Business & Finance - 5 October 2006

Stress at work is a common problem. Poor Mgmt style or uninspired workers can result in disullusionment and low work energy. I work in a UK technical team, and in spite of our loyalty and hard work we do not receive any real rewards. Mgmt seems top heavy & there are very few examples passed down of good process. There are some decent people around so it is not all doom and gloom. I suspect frustration is rife amongst other parallel teams in the department but no one up top is ready to challenge the leadership styles and shake it up! Is the grass greener your side of the fence? What examples can you give of good leadership in your office that has made a difference. What articles or international lifestyle coaches have influenced you? Do you follow the principles of Anthony Robbins? What is the next Feng Shui that has given your office a new spirit? Do you feel Sir Terry Leahy of Tesco has got a motivated workforce. Has anyone got a tip from the book "Lean Thinking". Carp Diem

I pursued an advanced program during high school and graduated at sixteen (valedictorian). I'm currently seventeen and seeking a job. I will be attending university next year in California and need to start saving money for tuition. Optimally, I would like to earn $2000 a month. Since I’m a graduate and I’m seventeen; child labor laws do not apply to me. I'm willing to work up to 60 hours a week, as long as I can fulfill my goal. I am aware that employers have to provide pay and half once I surpass forty hours a week, so they maybe reluctant to hire me. However, if I do work sixty hours a week I could be paid $7.15 for the first forty hours and $10.73 for the subsequent twenty, which seems reasonable.
4 * (40X + 1.5(20X))=2000 70x=500 x=7.15 x=10.73
I don't know if I’m being foolishly optimistic because I’m not familiar with the American job market; I recently arrived from overseas. I live in eastern North Carolina and I was wondering if anyone could offer discerning advice.

My parents have a lot of trees on their property, and some of the limbs break and fall off during storms. They frequently fall on a neighbor's property. I was wondering if anybody knows who's legal responsibility it is to pay to clean them up. A source would be useful too.

I was in a contract for a brand new home when it was discovered that the exterior brick was sub-standard by a licensed real estate inspector hired by me. I was informed by the builder that the brick was made that way and was warrantied by the brick company. The builder neither agreed or disagreed that the brick was sub-standard but stated that he was not replacing all the brick. I refused to close and he agreed to return the earnest money. (I haven't seen it yet) I was then informed by the mortgage company that I am still responsible for the appraisal even though I'm not accepting the house. My question is shouldn't the builder have to pay for the appraisal since he was the one that defaulted on the contract?
