you need to contact your local wage and labor board. There is absolutley no tolerance for that kind of behavior. If you can't afford a lawyer, at least give the gov a heads up on your nasty employer.

Take her to small claims court.  Don't drag the boss into it, as he's not involved in the deal, and you're not trying to make him responsible for it.

why dont you try going on your own.  do you have a contract with your boss.  i would "suggest" to him/her that you are going on your own and may "borrow" some of his clients cause you can do things cheaper and better.  then tell him you wont quit for the bonuses back.  or you could try to get your boss to increase commission on sales and rentals to cover the loss of your bonuses.  its time to play some hardball.  whats the worse that could happen.  you leave and work for someone else?

Go back to the store and chat with the Manager. Your sincerity and initiative will be a great signal to him/her.\n\nPS: i think computer apps are the pitts. They are very demeaning - as is any employment situation.\n\nGet a hold of Robert Kiyosaki's best seller 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' and find out why you maybe better off not working as an employee. (Reason #1: It's the highest taxed income bracket and #2: provides the least amount of security.)\n\nGood luck!

I would go above your boss. Talk to his or her district manager. They should be able to look into the matter and rectify the situation. And, unless a person signed a contract NOT to disclose the information in the bonus letter, they should be allowed to talk about it. (Even though ettiquette states it is inappropriate to talk about wages in the workplace) \n\nYou could play "dumb" and go into your boss's office and ask him or her when/if everyone will get a bonus. Perhaps you already make more than they do. That can happen too. It closes the gap between the highest and lowest paid employee. \n\nGood luck in whatever you do. Happy Holidays!

Your relationship with your boss in only "Business". If you have taken it beyond that then .... no solution. \nAs long as there is only business ties between you both, you are not obliged to your boss beyond business. Find a job, give 2 weeks notice and walk out. \n--x--\nOr, you can find someone to replace you before you leave. Some one you know who needs a job, and you think would best fit the position. That way atleast you dont strand him, you give your friend a job, and you are peaceful.

Be honest with your boss.  Tell her that you want more out of life than than the job you have now.  She will understand, and if she doesn't then you really don't need her, do you?  Good luck finding something that makes you feel better about yourself and works to your advantage in the long run.

Start making her pay for her own share.There is no reason why she cannot support herself,since she is obviously employed by the job you got her and her other job.As for her getting mad,make a tally sheet of what she has cost you in car stuff,meals,groceries etc and if she starts getting snarky about it, hand her the list and tell her she either pays up or shuts up.I know it's tough, but she is walking all over you and you need to put a stop to it.As for the job, either talk to HR or your boss.I know it's tough to do, believe me, but things will be better in the long run.And if there are still job issues, worse case scenario:talk to a lawyer about discrimination.Good luck!

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

It's time for you to go over your immediate bosses head to upper management.  Before you do, I would document and entire weeks worth of instances along with date, place and time the harassment takes place.  I really feel for you and I hope your situation improves soon - God bless!

Hon, as a long time girl of being embarassed and angry for many of the "same reasons", let me tell you how to handle this and a few words of insight on people.\n\nFirst, you cannot "demand" anything but the bills you need to pay at your office.  \n\nThe only thing you are in control of is your reaction to this jerk ball.  He may have an opinion about you and your job, but that's his opinion and only that.  What you needed to do is just look him in the eye smile as if he's complimented you.  Yes, if he was your boss, this might be a bigger issue.  The thing I've learned about myself and you can learn as well is that no one "makes you cry" You are the only person in charge of when the tears come on.  Yes, outside events can trigger an emotional response, but you are ultimately the only one who allows the emotion to errupt.  Either way, it does not make it easy to deal with sometimes.  If you are totally confident in your ability on the job, then let him say and think what he wants.  You know the facts, and remember them no matter what your co-worker says.  You are good at your job and you are there for the reason that many people do not have the orginazatoinal skills that it takes to do your job.  Maybe you have some underlying feelings that you really are only a pretty face with no skills?  At any rate, look into yourself to realize what exactly got your nerves on edge that day.    It is something deep inside of you that wells up and then you choose this jerk to "lose it" on. (maybe?)  Remember the facts and keep your chin up,  he's probably just got some unresolved issues as well.  What I might do, is jot down the date and what he said that offended you.  Keep a running tab of derogatory and positive both.  If you have to set it up like a spreadsheet, do so.  If you get a large amount of statements that are negative, then you have a log of it and you've recorded while it's fresh in your mind.  IF you end up with a large sheet with dates and statements, then you can start your demands.  This is a math problem, like everything in life.  Aren't you glad you know math so well.  Good Luck.

Rise above it. If she deliberately embarasses you, then she is the problem. Do your work well and professionally. Talk with her and inform her that you would prefer to be told about your mistakes in private so that you could remedy them. Always be professional and job oriented. Bosses hate office politics....Document all incidents that are caused by her, if it continues over a period of time approach the person over both of you. If you are doing your work well, it will show.  If she is the boss, get out now while you still have some self esteem.  Good luck.  Be proactive, not reactive.

Definitely bring it up with your boss!!  If you handle this in a professional manner, your boss may be very impressed that you are being proactive and it will reflect well on you.  If you just wait for the money to magically appear on your paycheck, then you are not being realistic.  Money appears in your paycheck because your boss requested it, not by itself.\n\nMy recommendation is to request an appointment with your boss, preferably when you can speak privately.  Prepare a list of your duties that you had for the first 2 months in your job, and another list of the additional duties you have fulfilled for the last month since the secretary was fired.  Ask what the company has planned for the position since it's been vacant, and if they do not plan to hire anyone new, let your boss know that you are working harder than before and ask for a raise.  If they are planning to hire a new person for the position, ask for the raise to cover the period when you've been doing the extra work (the last month plus however long it takes them to fill the position).  \n\nRemember that you have nothing to lose by talking with your boss and asking for the raise.  It is completely normal to compensate an employee for taking on more responsibility, and if you're doing a good job, the boss will want to keep you and might even see this as a way to save money (pay you a higher salary instead of paying two people to do the job).  Good luck!

Tell your boss.  If that doesn't work, then tell their boss and so forth... If all that fails, then look for a legal solution -- file a formal complaint -- in short, do something about it.\n\nIn the meantime, while you're working on all that -- it might be a good time to find another position in that company or a new job -- Noone should have to put up with that abuse. \n\nGood luck!

Arrange a meeting with her. Explain that you find her manner unprofessional and inappropriate. Just because someone is the boss does not give them the right to be (as you put it) an SOB. Every time your boss berates you or behaves in an unprofessional manner, be sure to point it out in a mature, calm way. \n"I'm sorry, but I find your tone offensive/unprofessional/rude/ out of line/etc. Do you think we can discuss this in a more productive manner?"\n\nHope this helps, good luck
