My parents run their own business so they don’t have to deal with any of those situations. I would handle the problems by talking to my boss about the things that make me uncomfortable. If my boss failed to listen, I would probably quit that job.
ReplyDeleteMy parents are not in the line of work in which they would encounter this sort of thing. However I feel that the advice given is adequte and useful but if my boss failed to listen I think I would try to tough it out or quit that job. - Tanner DuVall
ReplyDeleteAbout one year ago I used to work at the bowling alley on Dean RD. (Forest Veiw Lanes). Almost all the regulars that would come in, knew almost everyone that worked their and the boss. I had known even before I started working there that he had a problem with drinking and was a recovered alcoholic, and no longer drank. Because of his past, doctors prescribed him different medications and a few employees, including myself thought that he was misusing the drugs. However, we all figured that it was none of our business so we let it go. Even though I don’t work there anymore, I sometimes still think if it was true and if he was abusing his prescription. I do also know that he had his own personal problems and I don’t know if he acts the way that he does because of the meds or because of his personal life.
ReplyDeleteMy parents run their own business so they don’t have to deal with a boss. If my boss ever yelled at me like situation #2 I propbably be quiet so he wil calm down. I don't know how to react about situations # 4,6,8. If the boss is really annoying I think I'll just quit or seek advice from someone.
ReplyDeleteI've never really talked to my parents about any of this. But if i were t encounter any of these situations i'd probably talk to my boss about what is going on.

My parents both have jobs where they would not have these kinds of situations with the bosses. I fmy boss were to yell at me, like in situation two, I would probably confront them and have a personal talk with them. If my boss were to treat me badly or differently from my co-workers I would consider quitting the job. If I were miserable there is no sense in working for a boss you hate. So I would probably quit and find a place that would make me happy.

My parents work for themselves so they do not encounter any of these situations. If my boss yelled at me all the time I would take them aside at a time when he/she was in an okay mood and simply ask why I was being yelled at. If I was actually doing something wrong that would be different but still, a good boss shouldn’t just yell at their employees all the time. It would be really disgusting if my boss hit on me considering a] my boss is a woman, b] she’s married, and c] she’s old. So if that happened I would say “I’m sorry, I’m straight and my boyfriend and I are monogamous. Not your fault.” If I was promised a certain amount of money I would make sure I got it by putting together a small, non-threatening contract. And if the contract was not fulfilled I would take it up with a higher employer. If my boss was not honest in the way they conducted business I would simply resign. Before doing so, however, I would again tell a higher employer or, if need be, an authority figure [i.e. police].

MY parents have worked in jobs with this kind of situations but has never happened yet if someone lost his temper or is hitting on me ( other than being totally ackward #4) I probably go above his head and file a complaint my talk to someone in upper management about it

I talked to my parents and they agreed with most of the advice. They said they would be quiet. and like Alex Atkins said, they would file a complaint and/or talk to someone in upper management.
ReplyDeleteYes my parents agree with the advice because they worked with pretty bad bosses, and they always got their wrath. Doing something always works. I also agree because I had some bad teachers that would always unload on someone. If number 2 happened to me, I probably would have told him straight “please stop yelling!!!!!” if number 4 happened, I would not know how to deal with it, that would be an awkward situation. If number 6 happened to me, I would go to his office and ask why the bonuses are lower than what he said, and finally if number 8 happened to me I would ask him in a manner that would not imply that I am searching for anything illegal, and then if he is doing something illegal, turn him in.

When my dad and I talked this over he said he did not encounter any problems like this, but he does agree with all of the advice for the problems. I would deal with number two by talking to him and explaining to him he needs to control his temper and tell him if he doesn’t I qualify for a lot more jobs like this that most likely pay more, also if my boss hit on me I would let him know that I really don’t appreciate it and he needs to stop before things gets worse, also for number 6 I would talk to my boss about it before I did anything and for number 8 I would have to prove that my boss really was before I did anything, then I would talk to other employees to see what we should do.
