My Boss Is Crazy

Going beyond the call of duty

I'm an exec assistant and have absolutely had it wit my boss. Hes nice allot of the time and hooks me up bonuswise each year but has also been verbally abusing me for years and definitely doesn't appreciate me like he shoold. I've got serious dirt on this guy to. I come in super early every day, answer his phones and can't even get up to go to the bathroom much less have lunch break so I always eat at my stupid desk. Then I have to get his personal errands done also. He either has a serious coffee cup fetish or OCD because he makes me buy a new porcelain coffee cup each day and pour his coffee into it. I have to take the old ones home. It's gotten to the point where I have to give them away because I don't have room for them at my house! And he knows when it's not a brand new cup.

I cant belive he can tell when the cup has only been used once. Thats extreem. I have a new boss who has OCD as well and i she is making 10 times more work for me right now. She wants me following her crazy repetitive order of things. Im taking it to HR. I love my job and dont want to lose it but there stress wheres off on those of us just trying to do a job

Bad friend-vestment

My best friend is a bum

So, in the craptastic economy crash, both my best friend and I lost our jobs. We've always talked about starting a business together and the opportunity was thrown right in our laps, so we decided to take the steps to start up. We're graphic artists/website designers and we each put in our whole savings to rent a studio, print up cards, get our supplies, etc. We have a couple small clients and I work my butt off to please them, while Damien (my friend) sleeps in all the time, slacks off and leaves me with 80% of the responsibility and work. He's my best friend, but this is ridiculous! Do I just try dissolve the partnership and lose my friend and partner?

I think if you really talk to your friend, he’ll get it through his head. Threaten to fire him if he doesn’t pick up the slack. If he continues doing what he’s doing, he deserved it, but give him a chance to pull a 180.

Drama in the work place

23 year-old from LA

I hooked up with a co-worker at an office party and, lucky for me, everyone found out. Now the weird looks are getting to be too much to deal with. All of the sudden, I’m the office skank!

Raging work issues

28-year old from Charlotte

Help! I’m a raging bitch to work with. For awhile I just thought it was cuz everyone else around me was messing up all the time. But now I’m pretty sure all my co-workers hate me. Not sure what’s setting off my attitude problem, but it’s bad news. I’ve tried meditating but suck at it.

- Jamie- I got the embroidery hoop at a thfirt store, but they are available at craft stores. I put a piece of fabric and pieces of twine in it, and added some mini clothespins to hang inspiration bits.
