Business & Finance - 4 December 2006

I am kind of in a tight spot financially and one of my friends told me to write a letter describing my situation. At the end of this letter I should ask for $1-$5 to be sent to my p.o. box to help out. Not only does this seem extremely pathetic to me, and I doubt anyone will actually do it, is it even legal? If it works it could definatly help out.

I was recently fired from a job due to a schedule conflict. My boss text messaged me today and asked for my voice mail password so he could check it. I sent him what I thought for sure to be the password, and he messaged me back telling me it was incorrect.

He says that since he tried the password three times but it did not work, the system is locked and he has to have a technician come out to fix it - and it is going to cost $50. He is saying that he's going to deduct this amount from my last paycheck.

Is this legal for him to do, when it is his own equipment and he did not ask me to write my password down before I left or even when I first registered my voicemail? Any advice on how I can stop this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm thinking of starting a coffee shop in a Seattle neighborhood that is your basic espresso, pastries, and wifi sort of setup. I'm just in the exploratory phase and am trying to get some raw numbers to work out the scale of the enterprise. Primary amongst the numbers I need is either the gross take of an average coffee shop in Seattle WA or the net profit for any given period. Thanks.

I was told that I was "being let go" from a job, but found out that I am eligible for unemployment. However, the practice owner was not comfortable with providing me with a reference for future employers. It's not like they were down-sizing or anything, but I heard that if you're fired, you aren't eligible for unemployment...

I report to an immediate supervisor, but am not sure who I should give my resignation letter to. Should I give it to my immediate supervisor or to the president of the company?

We are a small company, about fifty employees. How much notice should I give? And how do I get recommendation letters before I leave?

Thank you.

I Just Got A Credit Card With a $300 limit. I am 18. I also applied for another one (with my bank) earlier. Should I keep them both? I have heard that a lot of people use two credit cards. Also if I don't use the card am I charged anything for having it?

Thanks!
