Am I a difficult person?

I understand that.. but they are the bosses. They can do basically what they want to do.

I don't think you are one.If you don't like something,you have the right to remain away from them.You have the right to remain in an atmosphere that is comfortable to you.If anyone is a difficult person,it is your boss who forces you to remain in an atmosphere you don't like.Try to talk to your boss separately and explain to him all the problems that you have in that atmosphere.Talk to him politely.I am sure he will understand your problem.

Oh we already experienced that too at work. We work in our boss' place so everytime they cook something we smell everything. They also have two dogs outside which are too noisy when people are passing through or by our gate and sometimes they are so stinky. I hope they will also care for their employees. They have a lot of restrictions when it comes to us. But for them, there are no restrictions.

I don't think it is you. It is unacceptable to have family time at work. Work should be work and family time for family.

Hi That's so sad. But what kind of people are they ? don't they maintain any cleanliness? What ever w do we should see that the people around us don't feel uncomfortable. But I don't think these people have these manners. I dont think you have any problem.

I don't think you're a difficult person. When we go to work we expect to get into a professional environment where we can be focused and perform our job well, and we need concentration. We also have to feel good in that same environment. So it's ok to feel that way.

I do not see that you are being difficult in here. I would think that your boss should consider that business is different from his personal life. The fact that she is even letting their dog inside the workplace, then that is unprofessional. I would not mind them eating there once in a while, but of course in a designated place - the pantry, or his office that he too can have a private time with his family. I'd also feel this way and ask even if i can bring my dog if theirs is allowed. hehe :D

All of us has own rights to express what we feel. It is so happen that you don't like the smell of their dog. And even me don't like the smell only the different is I love dog. You are not difficult person only you're very open to express yourself. And that is being you.. Stay happy my friend... :)

No, actually i think you're just being yourself and as a matter fact it seems you really are at odds with things that you don't like and expressing them out would really define who you are. Patience and perseverance are real good virtues in the company set up like you're in. It's your boss family and you learn to acclimate with it, lol!

Hmmmm.... you just seem to be irritated too much about a lot of things. I hope you won'r feel bad about what I said. But there are things that even if we really do not want to be around with, there is just nothing we can do but to get used to it. Unless, it is already endangering our safety, then you can just tell then how you would want things be.

Well, you have to accept the fact that they are you boss family.. so you cannot prohibit them of doing that.. and for sure the problem its not you but them.. I understand you Its really difficult to do your job if you are surrounded by mess.. I think you should try to talk to your boss sincerely about it.. there is no harm in trying...

I have been in that situation before. Everyday my boss come with some of her family member accompany her.They will eat, drink, chit chat. Im the one who always get busy when they come, if they are hungry my boss will asking me to order something from the restaurant next door, she even asking me to look after her children while they are all eating or have meeting. It was a hard days for me working there cos I can't focus on my main job. I am glad I quit.

A bit :). Your boss has the right to eat whatever he wants at his place... and I don't think fast food smells THAT atrocious. But letting their dog there... now, that's unsanitory and a dog doesn't belong in an office setting.

It's common.I struck in this kind of problem too.In my dormitory,my roomate always stay up late and it really makes me mad when i can't sleep well.But now it gets better now for i am used to the situation. Hope you can solve the problem soon.

no, your not! it is a simple want in life and it should be respective. me, myself could not stand smelly dog and that is nasty really and they should know that on the first place. they should be responsible when they want to raise a pet dog for dog will get smelly if not being properly cared of. maybe try to talk them for this matter. there is nothing wrong with you, it is just that you are not comfortable staying with the smelly, noisy dog and children hahhaha

That's just the thing if you work for a family company. The workplace becomes the extension of the family room. I think you are not being difficult, you are just trying to do your work without getting disturbed. Maybe you should formally tell your boss that it bothers you. Or maybe he should give you leave to do your work outside the office, like in your home when his family is there just so you can work in peace.

you have every right to feel this way if your trying to do you job for them then they should have a little respect

well each person have their own likes and dislikes. i myself am allergic to the sound of horses running. weird right? seriously, it drives me nuts whenever i hear it. by the way, i would blame your boss. he has to keep his family at home and office just as a working place. so be bold enough to tell him, but since he is your boss try being polite. good luck...!!! :)

Yes, in this case you are. I'm sorry to tell that. Are you the only one feeling uncomfortable? I think it's great having my family around me(including the dog). Well, obviously it's not great for you. If there is no compromise possible - I personally don't think it is - look for another job! I had a boss smoking in the office with a dog thinking it is a toilet. It's a question of education. I could work from home!

You are not a difficult person, you feel like this for a reason. It's hard to change the environment but you can change your view about this stinky thing.just don't take it serious and let it be a part of your working condition.
