Hell at work since my manager is my boyfriend
July 21, 2008 – 12:21 pm
Dear Office-Politics,
Firstly, I would like to say thank God for such a website as recently I have been blazing through a couple of war and backstabbing episodes.
I am 18 this year and I happen to work as a Captain (supervisor) in a French Dining restaurant. Honestly, it has been hell because my manager-in-training happens to be my boyfriend.
I found myself in a difficult position because at times when he tells me off at work, it’s usually fired as ‘Neat’ and ‘Double Shot’ so as to set an example that he is no man of favoritism. However as time passes, I realize that it has always been at my expense without much validation, and it has been taking a toll on our relationship. I seriously don’t like it when he spits negative comments at my face but that seems to be his style of management. The ‘extra shot’ is on the house.
It is tough.
Then here comes the backstabber, (more…)
Boss prefers my BF. Thinks I am good for nothing
My boyfriend is a very outspoken, jovial and interactive person. On the contrary, I am a bit of an introvert…. Although as far as work is concerned, my boyfriend and I are both equivalent. But from my Boss’s behavior it seems that she considers him better, and that I am good for nothing.” Jennifer Glueck Bezoza responds “Your situation sounds complicated in that there is a triangle of personal and professional relationships involved…”
Ever wondered what coaching advice CEO’s receive that keep them going at full speed?
How do CEO’s balance maximum effort at work with demands in their personal life? In this interview with co-author of EXECUTIVE STAMINA, Marty Seldman, we discover some of the coaching tools he uses with his clients (explained in depth in his new book). My favorites are ’shifts and drifts’ and the three bucket system.
I have made some horrible office politics mistakes
“I have to admit that I know nothing about office politics and have made some horrible mistakes… After working for 16 years for a company, I was forced by the owner to leave.”Co-authors Marty Seldman, Ph.D. and Joshua Seldman respond: “Your letter seems to indicate that you have some important values and strengths. These include high standards, honesty and a clear sense of integrity coupled with the “courage of your convictions.
My sister is making my work life miserable
My sister “Katty” got the job. Fast forward, Katty works here and has been making my work life miserable ever since. She constantly says inappropriate things in the office.” Franke James, Inventor of The Office-Politics Game responds: “Clearly your problem is not just office politics, it’s family politics too. Unfortunately, family politics can be even worse because it can last a lifetime… Let’s look at your options. You’ve said you’re prepared to lay down an ultimatum to HR. Either Katty leaves the company or you do. It sounds logical and decisive but is it smart politically?
How do I approach my boss to discuss a raise?
I do not know how to approach my boss to discuss a raise. One more thing complicates things: My company is currently in the process of being bought out, and we are not financially sound… Timothy Johnson, Author and Consultant responds: “You have a very precarious situation with the company’s financial status and the current economic outlook. You’ve brought up some very good issues about managing your own economic worth in difficult times…”
Vacation? Soaring Costs Keep Workers Home
“As gas prices exceed $4.00 a gallon and the unstable economy threatens job security, Americans may want to consider taking shorter vacations closer to home to save money and possibly save their jobs.” writes John A. Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas
Bosses act like I don’t have a life outside of work
“I had enough of the pressures that have been thrown at me and I quit my job by walking out.“ Dr. John Burton responds, “One way to think of your action is as a personal strike. Strikes are labor’s way of telling management that working conditions are unsatisfactory and need to change. In this case, management seems to have got the message.
How do I get my loudmouth coworkers to be quiet?
“I work as a Graphic Designer and while I love my job, I hate my work environment. They scream constantly…” Erika Andersen, Author responds: “I feel your pain! I was just sitting in a coffee shop today, working on my computer, and there were two people in the corner yukking it up and talking really loud. It was frustrating and hard to concentrate — and I wasn’t even at work! So, what to do?
Bullies Take Toll On Bottom Line
“With policies firmly in place to address sexual harassment and discrimination, the next big initiative among the nation’s employers could be to root out workplace bullies - a widespread problem that is affecting companies’ bottom lines through lost productivity, low morale, legal costs, and, according to a survey, employee turnover.” writes John A. Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas
My Fortune in a Fast Food Job
“I was advised I shouldn’t be telling anyone about being considered for the shift supervisor’s job because the reaction from other employees was, “Is someone going to be fired?” Franke James, Inventor of The Office-Politics Game responds, “What is your fortune in the fast food industry? I think you’ve analyzed your coworkers and your situation very well but I’ll add in my perspective, too. Your letter raises interesting questions about management opportunities for mature workers and also the perils of revealing your desired career path to coworkers.
Soaring Gas Prices Force Employers To Respond
“As record gasoline prices make it more costly for the nation’s workers to get to and from their jobs, a larger-than-expected number of companies have taken steps to help ease the financial burden on employees, including the expansion of telecommuting opportunities, public transportation subsidies and car pool programs.” writes John A. Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas
