I got a job, but I might get a better one. I live one and a half hours away from the job I got, and I know exactly where I want to live.

I'm pretty sure it's a one year lease, though. I would like to arrange something that allows me to live there for two months, and then sign a one year lease.

I am also on a typical two month probationary period with the job.

I have really good references and rental history. What are my chances of say paying more money for the first two months? How much more is it iusually If so?

I am reaching a point professionally, where I am not longer satisfied. I would love a change, but am not sure where to go. I have a BA, and will have a Masters soon. I would love to take a career test to gauge my interests to guide me where to go and I am willing to go back to school. Where can I get some guidance to help with my decision?

Is your employer legally required to pay you for accrued vacation time when you leave employment? Are the laws different per state, and can they be looked up somewhere?

I'm at a new job where I work with a team. That team's been together for 12+ years and they did NOT want to hire me (their choice was overriden). They have been hateful from day one, and it is taking a toll on me now.

I have been trying to be social, friendly, etc., for 5 months. They still just stick together, marginalize me and even talk behind my beack (you know how that stuff gets back). They even undermine and belittle my actions and comments in public.

I now despise them so much I pretty much give them the cold shoulder now and stop trying to be friendly. That is pretty immature of me, I think.

Has anyone walked this path? Do you have any insights?

Thank you!!!

I'm supposed to work in an hour, but I live about 30 minutes away from work and there's currently freezing rain coming down. The road conditions are only supposed to worsen, along with floods, downed trees, and power outages. I'm afraid even if I can get to work now, when I get off in 8 hours, I won't be able to get home. Should I call and say I can't come to work, or ask to go home a few hours early, or just suck it up and go until the end of my shift?

I have been babysitting for a family since I was a freshman in high school. I am now a senior in college. The child I work with is autistic and is a teenager now. When I began working for the family, I made $10 an hour. I am still making $10 an hour. The family is very very very well off and I feel as if I am being ripped off. I drive home from college about 20 miles away just to babysit for this family once a week. I know I could easily make more doing the same thing closer to my school and not have to spend as nearly as much on gas. Should I stick with this family until I graduate or should I move on?

Also, I watched the family's dog while they were away on the agreement that they would pay me what they would pay a kennel. When they got back, they said their kennel is only $30 a day (for a large breed dog). I feel as if they don't care to keep me working for them anymore.

OK, i recently got concert tickets, unfortunately the concert is a few weeks from now and starts at 8. I work the late shift, from 1-9. Where i work, they would need to find a replacement for me on that day...and we dont have an on-call staff so it would have to be set up weeks in advance which is why i would feel bad calling in sick the day of the concert. I want to come up with a good excuse as to why i cant make it to work that day, something i can tell my boss a few weeks in advance, some sort of commitment i cant get out of. Any suggestions?

The situation is, I'm new to my job and I have a co-worker named "Barney" who when I first started working there saw me drawing the word sex with colorful magic markers at my desk and told me he could help me with that. I said yes but I told him I was very skeptical since we work together. He promised not tell anyone. I even wrote him a letter that was very sexual and told him not to tell anyone including his best friend one of the female supervisors. We did our thing once and it was terrible and thats when I realized I had made a mistake this was a month ago. Yesterday he got into a dispute with my other coworker that I'm friends with because he was using the computer at her desk and she needed it. He told her even if you was bleeding on herself he wouldn't cover her post anymore and since I was laughing too, he would snitch on everyone he sees on the internet. Then he asked me whats up with the hotel again and tried to record the convo on a cellphone to play for my coworkers.

I Babysit On A Regular Basis (2-3 Times A Week) ... And I Get About $15.00 Per Hour To Watch An 8 Year Old, 5 Year Old, And A 2 Year Old...

A Few Years Ago, When I Lived In Canada - I Got Paied $35.00 An Hour To Watch A 6 Year Old, And A 1 Year Old...

(BTW - Thats Not What I Charge! That's How Much They Wanted To Pay Me!)

Most Of My Firends That Work At Stores & Stuff Get About, $5.00 - $7.00 An Hour...

Am I Being "Over-Payed"??

Because, Every Time I Got To Babysit For Someone New - They Say "How Much Do You Charge An Hour?"
And, I Just Say "It's Up To You! It Doesnt Matter!")
Should I Not Say That? Will They Take Advantage Of Me??

What Do You Guys Generally Get Paid To Babysit? (Per Hour)

I Babysit Every Weekend - And, 1 Or 2 Times A Week... (And, For Each Day Is Usually Between 5:00PM - 12:30AM) So, Thats's About 7-8 Hrs Each Time... Which Is Like, $120 A Night...

I've Been Babysitting Regularily For The Past 5 1/2 Years... (I'm 16 Now)

What SHOULD I Be Getting Paid??
