Boss's boss fired. Boss on probation, I just got put on probation and teammates think my situation unfair. ???
nicely, you will possibly desire to have been well mannered and invited him interior the 1st place. How rude. you have extra suitable than one orifice, and below no condition will I settle for that '3 is a crowd'. Oh, in the adventure that your boss is the jealous type, tell him the only way you may end it with the IT guy is that in case you get promoted. or you will possibly experience as in case you have been being insubordinate. tell him (the boss) purely he knows of the thank you to place it on a woman. additionally tell your boss that the secretary 'gets around' in case you recognize what I mean. this might do away with the risk she poses to you as no guy needs to describe to his spouse the place he have been given 'that rash' from. Edit: Cissie, i do no longer see you offering up something extra advantageous. i do no longer see you offering up something at involved approximately that count number. Jealous lots?
I have had this experience. My company chose to fire me by email while I was on a planned vacation. This was my first time ever being fired, so I have no other experience to compare it with. The email mentioned several areas where my boss claimed to be dissatisfied with my performance. None of them had ever been expressed to me before, verbally or in writing.My ego definitely felt stung. Fire me? By email? Who do they think they are?It took only a few minutes of reflection to realize I had just received a blessing: freedom from a bad situation.The fact that my boss chose to deliver the news by email (she did not even do it herself but gave the job to another manager) spoke volumes about the quality of the company and its leadership. And, thanks to the email, I had the freedom to choose how, and when, I wanted to respond.I replied to the email a few hours later, after I'd had a chance to let all my emotions run their course. I wrote that I was disappointed it hadn't been a better fit, and I wished them luck in finding a great candidate for the position. I also requested to have my final paycheck mailed to me.When I returned from vacation, I sent a note to a few colleagues at that company, saying that I'd enjoyed working with them and let's stay in touch. A couple of them called me to share how the news of my dismissal had been handled at the firm (everyone was both surprised that I'd been fired and unsettled that it had been done by email).Since then, I have been much more careful in choosing the people I work with. My current job situation is phenomenal, and I never would have landed here if I'd been trying to make things work out with a boss who didn't value me.Bottom line, stay professional and move on to the next thing.
Don't mix business with pleasure. Don't do it. If you were meant to be together you wouldn't be having this question. Honestly, a boss who is flirting with his employee isn't exactly a stellar boss. Imagine if the liking was one-sided. That would be sexual harassment and no boss should make their employees feel awkward where they work. Not fair as many don't have other options and need the money to pay the bills.You also have to look at several things. Why do you like him? Many times I have admired my bosses and developed an irrational admiration for a man who has power over me. When I was younger I made the mistake of getting involved with my boss. After we started, I realized it was the power situation that clouded my judgement and he wasn't so much of a good fit, but an exciting daydream scenario. He wanted to continue and I wanted to bring things back to an unawkward business professional attitude. Let's just say he made my life impossible and I had to quit that great job with a fantastic future and had burned a bridge and recommendation because of my bad decision. Don't do it.You are stuck working together every single day and there is no out unless you quit. My suggestion is to find a different role under another person so he isn't your boss. Or find a new job elsewhere. If you STILL feel strongly about him, give it a go! But you may find the charm is completely lost when he is no longer your boss. This is a very well-known effect from working together. It even happens with coworker's as you become office husbands/wives de to the proximity and closeness of working together daily. But a boss-employee relationship has a stronger dynamic due to power. Don't do it.If you are at your company to build and grow, this could destroy that chance. Even if it does work out, things will get weird if he is still your direct boss and you will have to disclose your relationship so there is no favoritism and partisan work distribution etc. It makes sense you both feel this way, but honestly, there are SO MANY others out there besides your direct boss and his direct report that you can date anyone without ruining your chances where you work every day. It's where you get the money to bring home the bacon you eat, and you know what they say… don't **** where you eat.Don't do it.
Depend on your situtation, but if you feel it is harassement you should talk to him.When I started as an intern, my boss (at first) did no bother to learn my name and kept calling me “the little intern” or “the little girl” in front of other coworkers. At first I felt like you, I was an intern and though I was more of a burden to them anyway. BUT, eventually I though “they chose me as an intern, so they do need me” and I was getting increasingly annoyed with the name thing. So a few week after I begun, when he called me “the little intern” again in front of a coworker I just said “the little intern has a name, sir” and his eyes went wide and he just said “oooh, someone is stepping up!”After that he never called me the little intern again and always called me by my name. I felt I also got more respect from the other coworkers because I stepped up and my internship went really well.The thing is, if you don’t feel respected, even if he is your boss he does not have the right to diminish you in any way. If he is taking the piss out of you disrespectfully, there is a good chance other coworkers feel that too, but they feel its not their business to step in. It is your duty for your self respect to talk to him about it, calmly and respectfully (being calm while settling a problem is a way to protect yourself if he gets angry remeber that).Definetly confront him and make stand that you cannot tolerate any disrespectful behavior toward yourself and also others, that it is diminishing the work environement.If he doesn’t stop, it can be deemed harrassment and most countries have laws for that in the workplace.
