I work in retail, but with what I would say to him it will not matter if he had the power to fire me. Jobs are hard to get around here. It took me years to get this one to get out from under the thumb of a big corporation.
Only chance I would have is getting fired, so then I have a chance to try and get unemployment for a few months. Then I'll be homeless, which I will never deal with. I'm not someone employers are looking to hire.
