Have you ever had a difficult work situation?, and how did you overcome it?

Answer 1

Got my SOB boss fired. I used a tape recorder to record him telling me I was masturbating therefore I was late for work. Using the N word to describe another coworker. And recorded him talking about a woman who supposedly cheating on her husband. I never played it for the bosses boss. I just went into the office and told the big boss what happened and I could prove it. Within a few days later SOB was packing his bags and people were thanking me.

Answer 2

Porkchop, it sounds like you're practicing for or fishing for answers for a behavioral interview you have coming up (or wondering what you should have said during an interview that's already done). LOL.

I had a difficult situation when a gal I was managing & training kept not getting what she was being trained on. I had to redo her reports EVERY single week (which took a lot of time) while showing her how to do it properly. Inside, I was very frustrated by it, but I remained patient and kept coaching and teaching. I suggested she write everything down on how to properly get the information in the reports so that it was useful to me (I had to compile similar information from three different people and make a master report from it). She finally got it when I had her write it down and keep it handy so she had the whole ABCs of it the next week when the report was due.

Answer 3

I once worked for a lawn care service in Florida (for a whole day) and my ****** boss tried to play a trick on me. He knew i didn't know a thing about lawn care and had been razing me all morning. We were working on a lawn in a real upscale neighborhood and everyone broke for lunch but bossman told me to kill the moles before I went to lunch. They all hopped in the truck and left me there. I didn't know how to kill moles so I decided to improvise. I found some of the tunnells and took a five gallon can of gas we used for the lawnmowers and poured every drop of it into the holes. I lit a piece of paper and stuffed it into the hole and DANG! Who would have thought it would blow big chunks of sod all the way across the street like that? When the crew came back the fire dept was still putting out the tree that caught fire and my boss almost had a stroke right there. He even made me walk home after he fired me. I guess I'm luckey the explosion didn't kill me -- or my ex-boss.

Answer 4

well, "difficult work situation" covers a lot of ground.

is the "situation" a relationship, a task, a need for knowledge, getting to & from the job, company instability, frozen pay, no pay,.......

First decide if the situation is something u can do something about. Is it your perception, issue, prejudice, knowledge, etc.
If it is, u can quit and get another job and it will slap u in the face again until u learn to deal with it. There is a lesson to be learned from every situation. If you don't learn it it will recur until u do.

If u can't do anything about it, find another job, then quit.

Answer 5

quit
