My boss has been horrible to me over the last couple of weeks for no aparent reason. This morning she was on the phone on a personal call and started crying. I was glad she was upset.

I have to go into today to fill out paperwork for a new job I'm starting. Feb. 12th is my best friend's b-day and us and some other people planned going out of state to a concert. I don't know if I'd have to work that day or not. I don't know what the scedule will be, but if that day is on my scedule, would it be bad to ask for that day off explaining that I made these plans before I started working? It would really disappoint my friend if I didn't go. Should I ask for that day off, or just work it if I'm sceduled for that day?

Have recently been offered a job, I originally turned the offer down because of the salary, but they came back and agreed to match my current salary. (New job would involve no travel, saving £1000pa).

My current employers requested (beginning of contract) 4 weeks notice, although new employer is keen for me to start in 2 weeks.

It would be a case of just walking from my current job. My boss, is a good boss, and I don't know if I would want to do that to him, also, it would burn bridges.

If the new job didn't work out for whatever reason, giving 4 weeks noticce to current employer would leave gates open for me to go back, walking after 2 would leave me no where!

What would you do?

I love to help people who really need it. Not working in an office does any one know of a job.

Is there a website where I can order the green trousers to go as part of an occupational therapy uniform please (for women) ? I was given some in my first year at uni, am now in my third and have put a bit of weight on and they don't fit now!

Also, is it possible to get a nice flattering pair of these that look at bit more boot cut rather than making your legs look like drainpipes?

Thanks.

I've really lost my passion for my job as a receptionist, I had thought I just disliked my last place of employment but having changed offices I have realised that it is not the office that is the problem but the role. I am looking for a new job and went for an interview last night which was very positive, but what can I do in the meantime to help me through my days at reception and make it more bearable?

I don't mean sleeping on the job. I mean a structured nap time, mandatory or voluntary, designed to help workers rest and work more energetically.

A number of employers have adopted this practice, including some major railroads, which routinely have crews take naps while trains are parked on sidings waiting for other trains to pass. Long-haul truck drivers are required to get rest time while traveling.

In France there has been a law proposed that would force employers to give their employees nap breaks.

How do you feel? I'll just lean back and close my eyes while I'm waiting for your answers.

I had some legal problems so I accepted the fact that I wouldnt be reciving industry standard when I started 8 months ago.
I am the only field tech in the company I work for, my bosses and customers are satisfied with my work. I have 8 years experience in my industry. according to http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=telephone+technician&l1=brooklyn+ny&tm=1 I am making about 10,000 less than standard in NYC.

How long should I wait before asking for a raise? Should I wait untill I have been there 52 weeks, or is the 39 weeks that I have been there enough?

Aprox what would be an acceptable percentage or dollar figure raise, I understand that I can not expect to see a 10,000 raise to bring me up to standard, but would 5,000 be a reasonable goal to reach for (aprox 2.40/hr)

I am paid flat salary, not hourly, they refuse to pay OT, when I started they said there was occasional opportunity for overtime. They allow me to start late if I work longer then an 8 hour shift the prior day.

Does anybody know whats the current hourly salary at Abercrombie & Fitch or what it was before? For a part time job there, how many hours a week are you required to work? Im planning on signing up for a group interview, I just wanted to know if these are the questions that they most likely ask:

Why is diversity important in the workplace?
Why should we hire you?
What experience do you have?
How would you describe yourself?
Why did you apply here versus the other stores in the mall?
What makes you successful?
Why do you want to work at Abercrombie & Fitch?
What are some of your major accomplishments?

Do they also sometimes ask like silly and unusual questions like:

Whats the craziest thing you ever did?
If you were a superhero, who would you be?

And, would wearing the current season clothing to the group interview be advisable?

And is there anything else that I should take into consideration for the group interview ???
