    boss' daughter is manager and was allowed to bring a puppy to the office. we dealt with messes and now we deal with a very gassy 2 year dog. what can we do? the dog stays or the daughter leaves - she has her mother between a rock and a hard place. do you have some candle that will rid the smell?

    Reply: that is gross! A few years ago I was outsourced from my job. A few days later I saw an ad that looked like the perfect job for me. I called, and chatted with the hiring manager. She sounded like she was ready to hire me over the phone! She told me I was exactly what she was looking for, and arranged an interview, then said, "Oh there is one thing, the owner brings his 2 labradors to work every day" My heart sank. I have allergies and there is no way I could spend 8 hours a day in a small ofiice with 2 large dogs. I told her that as politely as I could even though I was furious.She was very disappointed as well, I could tell. Do these people who bring thier pets to work realize how they could be hurting the company??? Do you have a union? You could claim poor working conditions. Also, check your local laws, some communites have laws against animals in public places.

    Reply: Yeah I have a boss that brings his two "kids" labradores to work with him. He's not very professional, and I have allergies to them.
