Hmmmm, here's my soapbox .Shouldn't there be a law regulating this? Shouldn't employers be required to tell you the pay for a positon before you apply so you don't waste their time and you theirs? There is nothing worse thatn getting hired and finding out you don't make enough, now you have an xtra W-2 to file for a day of work! With so many people on public aid, unemployed, in dire need of money, employers hold the resources they need like insurance, money,opportunity , shouldn't they be required to give felons, homeless, disabled, old, and the inexperienced a chance to fail first before they say no? Shouldn't employer be required to asnwer your request for employment within a certain amount of time ....say two weeks? Please write your local congressman about these issues . I am from Illinois and I am writing this to my congress peron! Thanks for listening.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology w\ an emphasis on MIcro and Molecular Bio. I've been working in sales and account management for the last year and a half and I've been managing\producing around 400k in business a year for the company I work for.

I'm trying to get out of sales altogether. I am planning on entering law school eventually, but would like to work in something environmental\legal\etc. in the mean time. Where do I even begin? I live in Orlando and it is a dead zone for this kind of stuff.

The check also states that by cashing or depositing the check, my membership in a certain program will be activated. I don't see how my membership could be activated since I am not a member and they don't have any of my info. Will that activate the addressee's membership?

I politely told her ( co-worker ) she was ugly and that her clothing looked horrible. I gently instructed her to go home and change. The ugly wicked woman slapped me across the face. Of course I laughed in her silly face but it's the principle. I need advice for an employment lawyer, my friends. Give it now.

This job is interviewing me for three different depts at different dates and times. How can I get them to speed up the process? One dept I don't care for at all and would rather skip it if it will speed up time. One I really want but the hours don't work, how can I re negotiate hours? How can I make the employer spped up b/c I have to take time off of current job. I went to a scheduled interview yesterday and they cancelled as I got there.

Also,I have eight years of experience at their competitor (who is better) how can I negotiate for more money than the basic shift diff,or weekend diff. This isa health care position.

Hi,

I just wanted to share my horrible and frustrating experience with others about Moody National Bank. Do not do banking with them. At least I won't anymore.

They are a small bank with few branches. You do not have access to them everywhere.

I was mistreated at the bank and came out very dissatisfied.

The manager, Joey Juarez did not notary publicize more than one of the two similar documents for me. He said he just does not. His reasoning was that he has to record it twice in his notebook.

They charged me 2 consecutive NSF fees of $29.50, one of which was for a negative balance of $0.47. They did not even waive one fee as courtesy.

I have been wasting my money for so long that I don't know how to stop. I see money in my bank account and say, what the heck this $10 isn't going to make a difference. But I do that about 10 times a day! I end up spending more then I have. I buy anything and everything that I want. I end up not having enough money for bills. I'm almost 30 years old and I don't have any savings. Does anyone have any ideas on how to manage money? Or fun, cheap ways to have fun. I find I spend most of my money on entertainment and food.

I lost both my jobs as a result of this, along with a 2 month gap of unemployment. My back, which I had surgey on in 2001, had been fine but now feels the same way it did prior to surgery. Im on my way to my last chiropractor visit, and my back progress has just gotten worse over time. I have an attorney, but I don't feel they're really worried about me. Any help from my fellow yahooligans would be great.

Call your Senator today and urge them to support a permanent end to the death tax.

Senator Bill Nelson - 202-224-5274

Ending the death tax is a matter of basic fairness. No one should be taxed twice and death should not be an excuse for the government to take your money away. Congress passed and the President signed death tax relief, but if nothing is done, the death tax returns at full force in 2010, resulting in a massive tax increase on family-owned small businesses. These same businesses often cannot survive into a second generation because of the death tax.

This is an issue that affects us all. Just do the math. Sixty-one percent of small business owners say that the death tax limits their growth - and small businesses create two out of every three of the new jobs in America. This Democrat obstruction threatens job creation. Call Senator Bill Nelson at 202-224-5274.

My supervisor has told my co-workers that my manager has asked him to set me up and since then I have been writen up by him three times in three days. He twists the truth so that he can say that I am not doing my job and writing me up for things that no one else would be written up for. He is openly disrespectfull to me and constataly tries to provoke me with words. Myself and everyone I work with sees me being pruseacuted and feel it is horriablily wrong, but I feel helpless to prevent it. I have already went to our H.R. department but they seem to put it mildly, uncareing. P.S., I resently resigned my postition of supervisor in order to attend school and the person directly harrassing me is the person that replaced me. I am not a disgruntled employee with some agenda, I just wanted the freedom in my schdule to be able to attend school and I feel I am being unfairly punished for stepping down. Please, any advice would be welcome.

I recently left a great work enviorment where I knew everyone to work at my towns hospital which I thought it was going to be a real treat.The position I hold is a housekeeper..Talk about awful..I went to this job for the last 2 days realizing that this job may not be for me.My new coworkers are a treat to work with.There language is inappropriate for that kind of setting.My mother in law is a nurse and she works in the same hospital and I told her how my days was going.She suggested I try to hang on to this job and ignore my coworkers.If I do,I will never get a chance to know them but I also dont want to be involved with the "drama" that they talk about as some of it is not pretty and I was told to "advoid" 5 coworkers as they like to " go back and nark on you if you do something wrong"
I told my husband I couldn't handle this job but he insisted I should stay and on my days off to look for something else.Should I quit and leave my husband and I in a financial situation or wait?
