Any store really. I used to work at Lowes and the morning meetings were always about trying to sell more than the other Lowes stores in surrounding districts. They're the same company so why are the same stores competing against each other?

Worked at my job for 12 years and my boss wants to take our Paid Time Off Away! He states that we abuse it. We get 216 hours, if you worked more than five years here. In the policy manuel it states that we get this, but it also states that he as the right to change. Is there a law that states he has to give us Paid Time Off? Or does he have the right not to offer! Its a Family Business.

We are refinancing the house, and thought, why don't we take out 25k or so (or whatever the max is) and make some interest on it? Thing is, we plan to move, sell, and (most importantly) buy another place in just over a year. So we have to be able to retrieve our money and interest at that time.

What are our options? I have heard of CDs and money market accounts; it looks like if we went with one of those, we'd earn around 5%. That's only like a thousand dollars profit. Aside from upgrades to the home, are there other options that are more profitable? (I need guaranteed options; we can't "gamble" with this money).

Thank you for your time and expertise!

What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happend to you at work??

The most embarrasing thing for me was at my old job where I worked at the front desk of a luxury hotel and I was trying on uniforms and I found one that fit me. Unfortunately I didn't realize the pants had a hole in them...in the butt region no less. So I walked out into the lobby and people were looking at me and snickering till finally a coworker came up to me and whispered.."You have a hole in your pants and you are definately wearing a thong" My face turned bright red and I quickly ran to the uniform room...oh boy what a day..

Lets see your stories!! Best one gets 10 points

I worked for them for 6 weeks and according to what they told me I was doing a good job. They kept making excuses for why I wasn't getting a paycheck from them. Last night I was supposed to get a direct deposit as I was 2 weeks ago. I asked my boss in email and cc: the accountant why I haven't been paid anything at all after 6 weeks. He said in another week I'd get paid. I wrote back very politely that I had been there for 6 weeks, received no pay yet, and on top of that I have loaned the company money when they sent me to buy computer memory and told me to pay and expense it, so for my 6 weeks of effort I am -$250 right now. The accountant complained to the owner that I was asking for my money and he was having a bad day or whatever and said I'm fired. I passed up some other good opportunities to take this job.

I live in WI which is an employment at will state, but aren't I entitled to some sort of compensation beyond whatever I should have gotted paid for the hours I worked?

Doctors premiums rates are going sky-high for malpractice insurance. Some say it is due to the increase in frivilous lawsuits and others that the insurers invested poorly. Some doctors are working without insuracne and other are longer performing the high-risk surguries that may save your life. Think of youself as the patient - what should be done?

Would that be considered as having experience and being elligable for employement? I've only recently immigrated to this country, three months to be presice. Whereever I apply, they keep asking for experience, working in this country which I dont have because nobody wants to hire me, for lack of experience. Then how am I supposed to get experience if they dont hire me? This sucks!

I've been in the US for 7 years, I still don't understand why American like to give tips for almost anything. For example, go to a restaurant, customers need to pay their dishes + taxes + tips. It's crazy. The restaurant should pay the waiter to serve customers. Why customers need to pay extra for it? Someone may say waiter earns a little; however, it's not true. A full time waiter can earn more than $3000 a month. The waiter just needs to bring dishes and asks how you feel whatever. Many people pay tips in cash, so they don't even need to pay taxes for the tips. Why people want to go to colleges? Want to make money just find a waiter job. Bartenders can make even more.

What do you think about it?
