If there is no explaination, reasonable enough (you ought to look at yourself and your work thru the eyes of your employer), try to get a new job.\n\nFirst of all you must have an employment contract or an understanding therein your terms of employment will be mentioned.\n\nGo through them and ensure that you honestly evaluate each of your duties and understand clearly the requirement.\n\nIn case you conclude that you have done your bit truthfully, then look into the matter of raises and rewards as per your employment policy. In case that document has clear indication of how the reward and increment will follow and you come to know that you are not due yet then stay calm and wait your turn.\n\nIf all is ok on your side and yet you feel that there is no definite answer as to why you have not received a raise while everyone else has, file redressal and get an audience with the management. Get your point across and listen to what they have to say.\n\nIf all else fails, like I mentioned in the begining, you should already have an option or two ready to fly to.

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.

Do a couple of surprise monitorings. Show them the new results and the results obtained when you were letting them know when the monitoring was being held. Explain that, if the new results are bad, your job is to report bad results. So you all have to work to get those reports up or else its out of your reach to stop any consecuences.

Go to the bosses bosses. If they don't do anything, file a lawsuit.

I have some gaps in my work history.  They aren't questioned.  If they do question, just say you were working outside of your profession, SAHM, federal prison, etc.

You have a case there, yes.\n\nBasically, you need to begin logging the events (a notebook with timely, dated entries are sufficient).  Also note any communications you have had with your company to get the problem fixed.\n\nYou should report the problem to the company, and the company should deal with it.  If the problem persists, you may have a claim against the company, or the individual (although I doubt that the penalties against an individual are very severe, unless the person is in a position of power.)\n\nSo work with your COMPANY to get it resolved.  Don't try to take it up with the individual.  And keep meticulous notes.

If HR isn't helping, go to your boss's boss. If you don't find help there, keep going up in the ladder, and reach the company owner if you have to. \nDocument her behaviour. Keep a journal with incidences, and any kind of evidence you can find (emails, memos, etc.) Also document the way HR has been (not) taking care of things. You will need all this because it sounds like you have a vendictive boss who might fire you for no reason or slap you with a lawsuit.

Was the evaluation good, bad, or indifferent?  What size company do you work for?  HR should have virtually nothing to say on an performance evaluation -- all of it should come from your boss.\n\nWhen you say you noticed "the management, particular the HR Dept" doesn't have any clues on handling IT personnel -- well, that worries me.  If your believe your manager doesn't have a clue, then you're in the wrong job.\n\nAs a former  VP/CIO for several companies, I can tell you that management *does* have a clue, but I will acknowledge that HR sometimes does NOT -- I still don't see what they're doing involved in your review.

Did you sign a contract or work agreement - that would be the first place to look.  If not, check company handbook, or go to personnel/H.R. Department.  Most companies only require 2 weeks; for upper management it may be as much as four, but it would have to be stated which jobs fall in that category.\n\nAnother route to try is to work out an arrangement your new and ex boss about training schedule; perhaps you can start your new job and still be available to train replacement at your old job - ex should be amenable because you will be in easy access, and your new boss should like it because they could get you right away.

It all depends on how much you value your job and how well you want to keep your working relationship with your boss harmonious. Bosses are not always correct; and there are bosses that are inept and ineffective.\n\nThe issue here, however, goes beyond to your relationship with the boss; we are talking of your loyalty to the organization. Ask yourself - how would your boss, and your boss' boss think of you when they find out that you went behind their backs? Do you think you will be rewarded with promotion? What do you think are your prospects for advancement?\n\nHowever, this can present an opportunity for you if and when you decide to freelance. Many people start their own businesses this way: by getting those they have previously worked with as their first clients. However, you need to ask yourself some questions: \n\n- do you have the resources to actually go freelance?\n- do you think you have what it takes to freelance and start your own business?\n- aside from this one client, do you think you can get other clients?\n\nGood luck

Say something like "I am looking to expand my knowledge and skillset."\n9 out of 10 employers won't call the past boss anyways.  And if they do, they aren't SUPPOSED to ask the details of why you left.

When i first started reading, I had a feeling your performance is not up to expectations and he trying to motivate you, but now I think he has a personal ego problem. Why dont u try and tell him that u have several urgent tasks and look busy? I know it is annoying, but leaving is not the solution. You will probably end up with a boss that has a bad temper or personality flaw. \n\nWhy dont u try and send him an annonmous note telling him that everybody hates his ways, but make sure he will never find out.

oh boy, very common story. If you cannot approach your supervisor, take it to upper management. There are also reference tools such as the internet to help you understand the topic a little better. If you have a very autocratic employer, all you can do is push on through & at your next evaluation, express your concerns with this issue & maybe come up with some solutions. Chances are there are more people you work with who have this problem, start a conversation around the water cooler, so to speak, see what you can come up with collectively to combat the situation.

Tell your boss. She is being irresponsible.  You are being taken advantage of, you need to stand up for yourself.

Yes, you can put in a complaint, but you might want to take a hard look at yourself first, and look at ways you can improve your performance.\n\nConsider talking to your superiors and asking them for ideas on how you can improve your peformance so you will be ready for promotion.
