Today, I had a new job, quitting the last job because of the constant increasing responsibility with no increase in pay. The boss from my last job keeps calling me crying asking how to do things at her business because she has not done any actual "work" for the ten years I worked for her.FML

I wouldn't help her, she couldn't do her own job and had you do it for her now it's come back to bite her in the ass

as somebody whose in an industry that's often undervalued for their work...I will suggest you offer her help....for a fee of course. you're now freelance you have no obligation to help her. helping her for free is what landed you in this position, people who will take advantage always will keep trying

Assuming you liked your old job, now would be a good time to negotiate a raise!

Doesn't matter if the OP liked the job. The boss abused them and undervalued them as an employee. Not amount of money can buy a new attitude for that employer.

I would give more up votes if I could. Well played sir, well played.

Contact your phone providers and block all any numbers that are connected to her. If she continues after that, you might have to change your number. Sorry OP.

I would say that it is F her life (your old boss). You did a smart move.

Agree to be a consultant for them at an extortionate rate until they've worked themselves out. Don't help for free!
