I'm getting a big bonus at work and I'd rather not let the government take nearly half.

There are huge corporations like Wal-Mart and McDonald's that make billions of dollars, and they barely pay their employees a little bit above minimum wage, if that. I just don't think it's fair that the workers bust their butt to try to make a living, when in actuality all they're doing is busting their butt to make someone else rich and they're doing all the work for the rich to get richer.

Not only that, but then the taxpayers end up having to pick up the tab when it comes to healthcare and food expenses because the workers are entitled to public programs to help them financially, when the employers should be paying them fairly.

Wouldn't you think the government would come up with a new law that would force the better pay? Just like with minimum wage, it's X amount of dollars per hour if you employ under 30 employees, and a little higher wage if you employ more people. I just think it's unfair to get paid so little when the employer makes plenty of money; what do you think?

Hourly employees are paid by the hour, and get time and a half for hours worked over 8 per day.

When I was a salaried employee I was working up to 60 hours per week, sometimes travelling on company business for a 3 week stretch, and yet I never received a cent over my monthly 'salary'. Occassionally some paltry bonus, but it was entirely discretionary.

I believe that this law needs to be reviewed. There is nothing to stop a Company, and I worked for a few, to turn a salaried employee into basically a slave. In my company you were required to put in 8 hours, with special projects the hours could go late into the evening, the weekend, etc. It was ridiculous.

I believe that Corporate America knows they have a 'good thing'. But this form of compensation should stop. Every individual should be paid for every hour he or she works. Salaried employees have a life too.

I just paid 600 to get out a plan to get a home. I make enough money to get house, so I decided to get a real big cool one. But when I was in the process of the getting the loan I regretted it. For the time in my life I have money, I'm buying sutff like soccer balls, footballs, baseball equipment, rockclimbing equipment, good rollerblades, I can save and maybe go to China, or make a trip to Japann. I always wanted trampoline, and I can get one. I can afford things now like going horseback riding, going scuba, I lvoe being able to afford bowling, and even pay for someone else's dinner. I was going to lose all that if I had gone ahead and taken the loan to get the house. I just wouldn't be able to afford spoiling myself.

Am I stupid for backing down?

I've been looking for a part-time job in the banking industry, most likely as a teller, and I've applied on the JPMorganChase Careers website... if anybody's a teller for Chase, can you tell me if/when I might hear from them? Does it take awhile for the online application to process down to the branch? Or should I just look online at JPMorganChase.com and then go directly to the location where the job listing is? Any current Chase employee answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I had a real estate investor offer a "subject to" purchase of my home. I understand the basics of it (he takes ownership of the house and continues making my mortgage payments until he re-sells the house, etc.), but it almost seems too good to be true. What are the problems or risks I would be taking on by selling my house this way? Is there a catch? Would I be better off selling my house the old fashioned way?

I'm glad I don't work for this company any more. One of my ex-co-employees mentioned that the CEO had hidden motion sensor operated cameras distributed throughout the company. This guy was a control freak, and his personality leads me to beleive that he might have secretly monitored us. Does an employeer need to notify employees that monitor cameras exist? It just feels very uncomfortable to think that that this guy was monitoring us.
