What would you do if your superior told you to get your nails professionally done, dress more professionally, get your hair done and wear more makeup?

Before you answer, consider that you're already dressing professionally, wearing black slacks or a skirt, blouse and jacket, your hair is done every day and you already wear makeup.

Here are some other details that might be helpful. This is my second interview with this firm. I recently recieved my associates degree in accounting and this is my first job. I have a fair amount of education, but not very much job experience. This company does not have a web site that I know of (I have searched). I do know that they do income taxes, payroll, and financial statements among other things. Their clients range from small to large businesses. Thanks for your suggestions.

I was ordered by my doctor last week to eat every couple of hours because of a medical condition causing extremely low potassium. So I have been bringing fruit, raw vegetables, and juices to work and eating them at my desk every couple of hours. I've always eaten lunch at my desk because my job does not allow for a lunch break. I received an email from my boss on Monday informing me that I will no longer be allowed to eat at my desk. I emailed back and pointed out that some people have medical conditions that require them to eat often and that I cannot leave my desk most days in order to go elsewhere to eat. I never received an answer back so I assume that policy stands. I am also in a work environment where others eat at their desk including my boss. I am not serving the public and my desk is the only one in the far corner of a basement office, far away from the front door and customers. I am not in a union environment so what are my rights in this case?

I have almost two years of purchasing experience for a fastener and hardware (wholesale) distributor to the RV and housing industries. I am looking for a better paying job with more flexible hours. I do business with a lot of the major fastener and hardware (cabinet hardware, door hardware, etc.) importers in Chicago and across the country. Do you need an enthusiastic purchasing person?

I revamped his entire company over the past 5 months with verbal commitment of partnership and certain monthly salary (all of which he didn't follow through with.) In revamping, I hired a sales staff and trained them. Trained office staff. Created entire marketing materials and sales kit. Then contacted nearly 100 companies which some day will turn into business for him down the road. Gave corporate presentations and presented at trade shows. During this time he payed his personal bills with business money and spent money poorly while his wife screwed up the books (all while paying her off the books.)

Do I have any legal recourse on this guy...I've got a family to feed and no job.

what should i do?

my parents both told me to go with whichever job makes me happy.. its not that my current job makes me happy but i dont think the new job will make me happy

I am 23 and I have a college degree so I do not want to sell myself short. My hearing loss is 100% in one ear and about half in the other and is a result of a fairly recent surgery. Needless to say, phone work is not ideal and I wear a hearing aid in my "good" ear but it is not enough to make much difference. Any suggestions?

I have worked for $1 a hour that was the going wage. I was unskilled & in high school. Raising the minimum wage is not going to help anyone. when you are forced to raise someones pay ,1 of 2 things happen. You either raise the price of your product or you lay people off. If I am working for someone & i make $.10 over minimum & the owner has to raise the wage $.25 then I want a raise. so who loses the person he was going to hire when he has me for that 10 cents more. It is a circle. no one wins. why not let the market decide the wage? If no one will work for what you are offering wont you have to offer more? why should millionaires decide my bussiness?

I have worked at the same place for about 7 years. I am very happy there, I get to be outdoors, My bosses feel like my parents to me, they pay for me to go to the doctor when I am sick, they buy me things all the time, they are constantly reminding me how they couldn't run the business without me (I am the manager). The only thing is this job is only seasonal (6 or 7 months a year) and I have no benifits, and I get really bored when I am not at work. I have been struggling with a decision for years, I have even applied and got very good jobs when I was off work only to quit and return to this job becasue I miss the people there so much. Should I make myself get another job or enjoy the one I have.
