I got a feeling I'm on a Snipe hunt or something?
I can't discuss it fully because of the NDA I signed.
Make/find the list and send an email to your boss explaining that you've done it but anticipate these problems in future, If/when someone complains bring out that email.
If the place is as toxic as it sounds then this buys you time to build up savings and/or job hunt.
Boss refuses to answer by email, everything is him calling me in his office and yelling at me for not finding the list of things he wants in the program.
I'm deep in student debt and trying to find a way to earn money besides as a software consultant, etc.
Before this I worked fast food and other minimum wage jobs. I'm scared that I'll fail.
Your not sending the email to get an answer, you're creating a paper trail. You might want to BCC yourself on it as well for any type of unemployment claims or other legalities. We call this covering your ass and it's a good skill to learn.
> It is supposed to be used by a law firm and I have a boss that doesn't understand this stuff. We already had a few people quit over it and I was not told about it until I had signed the NDA and been there for a few weeks.
How long has the project been going? It sounds like a pretty straight forward task apart from the data collection.
Edit - If you're under a lot of stress from this it might be worth seeing a therapist as well, before things get worse. Remember that jobs come and go, going back to food service for a while isn't the worst thing. You aren't your work either, if the boss is insisting on doing something in a crappy way that's no reflection on you personally.
