Boss Calls Me Sweetie

Boss Calls Me Sweetie Q: My boss is generally lovely to work with. He’s communicative, fair, organized, and a diplomatic leader. But occasionally, he calls me “sweetie” or “love,” which I find extremely annoying. I’ve let it go on way too long, and now I almost flinch when he says it. I know he means well and is a wonderful boss, but I’d prefer that he call me by my name. How can I gently, but firmly, get him to drop the nicknames? A: There can be many reasons for this kind of behavior in the workplace, and understanding the motivation behind it is an important step in creating a plan to make it stop. On one side of the equation, the behavior is meant to belittle the recipient, and is ultimately about power and control. These cases call for action that involve people in the organization who bring their own power to the table â€" like the director of human resources. Conversely, this behavior could be an inability to understand how it could possibly be considered insulting or condescending. It’s simple thoughtlessness â€" your boss might even see his nicknames as a form of endearment. It sounds like your situation is closer to the more benign motivation. Given the qualities you have attributed to your boss, it is possible that he might become upset or embarrassed that he hurt you. And those feelings could easily evolve into defensiveness or shutting down. There is no reason to trade one awkward situation for another, so it’s best to use a light touch. The next time he calls you “sweetie” or “love” â€" and you are alone with him â€" try saying something like: “I should have said something a long time ago. I really love working for you and I know you mean that affectionately, but I’d much prefer you use my name.” Using “a long time ago” provides context and gravitas, and “affectionately” signals that you don’t think his motives are malicious. If he is reasonable and considerate, that should be the end of it, and you may even strengthen your relationship with him. Ideally, he’ll respect the fact you dealt with your situation in an open, supportive, and honest way. Most good bosses want to be seen as thoughtful leaders, modern in their thinking, smart in how they look at their business, and fair and attentive to their people. Give your boss the benefit of the doubt here and the chance to prove he is all of those things â€" and more.

Hiring Discrimination Against Tattoos And Piercings - Work It Daily

Hiring Discrimination Against Tattoos And Piercings - Work It Daily At a recent job fair, a woman approached my booth and asked me a question about hiring discrimination. She was a hiring manager from another company also exhibiting at the job fair, but she wanted to know about her son’s prospects for getting a job. Related: 4 Signs You May Be Facing Employment Discrimination I talked to her about the type of work her son is interested in and asked some other questions. After chatting for a while, she told me that she knows her son has good qualifications, but he keeps getting turned down after the interviews. She then shared that her son has a large tattoo on his face. She asked me if I thought his tattoo might be hurting his chances of employment. I was honest with her and told her yes. The reality is that hiring managers discriminate, and they are totally within their rights to not hire someone with a facial tattoo (or piercing) that they believe would be offensive or inappropriate in their workplace or with their customers. A lot of jobs require employees to be customer-facing and on client sites. Although tattoos and body piercings are becoming more mainstream, there are still many traditional workplaces that favor a more conservative look. In fact, it’s very common for employers to have a dress code policy that may ban visible tattoos and piercings. Many employers also have policies that require employees to totally remove body piercings while in the office or cover tattoos with clothing and/or makeup. There are a number of protected classes when it comes to employment law. Employers are prohibited from discriminating against candidates based on age, gender, disability, national origin, pregnancy and a number of other categories. However, there are no current laws that prohibit discrimination against people with visible tattoos, body piercings, unnatural hair colors, unique hairstyles, and so on. There have been some grassroots efforts to make body art and body modification protected classes, but those efforts have not been successful. While it may not be fair to discriminate against a tattooed or pierced person, it does happen. In recent years, the number of people with tattoos and body piercings has increased significantly and we may see employers relax their standards in the future, but we’re not there yet. If you have tattoos and piercings and you feel they are an important part of your personality, make sure you find a workplace that’s accepting of them.
