Personal Questions at Work????
My boss at the rec center I work at is this little 45 year old eastern European woman. She's a nice person and all, but she asks me WAY too many personal questions!! She has asked me a couple times if I'm on birth control, and the other day I wasn't feeling well so she asked if I was pregnant over and over! She has also made side remarks about me living with my boyfriend, and how people who aren't married shouldn't be living together. Seriously?! What is her deal? I'd already been thinking about trying to find a new job, but this definitely confirms it. I don't need my boss nosing into my personal life!!!!
That is a little strange. I would definitely take the idea of talking to her and asking to stop. let her know you would feel more comfortable if she didn't talk about those things
As far as the last issue, it may just be she comes from a more conservatice background. As for the rest, I think she's just trying to be more personal with you. That's kind of the way they are
Honestly, she may not see anything wrong with it. That may be a normal part of her culture. Maybe try bringing it up and let her know it makes you uncomfortable for her to talk about those things
Hillary that is the definition of "Harassment"you should not have to leave your job without a formal complaint. I would submitt your concerns in writing an attach a copy of the labor laws violations defining harassment. Therefore if she retaliates then you also would have relaliation complaint..Lawsuit. Keep the upper hand and make an example of her overseas work ethic thats not acceptable in the US under our Discrimination/Harassment laws in the work place..In the mean time try to recall aprox dates and in appropriate questions,comments so that when you address her in a letter form you will have detailed times dates of her dialogue.God Bless
