I saw my coworker jogging after they had called in sick. Should I tell my boss?
This is an area that I have really struggled in for the past couple of years, so I’m choosing to share. No matter what is going on around us in our places of employment our only concern, as employees is OURSELVES. Do you feel cheated when a coworker calls in sick and you see them later jogging because ‘it isn’t fair/right’? Of course you do, because like other people you believe that if you call in sick.. you should be sick.. and not just with a minor headache, but sick to the point where coming to work would be embarrassing and/or impossible. Do you gnash your teeth because a coworker calling in sick means you have to cover them? That you have more work do to? Of course you do, because that’s how it looks. But take a breath and step back. YOU aren’t personally responsible for your co-worker. You are at work to do the job you were hired for. It is the job of management to track production and address the needs of your department due to the workload.Where this gets sticky for me personally has to do with my own work ethic. I’m one who likes to be AT work AT my desk with my equipment powered up at the stroke of the hour I’m scheduled to start working. Other people meander in at their scheduled start time and take 15 minutes to take of their coat, get coffee, chat with others and such before actually getting to work. Does it drive me crazy? Yes. Did I entertain thoughts of running to management about it? Oh you betcha. What i learned over time is this- we spend so much of our lives at work that there HAS to be some give. While I don’t feel the need for ‘water cooler chat’ in the morning, I might take a few minutes at some point in the day (that isn’t during a break or on lunch)to chat with a coworker.I’ve found that my own desire to ‘tattle’ comes from a selfish place and that it’s not up to me to be playground monitor. I worry about myself and my actions and trust that the rest will come to bear as it should. Karma being what it is and all.Also.. as others have said..if you don’t know the whole story you can wind up stirring a big pot of ugly.. and NO ONE needs that. Your coworkers and your management team will appreciate knowing you’re not stirring that pot or contributing to a bad attitude. So do keep mum. You’ll be glad of it eventually.
What are some negative repercussions you’ve experienced from having visible tattoos?
Jusgements and discrimination obviously are the biggest issues. Being derided by people because they made a rash judgement is to be expected because people can be closed minded and small minded. I really do not mind because I know my worth so I ignore ignorant humans. I feel pity for them because they are ignorant. Another issue is it can be a magnet for law enforcement to harass you, yes it happens, and sometimes can be quite dangerous. I have been cuffed, held at gun point because of these small minded beliefs. However, even law enforcement officers are human. By the way before you judge me because you are LE or a do or die LE fan. I am a tattoo artist/business owner, and a teacher. No felonies, no criminal history, also I am an ordained minister, so don’t embarrass yourself by putting your judgements in a reply to me.By the way I feel my tattooed body suit actually is an advantage because it brings out the bad behavior in people right away, and that allows me to avoid them.I hope this answered the question.

Ethics in the Workplace?
36 questions (you split them into two Yahoo questions) and you don't know a single one of the answers? Not one? You can't put any effort into this at all, and expect other people to do all the work? How would you even know if someone trolled you with wrong answers?
Can my boss fire me if I get a facial tattoo?
In Norway - most probably not, but it depends on what your job is and what the tattoo looks like.If you’re in a customer-facing position, and the tattoo is one that is clearly socially unacceptable where you live, and which therefore interferes with your ability to do a good job, then your boss most likely can fire you or at the very least relocate you to a less customer-interacting job. Both the size and placement and the content of the tattoo will matter, termination has to be reasonable, and while firing a waiter with a swastika on his chin is almost certainly going to be judged reasonable, firing a waitress for having a small butterfly near her ear would most likely be judged not reasonable.If you’re not in a customer-facing job, then you can get away with more, but there’s still certain lines you can’t cross without risking termination. That’ll be the case if the content of your tattoos is such that your mere presence can be said to be creating a hostile work-environment for your colleagues, for example. The swastika I mentioned above would be judged that way, as would other symbols associated with hate-groups.These are subjective judgments to some degree, so it’s impossible to say precisely where the limit may go for a given job without having an actual court-case about it. If you want maximum freedom of employment it’s best to be careful with tattoos on body-parts that can’t easily be covered up while working such as the face, and especially with tattoos that have strong political and/or hateful messages.
