There's no harm in you asking a guy friend to go with you. If he's just a friend , that's fine...no pressure. You go as friends , have a great time, and who knows, when the night is over, you might end up being more than "just friends".....right now, a guy friend just popped into your mind....YES! He's the one! Call him...... invite him, Have a wonderful time at the dance, you and him. Good Luck!

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.

No.  Would you stay in a 'lover' relationship you don't like?  Participate in a club whose values you don't care for?  A job is no different.  You said you lost respect for the company but need the job.  You need the money...not the job.  Either quit and look for another job or discreetly look for another job while still employed with them.

Go and have fun, life is full of disappointment. call them up and wish them happy birthday, the same would happen if the tables are reversed.  Enjoy your trip. be lucky you can go.

Not recommended.  What if you two break up?  Harassment in the work space.  If you or he were willing to transfer to another department or company, I'd say go for it.

Absolutely, it's safe!  Things are much the same as in a really friendly pub.  If you're not interested, just say "No thank you."\n\nDon't do anything you're not comfortable with and pleasuredome is supposed to be the pants!  I wish I were going.

Whether any party would be worthy flying cross-country for is definitely up to you, but as far as company parties go, I think Yahoo's are tops.\n\nThey go all out in so many ways.  The bands are impressively big (for a party) like this year's Earth, Wind, and Fire (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aq6jtr59klox), there is a huge variety of food and alcohol (including ice sculpture martini luges), and lots of other activities (gambling, full-body video games).  \n\nBut despite all that, your enjoyment will probably be determined more by how much you enjoy being around your co-workers (if they're going), your date, and/or how long you can enjoy gambling/dancing.\n\nThe last two parties really really impressed me, but I enjoyed the second one much more because my date and I shared a great enthusiasm for the party and dancing.\n\nIt doesn't look like last year's photos links work anymore :(

Let's see.  In work, you usually have to put up professional appearances.  So, I would say don't go there.  If your ex-boss cannot be professional with you at work..what makes you think he will be a nice guy outside of work?  \n\nWhat you just described..is a case of displacement..or kicking the dog once you get home.  He was frustrated..so he took it out on you..and you yourself said you couldn't take it.  I don't think this would bode well for a real relationship.  Think about it.\n\nAlso, I think you may just be feeling sorry for the guy..its true businesses can go bad...but thats life.  Many businesses fail..and he probably just hurt his business ...by treating you badly and hence..you leaving...\n\nLet go...and try to enjoy your new job.

I think you should go with #1..he wants you to meet his family! Awesome...and it sounds as though you are going as a date. with #2 it sounds like friends hanging out with friends.

I would suggest a night out somewhere all together, not something at work. It's hard to celebrate in a professional environment, so maybe invite everyone out for a dinner together (I took my work pals to Olive Garden and we all had fun) or some place where you can all get together and enjoy each other that one last time.

It depends on how far gone you are.  If you didn't have the guts to even talk to her till this night, then she may not be the girl you think she is.  Don't give up a job for this girl.  It may not work out.  On the other hand, if the job is just a relocation, and not an advancement in your career, what's the real harm in staying?\nIf this girl is really for you, she will be there when you get back.\nHave faith.

Since he's your "new" boss, I'd say take the high road and try to grin and bear it.\n\nGood luck!

Think of it this way - you save yourself money in not having to buy her a wedding gift.  I think it was rude on her part to invite some co-workers but not all, that's why it's best not to invite anyone from work - it saves this kind of thing from happening.  Don't get upset about it, look at it like it's one less thing you have to do.  It sounds like your work "friend" is really more of a friendly acquaintance.  I had the same thing happen to me - my boss and I get along really well but when she had her annual halloween party, she didn't invite me - and instead invited a woman nearly 30 years older then us.  I was shocked but I didn't let it get to me.  Just do your work and don't worry about her.

I have alot of experience with this and I have learned one important thing....there are one of these people at every single job/workplace.  If you are not his supervisor, do nothing.  It seems the boss likes him so your best bet is to go to work, do your thing, keep to yourself, then go home.

If I were you I'd skip the corporate party and take a vacation with your BF. It's not their place to approve or disapprove who you date. But nonetheless, it makes it unpleasant to bring your BF to those parties. Ditch their party.
