Whats up with this!

I have worked for the same family in a professional job for 20 years. I get medical,week paid vacation and 3 paid holidays. I am currently making 1.75 more than the person who has worked for them for 4 years, who also geTs week paid vacation,and more OT. I have to wonder if I have out lived My usefulness at work or if they would prefer it if I just quit? They call me on the carpet for everything at the sAme time give the other person what ever it wants. I am not listened to the other one is. So what does It mean to loose the enjoyment of work over being unemployed???

You've been there for 20 years and you only have 1 week vaca?

Time to move on...

I can empathize with you. I also think that my boss prefers others in our department and never listens to me, in fact I know he does not even read my emails because he comes over and asks me something I have already answered. It does not bother me too much what does bother me is that if I do the same thing, I get called out. Please note though that you making only a little more than your co-worker who has been there a shorter amount of time is not uncommon. Because of the salary increases over the years, new hires seem to come in at a higher rate than those long term employees who have received raises. I hate the fact that there is no respect in the work force, and feel like bosses accept positions who are not qualified for the supervisory skills that are required. They accept the position but do not want the work that goes along with it (the managerial tasks that is).
