It's not a debt. It's a transaction.

I agree to give you this, and you agree to give me that. Both parties agree and the transaction is complete.

If I am selling my product, I am not specifically required to accept green pieces of paper, bars of yellow metal, or cows. [Your mileage my vary based on local laws] We either agree to an equitable trade, or we do not agree.

Comment I couldn't stand my boss (Score 2) 540

I just did not get along with my manager. He made stupid decisions, he blamed me (even wrote me up) for his mistakes. My co-workers basically indicated that it's my job to get along with him, and not his job to get along with me, so that impacted my relationship with my co-workers too.

I think the final straw was that I had surgery right before my annual review was due. A week in the hospital, a week on bed rest, a week light-duty-no-driving, a week light-duty-with-driving. He asked me during my "bed rest" week to come in for my annual review. I declined. He asked if I would come in during my no-driving week, and again I declined. When he finally gave me this annual review, it had zero raise.

PostScript -- one of the co-workers I stopped getting along with over this incident -- he left six months later, citing this same manager's stupid decisions.
