Seems like almost every company that i've worked for has bosses or supervisors that are either complete idiots, biggots, or asssholes. This is after they rave to you about how they will provide you with the neccessary tools and resources to do your job, how they will help develop you along, and all those other B.S. But guess what? Turns out totally opposite every single time, and especially in the corporate world. Don't these fukking idiot supervisors know that the key to an effective teamwork environment lies in their desire to make the workers who do work hard feel welcomed? FUKKING CORPORATE SUPERVISOR CLOWNS !!! (Who out there feels the same way and agrees with me ?)

She doesn't know english and she didn't go to school- except maybe to 3rd grade in Mexico, She went to apply to Omni Hotels and kohls and she got a letter from both Companies telling her she doesnt qualify and she keeps asking me why she didnt qualitfy or what is the motiv for not hiring her??? Could you explain to me or her why wasn't she hired and could you recommend me or her what kind of jobs to apply for where she doesnt need english or an education. oh and for the last ten years shes been working at the same restraunt and they closed down so she cant find a job. If you could answer in spanish that would be great for her.

the company that I work for is holding a benefit for my son right now to raise money for his medical care. I just got a call today on another job offer that would allow me to work remotely from home. I would love to work from home and be able to be around my family more but I feel obligated to stay in the company that I work for due to the fact that they are putting so much effort into my family right now. Any advice?

So I was referred to a position by an individual that a close friend of mine knows. She told me to create a cover letter and resume and to address it to x person. The position she mentioned is not posted on the website of the company. How should I mention in my cover letter of how I heard about the position? Should I put through my friends acquaintance? Also, should I assume that she recommended me to the position? Thanks for your help!! =)

I've been offered a job almost 200 hundred miles away from home and it's tempting to take because the money's great, it'll get me valuable experience in the field I've just started out in and they company will pay for me to take a course leading to a further professional qualification.
The thing is, I have to start in just over a week if I do accept it which also means flat-hunting and tying up lose ends in my present job.
I met a man (through my current job) who is so wonderful & perfect and the way I feel around him is something I've never experienced before. It just feels like we were meant to be together. He's so funny, charming, sweet and a complete gentleman and we only just got together last week! He has gone abroad for the week (on important business) and knows about the job (which he has said if he were me he wouldn't take, that was before we got together) but I just can't decide if my career or lovelife is 2come 1st.He's currently studying part-time so can't move wiv me!

My work day starts at 7:50 and doesn't end until at least 5:00. I usually only take a 15 minute lunch and eat at my desk - and this is a good day. There are many days I work more than this.

Is it a standard thing in this day and age to only work from 9 to 5?

Please ignore question if you have nothing relevant to say about it. It's one of those things that sound too good to be true, but one is always curious anyhow.

I work at a call center & the head MGR is a total ******, he's always sitting behind everyone & watching them whenever he wants. If you ever look him in the eye he always finds something not so cool to say about u. At this place they're always looking for reasons to fire people.

I took a thumb-tack and placed it on an empty desk in a cubicle. It's one of his favorite spots to sit & watch people. There are no cameras showing the inside of the cubicle but there is 1 at each end of the isle, & this cubicle was in the center of the isle. So he got a little skeptical, people nearby laughed when he sat down. He brought someone out w/ him from a room, they were walking REALLY fast to the camera closet to try & see who did it. 10 min later, it was time to leave, the camera closet was closed, the guy was gone, the MGR said nothing to me. Just to be sure, I asked him to help me w/ something, he kindly did & didn't ask me about it or suspect me at all. I go back on Sunday, I'm a bit worried.

I am about to turn my computer off and will go back on line when I get into work at 9am. The person who manages to write something to inspire me to do a full days work, and feel motivated and buzzing for the day gets the 10 points. Tell me what inspires you, if you like! And yes, I already know its only 1 day til the weekend!! (It may help to know that its a day of writing and updating policies and procedures).

I always see these opportunities to buy a vending machine route. As the owner/operator, I guess I would maintain the machines and restock them. In return, I collect all the coins from purchases. Seems easy enough. What is the worst part of it?

Generally I'm a pretty big skeptic of junk mail & shoddy attempts at solicitation, but I have to say, the letter looks legit. How does this stuff work? Or am I just kidding myself and it's all a hoax?

Ok, here's the sitiation: I have this lazy slacker of a co-worker (of the same authority level), whose refusal to do work drives me crazy. My ability to do job properly depends on him doing HIS -- which he doesn't. I've been polite this whole time (he's been working here a couple of months) and I'm sick of asking (always sweetly/politely!) for him to do the same thing, over and over. I've asked him 3 or 4 or 5 times for certain things to get done... and they still don't happen. He also often ignores IM's over the computer. I've had it! I keep thinking about that whole double standard about women in the workplace: that if I'm "assertive," I'll be considered a *****.
A) It's seriously NOT in my nature to be rude or bitchy, and I don't want to be (don't even know how to be!) BUT
B) I feel like he has no respect for me b/c I'm too nice.
PLEASE NOTE: this guy is gay, so it's not a macho guy issue - just one of respect, and power dynamics/politics in the workplace. What to do?!!

I asked this question yesterday and it was resolved by a staffing manager of a staffing agency, but I need more info. I have 6 months of clerical experience working at the Federal reserve Bank and I like to know why some of the agencies are telling me to go out and interview and find my future position myself. Any ideas?
