My boss hit on me. What should I do? ?
I am so sorry that you are going through this. NO ONE, man or woman should feel uncomfortable in their work place. This truly is sick and disturbing what is happening to you. What is even more upsetting is the fact that this happens to so many more people but they are afraid to speak up because they have a fear of loosing their job. Just about every good job as a Human Resource Department in which you can report things to. By law, your report will remain anonymous. Human Resource will than investigate the report. It is very very important to retain any information you can regarding this case. Please save all of the things that he has given you because they are offcially evidence. If you have a cellphone that can record, please record the things he is saying to you. If not, make note of the date, time and please try and be as exact as possible with what he is saying to you. Try using quotes. All of this information is very, very important. Chances are, you might not be the only person going through this so let's hope this scum bag is taken care of. Some work places also have a number that you can call in order to report such cases. Even if your boss does find out that it was reported, it is 100% against the law for you to get into any kind of trouble because it is illegal to retailate against 'whistle blowers' It is illegal for him to fire you or demote you, so please do not worry about that. Instead worry about getting all the evidence you possibly can in regards to building your case. Are you part of a union? If you are, get them involved. Lastly but certainly not the only option, you can file a complaint with a goverment agency the EEOC. There are also equal right advocates. You can call this free number at: Call ERA’s toll-free multilingual Advice and Counseling Line (1-800-839-4372) Please go here for more information: http://www.equalrights.org/publications/... You can also seek free legal advice as to what you can do about this.
My boss is a pervert...what should i do?
The previous poster's suggestion of a camera or recording could get you into legal trouble. In some states, you are not allowed to record a conversation without the other person's being informed, without informed consent. You needed to make it clear up front that you did not appreciate the suggestive and lewd remarks. I'm not blaming you for what has happened -- it's not your fault -- but nowhere in your post do you say that you ever verbally objected to his behavior. This could present a problem if you decide to take legal action, I'm just warning you. And you should take legal action. You badly need professional advice. Moreover, while I understand that you need the job, you just can't stay there. This guy isn't going to stop, and he's already virtually assaulted you. I assume you are a legal secretary, and though the job market is a problem right now, your field might be one in which it wouldn't be too difficult to find a new position. It would be best if you quit the job ASAP, but if you really feel you can't, do the following: first, tell your boyfriend and anyone else close to you what's going on. You may get some good advice, but you also need to document the fact that you've been talking about this. Second, make a list of every single incident you can remember and the approximate times they occurred. Third, see a lawyer just for a consultation about your options. Choose a woman. Fourth, start looking for new jobs. Fifth, the next time this man tries anything, tell him in no uncertain terms that he must stop, that you are NOT interested. Look him straight in the eye and use the firmest tone you can. The fact that this man's behavior is apparently well-known could work in your favor, even if his other victims aren't willing to come forward. Obviously someone told you about his history, so it's not a big secret. And good luck to you.
What should I do if my boss ignores me?
Before thinking of the result we should also consider the reason. And before taking any decision on what to do, we need to analyze the things a little. And that helps us to be strong if we get the same situation in future. Just running away from the problem doesn't make us strong.Analyze:So, just assume yourself in the place of your boss and think. Now you are the boss. Feel it as such. Think now. What could be the reasons. Why do you choose to ignore someone. By this analysis you may find some reasons.Try:Now, approach your boss. Ask him/her if there is something wrong with you. Apologise for the above reasons if any. Just have a discussion with him/her that makes the situation somewhat easier.Act:If you find the reason for his/her ignorance as nothing, but still you are getting suffered, then take the decision which most people love to take as soon as they get some problem. That is chage the domain of work, or in the worst-case scenario change the company.If you can approach this way, not only your problem may get solved but also your stability to sustain problems, your strength, and your attitude changes and you get a lot experience to attack any such kind of situations that may arise in future. (Not only in company but also in other situations)
My Boss Pushed Me? What Should I Do?
First of all what is your boss did is horrible and she needs to be reported. What you need to do is call the corporate office of where you work and report the incident. So many managers think they can get away with treating employees like dirt. You may want to file a police report on her for her getting physical with you. You may have to have a parent go with you since you are under 18. Because if you report it to the police it will be documented. Is there any other employees she treats bad? If so you should get them to call the corporate office and report them. If it was me I would have quit already. Never let people push you around. Because once they do they will keep doing it. You also should call the labor board about her not giving you any breaks while you at work. You will be able to find another job and hopefully they will treat you better. Good luck
My boss was so rude today....what should I do?
I work at a bank an my immediate supervisor was being so snappy today. From the second I go t to work she was complaining, she was in a bad mood towards me, snapping at me and just being overall unfriendly and unapproachable. I usually have an upbeat personality and am generally smiley and happy at work but today it was just so hard because her attitude was dragging me down. She wasn't acting like this to anyone else. How can I deal with her? To be honest, she's intimidating and I don't want to confront her about it. Even HER boss (the branch manager) is intimidated by her and won't confront her about anything. I just want to know what to do in the future. She's a very loud, speak her mind kind of person and very fakey. She can switch from nice to B*tch in an instant, so I'm worried about confronting her. What should I do?
What should I do, The boss wants to get his buddy hired into our department, and I don't think its right.?
