This may not sound too nice but you have a right to be a little selfish...you have the seniority. If the other person is the one initiating the change, you have a right to express your wishes as well. Just tell your boss that you don't wish to move & that you hope he or she wil respect your wishes. If you are a top-notch performer, you can also point out your various good points that should keep you in said position while also noting that, "I shouldn't have to feel like I am fighting for the job & currently have...but..."\n\nGood luck!

If you want it bad enough, you will find the time. It would also help if you described what your typical day is like now. You just say you are "busy", but what are you busy doing?

Take small steps, and one at a time. Maybe you could start by getting more information about your dad, like what you're doing now but for a little bit longer. When you feel that you're ready, you may wish to take another step by chatting with him on the phone. Once you're more comfortable, and you think it's the right thing to do, then you arrange to meet up with him?\n\nIt's a delicate issue, and you have to manage them carefully. Remember, your mum might get hurt in the process and you have to ask yourself is that worth it?

Show him how you've done it and the rewards it has brought you.\n\nIf he's the type who hates work, play up the early retirement angle.

I understand your problem and I think that no matter how much you talk to him thing are not going to change unless he wants too do it all on his own.  And since moving out isn't an option at the moment I suggest you find something to do with your time other than staying at home.  Like finding a job or going to school (assuming your not doing it already)  Going to the library or donating your time to charities.  Something you enjoy.  I know you love your family but YOU are 20 and you need to start making a life of your own Maybe when he sees what your doing he'll start appreciating you better.  As for your real dad start writing to him get that job and save up to go visit.  Where there is a will there is a way.  Good luck at what ever you do.

ok first relax. Second make up your mind that you are not going to work tomorrow. That should make you feel better enough to concentrate on relaxing enough to go to sleep. Unfortunately you will have a sleep debt which your body will make you repay at some stage, and you will not function at work as best you should. That wouldn't fair to you or your work mates.

Tell them you have deadlines to meet and that you really can't stand around and talk to them. Try to keep working the best you can. Ask them if they would please let you get your work done and maybe you could arrange to meet them after work.

1. General manager should tell "A" that he could see there was too much to do so he turned over a little to "B" to help him out then apologize for not thinking to tell him about it first.  No excuses, just the truth.\n\n2.  Tell the boss that you had an important personal phone call and you apologize for being late.\n\n3.  Let the child know it wasn't their fault that you lost patience with them, let them always know you're human, then if you still can help with the math problem or spend some quality time with him.  Don't go buying stuff to make up for it.

You must work. Money or no money.\nFresh up early in the morning and go out of your home to work. You need it.

Professionally speaking...always keep your policy and procedure handbook where you can get it.  Your policy and procedure handbook covers this and other problems you may encounter on the job and the chain of command for handling issues such as this.  Most jobs mandate that when there is a NO CALL- NO SHOW, the employee getting ready to go home must stay for no more than a half hour.  Well, that's how it was for the last two shift jobs I have had, the last one is still current.  After then it is the managers job to fill the spot.  If you can not get a concise answer from your P&P book, talk to management.  You really do not have time to play on the phone on company's time.  I hope that didnt sound too mean.  I am just saying, be cool and professionally handle these issues.  And as for the NC/NS, let administration handle that.  you just continue to do the best you can in your job responsibilities. Do not let lower level management hound you into a corner.  Review your manual.  This is not intended to be harsh. It is just straight up.

I wish I could come to work today, but I don't want to.

Just say, "well I hate to be rude but I think we're gonna have to get together another time I have some personal errands to run or I have to get some sleep". Tell them you'll call them tomorrow as you stand up & start walking to the door. Or you could scream there's money falling from the sky & slam the door behind them & lock it as they run out. heehee...best of luck to you!

Give them a three week notice for now, and if you find out you will have to leave a little sooner than that, let them know right away! Thats about as fair as it can get without losing a paycheck!

Put her off by saying you will as soon as you have a free minute from your own work, but you are swamped! Say it enough times and she will get the hint. If the boss asks you if you can help tell her the same thing.

Just put it to him plain and simple (but try not to place the blame back on him - he clearly can't handle it).  Say something like: "This is such an unusual request, I'm sure I would have remembered if you had asked me."  Then just move on.  Ask him what he wants you to do and when he needs to get it done.  Try to be gracious.  Unfortunately, it sounds like your boss is a jerk.  We've all been there...
