Careers & Employment - November 2006

My current employer has posted an opening for my current position. The starting salary listed is just over $4,000 more than I currently make. Some of my friends in the office have also let me know that they don't not make as much as is currently advertised as the starting salary. One these fellow employees is actually one step above me in the "food chain" I find it appalling that someone off the street is making more than I am and I have been there for two years. I just want to know if I have any recourse.

In DC, supervisors were emailing and discussing employee attendance probs (and other probs) with a peer of the "problem" employee; additionally, they were discussing FMLA issues. Is this legal? "Problem" employee terminated, in part due to hostile peer intentionally creating negative focus, in part, employee broke lateness rule. Third supervisor joined in, calling "problem" employee a liar, among other things. Emails are archived and could be retrieved as proof of hostility.

Please, read the follow-up letter below and express your opinions. If you see any grammar/spelling mistakes or if you simply don't like my letter, then please don't be afraid to tell me how it is. Thank You!

Dear [Person I interviewed with/HR],

I would like to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to interview for the Application Processor position with [Name] and the Case Manager position with [Name]. I have learned alot of new things about [Company Name].

Through my experience and training I've gained many skills, as well as an understanding of office administration, data entry, and dealing with the general public. I have worked five years in various positions from Front Desk Receptionist to Office Administrator. I think my training and experience would compliment either position you have offered to me.

Again, thank you for your hospitality during my visits and for all your efforts to arrange my visits. I look forward to hear from you.

Sincerely,


Jessica

TSA seems pretty hard up to keep their screening stations staffed. There are newspaper ads, job fairs going on...pretty serious hiring push it seems
I'm wondering, are these PT screener jobs total dead end positions? could you maybe move to full time or supervisor roles if you did a good job and hung around for a while? I'm interested in TSA and homeland security jobs and seeing how so many other federal positions seem to take forever to hear back on/get hired I was thinking of doing a screener job in the meantime. what do you think?

A girl at work ( she is the owner/boss's daughter ).
She is always finding something to pick on me or find something that I have made a mistake on.
She really gets on my nerves. I cut my hair she cuts her hair, I get braces & she has to go get a mouth piece so that she doesn't grind her teeth at night & then she has to go get braces for her son. The other day at lunch I nelt down to get my lunch out of the refrigerator & she says very loudly " You need to tuck your tag in from your underwear because there could be a wierd man out on the road " The tag was hanging out but she could have said something to me descretly & not with her loud mouth!! I had changed the password on my computer & she couldn't get on my computer, ( which she has no reason to be on it ) well she tells me "My password is 23432 if you need to ever get on it.
My password is not a secret" I just wanted to tell her to go F*** herself. OH SHE MAKES ME SO MAD!!!
Give me some advise? Because I am thinking of quittin

My husband was laid off a few months back. His employer told him that he would be rehired around the first of the year of 2007, and when he applied for unemployment compensation he had to report this so that he didn't have to fill out anything on prospective employers on his vouchers. He was told by Workforce Development that this wasn't necessary when he was given a rehire date.

Now, his previous employer is trying to renege, saying that they may not rehire him. If my husband had known this to begin with, then he would have been looking into finding another job during this time, rather than waiting around for the date he was told he would be rehired.

So my question is: does his employer have to carry out this agreement of rehire, or is my husband essentially SOL? We live in Indiana, if that helps any, and Indiana is considered an "at-will" employment state. Is there really anything that he can do? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
