What would you do?

Call your boss out on it. Tell them you can hear them and it isn't appropriate.
You deserve better.


Also I like the idea below my comment lol

Could you walk over to their office door (so they see you) and look them in the eye and slowly close the door, sure would show them that you heard them and perhaps embarrass them. When I first started at a previous job, my boss was talking badly about me and I just walked away and always regretted not letting him know that I heard exactly what he said.

Do you need the money for the next two weeks? if not say F it and leave. If you do need to stay confront her about it tell her it is not appropriate. If she doesnt stop put on your big girl panties and deal with it. Some people are just *kitten*. You will be dealing with this in some form the rest of your life.

Stick it out & show them that you are the better person in this situation. You NEVER want to leave a job by just walking out; you never if that one action will come back & bite you in the butt later!! It's only a week; plus think about how petty & childish they are and one of them is your boss~very unprofessional!!! Show them you are made of stronger stuff than they are, I know you can do it!!!!!!!

Sticky situation. Just do your job and keep a low profile. You "could" ask your boss for a letter of recommendation to take with you when you leave. That way, you can decide whether or not to use it when you apply for future employment. Believe me, it's not uncommon for people to talk when someone is leaving. Try not to take it personal. People are jockey-ing for position because you are leaving.

Best of luck!

Edit: Hmm I don't agree with ktarvin above. Keep in mind that while you are working any and all behavior can affect future employment. Act professional at all times. If you up and walk out, a prospective employer may look at that as something that may happen again in the future.

Stick it out...you might not be using your boss as a reference, but word travels in certain cirlces (not sure if you are intending to stay in the same industry or not). Even though its not your fault, you don't want to be known for leaving your company hanging. While interviewing for positions in my office, that was the one thing I wanted to know about prosepctive employees.

I'm still in school and took this job because it was more appropriate for my schedule at the time. I will most likely go back to the service industry for the time being. I'm relocating 1,200 miles away so fortunately nobody will get word...at least I hope.

Than by all means tell them the environment they have is poisonus and leave

I say stick it out. They may think badly of you and now you know it, but never leave a job before your notice is up. It stinks because they are talking trash but if you walk out on them that is just one more bad thing they can say about you. At least prove them wrong in some regard. Hang in there.

If there is an HR department consider filing a complaint just to have record of it.

Or maybe take out your cell phone recorder, and start videotaping the incident.....and walk into her office (as the door was open) to see who was making the conversation, and politely inform them that you just wanted to take their picture so you could have something to remember them by! Then, I would contact the DOL in your state and file a formal grievance. Good Luck:flowerforyou:

If you are not going to need her for a reference why are you still there? You do not need to be subject of abuse and that clearly is what it is. Leave.

Hahahah, I like this one.

Please, if you can, do not allow their opinion of you define who you are. This can become toxic in your life and cause a resentment, let me tell you this kind of resentment is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. You are the only one that is effected by this.

These people WILL get their turn riding on the Karma bus, trust me, they will. As hard as it may be, try to trust in that and not let these people bother you.

Seesh, and we thought the bullying would stop in high school huh?

Take care and remember, when you take the high road, you look down on the low lifes.

Lesa

Do you have references you can use on a resume that aren't from this current office?

If so. Get a box, pack your stuff and go home today.

Life is short, don't let people treat you like s**t.

Contact HR.

Been in that position and it is not nice.

I worked at a place for 7 years. Did six months off site and came back to a roasting from ths boss becuase one of the new boys (he had been there 9 months) had been bad mouthing me.

I told my boss straight that I did not like being stabbed in the back but it was not his problem I had to deal with it.

I had another job offer so the next day I quit. But I still saw out my months notice as I did not know where I would run into him again or how word of mouth would travel.

Started new job 50 miles down the road to find out that my new boss was close personal friends with my old boss and knew every bit of what had happened. But he also told me that bad mouthing would not happen at my new job and had more respect for me that I stuck it out for the full month notice even though this guy was giving me hell every day. My ex-boss did nothing.

Funnily enough I quit the new job after a month and they said I had to do a month's notice. Luckily I was on holiday for 3 weeks of that and took it unpaid. They forced me to come back for a week and made my life hell.

I was on call for the week. They made sure there were problems all night every night so I was working on 2 hours sleep. When in the office I was being ignored to the point they would pass me notes rather than talk to me.

I stuck it out for the week. Walked out with my head held high. No hand shake or anything.

As I left I opened the window. Went and got in my car. Drove round the front of the building and leaned out the car window doing a dukes of hazzard style YEE-HAAAAAAAAA

It felt satisfying but I still had my head held high and both companies have given me a good reference.

Now I word with a cracking bunch of chaps in a lovely office. 2 people have left and while there has been joking they have both been respected for bettering themselves and the jobs they have done.

Good luck. Stay strong and it will be over in 5 working days.

If you hear them talking about you go and have an extended coffee break. You have handed your notice in. There is sod all they can do about that. And only do half the jobs your supposed to do even if you tell them it has been done.

They will only notice once your gone and they won't be able to get you back lol.

Could you ask your boss to give you a letter of recommendation instead of hope that when she is called she'll be nice? That way she would write the letter and you would be able to see it and deliver it to your future job prospects. Just a thought.
