Business & Finance - 3 September 2007

I am having a problem at work with my boss. She is also rude to me but latley she has become worse also I submitted a vacation request for around christmas at which she told me she would not approve because a transfer employee will be in our office soon and she knows that she has childern ( I do not have any kids) and she will probably want the time off. She also told another empolyee ( not a manager) that she wanted me gone and that things would be better if I found another job and that she was ready to fire me.
This is coming from my boss that is always calling in and documenting on her time. Taking vacations days that she does not have, etc. For the past 3 months I have produced more production then her and the other agent in the office. I always do what she asks. I do get a little smart with her when she gets rude with me but, I do not see why I should let her walk all over me and treat me like I am nothing. Need advice. Help Please!!

I own a house that I would normally charge someone $1300-1400 rent to live in. If I live in it and get a roommate, how much should I charge her?

I am buying a home from Ryland Homes and they keep delaying the completion of it. Is it too late to back out? More specifically, I signed all of the paperwork and they already have $6000 of my money (retainer and other fees). They keep telling me to have my 20% down payment ready, but they keeping changing the finish date. They say that if I back out now, I will lose the $6000. What options do I have...or am I at thier mercy?

My organization (where I am pretty much the most senior staffer) is going through an Executive Transition after a very difficult couple of years. I was often at odds with my former boss, though he always respected me, and virtually NO ONE he worked with was happy with him. So it's been an emotional ride and I think my NGO has a chance for new possibilities and I want it to go well. How do I make sure that things start out well with the new boss?

I have a lot of old debt from a divorce over six years ago. I was able to delete a lot of it but only from one reporting agency. I'd like to clear up all three reports but when I visit their individual sites, I get offers to sign up for a service.
There has to be a way I can do this on my own. I'd really just like the old and inaccurate items removed and start working to rectify the rest.

Hi, I just started a new job where we get paid every two weeks.
The reason I left me previous employment was because money was tight and I needed to make more money.

Ok, my question is, if on my new job I get payed every two weeks, DOES that mean I have to wait a whole month to get my first paycheck? Because there has to be a waiting week on your first check, so if I get payed every two weeks does that I mean I won't get my first check until next month?

OR can I ask for a advance to pay my bills, because bills are not going to wait for the money to come in..Please answer my question..No smart remarks please..Thank You

I'm going to work for Wal-Mart D.C. making about 13/hr, which is not bad. They pay every two weeks, so I really don't want to make my bills suffer

Any suggestions

A couple of years ago I had an apt in California. A few months before the 12 month lease was coming to an end, I planned to move. Scouted for a new place, found one, made standard preparations. The 1st problem occurred when I was told that the lease was supposed to end a month early. I argued it, but apparently it was a 'typographical error' and they'd already found new tenants, so I couldn't stay the last month.

Second problem. I paid $650 for a security deposit. Now, I don't smoke, have no pets, and was rarely at home. I had no guests, parties, etc, and I meticulously cleaned up the apt before I left. But after I moved I got a letter saying that they were withholding the deposit because they were going to have to repaint and put in new carpet.

There was no damage to the carpet. As to the paint, there was a single, half-inch long scuff, by a chair that had brushed against the wall.

Isn't painting and carpet normal wear-and-tear? Was it really within their right to hold my deposit?

I purchased a timeshare in the "yellow" time from which i was told was basically used for trading for other destinations. Because our spot is at a beach in VA in November, i want to know if when i trade does it have to be for November somewhere also and if anyone has had a horrible time trading to get the places they choose! Please tell me your experiences.

Yeah, I know, people are saying, "Oh, these poor innocent people were duped" ad nauseum. What a bunch of BS. These people were JUST AS GREEDY AS THE WALL STREET COMPANIES THAT FUNDED THESE LOANS. They wanted that house no matter what. And they knew they could face higher payments in the future. But they went on the assumption that home prices would continue to rise 10+% a year and they could dump the house for a profit if they could no longer afford the payments. Soon we'll be subjected to all the Congressional hearings with all the droopy-eyed liberals like Chuckie Schumer blaming the Wall Street fatcats, etc. We'll get to watch Joey Biden listen to himself talk for hours on end. And make no mistake, these Wall Streets guys should NOT be bailed out. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing. They talk tough about "free-markets" and no government interference when times are good. But when the sh!t hits the fan, they want Mommy Government to bail their sorry asses out.

Hi Guys,

My family and I were in Virginia Beach, VA yesterday and were invited to a time share seminar by Ocean Front, Gold Key Resorts. Anyway, we gave in when they worked down a cheaper price and never told us anything about a loan. When wrapping the process up we completed lots of papers at rapid speed, the representative basically telling us what he thought we should know about each form, anyway one of the forms was a loan application which i noticed and outright asked if they were going to take a loan out on us which he firmly assured me they were not and they were only for filing purposed, naive of us i know but we trusted him. Now i get home and read that there is a semi hi interest rate attached so THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A LOAN DONE. Some of the paperwork we initialed made us sign off, without realizing it, that we understood everything when we signed. It was done yesterday, how many days to GET OUT AND HOW???????? HELP!!!!
