My co-worker is weird. Once we each sit on the front desk and it’s not busy, she just turns around and stares at me. It’s very unnerving. I don’t wish to say anything, because she becomes very combative when criticized. I also don’t know if there’s an underlying mental issue. What do I do?
Do you’re employed with Wednesday Addams?
That’s just weird, and would make anyone uncomfortable.
It’s not so that you can determine if she has a mental issue or not, so I might politely ask her why she is watching you.
And if that isn’t a productive conversation and doesn’t change the dynamic, then you may have no alternative but to inform the boss.
Your other option is to show around and say “OK — staring contest is so on. Let’s go!”
I told my employer that I need out of my job. His reply to that was that he accepts my resignation. I didn’t quit. How do I handle that?
Well, technically you probably did. If you tell your employer that you just want out, and even threaten to depart if some condition isn’t met, then your employer can accept that and consider it a resignation.
So just don’t say those things! Should you aren’t being fulfilled and wish to depart, then keep that to yourself and begin in search of one other job.
Remember, we’re all replaceable — none of us are THAT vital.
Should you’re unhappy, you explain why to your manager, but never, ever speak about leaving.
Otherwise, someone could take you up in your offer.
I got drunk at a piece lunch and revealed some personal things to a colleague that I now regret. I feel embarrassed. What should I do?
It is determined by what you revealed — and I don’t need to know.
Nevertheless, my advice is to not bring up the topic afterwards.
And the subsequent time you exit together with your colleagues, don’t drink alcohol.
Work on erasing the memory of the prior time, and replace it with a latest perception of you being totally skilled, and over time, people will forget the drunken version of you.
