My boss is busy with my officemate

Is the boss the owner of the company too? Because if he is not, then anyone could let the owner know about it. But first, try to know if he is single, because if he is, then there's no problem about their relationship. But if he is married then that's an illicit affair and in our company it's prohibited and a violation.

Oh my.. coffee for her? I think that's just not right. I really wouldn't know what to do, go to HR? Or maybe ask for transfer to other unit? It's such ah hard situation, and it does get into my nerve when there are people in the office who acts like they are one of the bosses just because they are close to them. I mean, really it's like being a teacher's pet, only worse. LOL. Well, good luck to you, and I do hope that you can find a way around the pretty officemate and the weird boss.

She could be doing that but you can't really do anything about it. If I was in your office, I will just do the best that I can in my own job. I will just try to be excellent, not because I also want to climb the corporate ladder, but because that is what I'm supposed to be doing regardless. If she gets higher faster, then she does. At least your conscience is clean that you worked your a_s off. you shouldn't let them bother you. I am just reminded of a colleague at my previous workplace. She was rumored to have been doing the same thing your officemate is doing. Who can blame the people talking about them when it is obvious that her team leader was very much supportive of her. Even to the point of neglecting his other team members. And she got promoted so fast through the recommendations of her powerful team leader. There were clearly others who deserved the promotion more than she did. So one time this girl got drunk with some of her teammates. She was ranting and shouting that she deserved her position/promotion. Clearly she was aware of what people were talking about her and it affected her so much. Whether she was guilty or not, she was not happy. She felt she had to defend her every promotion. Just a little story to tell. Who knows, even if your officemate seems proud of what she's doing or the benefits of your boss' attention to her, she might be ashamed inside. You'll never know. So, you should just do excellently in your work and treat her still with respect, as one human being to another. Best not to lose your values and morals while others are losing theirs.

Is he the your supervisor or the boss/owner of the company? If he's a supervisor you can go and make a formal complaint. But that only makes since if he's a. Married -or--- b The company has a policy against employees dating -or--- c. Is actually seeing her (of course interviewing the others will give superiors and idea of what you think is going on and how its effecting business hours. If he's the boss/owner depending on bad the situation is I would say grow a pair and tell your boss that your not her gopher just because she's his girlfriend. She still holds a job at the company and currently isn't performing and the rest of the team is doing her work for her. ***You should be firmly polite and conversational. Don't cross your arms or your legs and watch for him doing it. Its a sign of being defensive-you don't want that. ****If she's not doing her job, that is what you should be talking about. Not their intimate relationship. Talk about job perfomance and have some suggestions ready to help solve the problem(don't say fire her) *****If you are being pulled from your work in order to fetch and carry for a meeting in which you are not invited(and its not your job to do). Tell him that doing this is cutting into your work time. If he needs help setting up for a meeting ask him to give you 24 hours notice to get it ready. (Notice that this assumes that boss and the lady are having business discussions not private lunches. You don't want him to think your getting involved in their business just get them to be more considerate of everyone else.) You should also take notes during your meeting with him and send him a copy in an email. Ask him to review and confirm your notes(if you can send it with an alert that tells you he opened it all the better). This ensures that HE knows that you know what he said during the meeting and can't contract it later. Sorry to say that sometimes that is what happens. Those who choose to use their bodies to get ahead against those who can actually think farther than tomorrow. Dont' worry when the company stocks go down he'll go back to his wife and she will be back in the lunch line with everyone else.

whether your boss is married or not, it's obvious that your officemate is using her body and charm to reach her clamor for a higher position. Just like you I despised people with that kind of attitude, they will do everything,just to get what they want, without even thinking that they are already stepping on somebody's shoes. Yes, maybe she'll get promoted but believe me it's only for a short period of time. Why?? because everyone knows what she did just to get that promotion and you as her officemates knows her capabilities. Next time that your boss ask you to get her a coffee try using iodized salt in lieu of sugar...hehehhe, just kidding...

i think that girl so risk at the promotion and fired. hehe did your boss get married? if yes hehe i think that girl will be closely to be fired or get a blash from his wife. all in all, they couldn't always keep a good relationship like this ..

Just wait for another year, if she was not caught by the boss's wife, she would be jealous of any younger and prettier face coming to the company and that would make her face not nice to look at anymore by the boss.

I think that you should just let them be and have them do whatever they want. I think that it is not a good site to lay eyes on to but things need to get done in the workplace. I think that it would be better for you to just do your tasks and pay less attention to their activities. I think that this is very normal in general in any workplace. I think that if you decide to let go of your work and find another one because of the thing your boss has to your officemate because it is annoying you is not a very good idea. Finding a job is not easy. I think that you will be fine if you just ignore them and be productive.
