No matter what I do, how hard I work, what accolades or promotions I get, I always, every single day think I am going to be fired or caught for something, even though I am not doing anything. I think I am about to be find out. Can anyone relate with this, or am I just crazy?

She always needs special attention (thinks she is very up there and she is not). Always wants things done different ways to accommodate HER! Just a huge complainer! I've been patient with her for the past two years, but she is crossing the line and i quite frankly want to ask her what's her problem with me?

She is a lot older than me. She used to be reporting to the president and now they hired a new boss that she reports to. I still report to the same person I always reported to and most of the upper management likes me. They have even expressed it numerous times in several company meetings.

What is her deal? Is he fearful of loosing her job/jealous? How do I deal with her? Is this common...

The position is really part time but we kept it full time because of the transition between new owner of the company. The employee requested medical leave and was out for over a month. The doctor has release them for part time basis until fully recovered. We prefer to keep the position part time. Are we legally obligated to reinstate the full time hours or can we keep them part-time?

My boss is a complete idiot and has me do things that are just crazy. They are disruptive to the company, waste time and money and make us look crazy to the customers and clients. I suspect that his boss does not know how poor my boss is, and I would like to tell him.

I wonder if anyone who has been frustrated by their boss has ever successfully gone over his/her head and talked to senior management? Tell us your stories!

A lady in the office is not getting along with her boss very well. He is trying to convince his boss and HR to let him fire her. At my company a manager can not fire someone without warning, they have to go through a due administrative process.

My friend needs the job bad and is broke. She is in a field with alot of competition and it would take her a year to find a new job if she was fired. She is thinking of begging for her job, or going to HR and see if she can talk them into saving her.

Have you ever begged a boss to not fire you, and been successful?

I've recently applied for a marketing work experience position at pharmacutical company. I've gotten a reply and they say they want to have a chat with me about the opportunities they have for me to work with them.

I'm thinking about wearing a suit to this talk tomorrow. But I'm afraid that I might look over-dressed and too formal. I mean, they wrote on the e-mail that they want to have a chat (not so much of a interview). Errr I don't know. Please help me out? Thanks :)

Recently graduated and just started working for a big high fashion design co in NYC as a database marketing analyst. The pay is ok at $50k, but I found it strange that I'm not eligible for a bonus. (HR tells me bonuses are reserved for levels manager and above) Other companies that made offers all offered bonus potential, so I assumed that it was the norm.

Anyway, I took this job because the work is more in tune with my interests. However, I'm just confused about the bonus situation. Could someone fill me in?

I'm not sure about something that happened at work tonight but it's on my mind so I thought I would get your opinion...

There's a guy who I've only really said hello to and have talked about work related stuff with. I was on the phone with a guest and while I was on the phone, he started touching my shoulders and arms (a close friend works with me so I thought it was maybe her so i didn't do anything). Just as I was finishing up the call, he moved his head close to my face and was about to kiss me on the cheek and I gave him a dirty look. He made a joke about how I gave him a dirty look and I pretty much ignored him after that and he went away.

What he did just bothers me because I don't know him. I'm not sure if I should say anything or just see how he is in the future. I know of a guest complaint about him whistling at another guest as she walked by so there is a small history of him doing inappropriate things while on the job.

How do you think I should handle this?

I can't find a decent job & I think I deserve more money than that. I'm on disability, but I still want to work. I looked all over & no luck. I was so desperate that I went filling out applications @ McDonald's & WalMart & stuff. I can't find a job in my career field. I don't have much work experience. I'm trying to get off of disability & work to become more self-sufficient. No one wants to hire me. I can't afford to live off of $650/month for the rest of my life!

I know people always try to warn me, saying, "Well you don't wanna lose your benefits because if you lose your job it'll be very hard & take 15 yrs. to get SSI & Social Security again." I suffer Tourette's & other depressive/anxiety disorders & OCD, & I can only work @ a certain pace & I can't stand on my feet for too long. I also get anxiety attacks when I'm rushed or required to work faster, or they threaten to fire me.

Do you think I should have a work @ home job & work @ my own pace? What jobs do you recommend?
