I feel like the scapegoat at work. Everytime something goes wrong, I am the first one they call at yell at BEFORE they get their facts straight. Three times this week, customers have called to complain about this or that and I have gotten the brunt of it even after I proven that the problem lay elsewhere (other parts of the supply chain). No one ever says "you're right, I'm sorry". My co-workers tell me that I need to stick up for myself and get just as pissy as everyone else so last night, after a nasty voice mail from someone, I returned it with my own pointing out their error. Of course, it will be turned around to say that I had an "attitude". I am looking for something else but how do I deal with being the scapegoat until I find something?

I have my case being heard on Monday. Has anyone recently been through a case? It all seems so daunting, I had read the evidence from all sides and going mad. I lost my job becaus having giving my employer 10 months notice of intended leave, they refused all as someone else was off for 5 of the 11 days. But they refused all the leave without explanation. They have made 3 offers during the buildup but it is not just the £. Anyone else been in this position?

One of my co-workers was on the clock, when he saw his friends come into the restaurant. He took them outside (whilst he was meant to be working) and started doing burnouts in the car park. The smoke from the tires started causing some of us to choke, and when the shift manager found out that the crew person was outside doing burnouts, he shrugged and walked away completely ignoring the situation. I don't think its fair on everyone who was doing their work properly to let this go unnoticed considering we all get paid the same, and this particular co-worker of mine has lately become arrogant and rude often throwing food at others and harassing others (yet it goes unnoticed).

The burnouts were recorded on the store security cameras - should I report it anonymously to the store manager who will actually do something about it, or will this be a bad idea? What should I do?

It expires the end of month and I was wondering if any nurses had an abundance of them that they would give me since the board only needs 30.

One of my co-workers has no tact. She constantly says that I have caused problems in the work that she is doing. She says this in front of my boss.

I am actually training her to do my job and she says that I am wrong in what I tell her. She does this to others also.

I just ignore it, but may say something soon if she continues to do this.

Is it right for co-workers to disrespect you like this?

I work in a very competitive sales environment and I am the youngest female and blonde.One of my co-workers who is unattractive and bossy turned on me for no reason and has now stolen a big account from me. Our boss will allow this because she is a BIG producer and a veteran salesperson.He tries to trivialize the matter and says the deal will never close. I know for sure it is closing and the payoff is big.Our boss will not confront her bc she always throws her toys and get her way.This is so wrong. If I make a fuss over it, I will never get leads. What to do???

My friend worked in the network architecture area and was considered the best in the company by all his collegues, hands down. He was an American Born Chinese, nice guy, and was Chief Network Officer who b, one step under the Vice President seat. Another Network Officer (whiteman) who was not as good, was socially compatible with the Vice President, they play golf together and hang out at the sports bar after work. All the collegues do not considern this white guy to be better than the Chinese guy in setting up and solving architecture issues and design. During a merger, the V.P. fired the Chinese guy and hired his white buddy to be the Chief Network Officer. Everybody in the company was stunned and knew that it was an example of social promotion. This happens alot in America, when you have white people at the hem. White people get rid of the competition by non-whites because they fear their talent, so white people will take a bite off the bottom line to save their white buddies job.

The boss also apparently monitors conversations. Legal issues here or better to just move on?

I have always wanted to open up my own restaurant, or club, or hotel, or something along those lines.

Where does someone get the money to do this, and what advice can you offer me to help pursue this dream through the rest of my life?

PS. Don't let the name sway you and bias your answer.

For quite a while I have wanted to become a doctor. I would go into pediatrics and have my own practice, therefore making my own hours and I believe the pay on private doctors is slightly higher than others.

I have also, however, wanted to go into a Government agency, like the CIA or FBI, or especially the Secret Service. I am concerned about the pay here, however, and I don't really want to go to all of the rigorous training and physical requirments for such a low pay check, you know?

Law has always been another option for me. I suppose I could become a lawyer, but I just don't know...

I'm a little stuck. If you could offer your opinion that would be great!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

PS. Don't mind the name, please don't let that sway your answer. Let's not be biased, here.
