Is the pay good? Is it easy work? Are the hours usually good? What about being independant, is it tough?

I'm in retail, but I'm talking more about a commission-based sales-type job, where you go and talk to people......an account rep. sort of thing. Also, I'm looking for info. on what it's like having that sort of job--I'm somewhat apprehensive about a job without a lot of guaranteed income, that is more dependent on commission.

The managment said that everyone who got this increase and is not part of the new permanent position will now lose the 5% increase they recieved years ago. Is this legal to garnish wages like this now that a "new" position has been created?

...he will shed his skin soon and reveal himself as some form of Satan in the flesh? Or perhaps I am mistaken, and there will be strippers and a keg in the office when I get here revealing a gross misunderstanding?

A number of people applied in house for a job interview but only external applicants were seen.. I asked if I could have reasons why I did not receive an interview in writing. I have been told that they might explain verbally but I want something written because I and some of my colleauges think a detailed criteria was not followed and the policy of our employer (school) is not to allow internal people to progress.

I was pushed out of my last job because of my age. However, I was paid severance pay of 6 weeks; I think this was for my boss to cover himself legally. I have applied for at least 300 jobs and still no job. I was not asked why I was quitting my job, and I did not put the reason in my resignation letter. On my Human Resources form I put the reason as opportunity for learning & advancement. When asked in an interview why I left, I give that reason because in my last conversation with my boss before quitting I reminded him that in my initial interview he said there would be promotion possibilities. He said he did not say that. I don't know what he is saying when he is called as a reference for me. I did a great job which was reflected on my reviews. I have had at least 15 interviews and have applied for at least 250 jobs, but still no job. I am a very fit 62 year old; 118 lbs, in great shape physically and mentally; continually wanting to learn new things. Please help!!!

I'm feeling trapped. My boss has a problem with me and I think the best thing to do would be to change jobs but I've been looking for a while and can't find anything at this level. I'd be willing to take a pay cut but just can't afford to take too much of a cut . I think she'd like to get rid of me but it's not so easy because I've had a very good reputation with her boss and peers. Some of the things she's trying to implement are going to be detrimental to our office and work (and staff) and I've voiced my concerns and because of this she has told me exactly what she thinks of me and it's all very negative. She is a pretty ruthless woman and I see myself being isolated with my reputation rapidly going downhill. As she also has (I think) a good reputation with her peers and her boss I am reluctant to bring my so-called 'negativity' to their attention. Our HR dept also report to her.

My husband has worked for the local hospital authority for 30yrs.For the last 6months he has been off sick on full pay, he is 56 and the occupational docter supported is application for early retirement.When is boss knew that the forms had gone into the pension people he called John for a meeting.There and then he offered J to finish that week 5thAugust on 3 months pay, holiday pay and full pension package.J agreed, personnel were there also,and my husband felt better than he had for months.
Today he received a letter from the pension office saying his request for retirement was refused. As he is receiving treatment for stress and depression they say he can get better and must work until he is 60.Now as far as his boss is concerned J has left the hospital.Is he still employed, surely personnel should have found out these things.He is so stressed and upset he has gone to bed. Can someone advise please.

I have a second interview at a local bank tomorrow. Before I was asked to come in for the first interview they asked me the MINIMUM salary for me to consider a change in careers. I responded with $35K. I just researched the median salaries for professionals in this industry. My research shows that the median salary ranges from $42-$45K. If I recieve an offer how do I negotiate my salary?
