I work at an insurance company as a receptionist. I'm going to school for something that has NOTHING to do with insurance, and I'm hoping to be doing what I'm going to school for by October of 2007. My boss just found out about me going to school and eventually leaving. Can he fire me for this?

I've never held a management position, but I was just offered one for a jewelry department at national retail store. I have a list of questions, if you can answer any from experience I'd so much appreciate it.

I'd like to get our team toghether for a short meeting to introduce myself, etc.. but there's really only one person working in jewelry at a time, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't arrange a meeting where they can clock in, would I have to stop in at different times for each employee, or perhaps introduce myself in writing and post it when I first start as 'jewelry sales coordinator'? I don't want to start things off in an improper way, I do want to talk to each person individually to get to know them. How about a meeting outside of work?
2. Best way to motivate employees?
3. Is it undesirable to become friends with team members? Read online that it's a good thing, but also read that it's not. What's your experience?

I'll post other ?'s under details. Thanks!

There have been numerous times when the job was quite different that what the agency had described. Wasn't my cup of tea at all. Seems like a shady practice. The latest example is that I was told I would be doing a filing job. Told me to dress business casual. Turns out that the agency sent me out to the wrong location. I wasted gas to find the right location and then when i got there it turned out that folks were filing in a 92 degree auto body shop garage? What the hell? Have you ever had a similar experience?

I have a good job. It pays well, the work is pretty easy, but I have a boss who never comes to work and expects me to carry all the load. I have been offered another job that pays a little better, but requires travel. I will have some (not all of them) expenses to pay out of pocket, but they will be tax deductable. I feel there is more of a career with the new job offer, but it is also more of a risk. I am 26 years old and really want to make a solid decision for my future. Help me choose, please!

I have been in the restaurant biz since I was 16. From kitchen to service, management to consulting, I have done it all. My children are in school now and playing sports, I would like to stop working late and on weekends. Income isn't a priority because if I worked less my wife's business could increase. I would like answers about jobs, employment agencies, head hunters etc. I am near the Dallas area and would like to stay in Texas.

I have taken a new job 6 months ago and have been going through and part of the interview process as I am adding some additional sales engineers. At my last company I believe the HR department did in fact perform a background check at least for employment and education. When I asked my new company about their policies regarding educational checks they told me they generally do not do them as they find it to time consuming and when they did do them they never found any discrepancies. Is this the norm with most employers?

I've went for my yearly review 2 years in a row and have asked for a raise. Both years I've been told that my salary plus my bonus is this so I'm making such and such a year. I've tried to explain that they need to look at my salary alone as the Bonus is simply that, money above and beyond my yearly salary.

The bottom line is I feel I've gotten a smaller raise than I deserve because of the Bonus + salary mindset.
