Was my boss coming on to me???

Don't do it!  It is a trap!  The next thing you know, she will have you working as her personal exec.  Then you will be doing her "little favors" on her whim.  Then when she has pictures of you doing such acts she will black mail you and your life will come crashing down around you.  First it will be $10,000.00 then $100,000.00 and then you will be cashing in your savings and getting shot at and running from the cops.  So mouth hugger beware.  Glad I was here in time to stop this.  Consider this my good deed for the day.  :)

If the email truly was as bad as you indicate, then I don't think that your boss actually thinks that you are sensitive, despite what he said. He probably feels a bit of responsibility for not dealing with the situation earlier, and now feels compelled to justify his lack of action. He may feel that by labeling you as "sensitive", then he is off the hook for not taking corrective action earlier, because he "didn't think it would bother you". I have a feeling he is trying to say "Wow, I failed to realize that this was a situation worthy of my intervention, and I'm sorry that my lack of action caused you suffer." The first part came out as "The guy is an a**" and the second part came out as "I didn't know you were so sensitive". This boss is just a poor communicator and is looking to defend himself. I wouldn't worry about looking like a "composed professional" in his eyes, as he is not acting like a true leader anyway.

Rise above it. If she deliberately embarasses you, then she is the problem. Do your work well and professionally. Talk with her and inform her that you would prefer to be told about your mistakes in private so that you could remedy them. Always be professional and job oriented. Bosses hate office politics....Document all incidents that are caused by her, if it continues over a period of time approach the person over both of you. If you are doing your work well, it will show.  If she is the boss, get out now while you still have some self esteem.  Good luck.  Be proactive, not reactive.

I think before you jump into anything with your boss, you should make sure you aren't pregnant..\nAre you just trying to self-destruct, or what?

Buyer beware!!!! He could be setting you up for other "perks" by letting you rent the house for a cheap price. Or he could just be very nice. You should know the type of man he is if he is your boss. Don't get yourself into something that could make you lose the roof over your head or your job, even more your self respect.

She might have broken a law in saying something about your personal life on the job. Spend your week-end researching the laws in your state. I know that Federal law prohibits your boss from discriminating against a behavior or social "disorder". It sounds to me like she might be the one that needs to go! I think that you should go to the woman on your own and discuss w/her your feelings on the situation. It might help to carry a recorder in case she tries to threaten your job or something. Good luck!

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.

That's ridiculous.  You should report her to her boss right away.  How absurd!  Sorry that happened to you.

I was an HR Director for about 10 years, although in California and Texas, not Washington. Anyhow, it's been a while, but here goes... Technically you were insubordinate and it is likely that the unemployment officer who officiates over the phone hearing will not believe that you meant anything else by saying d*ck in an e-mail (about someone who I presume is your boss). That said, I am wondering if they actually have your signature on anything that says that you are aware that "they" (your employer) have the right to read and monitor electronic mailings sent by you. Unless they (or you since you were the office manager) are very organized they may have trouble coming up with this paperwork. They need this in order to read your electronic communications and I would bring this up to the officer unless you know for sure that they have it and can easily access it. Also, I am wondering if there is any defense you might have with regards to why you said it or the context in which it was said. Additionally, has there ever been a time that you are aware of when "they" may have set a different precedent by not firing/terming someone based on this sort of insubordination? In other words, where someone else called  a manager a name of sorts, but were either not disciplined or disciplined without termination. I also have to wonder why your employer was able to read this e-mail (did someone show it to him or did you leave your computer on) and why he bothered to log on to your computer if that's what he did? Typically, I wouldn't do this unless I had it in for the person and usually that would mean a series of write ups (I'm a GM/PM now so I still have a number of reports and remember my HR days well). Unfortunately, most companies have a policy saying that they can terminate with no notice based on certain acts, one of which is insubordination. Still, I agree with you that he sounds like a jerk if this is all he had. He would have done better to call you in and find out why you felt like that, thereby trying to find a fix for the situation and gaining your loyalty if he succeeded. Good luck!

Run like crazy.  This chick sounds nutty.  She's obviously posessive and has no reason to be.  It can only get worse.  Get away while you can.  If she will not do as you ask her to at work, have her fired, it is not her job to censor your calls.

You should worry.  You are now an accessory.  Your coworker has just pulled you down with him.  He is not your friend.

Yes, and my boss is standing over my shoulder telling me how to answer your questions!!

Get one of those voice activated recorders and when he confronts you, make sure it's on.  Then take the recording to your boss - if she/he doesn't do anything about it, you may be out of luck.  Worse comes to worse see an attorney- this could sexual  harassment and that's illegal!

call labour relations (That's what it is called in Canada) and explain your situation, they will take care of it for free and make sure that they don't screw someone else around next time.  Also make sure that you have all of the paperwork to back up your side of the story, dates, times worked and anuthing else that might come up.  That way you will have the best case possible.  If you win he could also be fined, so even calling him and making that threat could be efective enough.  If he has done this before and been investigated, it could cause him alot of trouble that he won't want.

Unfortunately, most bosses are like this....but I have learnt to face up to my boss (your boss) or anyone who is "in a way putting you down", and it works....I will turn the tables on them and ask them simply "what it is that they don't agree with" or what would they do differently, I will never allow anyone to just "put me down" without at least getting some kind of response back from them, I want to know the reason why.......especially and you must be honest, if your intentions were well meaning....and after a few times doing this to your boss, your friend, your family member, someone in a store/restaurant, believe me, you will leave them with an IMPRESSION of who you are and that will be, that you will want to get to the core of the matter........Good-Luck
