I have a friend who was recently fired from his job. He returned all company uniforms and tools. His employer is now with holding his last paycheck because the employer states that my friend still has uniforms that he has not returned.

I live in Ohio and the minimum wage is going up starting in January. I was at work the other day and my boss told me that since the minumum wage was increasing by 30% I would have to work 30% harder. A few days ago she told me that I better be worth minumum wage come Janurary. I work very hard and come in extra days and it's only (supposed to be) a part-time job. Was it right for her to say this?

Ok. I really need to get a job to help my family out. But i'm really shy and i freak out when i'm the center of attention. I hate giving public speaches or having to do something that anyone is judging me on.

I hate interviews. When they ask me what i want to do i have no idea what to say. I don't know what i want to go to school for. I have no idea what i want to be. Then they ask me how this job will help me and i don't know. They ask me what i like to do and theres nothing really because i'm too shy infront of people. All i do is listen to music and hang out with my friends.

Can anyone give me tips on how to deal with this or how to get over it. Would stress pills or some kind of medicine help me?Thanks

I am working in Software Company as programmer. The reason I believe this boss is incompetent are following

His interpersonal skills are very low he always behaves in condescending way with others rather than respecting them.
He is micromanager. He assigns tasks which are parts of a job rather than assigning job and supervising overall performance and correction if it is required.

When he faces many problems he can’t respond to customers in priority

I could identify above in my boss. I am not sure if I take his position I will do the same or not but working under him and being forced to obey his orders tearing me apart. Does anybody have any suggestion?
If he continues this way he wills definitely causing to close office. I have some work in my hand if I selected for his position these work definitely would be perished. Give me you suggestions.

Let me describe you details. This person to me is far to reach me in every scope you consider but he had the opportunity to made friendship with his boss earlier in time when he was subordinate and most probably reported to his boss lots of odds about my work. I must not of course it can be just my idea but I did my best to explain the situation fairly. His condescending attitude over other employees not excepting me really made me feel bad. Always there is a big question in my mind why do my general managers selecting such this person. One of them is very gentle toward me and always tries to make this person more bearable by not approving the behavior of this person and try to making me considering my profit in long run. But when this long run which my profit would consider there comes, I don’t know? I am working in Software Company and do programming. how to treat such this arrogant selfish manager?

It just seems like most bosses think they should critisize instead of build up even though most people respond to praise favorably.

I'm a teacher and even with my students, if I praise them for stepping out and trying something new or doing something creative, or just reading more books etc. they keep doing it because they are usually much more interested in me noticing their efforts than me even giving them a good grade. (Even though they ARE interested in the grade too, of course.) But if I criticize them harshly they're more likely to just close up or give up. So praise gets more out of them. Seems like adults are like that too. Agree or not? If you agree why do so many bosses use criticism instead of praise?

I just began working in a school w/ children w/ major disabilities in a self contained ABA class.
Unfortunatley, the schools philosophy doesnt match with what actually goes on. I feel uncomfortable BC of coworkers who are unusually critical & constantly on my case. They are negative and judgemental at all times. A coworker threatened to "jump" someone.
At the end of the day I'm mentally drained of my clarity 2 view the situation as a place where Im supposed 2 be learning new skills 2 work w/ children w/ Autism.
I love the kids, but all the 'other' stuff such as workplace democracy, the organizational behavior management, micromanagement & how the other "specialists" berate & criticize my work, etc. is bringing me down.
I'm forced to work with them however, and cant afford to quit right now. Im searching for a new job, but Im scared to switch jobs after only 3 months, & no other experience in this field. This will look so bad on my resume.Im still a student & need flexible hours.