My boss wants me to move up in the company...but I don't want to?
Maybe you are just not the kind of person that thrives on promotion. Just be honest with him. Let him know you are happy where you are, and that at this time, you just want to stay put. That way someone who really wants the position, who will have the strong desire and passion for the job, will get it. However, in the current state of the economy you may want to take a couple of days and think about your options. also, is there a pay raise involved? Added benefits/bonuses? And how are you going to feel if you have to work under this new person? What if they are a micro-manager and drive you insane? My wife has a similar outlook that you do, which is completely different from my own. It actually drives me crazy at times because she just wants to stay where she is (kind of meandering thorugh life), and I'm the kind of person who is always looking for the next big challange. Personally, I wouldn't let an opportunity like that slip through my fingers, because if my boss is telling me "I'm too smart" for a position, he's basically saying he things I'm not reaching my full potential, and wants me to be a bigger part of the company....which is a huge compliment and challange. Sure there may be somethings you don't know on the onset, but you boss probably isn't expecting you to know everything day one. He does think you are capable, otherwise he would not have brought it up. Take 3 days to think about it, let it set in, it may turn out you are just nervous about it....but nerves can be a great motivator...as is a higher salary
Can my boss make me work if I’m sick?
You were scheduled for a certain shift because they need coverage during this time. If you can't report for work, you are expected to find someone to cover your shift. Whether you find someone to cover your shift or not, your employer can take disciplinary action (like a written warning or attendance write up) for your failure to report for work. Nobody can physically make you report to work for any reason on any day, but there are always consequences to your actions. Just remember that. Not reporting to work when scheduled, or reporting late/leaving early, makes you look pretty unreliable. And therefore very replaceable.
My boss and coworkers are hypocrites... should I call them out?
I would definately do something about this situation. I definately feel your frustration. I have been in your situation and I know how it feels when as a typically nice person, you suddenly do or say something wrong and everyone is like out to get you and run you down for it, but when it comes to them and what they do and say it is a different story all together. I was in a nightmare situation with another coworker who almost attacked me because I started to speak up a little bit. He never had a problem with me when I kept my mouth shut, but the minute I said something, he was out for blood. Example: This same coworker was always very patronizing toward me and if he felt like giving me advice about my work or taking over my work he just would even if I hadn't asked him. But if I said anything to him, then it was different. Like one time he approached me to give me advice about my work. He had a patronizing attitude of "I know you didn't know this but....(How did he know that I didn't know, he just felt like he knew better) For some reason I felt bothered by that so I said to him, I hope you aren't going to make a big issue out of the work because I know how you are. Well that set him off. Off course, he could be condescending but the minute I said something, it was time for an argument. It didn't matter if I had not said anything every other time. The one time I did say something, suddenly I'm branded. I don't think that you should call anyone out because then it will make you seem like a difficult coworker, when it is really the other way around. They aren't aware of their own behavior, so when someone says something to them, it can quickly turn into a situation you weren't intending on. Just start writing down their behavior and the way you have always handled how they act toward you and how you feel like you are being put to a higher standard than them. But don't say anything. Then when you have enough documentation turn it into the supervisor and then upper management.
Its simple. Be straight forward and let him know. Tell him where he is going wrong or to be precise tell him where you are feeling uncomfortable.While doing so, bring few examples from the past when he was all good and was very supportive towards you. Ask him to be like that again.Tell him that you want to be associated with the organisation for a long time, and thats the reason you took the step in sorting out things.Most of the times managers want their sub ordinates to respect them and when we politely convey our feelings, things will be sorted out. If not there is always a new manager waiting for us elsewhere.Hope this helps.
See, very frankly confronting your boss is not at all a good idea. Boss is boss. I know a boss can be a big fool but it is not your job to tell that to him/her. First of all, be very composed when caught is such a situation. Do not take things to your heart. Keep it in your cool mind. Take a break and if possible, go away from the conflict place. This will help you to cool your anger a bit. Next is to stop finding logic in what happened. Since your boss is in a senior position than you, so no one can confront him, and you will have to live with that the whole time of your employment. It’s his domain or area and you, as a junior, hold less powers. So, judicially you will always be at loss if you ever fight with your boss. Rest is upto you how well you play in this situation.
For adults in the workplace, you will always be working with people who frustrate you, make you angry, irritate you, and are just plain hard to work with. Bosses and co-workers. You can’t escape it, it will be with you always.Leaving a job just because your boss frustrates you, in my opinion, is a poor reason to leave a job. I would first try to deal with the situation as best I could. If you like everything else (including the company you are working for), then try to find a different position or move to a different group with a different boss.I once had the misfortune to work for someone who was very devious and dishonest. In all other respects I loved my job, my co-workers, and the company. But it was very hard to work under her. Over time, there were major changes at the company and it became a good time to leave. I don’t regret that decision, but I did spend 5 years trying to work with her as my boss. I am not saying that works for everyone.
