O.K- we just had a "discussion" on employment issues. My hubby worked 2 jobs and is in school. He just got fired from Wack-mart (walmart) for throwing a piece of tape. (i am not even kidding) after he had been there for 6 years. He didn't even want to fight that. His other job pays him by the piece (he fabricates granite and corian counter tops. He recently has been driving to New Mexico (10 hours one way from where we live) and they are paying him 10$ hourly which is what he was hired on at 4 years ago. He thinks if he asks for an hourly wage increase he will be considered as having his d*ck up the bosses a*s. (his exact words) I keep telling him this isn't Samoa(he is Samoan). You have to ask for what you want in America, they will pay you the least amount possible unless you ask for a raise. He got upset with me and yelled "what do you want me to do" and then he left. Can anyone tell me what they think about this situation and maybe offer him/me advice. (His spvsr makes $8000 a mo)

I could not get a job except flipping burgers,the economy was bad.My mom says all it takes to get
a job is a HS diploma and she did not want me to continue my education because of LD. I thought
2 years at this restaurant job,showing up on time,
never missing work etc I could move on to something else.I was told jobs lead to jobs regardless of what you do.By the way I only had
a certificate of completion but I never disclosed it.
I just say I graduated.Could this have been the
problem of not being able to find a job? I will
never know.

Say another employee has a grudge and calls in a complaint (pretending to be a customer) against another employee of equal rank, but higher seniority and the company fires the employee with higher seniority. Will a lawsuit cover lost wages, or just return the job?

Recently I got promoted with bigger pay packages and managed to get the brand new company car, company phone, etc..., alongside with more responsibility. Fun for a while but...

I'm working longer hours these days, my clients could call me any minute and I'm taking work home most of the time..

Perhaps I should stand down and give myself more time to do other stuff....? What's more important - money or freedom?

Currently I am reading some books on how to prepare resumes for federal jobs. I looked in usajob.opm.gov for jobs and apply, but I always seem to not even get called (not pass the first screening). I currently have a bachelors degree in Information Technology, planning on getting my master starting on march 23 and hold 4 comptia certifications (will get some microsoft ones soon).

What am I doing wrong? I understand that many people prefer to work in the states and I am looking at overseas jobs.

I was considering applying for a state job, but I wasn't sure what the benefit of doing that over applying for a job at a corporation would be. Is working for the state really that much better?

I'm interested in applying for a job at a skating rink. The ad says "for more info contact Joe at joe@blah.com". What should I ask? Should I just say that I'm interested in the position or should I ask for specifics or tell him something about myself or what?

A place that I interviewed at called me in, sounding very interested, for a second interview. They told me they would pay me if I cam in and worked with them for several hours. I agreed, and came in and build graphic piece for them to show my capabilities (I am a graphic designer). They seemed pleased with what I made, thanked me and told me they would be in touch with me within a week. I emailed them 7 days later since I hadn't heard back... no response. Now it has been almost a month! If they don't want hire me, fine.... whatever... but what kind of crap is it that they tell me the are going to pay me - and then don't. Should I harass them about the money?

If one is very interested in a job, is it okay to "follow up" more than ONCE on a resume you sent or an interview you were given? Would that be being a little to pestery about it? Should I just assume that if I hear nothing back after one follow-up that they are not interested?
