I have never received an apology from an employer after he or she had hurt my feelings.  \n\nTake that as a positive, and go back to work.  You are not the first, and won't be the last, to cry at work.\n\nAssuming you are a female, welcome to the world of hormones.

No.  You really don't have any basis for a legal claim.  The best thing that I can recommend to you is that you contact HR and let them know about the situation and see what happens from there.  The best thing to do though would probably be to look for a new job.  \n\nInstead of asking whether it was your fault, you probably should have calmly told her why the fitting room was a mess and that since you had to leave to help out the front, you will be willing to help clean up the fitting room, but you need some help.  If you do anything to present yourself as being confrontational -- like raising your voice, as understandable as it was -- a lot of managers will react very badly to it.

I'm truly sorry this has happened to you.  So, was your boss nice about it, or was she kind of be-little-ing?  You say she made you feel like a small child.  You know, we all have our bad days.  Guess what else?  We ALL make mistakes!  I bet SHE has even made a few mistakes herself.  Try not to feel stupid.  Did you apologize for the mistakes?  If not, do so if you feel you can.  Try so hard to concentrate totally on your job and I think you will be fine.  IF, though, she is not nice about the "writing you up thing" then I'd look for other employment.  Not as a cop out, but sometimes women bosses can be a little...ya know!  what's up with the internet priv. being taken away.  Sounds like a little bit of a power trip to me. Just go in there tomorrow with a smile on your face and confidence about you and have a wonderfully beautiful day!

Seriously? It's not professional to cry or be made to cry. Frankly you're both wrong and weird. \n\nIt's just a job. You cry at funerals and the end of Old Yeller... not work.

I'm confused, Nurse says you should NOT be at work then Doc says GO to work. Dont know what is wrong with you but you should see your doctor again and ask questions.

Well, I think that you should re-apply and tell them that you really made a big mistake and ask for your job back - remember that old saying:  "It never hurts to ask!"

Yes, but it would have to be small claims court. Make sure you bring all the paper work you can muster up, especially your child's statement, the fact that the DA couldn't proceed.. and that you did indeed lose 2 weeks for work because of her. And some pay stubs to prove how much you would have made. Mention your feelings, how it embarrassed you at your work/or in front of your boss.(Don't dramatize it though, just mention)!\n\nYOU CAN SUE FOR SLANDER AND DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.- because you lost work because of her, I think your chances are very good. I wish you luck!

hi there . my advice to you is to address the situation straight away as you are getting very angry and this can be resolved before the situation becomes untentable! \nthis is a common accurance and can be simply remedied by expressing your concerns as to your situation at work and impact it is having or could have on your job and frienship . The longer you leave it the harder it will be to broach and the outcome will be seen as you being the bady .good luck with it\nRegards.\n Adrian

Not hilarious but I did have a chuckle.

You must contact your GP. If its convenient take a friend along for support. As far as I know back-dated sickness lines are valid- after all you could have been in a coma for the previous week. Failing that, insist on a home visit from your GP. 'Phone or write to your employer-they may be unsympathetic but it shows you have been trying to manage the conduct of your abscence. Assuming you get a long-term sickness note, (even two weeks), use the time to make a note of the demands made on you and why you consider them unreasonable. Contact your union rep or professional representative- they should be able to give you legal advice and support in any tribunal. It is the duty of your employer to ensure safe and secure working conditions for you and this certainly includes work-related stress. You will probably not lose your job, so do not worry on that account. So get in touch with your GP first, you'll feel alot better having made that first step. Remember stress is an illness, as much as flu, measles, chickenpox etc, it can and does happen to anyone and its NOT a sign of weakness! Good Luck!

It's honest work and you have to pay the bills...take the job but continue to explore your options for returning to what you did before.  McDonalds knows that most of their workers are there short term so the "stay for a year because it looks better on a resume" does not apply here.  I see nothing to be embarrassed about.  I hope things work out for you very soon!

A bad/downcast face for many days at work is always not a good sign. Show that you are upset for a day or two. \n\nYou may want to write an email to your TL explaining that it was genuinly an oversight and that you would ensure that henceforth such oversights do not happen. \n\nAlso, make sure you turn out top quality work henceforth. Rather than being upset, check your style of work, you may just be completing the work without really scrutinizing each aspect of it. Try and be the master of your work. \n\nHelp the person who is doing the work you have been doing. Take this redelegation in your stride for a coupla months. Talk to your TL about how are you upset and would want your work back.. ask your TL as to how you could get back your responsibilities. \n\nIf the TL is not forthcoming with a plan, and/or still exhibits resent and distrust, gal, you are better off circulating your resume. Let the resume not focus on your mistake, talk about everything that you have achieved. And in your next job, again put your heart and soul, but more brains than heart and soul, bottomline, do not get emotionally involved with your job.
