My boss called me into her office and offered me a "mouth hug"...was she coming on to me?

Don't do it!  It is a trap!  The next thing you know, she will have you working as her personal exec.  Then you will be doing her "little favors" on her whim.  Then when she has pictures of you doing such acts she will black mail you and your life will come crashing down around you.  First it will be $10,000.00 then $100,000.00 and then you will be cashing in your savings and getting shot at and running from the cops.  So mouth hugger beware.  Glad I was here in time to stop this.  Consider this my good deed for the day.  :)

Hi,\n\nGreat question! It's always a good idea to learn about body language.Body language has been widely researched and it's become quite scientific. Do a search online and you'll see how many sites are devoted to it. It's so helpful in situations where you are having a difficult time interpreting the person's tone of voice. In this day and age, for some reason, getting someone to be honest with you is like pulling teeth. \n\nThis woman is definetly being nasty to you and she has something to hide. Here is an excerpt from the site "Reading People: Body Lanugage" at: \nhttp://ezinearticles.com/?Reading-People:-Body-Language-Briefing&id=15901 \n"If you don’t look someone in the eyes while speaking, this can be interpreted as dishonesty or hiding something."\nMy guess is that this woman is either in the process of doing something behind your back (as in talking to her superiors about you), or she already has. She not only is hiding something, but, WOW, how rude is she!! Some department head huh? \nI feel bad for you to have to work there with a "boss" like that. Keep your chin up, read up on body language and maybe give her some back. You can't really talk to her can you? What would you say? I don't like your body language..um, okay, she'll probably just get worse with you. You already are being polite, so you are doing the right thing. I hope that you can find a better job with a dream boss and these immature super ego people can be out of your life. Good luck.

WOW. That woman sounds like she needs help. However, it sounds like she's got your boss snowed. My advice is to look for a different job. That's outrageous. You might go to your supervisor directly, without her, and explain that you are in this position. Explain that if something doesn't change, you will be forced to look for a new job, if you don't stroke out first. I am so sorry you are dealing with this and I hope this is just a bit of help to you. Good luck and blessings to you.

she sounds like she is hoping to catch someone doing something wrong.\nShe sounds creepy.\nJust ignore it and mention it to her supervisor if you can do it casually. Just laugh and say it's funny that Ms. so and so is always watching you whatever you do, like you are just mentionign it, not really accusing her of anything.\nbut otherwise just try to ignore it.

Well she probably hang with you out side of work cause she dont want people saying crap about her. Sounds like she could possibly like you or she just might be lonely. Why do you want to tell her to F off i mean you said you liked her and that you were good friends. I would just stay friends you both enjoy each others company so.. Well just decide what you wanna do. Good Luck.

Not a good call!  She's your supervisor and could get canned if she fools around with you.  Shitting where you eat is never a good idea.  \n\nIf you feel the need to have an office hook-up, bang one your co-workers.

well first off...there's no such thing called a polite way...you don't have to worry about that...as long as you are clearing a point that is making you UNCOMFORTABLE then it's totally OK...cause in the end you don't wanna have to deal with the same thing that is bothering you each day at work...right!!!\n\ntell her what you just wrote to us..."that you don't feel it's appropriate to discuss these matters with her"...see, I'm quoting you! there's nothing wrong with that...cause you are totally right..cause it is none of your business...you can tell her that you really feel uncomfortable and that you know she's a great person and that she would understand!\n\nbelieve me it might not be a big deal as it seems :) you are not being not nice...you are being diplomatic!

I think he is just being friendly.  I would just leave it alone.  Be friendly in return, but nothing more.  Anything else will create a messy or awkward situation at work.

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.

it appears your close to your boss.  what i would do is have lunch with her, or just talk with her... and let her know your situation... tell her that you found another job.  then tell her what you like about that other job... then tell her why its hard leaving your current job... then tell her what you like about the job you currently have.  if you do this in order, it will put her in a positive mental frame of mind and you wont need to worry about upsetting or leaving people that you got to know.

Definitely do not confide in the "friend" again.  \n\nI'd go to your boss and ask "What did you mean when you said you were concerned about the future of my employment?"\n\nI think she's bluffing.  SHE could be in trouble for talking about YOU if that is a policy.\n\nEither way, you have a right to know.    Better for you to stand up for yourself.  Don't let her try to scare you.  She sounds like she is playing games.  \n\nI'd talk to her, but also look for another job.  Why would you want to work for her???

hi, i really empathise with u....this person is an almighty BITCH!!!  \npeople who act like this are usually insecure and covering up for their ignorance....she's older ? and loves to put on a show of competence, but in reality, she probably knows less than you!...i've been there too.  but i was able to sack the bitch!  in your position, i would be talking to your manager about this matter and i truly think u have the upper hand....stay cool and good luck!

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.

Its very unfair, these things just make you feel lost and frustrated.Your boss is a rat!so is that alien.\n A boss should keepall his employers happy and treatthem equally.He sholud have helpedyou there.You did the right thing ,I wouldnt have been able to tolarate such a man.\nMan,you did good for a person who didnt care about you, you should be PROUD! hold your head up high .\nDont feel sad,it WAS the only way out. Had you stayed you would have regretted it.Tell your boss on the face

My boss used to love to pick on me. She made fun of my hair "Dont you own a hairbrush?" my pants "It's not Christmas time, why are you wearing velvet pants to work?" my shirts "Dont you own an iron?" and my voice "You need to be peppy when you answer the phone, you sound like you just rolled out of bed" (i have a deep voice, some say sexy) my Armani glasses "You look like an old grandma with those thick frames" and my brain, when i couldnt fix her 1980's fax machine "Well, youre just stupid, thats why you cant fix it" and screamed like a psycho because i forgot one week to water her five million plants in the office and the leaves were turning brown. She was a big fat pig with alot of money and paid me 7 bucks an hour to be her assistant (office slave) Of course I quit after a few months.

m_k4376 says...dont mess with the boss's man...unless  you are not worried about losing the job. First question to ask yourself is what is your relationship with your boss..if your boss is a friend, then be a friend and stay away. If not, and you dont care about the job then see where it goes. the boss may be using him to get to you for a little action, if your into that kind of thing. if your not into that kind of thing then wait till they break up then pursue him. but then, if you dont care about the job or your boss, go for it and the next time he hits on you... reach back and grab his package.  let me know how it works out...@ yahoo
