Business & Finance - 26 August 2007

I have been working at my job for 2 1/2 years (3 in Nov.). About a year ago we got a new boss. He didn't get along with our main supervisor (who was extremely popular), and drover her out of the company. Everyone was depressed and sad.

Most of us had no choice but to hang in there. I wasn't in a position to change jobs. I have done everything possible to be a good and outstanding employee. My reviews up to this point have been good.

The boss has always been fairly friendly towards me, and has complimented my work on occassion. However, all of the sudden his attitude towards me has shifted. He is now critical of me, and brings up a host of issues that he claims he has let me "slide on". I am baffled. My coworkers have even noticed and asked what is going on.

I'm no longer invited to meetings, lunches, and other functions. Some of my coworkers also seem to shy away from me. What's going on...should I look for another job?

I live in Nebraska and I recently moved out of my first apartment. It was a somewhat crappy apartment when I moved in. When I moved out, I was given an outrageous bill that topped over $600. Examples of the charges: Shower/Tub Track- $55, Blinds- $14. Ironically, I worked for a cleaning company and cleaned the entire apartment myself. Even if it was dirty, I know that it does not take that much money to clean it. I wrote them a letter and they knocked down the prices to just under $500, but I feel that is way too much. I really need help with this situation because I feel taken advantage of. Thank you.

I called up a credit card company whose card got sent to me with my name on it, and wanted them to activate so i recorded my verbal signature over the phone to have the card activated and called costumer support who said they needed my bank account information to activate the card...I never gave them my account information and the card doesn't work, but does that mean i have an active account with them and liable for fees and such??? Or does it mean i have an inactive account if the card doesn't work and not liable for fees?? How do i contact them? They sent me the card, and it only has an activation number on it and i've been trying to find them online but can't find a costumer service number...It's with 1 First National Card.

I'm 22 soon to be 23, and after searching and searching and waiting I've finally found an idea, that i'm comfortable and capable of doing.

Im doing school during the year, but in the summer of 2008, I want to implement the business. I plan on traveling to events throughout the midwest operating concessions. I think that beer has the best profit potentional. Sure it's not a million dollar idea, but I think I can see an excellent return on my investment maybe 75-200%. My goal would be to make 15k to bank for the summer. I know all the things I must get like business license, and temp beer license etc.

Is my goal of 15k for maybe 5 events a month for umm..3 months feasible?

On my application for a low income apartments it asks: " In your opinion, what is cooperative housing?" I have no idea what to write, but I really need this apartment. Please don't give me some long Wikipedia version. I need something short & sweet 2 write on the application. They don't give you a whole lot of space.

I juste completed a very simple website about a great financial idea that I developed this year. I was wondering what random strangers think of it. The site is www.economicfuture.org. I'm curious if you think the way I put the idea is easy to understand and if you are able to understand the idea, what you think of it?

The letter was a complaint about this staff member, and of a confidential nature. My query is whether in a business situation this is covered by law or employment contract. Opening mail is part of her job, but reading mail out to non-addressed people is not.
