Urgh I feel so sorry for you! Laura's been filling me in on what's been going on and he kinda sounds like my boss, whose landscaping bill is more money than I have in my account TO LIVE OFF OF, and who prides himself on making people who work for him cry.
i think he's obviously trying to exploit you. maybe you should demand you get paid a better wage or get a % of profits that is a direct result of your work. if he values you for your work/skills then he'll likely concede. if he doesn't, then he probably doesn't give a crap about you - and if that were the case why would you want to willingly play a role in helping this man get richer and richer while he takes you for granted and pays you the least amount possible?
I agree, but what I got paid didn't bother me, it's all the other stuff you mentioned--him exploiting everyone he possibly can and just being a general asshole.
I kinda feel bad now. All this time I've just been helping him exploit others. I just didn't see that when I started.
I'm contemplating whether I should tell him off, or just be diplomatic. I feel like telling him off, but I've never really done that before. As far as whether he'll give a bad reference or not, it won't matter what I do. I'm sure as of this moment, he'd just bitch about me (he can be pretty juvenile), because I didn't show up for work at a specific time and place even though he NEVER told me where it was or what time. Yes, he actually expects people to read his mind because he doesn't care to give that little bit of effort saying what wants.
