It wasn't long after I started that I realized how unprofessional the owner was. I mostly laughed it off as him being an eccentric until I had to go to a trade show with him. He made me drive the whole time to and from Washington DC as well as do all of the manual labor of setting up our show booth (note: He didn't want to pay the unionized shipping dock so I had to carry everything several blocks). While I was unloading he even went and got lunch for himself (didn't even offer to pick me up anything). He stayed at a nice hotel in town with the car and made me get a taxi to my hotel and take the subway to the convention center each day (along with a 40 pound industrial light fixture.) On the ride home he made me drop him off in Manhattan and take the subway home.
A week later I was fired without warning.
