The members of this team monitor phone calls for quality all day long and are held to high standards as far as the number of calls they must monitor. Any ideas on how to boost morale, and keep people from getting burnt out?

Black people are treated far better than whites at my job. And most of them SUCK at their jobs (meaning..they don't show up half the time, don't do their work, sit around chatting, **** stuff up). Yet they never get reprimanded EVER. If I do one tiny thing wrong I get yelled at. I'm a great employee who never calls off, never slacks off, and pays close attention to my work. Can I sue my stupid employer? It is technically a violation of Title VII. I'm definitely not the only person who has noticed this either.

I am going back to college for my accounting degree. While I am still in School, I think it is a good idea to have a job in accounting related area such as accounts payable, etc. However, everytime I read the ads, all of them require experience. How do I get my experience if no one give me a chance to have experience?

Any company willing to give me a chance?

I am a fast learner.

Whenever I see dead animals on the road (for example cats, birds, foxes, rabbits, badgers etc) I am quite distressed. Now don't get me wrong, I am a hardend man, but I am a lover of all life and to see dead and squashed life is upsetting for me, so I wonder how it must make the child feel also.

My husband's job has him "on-call" to answer questions over the phone. His work hours are swing and lately, they have been calling often (about once a day) - during day hours and late night hours. All was fine until over the weekend, when he let his phone go to voice mail because we were in a family situation and he did not want to be disturbed. They mentioned that he needed to answer his phone. This morning his supervisor called at 10 am, while my husband was sleeping, and he let it go to voicemail. His supervisor then called our home phone to get through.

Hubby's position is: he is not being compensated to be "on-call" even to answer phone questions and while a few phone calls during the week is fine; it is starting to be a daily issue; and a bigger issue if he is busy and cannot get to the phone.

This is a good job with decent pay and good benefits; but the price of this phone is becoming more than what we bargained for!

I have an entry level position and I want to spend time with someone in management and pick her brain. I thought I'd invite her to "do lunch" and talk about her work, etc. Keep in mind this is a professional thing, and not a date or anything like that. Am I expected to pay, or is the bill split? Thanks! (we work at a radio station)

I just started working for an employment agency. I want to work temporary to permanent (to be sure I like the environment and people). I am looking for legal secretary positions. When I push for a larger hourly rate, I usually get it, making me think the agency must be making alot of money from this. I am going on an interview on Thursday, and I was told to absolutely not discuss salary or benefits with the representatiave from that law firm. If I am to stay there past temporary then I want to be able to ask about reviews for merit raises and vacation/sick-day benefits. If I don't know this stuff, how do I know that I even want to work there? My objective is to find a permanent place, so I need to know some info about the temporary position. Thanks so much for any insight you can offer. I am new to this.

Recently my superior got promoted. There are two of us who would want the job internally and they say they do want to promote one of us into the vacant position. But my boss said to me today that they are going to split some of the duties between us and then decide in 12 months which of us should get the job. My boss says this is because he doesn't think either of us has the experience to do the job. Yet last year when my superior was working out of the department I was the one who ended up taking on most of his duties (without any extra pay or recognition) and even at the moment I end up dealing with a lot of the rubbish that should end up being my superiors job if he's not around or too busy to deal with it. I think without a clear superior its going to be impossible for people outside our department to know who they should be talking to when they need something done which is esential for what we do. Am I right to be p***** off?

I was working for a company full of bad people to the extent that i had to quit. How can I find another job knowing that companies check references and run background checks.

Would my bad relationship with my supervisor and his ugly buddies going to stand in the way of my career ? Do companies check with previous employers without the consent of the candidate ? I know that it is illigal to do that but they might do it unofficially. Any ideas ?
