Careers & Employment - November 2006

I work for a Concrete Construction Company, as a Concrete Labor. We make double T's for big building's roof. When I applied for the job, the boss was taking me around to showing me about what stuff i would be doing if i took the job. He said there was a process in making these double T's. One day is to setup and the next day was when you pour the concrete into it. They pay 8.50 an hour, and there is about 10 guys in our crew that make the double t's. But now they(super.) push us to setup and pour concrete in the bed(the thing that is set to form thedouble t) all in one day. Which is suppose to be a two day process. So we are making about 5-6 double t's a day (M-F). and they get about 10-15 grand a piece for each one of them. But only pay us 8.50 an hour. And we have to do they 2day process all in one day. Does that seem fair?...It doesnt to me....Maybe im wrong, can someone give me advice.

I work in a small daycare, I'm a 21 year old white single mother, my daughter and I recently recieved flowers and a Teddy bear at work from a guy I met while at Traffic court. My supervisor said a very snide remark and ended the comment with being white trash. She not only said it once but repeated it to other caregivers at the Day care. She is my Supervisor/Boss so I feel I have no other option but to leave.

This is an odd situation but i wont to know what you all think.
At my work as most you get discretionary time after 90 days, and they determine how many days by how long it is from the end of the year then in jan you get all new ones. After a year at my work you also get 5 vacation days.
Here comes the question.
I was working at my job and had 3 DDays i used 2, i then got sick and had to resign for medical reasons for about 2 months. Then i was rehired. I was rehired about 3 months from my year mark. One of my Vps said that i have 2 Ddays because i'm counted as a 'new hire' and i start the way anyone started (so no vacation) at my time does, another VP said that i have no vacation days and no Ddays. I think I should get one or the other... your imput?

And shouldnt i at least get the 1 i never used before getting sick? the second vp is saying he remembers me using it, but i never did, and its not in our attendence system

i dont know whether to go to uni or not? i finshed my a-levels last year and started working as a trainee stock broker but hated it. i was considering a degree in money, banking and finance, im pretty indecicive (and extreemly bad at spelling) and dont think i could stick to a degree for 3 years. i know ill just drink it up for 3 years and more than likely fail. so maybee i should get a job. But what? i dont like sales, im good at maths and i want a career that offers job satisfaction and a decent wage. (just been offered a job as a trainee site engineer for 12k a year! good luck)
really havent got a clue what to do. is uni worth it? or what job should i get?

I work at a hotel (this is my one year anniversary) and trusted this frequent guest who told his friend he could get a cheap room under his name. He did. I only got the frequent guest's credit card over the phone to guarantee the reservation and his friend was to pay cash at check-out. Well, he didn't but he did leave. I think he was responsible for his friend so I charged the frequent guest's credit card. Do you think it could be disputed and won on his behalf? Do you think I should still work here?

On Friday I was offered a full time role in a call centre at Birmingham Midshires, and the start date is in January.

However, I am planning to go abroad for a holiday, with the rest of the family in mid February for about 3 weeks - ideally this would be made up of 2 weeks plus 1 week from the half term holidays from school.

Do you think it is a good idea to go in February considering the fact that I would have only started on this new job in January? Do you think my new employer would be sympathetic to my request for these holidays?

Is anyone aware of any laws regarding taking vacation?

Many Thanks

I was fired from the job, due to no fault of mine by my boss who is the son of the President of that organisation. My boss's father called up last Tuesday and said he wanted to meet. I said OK. He said he would call up on coming Saturday(18th November 2006) to fix up the exact time, but he didnot. What should i take it as? In case he calls up this Saturday shall i say Yes i will meet or shall i make up an excuse. Also if they ask me to come back shall i say YES or NO?
