My boss is horrible to me. He is hardly ever in the office but keeps taking advantage of my politeness. I used to love my job and don’t want to leave but this is an extremely difficult situation. He gets me to do most of his work and takes credit for it, and makes me work way more than I am paid for. This is affecting my personal life as I am always working from home on the weekends too. He never appreciates any of my efforts. What should I do?

Dear Saba,

Working with an unpleasant boss is never easy. You need to be able to separate your personal life from work. If this requires you speaking to your boss and explaining to him that you will be unable to work from home over the weekends, then so be it. Read More »

I have been working at this company for nearly 4 years now. When I joined this company, I was full of hopes and aspirations and thought that I was on the high road to success. However, after spending 4 years here, I am completely hopeless regarding my future here and I am thinking of quitting this job. The main problem is that there is no recognition and appreciation for a hard working employee like me.

I have not received a single increment since I have been working here and the more time I invest in the company, the more it is taken for granted. People who joined the company after me have been promoted only based on nepotism and referrals. This situation has become intolerable for me now and I have lost all interest in the current job. But leaving the job is also a scary option as I do not have a backup plan and finding a job in the present job market can be tough. Please give me a suggestion on how to deal with this situation.

I am a 28 years old guy with solid professional IT background of 7 years and for the past 7 months (approx) I’ve been doing 2 jobs. My morning job is at a reputable national financial institute where I work as Graphic Designer and get a very handsome 6-figure check every month for doing very little work as the company needs very little graphic work done on a monthly basis. My evening job is basically a back-office for a fairly big US based company.

I am managing all the working over there. Here is the problem: My parents are old minded people who did 9-5 jobs their whole life. They don’t have a clue what outsourcing is and want me to quit my evening job and continue my morning job. I’ve tried so many times explaining the whole thing to them but they either don’t want to listen to me or not willing to understand me or my work! All they see is the name of the company, the benefits I get over there – and it will bring a good impression to my resume. Now, these working hours are killing me and my performance on both the jobs is getting affected – I need to make a decision and I need advice. Please help me!

Question from the Job Seeker

I have been working in a multinational company for the last 3 years and I never had any problems at work. However, ever since a new employee was hired into our team, things have started to change. He is a habitual gossipmonger and does not spare anyone. I have heard him gossiping about our boss, other colleagues and even his old co-workers. While his habits have always annoyed me, everyone else seems to like him a lot so I kept my reservations to myself. However, recently I found out that he has been gossiping about me as well and shared some things I told him with others and exaggerated quite a lot. I am quite upset at this as I do not like being a subject of gossip. I tried talking to him about it but he completely denies that he has been involved in any kind of gossip regarding me. So, what can I do about it if he does not end gossiping about me? Should I go to my boss and ask him to intervene?
