'm sorry to keep blowing up this framing subreddit with doom and gloom posts like this but this person has killed my love for framing.
