Is it pointless to ask someone to "cover" for you at work? Won't the bosses know you're missing?

Well there's a difference here.. if you're referring to someone who is ill and asks another employee to come in for their shift, then I see no issue with that.  But if you just don't show up and ask someone who's already working to pick up the slack, then someone should inform the boss.  And... that person should say NO.

If you've had a good relationship with your bosses, I'd say give them as much notice as you can.  They will appreciate it and so will the others in the office who will end up doing your job if  someone new isn't in place by the time you leave.  You're leaving anyway, so why not give them a break?

The only way "around" it is to be straightforward about it, be proactive.  Let them know about it but don't offer the details, and if they ask treat it as a unique occurance.  If you don't tell them and they find out on their own you're fired.

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.

Amazing question.....easy answer.....no matter what you convey to the prospective employer..they see that ONE BLOCK and won't even consider you...even if they say they will.\n\nMy experience is this!  I was a manager of a store and cooked the books.  I paid a HORRIBLE price.....lost my house, car, husband and kids. DO YOU THINK FOR A MINUTE I would subject myself to that again.\n\nI would be the most complete employee any company could hope to have....given the chance.  As a matter of fact...put in the same situation, I could probably point out every employee who is currently LOOTING!\n\nI feel you, I just wanted to say that.

If that situation arrives help the person first.  People (the boss) will understand and if they don't that means they are not on the same level than you and that they don't have a hart.  Do you really want to work for someone with no hart?  I know I don't!  Thats why I'm in teaching!

Hmmm...doesn't seem a wise thing to bring up during an interview...I don't see how it would affect your getting or not getting the job and might only make the potential employer wonder why you are giving out that personal information (after all, whether you're married with family or single with no family...either situation could change).  I would address my qualifications for the job rather than my marital status.

Well if the reason you are asking off is legit, then just tell the truth. If not just say you have to unexpectedly go out of town...maybe because of an ill relative. If you're out of town there's no way you could come in during the day!

Just be very upfront about it.  They have your records.  You must be completely honest.  If you try to hide anything, they won't hire you.

As an employee, not a supervisor...I would rather prefer a phone call or a left message.  It seems more personable if you confront the person rather than leaving a non-professional note.  Or wait till they get back.

Did you make up that question? If you're serious, don't say anything to him. He'll wonder why you're there, in the first place. And he may already know about it but is embarrassed. It's never a good idea to embarrass your boss. Keep your lip zipped. Maybe it isn't even her.

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.

Your company would only know that, you would have to contact your human resourse department, manager or other personell department

Yes.\n\nIf you are using the company phone, which they pay for.\n\nThey have the right to know who you are calling.\n\n\nWhat does it matter if your calling is work related.\n\nYou shouldn't be making personal calls at work, except for emergencies anyway.

Your prospective employer will probably already have somebody in mind to examine you who knows what standards your new company has etc and that your new company can trust to be completely honest with them. Otherwise you could be typing your own, for all anybody knows. See what I mean?

As an employer my answer is to be upfront and honest about it.  Depending on the reasons why it may or may not matter.  If your employer finds out later, odds are you will be fired.  What is going to matter the most is how you present yourself in your interview.

To be honest, I bet he does notice you and I'm sure he's completely aware of all you accomplish. You probably just come across not nearly as needy for attention as the "apple polishers" do. Your boss probably sees you as professional and down to business and allows you to keep in your rythm  without disruption. He probably has no clue you need some assurance. In the business world, I've noticed that pats on the backs don't come as often as they probably should. I'm sure if you keep up the hard work at the pace where you perform now, you'll get your kudos in the form of a raise or promotion. It's the people that don't have to point out their assets like you that will end up being the winners. Again......I'm sure your boss notices. :)
