I was wondering what the average amount of time to take off for getting married was. I've read different things on various forums. Some women only took one or two days off, and some women felt they were entitled to two or three weeks. I'm leaning toward two or three weeks, especially because I have the mind set that work should never trump your life. Also, I'm planning on getting married out of state, so I will need more time for travel, etc.

I was wondering what people's experiences are with asking for time off for getting married. Have your bosses been excepting of this new stage in your life? Have they rained on your parade and made you feel guilty for wanting two or three weeks? Have you offered to use one week paid vacation time and opted to take an extra week of unpaid time off?

Ideally, I'd take about seven days paid vacation time and some unpaid time also. I mean, this day only happens once in a lifetime, right?

I ask because at job interviews I've seen, everyone interviewing wears a black suit. Even though ppl at the firm wear a variety of colors (navy blue, charcoal, gray, etc.).

to want more for your family and allow your underachievement professionally to motivate you to do better. How do you strive for more while protecting the stability you have and great work life balance. I 'm not learning anything new at my job going on 4 years now and despite my efforts to do more I am rebuffed by the owner of the company who likes the status quo. I need to constantly improve myself yet feel hemmed in by this cozy envirnment.

any ideas on how to resolve this seemingly contradictory situation.

Like, Macy's. How much did each dress, shirt, or whatever cost them? I'm looking for the range of the kind of thing you'd find at a Macy's store, specifically, though any range or a place I could find this information would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

I was fired from my last job because the employees that worked for me didn't like that I held them accountable for their work and the results or lack of results. They complained to HR and those complaints resulted in my termination.

I am looking for a real administrative assistant position that I could work from home. Does it really exist? I've been looking into a lot of different websites, but there always seems to be a catch of some sort.

I am not looking for a job that costs me money to work. Any job you have to pay to work just doesn't make sense to me.

Also, if you are thinking about telling me about a multi-level marketing program or an envelope stuffing "opportunity", please don't bother. Thanks.

Why do we generally place little value in public school K-12 grades TEACHING as a profession and give such low salaries in comparison to other jobs requiring a college degree of at least a Bachelors degree level, some teaching positions require a Masters...WHY? Without good teachers, NONE OF US would be qualified to have any responsible employment.

For instance, I'm an editor, and I've been asked to create labels for the cabinets in our break room. I feel so incredibly insulted having been asked to do this! Do any of you get asked to do these "administrative" types of things when you're clearly at a much higher level?

Basically, I was fired for not answering my telephone the night before when I was "needed." 9:30 p.m. I worked on a military base and when my id's were ripped from my hands, keys were taken, and was told if i didn't leave, the MP's wouyld be called I left. But now, my boss decides to tell unemployment that I quit and I have to make my case to an examiner. Is the blatant lying olegal and what should I do?

I haven't work in about 6mos. It is time for me to find work again. But not in my chosen field. I have to start out at the very bottom, like a teenager. I am really derpressed about this but I need to work. How do I get past feeling so horrible about it? I'm going to go to school, again, but I still have to work. I need advice or maybe a story on how you or someonelse got past it. I know I can't be the only one going through this.
