Careers & Employment - December 2006

I was recently "let go" (their words) from a company, and I'm wondering if I was laid-off or fired.

I thought they were the same thing, but my friends said that it's laid-off if you are eligible collecting unemployment, fired if you're not. I am eligible for unemployment. And I was the only one whose job was terminated.

I work with these guys that are always picking on me. I will say "oh doesn't the rink look good?" and they will always say stuff like "oh you make our work look good.." or "where is your boyfriend? those guys are checking you out.." or they will run up to scare me, throw stuff at me, poke my back or sides, say sexual innuendos, laugh at me when they are all together, etc. They know I am a "good girl" and I don't do that kinda stuff. So, The more "flustered" I get the more they laugh. WHY?! One of them told me that I was "fun" to pick on. What makes a girl fun to pick on and others not? And why am I being teased??

I work at a Skating Rink and we are all in high school.

BTW--I am always pretty friendly and I smile and laugh a lot..so I like to have a good time, but I tell them to stop when it gets inappropriate. But I wonder why they would tease me constantly.

I am from a technical background and enjoy my current career in software development. However, I do not want to spend my entire career in a cubicle nor manageing other programmers. In know some companies have employees that look for emerging technologies and small companies to acquire. That sounds pretty cool. Does anyone know of any other technology related carrers or job titles/descriptions that require little to no programming?

I'm 25yrs old, I have a B.A in communications and work in my field of study. I'm happy but seems like something is missing. Deep inside me I feel an urge to apply to do a law degree. In your opinion, am I foolish to go back on the bench for another 3-4 years ? Has anybody ever done this ?

I was just hired as an Assistant Manager at a CVS/Pharmacy in California and I have no Management experience. I've only been a Supervisor once and that was at my most recent job. In that previous job I was making $10/hour...which was the highest paying job I've ever had. CVS/Pharmacy is going to pay me $42,000/year which they said breaks down to about $15.65/hour due to the 48 hour work-weeks. (Managers work four "10 hour" days and one "8 hour-overtime" day a week.) My question to all of you is....did I get screwed or is this fair pay? Considering that I'm in my early 20's and I have no Management experience...I would like to think that this is a great deal for me. But I can't help but wonder if I'm getting screwed...anyone got any feedback for me? Also, if any of you out there have worked at CVS/Pharmacy before or still do....how do you like it? Can you tell me what to expect? Is it gonna suck? I'm about to begin my training there and I'm curious. THANKS EVERYONE, I APPRECIATE IT!

Most of the surveys, etc. are supposedly free but then you have to select one or more products to try and give your credit card number. That is why I don't do those. I go through all of those lists, just to find that at the end of them, that I can not work or do the work, unless I purchase a product. How does a person avoid this? It all seems like a scam.

My best friend got a job as a personal assistant/secretary at a small company. The guy has two openings, and I am in desperate need of a job. However, after my best friend's first day at work, they went back to his place. You know. Well, my best friend and I are very open with each other, and we were mentioning a threesome (not seriously debating it, just mentioning it between ourselves) and I think she might have said something to him? It is after office hours and he just called to see if I wanted to come for an interview tonight. I don't want it to be awkward so I told him I could be there as early as 7am tomorrow morning. He said "if you are still inerested in the position we need to meet asap because I need to fill it." I told him again I could do it whenever he wanted tomorrow (during normal hours) but now I'm worried if I go he will hit on me and ... you know, just an uncomfortable situation. Should I just not go at all and avoid it? Or go and see if maybe I'm just over reacting?

If I have an interview tomorrow and I am having second thoughts about this job, should I just go to the interview, or should I just not show up? Or call tomorrow morning and tell them?
