I am working at a restaurant for about 1 month and half.
My salary was $5.50 and my tip was 20% at first.
Now my tip goes up to 70% and get 20$ or so by cash (it is tips), but my salary went down to $4.00.

My manager said I am still at trainning, so my salary is low.

I never worked anywhere that after i work , my salary goes down.

Is this normal sysytem for a restaurant for a server??

Please give me your comment about this..

when looking for a new job, what would you look for, considering the slow down or soft landing of the economy. In case of a recession, what are the things to look for?

Me and my wife just touched down in Oklahoma City becuase my friend said housing and jobs were better in Oklahoma City and he could assist us in getting housing. Now I find out we can only stay two weeks before a criminl background will keep me from being on his lease.

I was wondering if anybody either in Oklahoma City or knowing about Oklahoma city knew any jobs in the city that don't worry about past felonies and/ or don't do background checks; and any apartment complexes that do not do background checks in this area. If there is a way around any of these problems in the state of Oklahoma that would be greatly appreciated as well.

I have asked my boss for vacation pay since he is retiring. I have 8 days left. I get paid on the 1st and 15th and it is salary,always the same. Is it legal that he breaks up my remaining days by 30 days. I do not work 30 days a month. I work 22 days. For example I get paid 1600.00 a month, he divided that by 30 and then multiplied that by the 8 remaining days. It came out to 426.33. that is less than I would usually make. I would make more by taking my vacation.please help.

I was told I was fired for "insubordination" for not following the chain of command. I had made many attempts to meet with my immediate supervisor concerning problems, no luck. I then went to his supervisor about my complaints, and that I was concerned being setup and would be fired. Was told by him that it was ok to come to him, that my supervisor had no right to be mad, that my job was secure and that we would meet (all 3 of us) to resolve the issues. We did, but my supervisor walked out after his supervisor told him we were staying together until everything was talked about and resolved. I did not contact his supervisor any more. Was called by my supervisor to meet with him and then he fired me. When I questioned being insubordinate about what, he stated because of emails I had sent to my supervisor's supervisor and did not follow chain. I asked to see emails stated he did not have or know anything about them.he was told by management to terminate, I did not send any emails.

Hi all,

Here's the scenario: a salaried teacher needs to find a substitute. They have to pay the substitute out of their own pocket. Is this illegal or only unethical?

Imho, I think it is both, as the the substitute's wages would be untaxed, and the teacher would be paying with post-tax dollars.

I have a baby, and my husband and I are currently both working. My parents have been babysitting, but since my mom became manager at work she's there all the time...and my dad may be going back to work due to financial needs. This puts me in a predicament, as we cannot all schedule our hours around each other to make sure that someone is there with my baby at all times. Therefore, I am going to need to quit my job to be a stay-at-home mom. I still need to work, however, or we'll be in a tough spot. Does anybody have any ideas or know of a legitimate business that has openings where a person can work from home? I see all the time ads and such for stay-at-home moms who start their own business and everything, but I don't even have the funds for that. I'm looking for a company job which would allow me to work from home on the computer or answering phones (I could get a cell phone to use as a business phone) or anything like that. I am in desperate need of advice. Can anyone help?

I am looking into schooling for paralegals. When I received the information, it was for legal secretary. I thought it was the same thing, until I saw a reference to being an assistant to a paralegal as a job option. What is the difference and is it worth it to go for legal secretary as a career option, as opposed to a paralegal? Thanks!

I got a job offer for 60K/yr as a logistics analyst in south NJ for Sony. I had been laid off 6 mos. back, but after looking for work for a while I kinda gave up and got myself admitted into the Masters in Accounting program at UT Austin. Now after 1 month into my new program one of the companies I had interviewed 40 days back finally offerre me 60K for a job. I really like Austin and and doing OK in the accounting program. I feel that if I was in a finance/ accounting to begin with I wouldnt have to wait for so long to get another job. SO what do you all think...should I continue in the accounting masters or take up the job? I have substantial scholarships for the MAcc program plus its Austin, so thats a big draw. On the other hand the salary is 60K. WHich would be better in the long run?

P.S. I was terminated from my last consulting job working for a tiny company after just 2 mos.

I am a good person. Go beyond the call of duty. But still seem to get the butt end of deals at work. Why is this? I am a christian and never say those four letter words, lie, steal, cheat, or even gossip. I am not snobbish. I do all that is asked of me very flexable and never ask why. I just do it. I smile at everyone. Do I need to be more hateful or what? Help me. :(

Me and this other woman have been working at the same company for approximately the same amount of time. We work in different departments but are both entry level and make the same amount of money. She is often gone for various reasons, and I have to do her job for her while she is out. When I am out, which is rarely as it is, she does not do my job. Also, even when she is at work, I have to go and help her complete her work so it will be done on time. I am essentially trained to do both jobs now and do the work of two people but we still make the same amount. Is this a good basis to ask for a raise?

This summer I worked at a Starbucks licensed store. I really loved it, so I decided to apply at the new SB's that's getting ready to open. They gave me an interview and then a 2nd interview, but then they didn't call me. I thought it went well. My 1st cousin works at Starbucks + she talked to the district manager + she said she would hire me. Does anyone have any ideas why she didn't call me?
