Business & Finance - 15 November 2007

I work at a call center only get 8 bucks an hour im going to school soon (college) and I need a job with this kind of flexibility, if not untill the end of the year for christmas and my moms birthday next year. the problem is We have do certain things and im getting docked for the most ridiculous things(beleive me when i say ridiculous)and I feel treated unfairly because its the same person each time docking me. when we have more people doing the same thing. Problem is I dont know what else to do. This is my first office job and i like it. I just hate the pressure when really we get paid below average pay for a NHD agent. I really am tired and stressed but I need money to go to school i had my job planed out now they threaten us more and more me as well because ive been here longer. i dont know what else to do. (only a certain amount of people get docked for certain things) even my coworkers supervisors think its ridiculous about some of us.

I went to interview the CEO of a PR firm for a business class. She was very kind, and even offered me an internship. I plan on sending her a thank you letter, but I am debating which method to use. Should I send her a typed, business-letter thanking her? Or should I buy a thank you card, and hand-write what I want to say?

I know the method of sending a "thank you" card depends on the industry, so I am leaning towards sending a hand-written letter in a card because it is Public Relations, which works on creating a good rapport. What do you guys think?

Do people who have money with them get their money out? I'm not talking about the one who hold stock in the actual company - the ones who hold stock in other companies through them?

I was traveling at 40 m.p.h. at a 45 mile zone,
a vehicle ran a stop sign and I hit him broadside, now their ins.co. wants me to accept $10,000 (since thats the coverage he supposedly had) on a vehicle I owe $21,000. They say I was 10% at fault since I saw the vehicle pull in front of me and that I could have avoided the accident, I had passengers including my wife, sister in law her 9 mos old baby and my 2 children ages 3 and 7 how is it possible to avoid hitting this vehicle without a rollover or worst? The bad part is that I had a lapse in coverage at the time (unknown at the time) what should I do? I believe the adjuster made a bad assessment of the accident fault investigation he claimed I was going faster than the speed limit, and that I did not use my horn. Can I get more from his Insurance Co. to pay for my car since they claimed it totaled or must I obtain an Attorney? Can anyone advise on this?

My sister & husband live in Nevada for 17 years. They got a letter from California say they owed taxes from when they worked in California over 17 years ago and they filed their taxes while there. Now they live in Nevada and have just found out that California has put a lean on their home in Nevada for $24000. They have not gotten an answer yet as to what can be done. One legal says show us proof you have lived in Nevada 17 years and CA can't do this. Then another one says yes CA can do this. They are in their 70's and want to move to a smaller house or a townhouse, because of aging, but can't sell the house because of the lean. Any answers out there....help please.

I wanted to use a song by an artist from the 70's early 80's in a 30 second commercial that I have to produce for my college class. Is it ok to use a song for a project even if it's not mine and I give credit in my project to the artist and NOT claim the song as my own?!?!?

Ok I was wondering if this was legal or not.

So i have been looking for a job now for about a month i got
a job with AMC movie theaters when they called me to setup
the interview they had told me I couldn’t have long hair,
piercings, or tattoos on my face, neck, or hands.
I don’t have any of these i do however have 3 tattoos on my forearms
a cross and two stars......so i went to the interview got the job everything seemed
good they asked me to come in a week later to pick up my uniform. So that would make
it 2 times I have talked with these people in person. After which I went in for training
while I was in training with the five other people they hired they told
me I wouldn’t be able to work there because of my tattoos but not before I was in the
meeting for 2 hours. The thing is there was a guy in there with long hair and 2 of the other people that got jobs had piercings but I was the only one too not get the job
Is this legal?

If the cash flow forecast suggests that Whitehouse crafts might require an overdraft at any time, what alternative actions could the management of Whitehouse crafts take that would avoid this situation? How does this illustrate the value of cash flow forecasting?

I just started waitressing. I'm not sure how the tips work. I was told to claim $4.50 for every hour I work. There have been days in which I had to claim all of my tips, and walked out with little more than five dollars in tips for the whole day. I'm so confused, because I don't know if I'll get the money backat the end of the year, or if I'm going to end up paying a percentage of it! how do the tax laws work in Michigan? what do I do if I don't break even or even make minimum wage! is my boss supposed to compensate me if my tips don't meet minimum wage! help! I'm not making any money! IM DYING HERE!!!

Looking at my credit scores they vary from company to company so I wondered if creditors look at a certain companies score more than the others because it is considered more relible.
