So I have an aunt who has been working as a housekeeper for a hotel chain for 23 years. She has never had problems or an altercation w/ employees, bad behavior, or problems w/ her supervisors, managers, etc. A new supervisor was assigned to her department about 6 months ago and she's pretty hostile. Last this supervisor was in a bad mood. After my aunt finished her rounds of cleaning over 22 rooms, the supervisor went to check the rooms and suggested a minor probs w/ the way the job was done. Called my aunt a "stupid B***C" and told her to get back to work. My aunt asked her to repeat herself and again she called her a "stupid B***C". In response my aunt called her and her whole family a B***C. A security guard who over heard them asked my aunt if she was okay...my aunt said "no, i'm not okay". The met with the GM and who also got cussed out by the supervisor and he fired on the spot. My aunt was asked to get back to work..she finished her rooms and on her way out (continued below)

I work at a small company and everyone is really self-sufficient. Even though the company is small, sometimes I feel useless and like no one needs my help. There are times when I can spend the entire afternoon doing nothing except surfing the web and e-mailing friends. Does anyone else feel this way? What can I do about it?

I recently applied online for a job with a large company. I'm a perfect fit for this job and I meet or exceed all their requirements. I'd like to take an additional step in order to make sure that they carefully consider me for this job. I'm thinking of snail mailing an additional copy of my resume. I've done some research online and have found the name and address of the company's recruiting managers in the local office.

My problem is that I'm not sure what to say in the cover letter to explain why I'm sending a paper copy of my resume to her. Below is the opening to the cover letter. Please keep in mind that I have several more paragraphs that go into detail regarding my qualifications.

"I recently applied online for the XYZ position within the XYZ group. I am sending you my resume and cover letter because I am a strong candidate for the position and I want to make sure that my qualifications are given careful consideration."

What do you think?

I have an asset (stock) that I don't want to liquidate and I need to be able to legally say that I don't personally own it on a particular day. But, I don't want to use a solution that requires tax fees. I also want this to be a legal transaction where I "gift" the asset and then revoke the gift. And, if you are concerned about ethics, the asset is for the benefit of the minor child.

I want to yell and scream at them, the idiots. This is two months ago I was approved a 3% raise and they owe me retro pay as well. They are firing people at every chance they get so I want to be diplomatic . . . but I also want my money.

Wife was fired from employment due to "personality issues" with supervisor. I understand the whole at-will employment scenario, and that there is probably no recourse despite the fact that this was non-job related, eventhough there had been no written notices or warnings or any documentation of malconduct in employee folder (or is there?)
My question is that the person who did the firing was a relative of the owner, but might not have been "officially" documented as an employee on payroll? Would this in any way affect this outcome if my wife had been fired by someone technically not an employee? This person is basically just a relative assisting in the office, although im sure they consulted with the owner (aka her brother)

I was just given a bonus of one-month's pay, and I noticed that they only withheld 7.65% as opposed to the normal 20+% that is withheld from my regular paychecks. What will this mean to me when tax season comes around?

What to do if your immediate supervisor a (captain) comments that you are on drugs? We all carry guns. I do not use drugs and if this continues i will (on my own) take a hair follicle,
blood and urine tests.
