nine to five

Our Nine To Five column about workplace dilemmas has been one of our most popular features since it began more than two years ago. Many readers have questioned whether Globe Careers makes up the questions for this column, but we don't: all the questions come to us from concerned readers looking for answers to their problems at work. And they are challenging questions. Here are the top ones of 2014:

My boss is giving me grief about my sick days

I was fired. Can I omit that job from my résumé?

I was ordered to give up my child or my job

I made a mistake by moving to a new job. What should I do?

My boss was rooting through my office

My company is clawing back my pay. What can I do?

A recruiter is sabotaging my son's job search

My boss bullies me and now I'm deeply depressed

My boss's favourite can't do her job

A nasty rumour keeps following me to work
