lying about family emergency to quit job

No matter what the backstory on the emergency was legit or not Id certainly consider the boss a dumbass from that day forward for outing himself and posting about it. ^ This. Good luck!

Yesit seems equally possible that the coworker may have noticed OP acting strange and actually been upset, or that she is completely oblivious to all of the micro-analysis OP is doing and hes inferring upset-ness where none exists simply because hes hyper-focused on tiny details and perhaps has a heightened concern for upsetting her. He didnt sexualize her in the workplace without her consent. I agree that the OP needs to get a grip, but from what he said in both the letter and follow-up comments, I think its a bit of a leap to say that hes making the workplace so uncomfortable that the poor girl (which is actually a pretty patronizing way to refer to her, IMO) might feel like she needs to [i]quit[/i] to avoid him. Also, the boss knows shes connected with the employees, so she may not even realize that she had described this event poorly when she gave them the notice. For example, the coworker I was dating was going to be fired (long story) and even though we were in completely different divisions, his manager flagged me as a potential temp-cover because I was in the area. The freaking EYE CONTACT! In doing this, not only can you point it to any real phone you want but you can set up a schedule for when it will/will not forward. Anyway, my advice, just leave it alone.

Im going to stay back today and The overall layout of most out-of-office messages remains the same no matter what the reason for the leave maybe. The receptionist that is answering calls during the regular business hours during the week is not the same person as on the weekends. If we are talking about several calls every day every weekend, yes, its unreasonable. I once donated time to a coworker (and not only lost that time but also lost out on the OT pay I wouldve received had I not chosen to donate my time, so this was a pretty significant gift dollar-wise), because I was told she was bedridden only to have her post pictures of herself at a wedding on Facebook during the time I was there working for her. Point taken, and it probably looks like that on the surface, but we the readers have the advantage of seeing his (good) intentions behind these actions. Its just that I am not participating in conversations she starts. You are lucky you are not really interacting every day so it will get better soon. I truly hope that when my family situation has resolved itself I will be asked to return to my former position or in some equivalent capacity. I left after one of the three people on my rotation gave his notice and our boss made it clear that he wont be adding a replacement to our rotation, itd be just the two of us. It happens.

You have food poisoning. WebThe ESA also gives employees the right to take up to eight weeks per year of family medical leave to care for a terminally ill relative. I do the same! Im not sure our desks were ever within 150 yards from each other. Its interesting how you lold at double standards comment without offering any concrete argument as to why one is creepy since i sexualized her or what not while other is oh so not. Do what you have to do to navigate through working with her, and taking on those extra tasks, but in the meantime look for another part time job to coincide with your IT one. I so can relate. This is when hiring a part time weekend receptionist is great. What happens when she takes call and is unable to transfer to correct contact person? Here is an example of what the email could look like: Dear Mr./Miss/Mrs [Immediate Supervisor/boss/HR contact]. I am going through a similar thing as LW #2 trying not to be creepy with a coworker crush and I am female, with a lot of social anxiety. I know it can feel like people can see into your soul during eye contact, just keep reminding yourself that mind-reading isnt a real thing. Again, I maybe am reading too much into the whole upset thing since I inferred it from her response to my Hi and her eye contact. I dont think she thinks the OP committed some horrible crime though.

You must mention when your leave started in your out of office message. Thanks for your perspective. They want advice because they are afraid they are failing.

To OP, if you need the job, Id keep your head down, but expect to pick up a ton of slack if boss thinks youre the only responsible one left and starts pushing their job duties onto you, or expecting you to cover for their mistakes by working more hours to fill in for the people who quit. Im thinking this place is closed but the boss still wants someone to cover calls that come in after hours.

I am not sure how you are not seeing the double standards and I dont agree with you there. Measuring eye contact and analyzing what it can mean DOES put you firmly in creeper category. Not to talk out of school, but the OPs feeling shy, concern over being perceived as creepy, and over-analysis of eye contact might be flags for either social anxiety or other social disorder (which is a word I hate to use). Right, I think this is the keyfor him to take the relationship lens off the way hes viewing her behavior. Most hotels have someone at the desk over the weekend.

Thats something he needs to learn this is the workplace, not a bar. This is not a one-off incident. Since youre romantically interested in her, I think youre thinking of signals people may send in a social/dating context.

OP#2. Trying to remedy the error doesnt mean the error didnt happen. Dating and work dont mix, and you need to let this go before HR gets involved. I dont see any mixed messages either, she seems clearly in camp not interested.
