first of all your boss should have sent you home that day & take a wk. off or so. if you really wanted to continue on working there & that job meant a lot to you than your boss should have set up a meeting just between you & him. to discuss what ever problems you are having. we all have rights & he did not bother to ask you if you were having some sort of problem that day or otherwise that was wrong of him. what kind of boss would do such a thing to his employees? i mean you could have lost a loved one for all he cares but still yet you showed up for work with alcohol on your breath. we all know that you did wrong by showing up at work when you knew that you have been drinking. you knew better you should have called your boss up & say hey look here i tied a big one on due to some personal problems i am in no shape to show up for work today is it ok if i can take a couple of days off. if your going to look for another job just tell them at this interview the truth that you were going throu some family issues & your ex boss did not give you the time a day to explain yourself & leave it at that. lack of confidence we all have that sometime in our lives but you know we all can better ourselves if you really stopped & think about it. you need to focus more on what you really want out of life than jumping from job to job you need to find some quite time alone & follow your heart & i know you are a good person inside & out its you that keeps putting yourself down. dont worry about what others may think of you & maybe theres more to this than what your are saying?  well enough said & good luck with your new job.

Be very proud of yourself that you are an admitted thief....what a nice thing to tell us about your character. And you are certainly trustworthy, aren't you. Do you really think the boss isn't going to notice the inventory missing? Sorry, but time to grow up. Perhaps the boss thought you were all cleaning up, serving customers, ya know, the stuff you were being paid to do???? But with your work ethics, what a stupid thing to think. Sure wish I knew where you work (I use the term VERY loosely)...you wouldn't be there long. Grow up fast. You will all be fired very soon. I certainly hope you do not need this job as a reference.

Hi Ena,   Tell your boss you need a break, and need to take some time off.\n\n  Clowmy

Well since you're moving in January then thats fact ! You have nothing to be shy about. You have a life just like others in which anything can happen. Just go up to your boss and tell him/her that You have something important to discuss and if he/she has time to discuss sit down with'em and tell them that due to whatever circumstances or family decision you will be moving therefore you would like to give notice. Your boss should appreciate your honesty of giving them a heads up in advance rather then just calling in one day and saying you won't be showing up. Atleast you're giving your boss a chance to find your replacement so they would infact appreciate it more.  So don't be shy about it, be very frank and profesional about it. Its a normal thing.

Unfortunately, you can't LEGALLY tell your boss about your co-worker's illness. However, when it comes to stuff like this, I personally tend to throw legality out the window and leave an anonymous note on my supervisor's desk. Make sure it's anonymous. The government provides for the person, people provide for the people. My instinct says your duty is to yourself and your fellow workers who are not infected.\n\nHow sure are you his mouth has pus-filled blisters in it?

If the email truly was as bad as you indicate, then I don't think that your boss actually thinks that you are sensitive, despite what he said. He probably feels a bit of responsibility for not dealing with the situation earlier, and now feels compelled to justify his lack of action. He may feel that by labeling you as "sensitive", then he is off the hook for not taking corrective action earlier, because he "didn't think it would bother you". I have a feeling he is trying to say "Wow, I failed to realize that this was a situation worthy of my intervention, and I'm sorry that my lack of action caused you suffer." The first part came out as "The guy is an a**" and the second part came out as "I didn't know you were so sensitive". This boss is just a poor communicator and is looking to defend himself. I wouldn't worry about looking like a "composed professional" in his eyes, as he is not acting like a true leader anyway.

yes - you should talk to your boss and make sure she understands what you feel. also, don't simply decide on the priorities just with what other co-worker want u do to, unless you can accommodate that along with your own deliver ables. Boss w(sh)ould know the big picture and deal those 'extra' help requests from others thru your boss - two things: your boss will then know how much helpful you are to others and your boss will know how others are struggling to get their work done - this will help for you career and will help your manager for better planning.

If you've had a good relationship with your bosses, I'd say give them as much notice as you can.  They will appreciate it and so will the others in the office who will end up doing your job if  someone new isn't in place by the time you leave.  You're leaving anyway, so why not give them a break?

I sympathise with you. I have worked in places where people don't pull their weight and took liberties. \n\nIt's difficult when you are the new guy and if you went to your boss, it would look like you are telling tales out of school.\n\nI would wait a while, maybe mention it to the guy himself and after a while if things have not improved, see your line manager. \n\nA good manager should not let something like this happen anyway. You may be better off going to Human Resources. Good luck.

First of all you're an idiot for telling your boss.  He doesn't want to hear you whine.  You should have just cut out her tongue.

You are most likely NOT obligated to say anything to your employer, other than MEDICAL LEAVE.  Hopefully you have a lot of time banked up!

Just tell them:\n\n"My boss is getting his prostate checked as we speak and will also get a colorectal examination. I think it will be more prudent if you call in a year".\n\nIf that doesn't work, tell them to go get THEIR prostates examined.

Definately talk to your boss about the situation and see what he wants you to do.  Make sure he knows you are still contagious.

Did you make up that question? If you're serious, don't say anything to him. He'll wonder why you're there, in the first place. And he may already know about it but is embarrassed. It's never a good idea to embarrass your boss. Keep your lip zipped. Maybe it isn't even her.

I work for an employment agency and it's illegal to discriminate against a pregnancy woman.  You did not have to tell them your condition, however if you do get the job, I would let them know, cause you are going to be showing soon.  Just be upfront with your supervisor, and say, I am having a baby and want to let you know when my due date is and that this will not interfere with my performance.  Let them know you will return immediately after you 6 week check up if there are no complications.  Also you may luck out with it being a doctors office, they may be more understanding.\n\nGood luck.

Are you in a leadership role? Cuz I went through this at a Call-center that I ran, and I put out a MEMO that stated something like, "Personal Hygeiene On the Job" And listed a few basic requirements like showering, washing hair, clean & ironed clothes, brushing teeth & using mints if necessary. Then I stated at the bottom, "most of us are doing a great job coming to the workplace clean and tidy, but maybe a few of us need a reminder, to keep the office looking and smelling it's best".....It worked !!!!
