I recently applied for a position with another company. The direct hiring manager knew that my current employer was unaware of my search. I would have given notice of course. In any event, the Executive Director ran into our Chief Operating Officer at a conference and mentioned that I was applying for a position within their company. The position had not been formally offered to me and I had not yet authorized this new company to contact my current employer.

Is this not a violation of my privacy rights? Should this not be kept quiet until I give authorization to contact references and then, shouldn't only those that I list as references be contacted and/or HR Department?

I wanted to speak to my current supervisor once the position was formally offered to me BEFORE reference checks were done. This could have created a very bad situation for me, but luckily it did not.

In any event, I cannot help that my rights were violated. Am I correct or incorrect?

President Bush, in a sharp confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children's health insurance.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071003/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_children_s_health

The president's alternative is to renew SCHIP by spending an additional $5 billion over the next five years. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says this wouldn't even support coverage of kids already in the program.

Bush says the bill would distort SCHIP's low-income focus by extending coverage to families making up to $83,000 a year. Backers of the bill insist it does no such thing. As under current law, a state can ask to go that high, typically because it has a high cost of living, but it still needs the administration's permission.

Of the over 43 million people nationwide who lack health insurance, over 6 million are under 18 years old. That's over 9 percent of all children.

Do you agree with Bush's veto?

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't
stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies, "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you."

She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am
and have been a Nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear
just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or
ask that I would find offensive." "Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a Nun kiss me."

She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have
to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I am single and I'm
Catholic!" "OK" the Nun says. "Pull into the next alley."

The Nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. "My
dear child, said the nun, why are you crying?"

"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied. I must confess, I'm married and
I'm Jewish."
The nun says, "That's OK, my name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween
party."

I have been at my job for about six months.
I really like my job, and see myself moving up eventually.

The problem is this:
My boss (I am her secretary) is the worlds biggest gossip! She tells her co-workers and me personal things about her employees and I want her to realize that she is hurting people and herself. You know how gossip gets around!

She can be really nice, but she tends to tell me alot about others that seems to be crossing the line. I never repeat what I hear.

In the past she has gotten rid of employees who stand up to her. So I feel if I let her know how much it bothers me, she may do the same to me!

She retires in a couple years.

So I guess what I want to know is:
How do I cope with this women who is making me crazy??

personality disorder?

how are you supposed to go on when you just want to recover and be loved, liked and accepted?

ive had a long mental health history and i seriously worry theres people who will use that against me and ostracize me because i have borderline personality disorder..
i already live alone, dont have any friends, never been employed....had an exceptionally rough time...and now i feel ruined and hopeless.
im 30 now.
everytimes i talk about my goals and dreams in life its like no one supports me on it.......its like i walk alone with my ambitions in life...which are to emigrate from the uk, far away, to a hot climate and build a new life.....meet good christian friends...a fiance wholl love me for who iam....these are my dreams...and no matter how bad things get i dont want to give up on them..
i walk alone in life...in a cold, dark empty place....in my cold lonely heart its like the antarctic..isolated & alone thinking how i can reach these goals & find happines

WHY would you oppose something like this that would help CHILDREN who are very sick? Medical bills are outrageous, especially when the child has a very serious illness and many families cannot afford health insurance. Many of these families are of average income and they could afford to pay for simple medical bills but not ones that cover a surgery or extended stay in the hospital. You could say that some of these families should not have had kids because they could not afford them but how were they to know their child would be sick and why should their children have to pay for their mistakes? Don't even play the well their parents are lazy and they do not work hard so that is why they cannot afford health care card...millions of Americans work hard but still cannot afford health care. Why should a hard working family who's child comes down with an illness have to be presented with medical bills that leap into the thousands? I do not understand why ANYONE would oppose this bill.
