Careers & Employment - November 2006

My employers take out the amount of money short that day out of our wages, as shift leaders if though there are 2-5 people on the drawer that day. Is this legal?

I have recently been treated horribly by a staff member of a pizza place. I called in a delivery order for a pizza (giving my name, address, and credit card number), then I got a call back 15 minutes later by the person that took my order, who said that they will not deliver to me b/c "I" called repeatedly and harrassed them. She continued by cursing at me. I went to the restaraunt to request copies of my address and credit card information, and was greeted by incredibly rude, accusational behavior. The only reason they believe I am to blame is because I am the last person that called and I apparently sound like the harrasser (the harrasser had callerID blocked).

All I want is an apology. Owner refuses to fix the situation, despite my sumbission of a letter with phone records attached, proving that I made no harrassing calls. They refuse to force her to apologize. Therefore, I am launching an anti-Pizza Place campaign, w/ newspaper ads, flyers, and human rights grievances.

A week after my interview I was offered the job over the phone $50,000. I was hoping for $55,000. First off, is it likely he will go up that high? Also, what number should I throw out when I call him back to negotiate, $55,000? $57,500? $60,000?

It seems that women in healthcare are more interested in tearing others down than building them up. It's easier to point out others problems than to help with solutions or face one's own problems. I am a female nurse, but even when I worked it finance, I found it more difficult to work for another female. To me, men are more straight forward and women are more emotional and devious. I grew up with 4 brothers, who all excel in their fields. I can't help but feel if I were a man, it would be different for me. But even in the nursing fields, women can be harsh to male nurses.

I'm going to university. (I'm currently at 12th grade, senior)
To be a LEGO designer, I think I should take math or physics.
and maybe some "design" courses.

I don't know why I'm thinking this way.
I mean... I don't know what to do to be a lego designer.
Won't you help me? thanks :)

My employer has recently begun monthly mandatory meetings which I cannot attend b/c M-F I have another job. I work in healthcare as a CNA and I believe that I am required to attend six inservices yearly (I could be wrong on this point) The only alternative is to attend one of these hour long meeting while I am at the job in question. This is not always possible, we are often short staffed and removing an employee from the floor is impractical for resident care. When I voiced this concern in the last meeting I was asked to stay after> I posed an alternative solution that if they could provide me with the paperwork from each meeting then I would be able to read, sign that I read it and be counted as attending. This idea was shot down and the supervior then asked me how old I was (I refused to answer). The meeting ended with them stating that any issues with quality care were my problem and if I did not attend the meetings I would be written up or fired. What should I do from here?

Believe it or not, my dream job is to be a Regional Manager of a Wal-Mart. Sounds weird, considering that takes a lot of responsibility and Wal-Mart isn't in the the best of positions right now. However, I have this assignment for my class and I have to know what are the steps towards the job of your choice. So I was curious, does anyone know the requirements of being a regional manager of a Wal-Mart. It'd also be nice if you could share your Regional Manager experience with me too.

I'm considering joining the army after high school for money for college. Before I make any decisions, I have some questions I hope you can answer.

> How much money will I get and how long do I have to serve?

> Does it make any difference because I'm a girl? Will there be anything I can/can't do?

> I'm kind of a wuss. I don't mind being yelled at or called a maggot, I mean physically. But I'm not opposed to getting in shape or training for it either.

> I'm not opposed to this either, but for my mother's sake, what are my chances of going to Iraq (etc.)?

> I graduate in May of 2008, but I don't turn 18 until September 2008. Will this cause any problems? (I'm thinking it will)

> Is it worth my time?

Thank you SO much for any answer you can provide me with. I want to go to medical school (preferrably University of Chicago) and I know I'm going to need lots of money.

Thanks again!