There have been unconfirmed rumors that my boss wanted to get his buddy hired into our department. We recently had a senior tech position open up in our department and 2 co workers and I applied for it. We all had our interviews and I feel I had a great interview and a great shot at getting the position. The other day while at a job I just happened to meet a fellow and he asked me who my boss was. I told him and he said he knows him and used to work with him. He also mentioned a guy that he works with is good friends with my boss. He told me that the guy he works with recently applied for a position at my company and that my boss was trying to get him in. I just happened to come across this information by accident. Now I feel like I put my best foot forward in the interview and I never had a chance since it seems like it was already decided on who was going to get the position. They are still interviewing and have not named the new senior tech. I am very upset because if my bosses buddy gets hired, he will probably make more money than me, have a higher ranking title than me, and I along with my co workers will have to train him to get him up to par. If I go to our human resources department and tell them this, and my boss finds out, I fear he may retaliate and I will eventually lose my job. If I do go to h.r. and they question him, he will probably say that this guy has a lot of experience and we need him on the team, even though there are no dividing lines between a tech 1, 2, or senior tech. On paper it looks like we all have different responsibilities, but in reality we all do the same work. I'm not sure what to do.
What should I do when my boss tells me to write my own performance review?
I’ve come to enjoy the self-reflection associated when doing my own performance review before meeting with my boss.My boss and CEO have commented on how the structure of my self reviews are one of the most well-rounded and inclusive they’ve seen. Maybe it will help you!I follow this structure:Key (Personal) Projects Since Last EvaluationGoals (Personal or Assigned)Fulfilling MomentsChallenging MomentsAreas To ImproveWhat’s NextKey Projects Since Last ReviewI take a look back and the things I’ve worked on since my last reflection. If this is your first time, just think back on the last couple months and then year for any particularly interesting or impactful things you’ve been working on or done.This step is helpful because you’re able to see if you like the pace and the style of projects you’ve been working on and if it seems like a productive use of your time.Goals (Personal or Assigned)I write out the goals that I set for myself as well as those my boss and set together. This gives me another lens to look at performance because I’m able to look at my projects and how they related (or didn’t) to my goals. Goals are nice ideas but if you aren’t reassessing to see how you’re progressing that’s all they’ll ever be, ideas.Fulfilling MomentsWhat were the times when I felt I was really at the top of my game? Looking back at these mountain-top experiences helps me to look at the circumstances surrounding them. Can I do something to encourage those circumstances to happen more frequently? Was there anything inherently different about that time than what happens on my typical day? Can I make it happen more often?Challenging MomentsThe hard moments are when you have to make decisions between action or remaining idle. What were these moments that were particularly challenging? How did you react to them? Do you like how you reacted? What would you do different going forward? Did one of theses moments impact your ability to reach a goal? Could you have prevented it?That’s a lot of questions but they will help you uncover more truths.Areas To ImproveAfter considering all of these things, you probably uncovered some areas that you'd like to improve on. Make note of those and how you plan to approach making changes.What’s NextCall out what you think are the next most important steps for yourself.This is a shortened version of a post I originally shared here. Check it out if you’d like more detail and some examples of the above sections.
What should I do that my boss won't be coming in today, so for the next 7 hours it's just me and the computer?
What should I do that my boss won't be coming in today, so for the next 7 hours it's just me and the computer?Funny thing that, it is exactly the same situation when one tele-works. You are earning a salary and need to give commensurate work in return.When I tele-worked, I logged in at about 6:30 in the morning, often to find an e-mail from my manager. I would reply no later than 7 AM. At about 4 in the afternoon, I’d see an e-mail pop into my Inbox from my manager and he would receive a response by 4:30. On one occasion he asked me why I was working so long (the daily work time was 7′15″) - I was doing so much more. I replied - I took an hour for lunch to watch my classic Star Trek episode. Or, I threw a couple loads of laundry in and ran a couple of errands, so I was making up the appropriate amount of time.There is no manager sitting there watching you work when you work from home or off-site. So whether your boss is in the office or not, you have to take on the responsibility of doing exactly what needs to be done to keep the business functioning - meaning that you do your job that you are being paid for …
What should I do if my boss signed my name on a document?
Send a draft email to your boss with a cc: to all document recipients indicating that an error occurred, you did not authorize your signature nor do you agree with an implied endorsement of the document. Explain that unless s/he finds a different way to remove your name and endorsement, you will release this email. Be prepared for a very difficult meeting and know ahead of time what concessions you can make, to save face and continue working with this person.
My boss physically pushed me, what should I do?
Thanks for all of your feedback, everyone. A few more details. 1) I don't want to sue because I don't want a lawsuit against an employer on my record. 2) I want to leave the company - I was actually looking for another job before this happened. 3) I don't want to be unemployed while I am looking for another job 4) Finally, if possible, I don't want to leave on bad terms. That is, I would like to ask the CEO to give me a glowing recommendation to my future employers. I could accomplish 1-3 by just sticking it out until I get another job. But #4 is a little more tricky. Gladiator mentioned that he probably wants me to leave the company. Would telling him that I am planning on leaving and that I would like his help on my job hunt in the form of a recommendation be a reasonable way to approach this?
