Does he look like a b****?

It is technicailly related to the job. If the employee can not find someone to watch their child they can't come to work.

She's the boss, she can do whatever she wants. Get back to work!

To number 58 yes it is.

Babies are important

Ya who does she think she is?! Your boss or something? YDI

Some places only have that open door policy for show. My bosses for instance, like to pick favorites, and verbally abuse the people they don't like, loudly and in front of a large group of coworkers. Whenever myself or anyone else has gone to these bosses or HR to confront this, they somehow brush it aside and change the subject onto something completely irrelevant, so that we are the ones at fault. Hostile work environments are unfortunately not uncommon, so all of us lowly peons have to suck it up and work to make that meager paycheck. Whilst actively looking for a better job, of course.

LIKE A BOSS, literally.

Unfortunately the world has many things that aren't right, but we sometimes just have to live with until they hopefully get better and change. The bush administration is a prime example.

I bet all the people who said you deserved it probably bosses who tell their employes not to do something but then do it themselves. Yls.
