Other - Careers & Employment

I have been at my job for 7 months now and I love my job and everything that I do but, I have had a problem with the ONLY 2 employees that work in the office with me, they make it so obvious that they are having an affair. Both of them are married and his wife is even is friends with her! It really makes me uncomfortable and they have increasingly made all of this more obvious. The man in this affair and is my direct boss and her direct boss. Because of the affair she has free rein and can make any and all of the decisions. She goes and gets her hair and nails done during the day, can come in and out as she pleases and I just don’t see how this is fair to me when I feel like I work so hard but will never even get recognized because I am not sleeping with him.
It all became obvious to me when I noticed how well they knew each other and could tell me things that you normally wouldn’t hear coworkers knowing about each other such as, He (her talking about the boss) claims to have the softest lips ever and swears it’s because he doesn’t wear chap stick. One day the boss man asked the other woman if she would help him find a file upstairs in the storage. So they went out and closed the door and disappeared for 10mins returned with nothing in hand and she went straight to the bathroom. Next I walked by her office and glanced over to see him massaging her shoulders. He is always in her office and it doesn’t sound like they are talking sometime whispers. Another time I walked to my desk on a Monday morning and didn’t notice anything until she walked in the door (an Hour late) and asked what was on my wall. When I looked around there were two shoe prints. My legs are not long enough to touch the wall when sitting on my desk my feet are only a couple of inches from touching the wall. (She is way taller than I am) The fact that I didn’t notice but she did the sec. she walked in make me wonder. Today, to make a long story short, they began flirting while talking about something that I was going to purchase for the office. While in conversation with me they began talking about (exact words) “ (her)flavored paper towels, (him) a thing that slides into the other thing to make it work, (her) he can pin on the wall” , more was said it’s just too much to say.

Basically I just want to know what I can do to get this to stop. I do work for a big company (nationwide) but I know that we don’t have one person to go to for Ethics Issues. Also both of them have been there a while and I am the newbie and the fact that I am in a different “field” of the company. So they know everyone better than me and I don’t want to try to talk to someone at corporate that likes them and will tell them.

PLEASE HELP ME! I don’t know how to go about this and it is really affecting me.

I have requested twice a copy of my 90 day evaluation. It was perfect (even comments on my talent and what an asset I was to the company) however I was still released from my job by my boss because of poor performance. The office is small and the HR staff is close with my old boss. Are they required to provide me with a copy of my 90-day eval upon my request? I was already told that I could have a copy by the HR coordinator but I have a feeling the HR Director will not release it. Help!

So I recently received a call from an employer inquiring about my application which I missed. I missed the call because I was in a terribly receptive area for my cell phone and it was on weirdest of all days: Saturday night. I really want the job and called back first thing the next day, but the associate let me know that the person that called me was not in. She did take down my information and assured me I should receive a call back. Should I call back the next day? or should I wait around for them to call me? I do not want to sound desperate by calling everyday trying to get a hold of the lady, but that may mean that I am serious about getting the job. Definitely a double-edged sword situation. What do you think?

My husband has IBS. On his good days, he only uses the restroom (#2) once or twice. Some days though he has flare ups and has to go up to 25 times in one day. He works at a beverage co. and his new shift supervisor doesn't like him. My husband has been at his job for 7 years and never had any problems but in the past month my husband has been written up and suspended twice for 5 days for using the bathroom.

He got a note from his doctor that said he has work restrictions & must be relieved use the bathroom if he's having a bad day--(the IBS hits instantly)....his boss said that he's going to be fired if he doesn't get the restrictions taken off and he'll be written up if he leaves to use the bathroom. He said to take a leave of absence if its so bad.

My question is this: are they legally allowed to do this to my husband? He has a medical condition and a note from his doctor and they said it means nothing to them. He's asked to be moved to another shift and they said no

I've got a new job offer and I've accepted and I planned on giving two weeks' notice on Friday. My boss didn't come into the office that day, so I called back and asked for an extension of one day on my start-date with my new job. So, it's Monday and the boss still isn't in her office! I could email her a note and attach the 2-week notice/letter of resignation, but that seems like poor form. I want to give it to her personally, but if she's not here, how do I negotiate that?!
I don't want to go over her head and hand it to the next in line, but I don't want to sit on my hands and fall liable for not having provided two weeks' notice, either. What should I do?
Also, it's a very bad time for me to leave my company, as so many others have quit and they are sooo short-handed, so how do I break this news to my boss gently, or is there just no easing the moment? Thanks in advance!

My first choice is to work as a probation officer but i am also thinking about being a social worker for DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Which would be a more suiting major for both careers.

I already earned my Assocites in criminal justice i'm going back to school to get my B.S. degree maybe a Masters if i start to lean more into social work

I know that it is very hard out there getting a decent job let alone without a higher level of education. Im a college student and most of my jobs are part-time seasonal and temp because of my schedule I don't have open availabilty due to my classes. I noticed that some people would never work at places that I have like telemarketing, pizza shops, cleaning etc. But How am I suppose to be succesful in the job field with out a college degree. I think that i have to deal with these little odd jobs while I work my way to the top. yet these people have managed to make somewhat of a decent income without an education? What is your intake on this matter?

I won't get into the reasons for quitting. But I left a message quitting my weekend part-time job. I recieved an email from the boss asking if I was ok...and why I would quit. I assume that at this point I could probably come up with something apologetic to maybe un-do the damage??
I have been a great employee...no calling off...never late...always meeting sale requirements.
Quitting right now is probably not such a great idea...it was a bit impulsive to quit, not one of my better decisions:(
I also understand that the damage may be irreversable at this point. BUT I would like to come up with some believable excuse for my mistake, hopefully getting my job back.
Any ideas?

I have been working for the same law firm for 2 years now. We have been having financial difficulty for the last few (4) months, and I think things are coming to a head. I have been paid late before, but never had a check bounce. I paid my bills when I got my check, and now, I have NO money in my account because the paycheck didn't clear. The checks I wrote to pay bills are good, but I have nothing left. My boss has even been talking about pawning his watch to make ends meet, and the firm is in $100,000 (at least) of debt. The problem is that since my boss never withheld taxes on me, because of him, I owe the IRS nearly $6000 in debt - he said he'd pay his part for me, leaving $1500 for me to pay, which is fine. But if I quit, I will never get the $4500 from him, and have to pay it all. He never reported me as his employee because he doesn't pay or report his taxes, and thus, I have to pay contract employee taxes (2X higher). I don't even know what to do anymore.

WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!

For 11yrs i've been working in the early childhood field, and to be honest the job situation hasn't been so good. I always loved to write and i've been told i can apply to a magizine i could be an advice columist, i've written for Helium.com before. But to my understanding i thought you needed to have a degree for that? But then i learned about being a free lance writter and i was wondering if i can start a career as a free lancer writter?
As you can see i have more than one question and i was wondering if someone can help me?

I applied for an HR coordinator position and was asked to come in a week later for an interview. After my first interview I was asked to come back "tomorrow" for a panel interview with the final applicants (this was a Thursday). On Friday I received a call around noon asking me to come back the following Wednesday to meet with the HR Director (big boss). I am really excited, but I do not want to get my hopes up only to be let down. Do you think I have the job? It's at a large casino chain. Any advice would be very helpful.
