  that's messed up, you SHOULD mention it now.
  I would find somewhere else to go, (unless you really like the job, but you just started).

  i suggest sucking it up for now and continue to keep an eye open for better opportunities. the situation is quite unprofessional but you said you need the $ so no point fucking that up.

  • If you are not going to say anything, start looking for another job today.

  You can't have a kid messing around with your WORK STATION, you could act like you are clueless and mention to the boss, excuse me, would you happen to know, when will I get my workstation/ computer? I don't mean to rush you or anything but I'm really anxious to get started!

  Then he is going to ask:
  What do you mean?

  Then you say:
  Well for the looks of it, I think I'm using someone else's computer and no offense, but whoever was here before didn't like this job, there is sticky stuff all over the keyboard/ desk I'm afraid to touch it, I think I rather wait for my own station if thats ok..
  (Wait a few seconds) ..

  maybe..
  Maybe I can get started at home and when everything is ready ..

  Your boss interrupts..
  that's probably my Son.. I will make sure it won't happen again.
  Here is 1k for the trouble in cash.

• Meeklo

  is it literally a mom and pop shop?
  I can see that.
  It rough man, a very delicate situation that needs tact on the a approach, focusing on (like you say) better productivity rather than (I hate having a kid telling me to wait til I kill the monster before you check your email)

  It's not very professional of them to have a kid poking around on a business machine, but it's their company, their machine, and their risk.

  In my opinion, you're way too possessive of someone else's stuff.

  • Really?
    you have some valid points..– Meeklo1/6

    I've just never understood how people can be so possessive at someone else's company. "My chair, my desk, my PC."– blaw2/6

    I've worked places where I had to contact IT to install a typeface, so locked down were the machines. No sweat to me.– blaw3/6

    I've always functioned on the "if I don't like it, then I can do it differently when I start my own company" philosophy.– blaw4/6

    well if you put it like that...– Meeklo5/6

    Well, of course mrdobs is right on with his comment. Probably worth mentioning potential issues just to CYA.– blaw6/6

  You should be very concerned.

  If I were you, when I leave at night, I'd set my homepage to meatspin.com and change all .exe shortcuts to go straight to this page.

  • ah crap, I didn't really want that to link. Sorry in advance, any n00bs that happen to click.– detritus1/4

    Detritus is always showing off his home videos.– blaw2/4

    The music really makes that site.– AndyRoss3/4

  delete a bunch of your important work files and blame the kids for it. Just act pissed off. He'll apologize and tell the kids to GTFO.

  I spoke with the boss, pointed to some pertinent passages in the employee handbook and talked a little about productivity and professionalism, overall the boss was much more receptive than the 'superior' mentioned before had made it seem.

  • Nice. Seems like you were professional about it.– Jaline1/3

    or maybe i have secret grudge held against me and ill be fired soon– kewHexton2/3

    or just get the shite assignments– kewHexton3/3

  You could always have set up a different user account and locked the bugger out, but it shouldn't have come to that. Glad you sorted it out.
