Co-worker delima

I work in a relatively small office. We are a close group. We recently hired "Jane." Jane is nice and efficient. However, whenever you ask her how things are going, send her a casual im or make chit chat Jane takes that as an opportunity to turn it into a 30 minute one-sided…

Wow!! He is definitely "the one"!!

One year ago, I never believed that this could happen to me. I've always been the one that bad things happen to. I spent my childhood cowering in fear from physical, sexual and emotional abuse from my father. I spent my adolesence and early 20s married to an alcoholic and…

Lingering Feelings

I need some advice from everyone. I was dating a coworker of mine for about 6 months. Everything was great, but I felt like there was a distance between us. So when I probed I found out that she was already in a relationship and was living with her baby's daddy. She was crying when she told me…

A Detroit city worker says her coworker's too-strong perfume makes it too difficult for her to breathe and do her job. So she's suing!

Hey, I support smelling nice. So much that I'm always consumer-testing new deodorants to see which ones really work (and don't). And while it can be easy to sort through all the new perfumes to find the right one for me (this quiz helped), I still have to remember, there's a fine line between smelling good... and just smelling.

Going postal in my mind

Just last week, a 48-year-old man who worked in the imaging department of a hospital outside Anchorage, Alaska walked into the hospital a day after being fired and shot his direct supervisor and another senior employee. One was killed, the other is still in critical condition. The man himself was...

Help! I hate one of my coworkers

<p><strong>Dear Cubicle Coach:</strong> There's a colleague I simply cannot get along with, and we were just assigned to work on a project together. I asked my boss to reconsider, and she said, "You have to work out your differences." Was that a cop-out?
