Don’t Invite Your Boss To Linked In
Dear W2
I was getting a bunch of Linked In invitations and then started to get serious and began looking for opportunities. I’m not sure what I was thinking, but I sent an invitation to my boss. She accepted the invite before I realized that I had recruitment information on my profile that clearly indicated that [...]

Somebody Farted And It Wasn’t Laura!
It’s pretty smelly in Washington right now. Just as President Bush was counting the days to his retirement (as were most people in the world) – and enjoying the preparations for his presidential library – all eight years of achievements contained in one Footjoy golf shoe box – he once again passed a giant wind.The [...]

He Looks At My Chest - I Look At His Crotch
Dear W2
I like my boss, but I think he wants to have an affair with me. He’s a lot older, but I think he meets with me and comes by my area just to stare at my chest. I don’t mind, really, but I’m finding myself looking at the front of his pants a lot, [...]

All Managers Should Be Fired!
Dear W2
The managers in my department are pathetic. They hang out together and talk in a hush and when something goes wrong, the rest of us never know what happened until someone gets called in and basically gets the riot act. It’s always someone else’s fault, but never a manager’s? How is that possible? I [...]

They Get More Pay Than Me!
Dear W2

Dear Underpaid -
Wow….I [...]

Company Stealing Money From Employees
Dear Worried Worker
My company takes money out of my paycheck to pay for medical benefits that I really don’t use. I’m in pretty good shape and stay healthy, and I’ve asked not to participate in the benefits, but they say I can’t. When I got the job, they never told me that I had to [...]

Rubbing Two Sticks Together To Make Fire
Dear W2
All of our equipment is out of date and I can’t even open files on my computer from other people in the company. I’ve asked for new equipment but I’m told we can’t afford it. If that’s true, then why does my boss get a new iphone? I found out that my boss is [...]

Does Your Boss Always Have To Be Right?!
Not sure about yours, but mine has to be right about everything. Even when he’s so clearly wrong, he has to be right. What makes it worse is that people I work with will just sit there and kind of nod their heads and agree with him. He does things that go totally against any [...]
