Often times called account aggregator services. At wells, I use to be able to check my current balances, amount due, and due date of all my loans, creditcards, checking accounts, and retirement accounts all on one page. In addition, the balances would update automatically I didn't need to go to any other companies website. Balancing my checkbook was so easy!! Gosh I really want a service like this again

With MSMoney I have to manually change the balances every month. I don't want anything like that.

i was put in charge of planning a christmas parade float with two other associates at work. my wife is a designer and wanted to help out and so i asked her to the meeting. one of the ladies didn't object to me personally and afterwards went to my boss and complained so i was hauled in the office and asked why my wife was at the meeting.

is this a faux pas for business? now i feel bad at having to tell my wife she can't help with this, but there are no guidelines or policies.

what do you think?

I went back to school for a new career, got great grades, and a great job. Unfortunately, I wasn't as good at the job, as I was at school. In less than 6 months I have been forced to resign. I've called up a few staffing agencies who said they need at least one year of on the job experience, and none of my contacts are hiring.

I have this nagging feeling that I might not be cut out to work in the medical field, but don't know who will hired someone whose about to switch careers for the 2nd time in 4 years. At the same time I've never been fired before and doubt i can get another job in my current field locally, especiallysince it was my mistakes that lead to my situation.

I'm thinking of trying to get into sales, but is this just a panicky career move? help!

2 weeks ago I was recruited by a financial services company to manage a service centre in the UK. The centre has been open for 3 yrs and has been losing a lot of money. My job is to find out why and to fix it quickly.

I have found is that the centre was being run by the staff not the managers. The staff were used to coming in every day and selecting which parts of their jobs they want to do and only doing those.

In addition the staff (who are largely young, inexperienced and recruited into entry-level clerical and admin roles) have been led to believe by the prev. manager that they are professional consultants. They are not qualified to be consultants and there is not a role for a team of consultants so training them up is not an option.

The business needs them to do the roles they were employed to do. I am getting a lot of staff resistance to the changes as they r 'better than having to do repetitive menial tasks every day'.

Any advice on how to handle this situation?

My boss seems to angry about everything that I do. I just started here and it makes me really nervis. I don't want to loose my job but I don't know what to do. I pay attention and do what I'm told, but he gets mad when I don't finish what someone else starts. My manager sent a fax while I was at lunch, that didn't go through. He dropped it on my desk, and said "I'm pretty sure this didn't go through" then went over to my manager and started whispering. I'll I heard was, "If I'm not paying attention, who is". What should I do.
