Hi all,

I'd appreciate your advice.

I have just got a new job as a Supervisor on London's busiest shopping street. I'm not sure how to cope and need help.

I'm doing 2 weeks training before I go live at the flagship store on March 6th, and have just finished my first week. The training store is much quieter than the one I will be in, but I'm struggling a little. I'm very aware that I need to learn as much as possible over the next few days, but the more I think about it, the more stressed I get.

My problem is that, although I've managed a (MUCH smaller) shop before, I find it hard to be assertive with the other staff members. In the past people have, not surprisingly, taken advantage of this, and I do not want it to happen again... I'm certain that my new team will do exactly the same if I let them. I need to change but don't know how to do it.

An example: yesterday I worked at my training store with sales assistants who have been in the company for years. I am obviously there to be taught the basics, but the fact remains that I'm a member of the management team. One of the part timers in particular is very bossy and seems to think that she gets the final word on everything. I need to assert myself as it is me who is meant to be setting tasks, but don't have the confidence to do it. If I carry on like this I will be hopeless at my store as staff will see me as a pushover. That would end in disaster.

How can I ensure that the flagship team respect me and listen to me? I've been considering having individual chats with everyone when I start, to get to know them and to lay down some ground rules but am not sure what to say.

I'm also worried about the more practical aspects. My merchandising is of a good standard, but I take far too long about it, spending too much time on little details rather than getting the whole thing done first. I know I need to stop that if I'm going to cope with the demands of the busier store. It's a habit I'm finding hard to break. Some team members have noticed this and I feel as though it makes me look incapable.

I'm not sure how best to organise tasks and make sure that everyone is doing them as they
should be. I will have to close the store, and during the last 2 hours of my shift will be in the office cashing up. The rest of the team will have to get the shop floor looking good while I'm away. If they don't respect me, they won't bother - so how do I make sure that standars are maintained?

HEEEELLP! x

if you work 40 hours per week for 50 weeks per year that is 2000 hours. If you multiply that by $350/hour, it works out to $700k/year. I have heard most lawyers work more than 40 hours per week. So why isn't the average NYC lawyers average salary more like $800k/year than $125k/year?

There are a lot of scams out there. I once heard that most money making schemes ask for money from you so they can send you their info. That means they make their money off the info, not the service they offer. So I wanted to hear from real people that make real money.

About a year ago, a lady I know (who is a corporate recruitor, not a temp agency) helped me to get a job by placing me in a popular bank. She decived me and I found out it was a temp position the day before I started and learned quickly what that meant. (Side note I will never be a temp again) Well, I worked my way up and became well liked and was about to take a permanent position...all was going well.

Recently I found out there is a hiring freeze and I cannot take the job that was almost mine.....my year I am allowed as a temp is up soon and I could literally get laid off anyday now. Can I collect unemployment or will they tell me to take another temp position. I would like to now if I can collect until I get a perm. job. Does the fact I was mislead about my job help my cause??

A SPECIFIC law, regulation, book, website, something would be most helpful because I can't seem find it myself. Thanks in advance!

I am a special education teacher and I am burned out! It seems that every year things are getting worse in the profession in my opinion. My problem is the only real experience I have is in the teaching field and I can't afford to go back to school for a career change. I'm to the point I dread going to work. I think I need a job that involves some form of autonomy and the world does not fall apart if I need a sick day. Has anyone else been through this and are there any suggestions?
