Ok, so my boss cares very little for his employees and would get rid of anyone of us at a drop of a hat. Lately my workload is very light and I hate sitting here bored all day. I want to ask for more work, which would mean some training on my co-workers part, but i am afraid he will just eliminate my position. What would you do?

How do you encourage a "work shy" guy to get a job? He has have been out of the work place for quite a while and has never managed to hold down a variety of jobs for any length of time. The new jobs are greeted with initial enthusiasm and then after a couple of weeks problems arise and it's always the bosses fault. At over 30 with a family to support it does not seem right that a healthy male should be living on benefits. Any idea's?

I have been pondering this type of career and although I do not think I have the aptitude for sales, it's medicine, everyone needs medicine right? I am good at presentations and I'm currently in school getting my Business Management degree. What is a day like in that profession? What good companies are there to try to work for? Any in Topeka, Kansas/KC, Missouri area? I have looked and have seen that Pfizer and Sanofi Aventis are in this area. I understand that this is also a highly competitive career path. Thanks for any info!!

One of my co-workers, in the retail store we work at, has been there over THREE years but has never gotten a raise. This is not the type of retail job where you earn commission. It is strictly an hourly wage. I couldn't believe it when she said she's been there 3+ years with no raise!!!

She did ask them, once and maybe twice, but got the run-around, so she just quit asking and for a looong time has been resigned to "never getting a raise." :-( Personally I think she should've started looking for another/better job, but anyway, not my biz. My question is: can an employer legally get away with never giving a raise? And if they CAN get away with this, is it common? It seems bizarre and disrespectful to me! (Oh, and the majority of the people who've been there almost as long as her, have not gotten any raises either).

P.S. I've only been there 5 months, so I'm not even THINKING about asking for a raise yet! heheh

Well I never had a job before and I graduated high school about a year ago and i'm not going to college right now because i dont have the money neither does my family and i cant write a paper(such as a thesis statement and everything) so I cant apply for one of those scholarships that require written papers. and dont get me started about my grades. I need a job but I have problems such as getting distracted easily...too easily. and I have a problem thinking when people rely on me. and another thing I am very weak so a job that requires muscle wont do. and im not very good at answering questions for jobs. when I applied for a restaurant job they asked me "why do you want to work here?" and I didn't know what to put so I put "because i need a job" I know it's not a good answer but that's all I could think of. If possible can some one help me be more focused and professional.
