Would you flirt with your boss?
My Boss is a lot older than me and don't get me wrong he is a nice looking man-but I respect him and He has taught me so much and we are Friends. BTW-he has been married 7 times. He is a very intelligent man and he believes in doing a Job and doing it Top Notch. He has flirted and does sometimes, but I pay him no attention-it's just pure innocent fun and it makes the day go by sometimes when we're having a rough one. He has been very good to me and shows me his appreciation and I really Respect him so Much.He knows that too. He hasn't had much luck in relationships because there are so many women going at him for his money. It's really sad and I hate it for him and pray he'll find someone that's Real.He has a lot more to offer than money. He is a kind person. He is also a Doctor and they have it hard with the Women and always getting called out at all hrs. There are so many women that can't take it. You know it's funny but the Women Doctors don't seem to have that much of a Problem with their spouses, at least the ones I work with don't.Their Men are fine With it!
Why does my married boss always flirt with me?
Okay, my boss is married and has a three year old child. I believe he has been with his wife for overt ten years. I previously worked in a different department until I applied for a job in his department. I was never interviewed for the position, but everyone else that applied was and I don't understand why I was just 'placed' in the department. So, now I am in the department and my boss always jokes with me and says that I flirt with all of the boys in the store and he goes as far as to call one my boyfriend. He always sticks his tounge out at me which reminds of something a child would do. I get very tired of it since someone could overhear and start a rumor which would not be good. I don't know if he just hired me because I have such good work ethics or if he just wanted to flirt with me because he might be attracted to me. I joke around with him too but to be honest, I don't know if it is because of the attention he is giving me but I might have a crush on him now which is not like me. I don't know what to do! I have to see him everyday and I actually had a dream about him last night! I realize that he most likely does like me since he teases me constantly but maybe he is just a jerk, you know? I just wish my crush for him would go away, I can't stand it anymore. I find myself thinking of questions to ask him just so I can talk with him. Wow, I must sound pathetic. I can't even look into his eyes anymore. I think about saying, "Hey, why do you tease me about guys flirting with me when you do it constantly?" So, any advice? Thanks much.
Boss's wife is trying to flirt with me. What can I do?
This is a tense situationand every time it occurs the tensions is on. So realize this and manage through it so that you do what is required to do. The next time she visits, you must not lose your objective and that objective is to find your boss. When she approaches you, approach your boss. As often as she does this you approach your boss. Simply tell you boss "your wife is here". And, ddisappear. Do not talk to her, she isn't your wife. You are an employee. Your ego has gotten you into trouble. You should never be in the position or frame of mind to yell at your bosses wife. If your boss is close enough to you to give you death glares then it is obvious that you are the problem. Don't you know your place at work. Your place is never to have any conversation with your bosses wife. As so as you see her go walk to your boss. If she say, no I'm here to see you. Ignore her foolish request and continue by saying "I last saw your husband... and walk towards that area. If you know that he is gone. Go to the bathroom, go anywhere she can't follow you. Are you stupid or something. Move your legs, don't just stand there as though you are waiting for someone to throw the first punch. MOVE IT.
What do you think, Hire him or request someone else?
I hired a large company to redo my kitchen. They have a list of contractors they hire out. Contractor had to show up 2 times to get the measure. First time was the fault of the company--they gave him the wrong plans. During the conversation I was advised that this was a new contractor to this company. Being told the contractor was new made me very uncomfortable. I advised both the contractor and company that if there were any other problems I would demand a different contractor. Second time the contractor came to my house he was 2 hours late, on a Saturday. (His office insisted on the Saturday appointment.) When he arrived I also noticed he had broken his hand. He said it happened a few days earlier and that was why he was late. But I was aware talking to his office that he was actually overbooked, the previous job was over an hour away. The contractor was pleasant, but reserved. I wonder if he wasn't upset because of my threat to demand a new contractor. The major problems I had were: 1. Broken hand--it seems wrong to make a guy hang cabinets with a broken hand. 2. Mis-communication--the wrong plans, which appears to be corrected 3. Being Late 4. Demanding I test the house for lead or he will charge extra #4 makes me very uncomfortable. My home was built in 1978 and according to the laws lead paint was stopped in or before 1978. The contractor claims that they were still using it through 1979. At this point if I use this company I will have to have the lead inspection done. I wonder if it wasn't out of spite, maybe I am reading too much into it. What do you think?
What should I do when my boss takes away responsibilities and gives them to somebody else?
About 4 months ago, my boss informed me that I would be taking over the Accounts Payable for the company. He specifically said that out of all his employees, he felt that I would be the only one with the skills to handle the job. Since then, I've done the A/P with no problems whatsoever. The work got done and I enjoyed doing it. However, now he tells me he wants another co-worker to do it for a while because I am one of 2 people that know how to do it and he wants this other person to learn it. Now, I don't have a great personal relationship with my boss, I don't really trust him and I don't find him to be very smart either(neither does anybody else in the company), so I basically stay out of his way. This co-worker who will now be doing my job, sucks up to him and I suspect he gave her the responsibility because of that. The question is: What should I do about it? Should I say something to HR? Should I just ride it out? Should I start looking for another job
They feel that they’re personality is somehow boosted by trying to crush your hand when they shake it.They don’t laugh in a way that says ‘I find that funny’ but in a way that says ‘Hey everyone? I found that funny, did you hear?’.They stop talking to you or anybody else mid sentence if someone higher up the corporate ladder walks in, so they can rush over and suck up to them before one of the other sycophants does it.They have to have the last word in a meeting, even if they have nothing to say. They subscribe to the idea that the person who everyone will remember is the one who speaks last, so they just add ‘Exactly’ or ‘We should definitely go with that’ or ‘That’s a good point’ or ‘Please notice me, Mr Boss, sir’ onto whatever someone else just said. Okay, the last example was subtext, but the point stands. Get two of these asses in one meeting and it doubles in duration, as neither wants to be the last-but-one to speak.
