I agree with the advice. I've never encountered a problem with anyone because i have not worked before. But if any of the situations were in my case, i would be very disturbed if my boss hit on me and decide that it needs to change or i will quit. And if my bonus not not come to the ammount i was promised i'd have a talk with him/her about it and see what agreement we can come up with.

My dad runs his own business, therefore he is his own boss. He says that if he did have a boss then this advice would apply to him if any of these actions occured. I think all this advice is right, it keeps tempers cool and fixes problems smoothly.
ReplyDelete2. I would probably remain quiet, and then afterwards ask what i did wrong.
4.i would get up and excuse myself from the room, then later on i would have someone back me up and i would go assess the situation.
6. i would complain. (thats just me.) or maybe i would ask why he cant keep promises.
8. i would freak out. i would record all the hints and clues and send it anonymously to the police.
i don't think i would be good in an office or business with a boss, i would like to be my own boss and oversee workers.

I agree with most of the advice. A lot of times, I think workers are intimidated by their boss having a higher authority and are scared to stick up for themselves.
ReplyDelete2. This has happened to me before, I just stay silent and learn from my mistake - not staying on task.
4. I'd tell them I don't date people I work with and that they need to stay far away.
6. I would consider why this might have happened and probably complain or just let it go. Things happen.
8. I have no idea.
My parents haven't had this happen, but they agree with the advice given and so do I because it doesn't attack anyone and it does it in a mature way.
ReplyDelete2. I would try not to confront them right then and there because they are already upset, but I'd confront them about it later.
4. I would tell them that I don't feel comfortable with what they are doing.
6. I would ask them why it was lowered. I would fight for it if it was not a good reason.
8. I would do what it says and record everything I thought was suspicious and tell the police.
Yes they agree 100% about the advice given. They just feel that thats the truth and what is right. I agree with my parents on their decision. For All of those things I would react the same: either have the boss change his ways or just quit.

Number two: I would try to let things blow over and if my boss still last his/her temper I would talk it out. I wouldn’t want to worry about something that wasn’t in my control.
ReplyDeleteNumber four: I would tell my boss that I’m uncomfortable and that I’m in a relationship (if I was).I would kindly ask them to stop.
Number six: I would talk to my boss and tell him what he said. If the company didn’t have the money, I would thank him anyway.
Number eight: I would keep an eye out and if anything happened, I would report my boss.
I wouldn’t appreciate any negative behavior from my boss. I’m not sure if my parent has experienced any of this.

I agree with the advice given, especially with numbers 2 and 6. My mom works at a jail so she gets yelled at often for on reason, and they never really care about her pay check. She never really gets raises and when she does it's not that much.
ReplyDelete2. I would ask to speak to them alone and if the problem continues,I would go to their supervisor.
4. I would go directly to their supervisor and make a formal complaint to human resources.
6. I would ask them why it was cut and if it wasn't a resonable anwser I would pobably still go after it.
8. I would probably report it to the police.

ReplyDeleteMy parents have never encountered a problem like this and they completely agree with the advice given because they think that the ethics and feelings of others were handled very well in the advice. I agree with my parents. If number two happened to me I would ask my boss to stop doing that in front of everyone and if that doesn't work I would quit or talk with the owner of the company.

My parents haven't encountered anything like that. I agree with most of the advice. Usually, I think the employees are frightened by their boss having a higher job title. And they are scared to stick up for themselves.
ReplyDelete2. This has not happened to me before because I don't havea a job.
4. I would tell him/her that I don't do that with co-workers. And that if you don't stop I am going to have to call the police.
6. I would probably confront him/her and ask why this has happened. I don't really like to lose money.
8. I would have to probably talk to the police, that is a serious crime.
I'm am pretty sure that my parents have encountered one or more of these situations, and i definitely agree with the advice given.
ReplyDelete2. I woudld remain calm and attempt at replying in as much of a respectful manner as possible
4. I would feel extremely uncomfortable for one and i would let them know it just won't work out...
6. OK I would so do something about this because its not right and no justifiable reasoning behind it.
8. Flat out i would just report it....
My parents agree with these situations, but then again...who wouldn't! This is because they have experience in the work place. My opinion is that these are situations that can be easily avoided.
ReplyDelete2. I would simply pull my boss aside, and politely tell it that that is not appropriate and it needs to stop.
4. I would tell him that this is not appropriate for work, and my father has many aluminum bats.
6. I would politely confront my boss in private, before I get angered.
8. I would consult with other higher people in the business, and figure out how to take action then.

Both of my parents think all that was said was quite actually true, for all in the working field. And I on my behalf, agree. all suggestions given were very advising, though I am not working yet. But I would put all in action if I ever approached any of these situations.

Even though many of you don't work yet, you may have an idea of how you might react to these work situations. For more insite, talk with a parent.
ReplyDeleteYou had all day on Monday to complete this blog, I will not accept late blogs if not posted by Friday.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Scott about #2.
ReplyDeleteThats whats you should do whaen your boss yells at you. You should ask what was it that you said or did that maid him mad, then whan he tell you, tell him your sorry for saying or dong that.
My dad agrees with the advice that was given. He says that he has never encountered any of these events himself. I think that the advice given was very good.
ReplyDelete#2. I would try my best to remain very even tempered and in a private place, like his office, talk about it with my boss.
#4. This would be very uncomfortable, especially if you were already in a relationship with another person. I think you should make it clear to your boss that you arent interested in him and you are in another relationship.
#6. Seeing how you didnt get the bonus amount in writing, i dont really think there is anything you can really do about it.
#8. This is tricky. The only think of doing is to write down all thats happened and then report it and find a new job.

My father and mother state many contradictions to the advice given.
ReplyDeleteFor example, in #2 my father says that you should just deal with your bosses temper or find a different job. Most people don't work for a union to file an grievance to and you will most likely be fired if you go to a supervisor.
For #4, my father and mother both state that you should quite your job and have your husband/boyfriend/father/male figure come and take care of buissness.
My father and mother add that for #8, you should prepare to find a new job once you report your evidence.
For #6 I agree with the advice whole-heartedly because you can't really change things like that and it isn’t worth quitting your job.
I agree with all the advice my parents have given me for the all the above situations.

ReplyDeleteSticky Situation No. 2: Your boss frequently loses his temper and yells at you in front of your co-workers.
ReplyDeleteI think that is very unprofessional for a boss to yell at someone in front of there co-workers, but it still does happen. Some people may just turn around and start yelling right back at him, but that is definently the worst possible solution. All it is going to do is get you in more trouble and possibly, you could lose your job. I think the best way to solve the problem is confronting your boss privately, such as in his office and discussing how you feel. The most important thing to remember is to be calm and collected and never raise your voice. If you feel like you are going to lose it, calmly say, “Please excuse me for a moment,” and walk out. After you calm down return and apologize for walking out on him, but you needed a moment to think. If worse comes to worse and you cannot handle it by ignoring him in a polite manor, you may need to start looking for a new job.
