While traveling for work, I was downgraded from business class to economy class. The airline will have to compensate me for this change, in cash, vouchers, or miles. Am I personally entitled to this refund, or should it go to my employer?
On the one hand, my employer paid for the flight and shou...
My supervising principles are to respect colleagues as equals, respect their intelligence, while also being conversationally natural. The difficulty is that there are some aspects to their work which could use improvement (as has been noticed by myself and other colleagues) and therefore should ...
Dumb question of the day: "My co-worker is attempting to get out of a project by eating extremely fatty foods with the intent of giving himself a heart attack. Should I stop him?"
@Pete Questions asking for advice on what to do are not practical answerable questions (e.g. "what job should I take?", or "what skills should I learn?"). Questions should get answers explaining why and how to make a decision, not advice on what to do.
I've told the said colleague that I'd be happy to punch him in the chest in the event of a heart attack, but I won't be giving him kissy-face unless he shaves first.
I'm waiting for the "I slept with my coworker's husband, she found out and is making life miserable for me at work. How can I make her get over it?" question
I'm the owner of a business with about 30-40 employees. Recently, I found out that one of my employees has been having an affair with my wife. The employee has worked for me for 4 years. I felt like I was his mentor, since I recruited straight from university, taught him the ropes, and promoted h...
Now come on, you can't change the question just to justify reopening it.
OP asked for "how to deal with my employee?", Joe rightly pointed out, "it is between you and your supervisor", so the question was appended with, "how should I deal with my supervisor?". :o
How am I suppose to ignore this dilemma, if I truly have the company's best interest at heart? I am extremely loyal, objective to a fault. My myers briggs is INTJ, I checked my Enneagram Tritype and it stated "You care deeply and want to help others improve the expectations they have of themselv...
@enderland Ok, how about this? "I am not happy with my salary, my manager says he cannot do anything to change it due to budget constraints. How should I convince him to ignore those budget constraints and raise my salary anyway?" Answer: "What you are asking for is difficult, if not impossible. If your manager cannot raise your salary, you may have to start looking for other jobs." ... so change the question to "How should I look for another job?"
If that is ok, I concede I have a big misunderstanding of how this site works, and I will retract that comment.
I am certainly ok with editing the question to resolve the issues that led to closure, but not with changing it to something different just to make it fit better.
In other words, if the question is a XY Problem, let the question remain, "How do I do X?" and the answer explain, "Why you should do Y, not X". Don't change the question to, "How do I do Y?"
@RichardU "One of my employees says I am giving him stress and I should pay for his sick leaves. Is this normal?" Next question in today's sequence of spinoff/silly questions.
My employee is stressing me out. If I fire him, will that count as retaliation?
I recently asked a question based upon the surprising popularity a comment in another question received.
My question received a lot of criticism. I tried to improve the question based on that criticism (and I'm still open to suggestions), but some of the criticism was that hypothetical question...
Do i take one of my sick leave or should my boss pay for it since he caused my emotional stress
