I want to work 4 days each week and not 5. Another member of staff at the same company has been allowed to do this does this mean that they should also allow me to do the same

P.S. I think someone else at my work does it too. So does that make it more normal?

I am at a point were i want to leave, but am scared as well because i have a family to support, and most likely will not qualify for unemployment if i decide to go to school either. Can some one please help me with an opinion

I was considering going to college(possibly at the school of Visual Arts in NYC) to get a degree in photography. I am wondering if this would be a good decision. Are there any jobs for photographers nowadays? What kind of jobs could I obtain? I could use some advice from some professional photographers. Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm a junior administrator in my company, I noticed that most of the staff don't shutdown their computers when they leave the office premises despite to the memo posted about Energy Conservation. I wish to make a memo telling them to shutdown their computers after work without getting any bad impressions. Thank you

I find myself easily annoyed by people at work, and I have been written up for it in the past. I need suggestions on how to not be so annoyed when faced with people not using common sense, or miscommunications, or repeat e mails on the same issues. I try to do good everyday, but I inevitiably come off sounding annoyed and quite frankly "bitchy" Does anyone have anything that I can do to help??

This is two questions really. I'm going to hand in my notice soon, I have to give 4 weeks and the last week of that is Christmas.

I will be out of the country on annual leave that week. Can they exclude this from my notice period and ask me to come back after my holiday for another week?

If they are OK with me leaving at that time, will I be paid for the Christmas and New Year bank holidays if they fall within my notice period? If so, can they terminate my contract a week early to avoid this, since I'm not coming back after the 22nd Dec anyway, and just give me my remaining holiday pay instead?

I work for a company who relies on agency workers for support. I was recently involved in an accident with one of these temps. I have since refused to work with the guy again as during the accident he failed to and refused to assist me . My employer asked me to hand in a report of the accident, which i did. They handed a letter to me yesterday, in which they have laid the blame for the accident on me and have warned that if i refuse to work with the individual again then it will be seen as unacceptable.

the letter then goes on to inform me that the agency worker involved has taken legal advice regardin what could be seen as defamation of charectar and descrimination, though there are no grounds for this. I enjoy my job and always carry it out to the best of my ability and i am really worried that i am not being treated fairly. can anyone give me advice, i have three children who rely on my income.

do i have the right to refuse to work with someone i think a danger?

thanks.

I have the terrible misfortune of being on a cubicle that’s on the entrance. Where I work, there a whole area of cubicles of about 60 cubicles, and only one door. My cubicle happens to be in front of that door. I’m not facing the door, my back is facing the door, the first thing everyone sees when the walk by is my monitor screen in front of me. I HATE IT! I try to ignore it most of the time, but sometimes I just see on the reflection of my monitor how people just walk by paying close attention to whatever is on my screen. Sometimes people come to talk to people here, and wait by door, and they seem to have nothing better to do than to see what I’m doing. We don’t have a strict work environment, everyone gets e-mails with videos, and pictures, but I can’t ever see those like everyone else; I don’t have that luxury because people are constantly coming in and out looking at what’s on my screen. I’m actually a very good worker, sometimes I hate not even being able to take a 5-minute break because people are just keeping coming, and I have to look busy even though I’m doing all my work on schedule. I specially hate when people are eyeballing my personal e-mail.


What can I do?
