What does she mean?

its easy for me to sit here and tell you not to take any notice of her, but its obviously not as easy for you to do. but as long as you do the job then don't worry about her, some times people have off days, we can't get on with everyone, just try not to let it bother you.

Oh well that's the power of the boss, she can boss people around. Lucky her.

There could be many reasons for this question. For example, what does your work history look like? Have you been reliable? Good attendance record? If not, she may be concerned about that. Or more likely, she's used to the HUGE number of temporary workers who treat their jobs as something unimportant. Not everyone has a sense of duty. For example, when I had to leave a local job because of health issues, I gave the company two weeks' notice... and the management team was stunned. I was the first person who actually worked the notice period in years - everyone else who left just said "I'm leaving" and stopped working the next day! If you knew why she'd said "No" when your supervisor brought you back, you'd probably have a better understanding of her reasons. (By the way, 60 hours a month is 15 hours a week, not 6.)

There are a lot of bosses out there that really aren't all that good with dealing with people, so that really shouldn't be something that upsets you too much. However, I don't really know that you answered the question that she asked you properly. You see, I think she was wanting you to answer if you would be willing to work 2-4 times a week or just once a week. You know, working just six hours a week would only equal 24 hours a month, so you clearly need to work an average of about three six hour shifts every week.

Hi there, sorry to hear that but there are some superior who over act with their position and act mean too to there employees. I was a supervisor before but never act so bossy with people I worked with I am friendly and would asked them first for days off they want as long as I have enough people to work with.

I don't understand what is her problem . she want the worker to work so why can't she just maintain a friendly relation with workers . Its too bad on her part that too in the managerial level. somebody should give her the management tips i guess.

Unfortunately, you are not the only one who has encountered this where you work. Often times I feel they think they own us and can control the hours you work and what type of job you will do, and decide what more you can do if anything. Most times they are only looking out for themselves and never take into considerationthe thoughts and feelings of anyone else.

I think it is unfortunate that you are in the boss's bad book and even more so, since you had returned to work after a brief absence. Nowadays, people are more mindful of first impressions than looking closely into the person's actual attributes. Everywhere is the same and once you are not favored life will be similar to what you are experiencing now whether it be in the office, school or home of your prospective in-laws. I don't think we can do anything to change other peoples' mindsets or how they want to see us but I am sure we can always make a day for ourselves and not be spoiled by them. All of us have our attributes and I am sure we will be able to move their hearts one day about us. We will need to be patient and sincere. I hope that all will be well with your superior one day. All the best.

Just try to understand your boss.To build up an authoritative image some may be mean at first but as the days go on you will see her good part.

Do you mean you have worked before in that company. And your new superior gave you an unfriendly welcome.Is this the first time you have met her/him, if so maybe it's her/his way to gain respect which I think is not the right way to act when welcoming an employee.

democracy is the nice way of pure abuse, its just rules and regulations written by the ones in absolute control whom can modify them as pleased.

I don't know what type of work you do and I guess it really dosen't matter because there are just some people in charge of group of people...that just take the word "Boss"...a little to far.. But this didn't seem like it was the case...Maybe she was trying to ascertain if you wanted to work additional hours or not and she just didn't ask the question the question the proper way... anyway there still isn''t any reason to be disrespectiful about the situtation..practicing friendly manners,,,good luck...

There are people in the world like that. I especially notice people in the HR department, some are kind and open but some are not friendly and they have these ugly expressions in their faces that make you want to beat them up. Just do the right thing, do what is expected of you and ignore that person's negative statements. Pretend that person doesn't exist, it will be good for your health.

I dislike people with that type of character after all they act like they are the only important people in the world... They believe you should not be treat like a human being... I think people who do these things are people who has some thing against you or people who are just jealous of you...
