I have a crush on my boss,What should I do?

Friday, January 9th, 2009
Rusty asked:


I am 23 years old and I just moved across the country to go to school. I took a part time job at a clothing store about a month ago. My boss is 25 and I have been attracted to her ever since I started.The atmosphere we work in allows for alot of contact between us. We are always joking around and touching each other in playful manners.I think we have great chemistry and I really enjoy my time with her. I know it is typically a bad idea to get involved with a co-worker but I am willing to leave the job if we have a chance at a relationship. However I really enjoy the job and if the crush is not mutual, I would like to stay. How can I find out how she feels without risking a friendship if she is not intrested?

My boss is so immature, and I think this is illegal. Sexual Orientation?

Lemons asked:


So, a teenage girl who works at the store I work at told my boss she had a “hot date” as a joke, as a reason for not wanting to stay late. She is always sarcastic. Another young girl walked in asking for this girl I work with. My boss assumed this meant our employee was a lesbian. She was trying to gossip about it with me today, I wouldn’t really respond, then later when one of her “golden” employees walked in the door, she gossiped about it with her.

I have a whole list of complaints, temper tantrums where she throws everything all over and makes me clean it up, rips papers out of my hands and screams at me because I’m doing my paper work rather than cleaning her desk, talking about customers behind their backs.. the list goes on and on…

I was wondering if this kind of thing is considered illegal or immoral and if calling HR would be in order.

We are in a very large corporation, this would mean corporate would come and investigate this matter.

Also, would I be in danger of losing my job?

Thanks in advance!
Thanks everyone for the input. I know a lot of what I said does sound less than shocking, but about a year ago one of our store managers was fired for slamming a door, one of the employees found it insulting and HR fired him within a week. When I say my boss yells at me, I mean she screams until her eyes are watering and all customers have left the store. It’s pretty ugly!

Is Flirting with your boss wrong or harmfull ?

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
Confused asked:


Ok, I will try to make this short … Me and my new boss of a few months… Get along, smile, joke, touch finger tips, and work toguether, chit chat, discuss business, exhange looks, wink at each other, laugh, together etc … so much, so often and so well that I fear for our lives… my colleague who is usualy nosy towards everything anyways is allways saying things like … “I wish I had time to chat”, “dont you guys have work to do”… “too much noise and fun” …”get back to work” Work towards me , him or us… IS this Wrong or anywhow harmfull? I dont recall coming accross any policies against flirting … “however, I do know that one of top management is against hiring family members …at the same time … well, he is married …. I am single … which well might make me look bad but we both do it to each other … takes 2 to tango. What do you think?
So that everyone knows … This started very gradually and I did not even found him attractive or interesting when
he first started to work there… it happened very slowly and gradually

jenn18_s10 asked:


so a guy a work makes sexual remarks, flirts all the time- all as a joke with me, and i posted a sex letter to his myspace on friday night not at work on my home time after work, but didnt post the comment to his profile; i wrote him in the email section on myspace- and instead of him calling me his gf called me threatening to charge sexual harassment at my work against me and give my bosses the letter i sent him.. sounds like she’s controlling his life; but in all regards if she goes to my boss for this sex letter that was a joke and i told her repeatedly it was and i am sorry; i could file against him for comments gestures and staring at me, telling his friends about his quote “the best as* he’s ever seen.. so what would u do. i am a female with a huge outgoing, joking personality; sometimes it gets dirty but i cant control my mouth when people joke with me, you know i throw stuff back at the guys at work. but his gf doesnt know that he even talks to me as a friend..until now; so he’s probably lying to her making himself look good. but i dont want to sue or be sued over a joke; im 25 yrs old, he’s an 18 yr old, and yeah its immature but i apologized for joking and making a friend. what do i do? im really worried this could ruin my life if he fakes and files a report against me.

Have you guys heard this joke about the Koran?

Friday, January 2nd, 2009
Wethepeople asked:


Have you guys heard this joke about the Koran? Hilarious!!

The quran is at a job interview. The boss asks, “Do you have references?” quran replies, “Torah and Bible, call them.” So the boss calls Torah, and Torah replies, “I have never heard of him.” Confused, the boss calls Bible and Bible says, “I know him; he is a liar and a thief and is actually from Satan, the devil, don’t believe him.” Pressed by the boss, quran defends “they are liars.” And the boss reasons: “if they are liars, why do you use them for references unless you are insane?”
You know….Since Muslims say that the Bible is corrupted…..then why do they use it as a reference???!! LOL…ridiculous….
