Am I being mistreated at work?

So our company is moving into a new office. It is a small company. There are some people here that are real jerks and who I can't stand. My boss's daughter for one, who has no real skills, she is just mooching off of her daddy..So my boss is on vacation and somehow she is in charge of decided where everyone will sit in the new office...I saw a copy of floorplan when she wasn't there and she had assigned everyone to offices except me and this other girl, we were assigned to some shared open area in the middle of the office. I think this is unfair and wrong, I have been there much longer than some of the people who got offices. She left 3 offices open and still put me in that area. It feels degrading. I know she has something against me. My boss isnt here so I can't talk to him and Id like to go give her a piece of my mind. I am steaming mad. How should I handle this. Ive been a good employee, I get my work done on time and my boss knows that.

I'm sorry you're going through this, as I know what it feels like to be mistreated at work. If I were you, I would move to one of the three offices sans the boss's daughter's permission. When she inquires, you just tell her that since you've been there longer than most employees, you feel you should have an office, and that she and the boss know that you do your job...your work is stellar. If she has a problem, she can go to her father. Unless her father is a jerk who only listens to his daughter and will fire you, I wouldn't worry about it. Until you have the guts to stand up for yourself, she will continue to run over you. Just be sure that your boss agrees with the fact that you're a good worker.

Don't say anything to her, just wait for your boss to get back.

Try to hang in there until your boss comes back
and then approach the matter with him.
1. The length of time you have been there.
2. Good Employee.
3. Get work done.
But do not attack his daughters character at all.
Hope the best for you.

John 17:3, Psalms 83:18.

Keep your cool, wait for your boss to get back and then calmly talk it over with him. Good Luck

Dont say anything! Do not give her the satisfaction of a reaction...she is NOT the boss and when he comes back schedule a meeting with him and ask for an office....smile and be nice to her now...if she asks you how you like your space say "It's great thanks!" and leave it till her Dad gets back.

I don't think you should wait. What are you a woman or a womouse? Tell her that since she's in charge, you have issues and spell them out for her. If she doesn't handle it like a responsible grownup, then tell daddy. Best of luck!

Very calmly, put your thoughts in a letter or memo to her, and carbon copy her dad on it. That way, you will have given timely notice, explained yourself in a calm and reasonable manner, and she will see that you are going to be sure her father sees what has transpired. Be sure you reiterate what you said above about how long you've been with the company versus other folks who were assigned offices. Be sure, too, that you don't accuse her of having something against you. Simply state the facts about how long you've worked there, list any people got offices that have not been there as long as you, and that you get your work done on time. I wish you the best of luck!

Zip it up, as hard as it is. Keep your own council, don't say anything to other workers. You may say something to the person who has the daughter's ear. Bide your time. Give the boss time to settle in when he returns and ask for a private meeting. Tell him you feel you deserve your own office. DO NOT mention the daughter's name or chart. If he refuses, you may want to look for other work. The best time to job hunt is when you are working. Good luck!

Don't question the girl and hang on until Papa comes back. Someone said don't badmouth the girl and I completely agree.

Approach the conversation with Dad professionally and without evident emotion. Do not go in whining and blubbing or you will get nowhere. Be professional - Mr. Smith, I'm concerned about where my desk appears to be located in the new space. With the open offices available, I would prefer to be in an office and I think my past work warrants an office. Would you please clarify this situation for me?

Good luck with this!

You shouldn't be looking at paperwork in someone elses office or that isn't yours. You would not be having this anxiety if you had been doing your job and minding your own business. My advice to you is if you don't enjoy where you work do yourself, the company, your co-workers, and your family a favor and find another job.

wait it out. see where your desk is once everything is final and then state your case (if you still have one) in a calm, mature manner.

DO NOT give her a piece of your mind. you are not a part of the planning process, therefore, there is probably a lot of information you're missing. DO NOT shoot yourself in the foot.

it sounds like you have a problem with this woman, but you really need to check that attitude. she's the boss's daughter and right now she's in charge. if you don't like it, you're only options are to get over it or get a new job.

as for where you think you deserve to be...you might have been there for three years, but where are you on the hierarchy of the company? some jobs require and deserve more privacy than yours. it's not up to you. i've been at my job for a little over a year, but because of my past experience in other jobs, i was offered a promotion over people who've been here for decades. that's just how business works sometimes.

p.s. twice i wrote letters to the boss outlining my griefs, like Kim T. suggested. both times, i got fired.

I'd talk to the boss when he gets back and tell him how it is.
