Careers & Employment - November 2006

My ex employer found out I was fiddling my overtime, and privately prosecuted me. The amount was £140, 200 Euros or $280. I was not sent to prison, but had to do 180 hours unpaid work, and repay the £140. I have since learnt that this is called an "unspent" conviction, and will not come off my record for 5 years. How can I tell any potential employer? If they dont ask thats kewl, but 99% do. Anybody got any ideas on how I should word it.
My boss was gay and kept coming on to me, but I rejected his advances, so he brought this "crime" to light as revenge.
I am also stuck for references. If anyone would give me a reference and owns a firm in Croydon, Sth London UK please email me at TheCroydonExperiance@hotmail.com.

This is a situation I hear from an intern in a lab at uc berkeley. This boss is a profesor. She micromanages, manipulates, threatens, insults, and harrass the students and people that works for and around her. Very similar to the sitcom tv show "the office", except it is serious. Students have approached the department head and he has had meetings with her about her conduct. It has subsided for a short time, but she is back to her old ways. They are afraid to do anything just because they need her for letter of rec for grad schools, med schools, jobs, etc... Any suggestions for what these people working in her lab should do?
Thanks in advance for my friends in this lab from hell.

The manager of a well reputed company in san jose, CA has a free baby-sitter *** supervisor. . Harrassing the employees, teasing them, passing dirty coments and ultimately getting them fired has become her hobby. Me and a lady X were the only two employees from one country in that big department . The lady X became the target of this supervisor. ( I sincerely very much regret to use the language, but these are the actual words stated to have been used by that supervisor) The solution to all her problems is to go to left or right cabin of senior officers and stretch her legs there. Spreadsing sex related rumers. She got fired.What kind of women she is. Some time I used to look at her. I became the target of the manager & she gave me from one single to 70 accounts. Although I sweared that there is nothing like that. I started having back pain & neck pain for 3 years. I have medical record. I resigned. Attorneys said I have no case. It is the case of general public. Please find solution

I take naps 2-3 times a week.
The longest I have slept is 5 hours. Oops.

I don't see how it's so bad.
Anyone else do it?

My question is am I to give my boss written notice that I may have to use FMLA in the future or do I wait to give notice until I need to use it?

I'm 25 and just got out of the navy. I'm about to start full time at a very prestigious hospital known nationwide. I cant find any part time positions doing what i do.....a medical assistant. I eventually want to go to medical school as soon as I'm done with undergrad in about 3 years or so being the age I am, I dont have time or semesters to waste going part time. But I'd hate to have to leave this job being the hospital that it is. Any advice on the likelihood of doing well in both going full time?? Anybody thats going through it or has been thru it??

today i was at working executing some test scripts when the president of my company came into my cube and asked me what i was working on. i blurted out for some reason (i just came out i couldn't control it), "don't worry, you greedy suit, how about you come back and ask after you wiped your a$s with all that money that i'm whoring out to you." and then he said (like a coward) "i earned my position! i have worked for 20 years so i could form a profitable company and have people work for me! how dare you insult me in such a manner!" then i was startled so i said, "you are greedy and don't deserve your money" then the asshole told me to leave his company and never come back. do i have a lawsuit? why does he have all the money when i have nothing? because i have nothing i deserve to be compensated.

I have been at my current place of employment for 5 years. In the past year I bid and got a job in a different department. I went from being in a team of 20 people down to 4. I am a grandmother, my new coworkers are almost 20 years younger than me. They all get along well, talk etc. However when I enter our area (all sit in one room, one shared phone) I get ignored. When they need to pass along information to me, instead of talking they instant message me.
My previous coworkers all tell me I am no longer my happy cheerful self. My hubby, children, and even previous coworkers hate to call me about anything in this new position as they all have said they are treated with a rude manner and are given very short curt answers.
I have talked to my boss various times and he has noticed this as well (so its not in my head).
So do you think I should stick it out....or start looking for another job elsewhere??
