The teacher at bartending school said black pants and a white shirt to the interview. Is there any type of bar where you will not get hired for showing up in this?

We've all had our first jobs somewhere along the line. I got my first job when I was 16 working at Rite Aid (and still do for now) and boy I can tell you what a change that was. I was so naive I actually thought maybe the customers would go easy on me since it was my first day and I was a "kid" so to say (I really didn't know about customer service and what I was getting into, since i was forced to get a job then). (No such luck, lol...). Of course things are much different now, but what was your first job and how was the experience? (babysitting and doing favors for neighbors/people/relatives doesn't count).

I have worked as a manager in a multinational company for 6 years. Since working there, I have had a lot of stress, a lot of it brought on by the company and two years ago I had a complete nervous breakdown and have not worked since. I feel really well now and a position has come up for a new lower management position in a different company. Should I go for it?

include this on future resumes, on the off chance an employer will pay 60 plus dollars to view my employment history.....I'm not going to be applying for jobs that would do such extensive screening anyways. I don't want to appear flaky, but the circumstances were horrifying (these people were crazy....they don't even work at that address anymore). What would you do?

What is considered "part-time"? Of course, less than 40 hours--but on 'average' how many hours are given to part-time workers? 10/20/25//30/35??

I am a banquet server in Washington and my employer does not include the full 18% gratuity he charges on events. We get a straight wage of 10.50 per hour regardless of what events we have. Minimum wage in Washington is 7.93. We are only getting 2.57 an hour more than that from tips and our employer is pocketing the rest of the gratuity. As an example, last night we worked an event which had a $300 gratuity charge, 2 people worked the event for about 18 hours between the 2 of us. That means our employer paid us only $189 for that day. If he was paying us only minimum wage(7.93) plus tips, we should have made $442. That is more than double what we are being paid by our employer. Does anyone know if he can legally rob us of our hard earned money like this?

My managers have came to me and said that someone has been reading my line managers emails on the pc that I use, which I haven't.

In order to log onto the pc's at work you need a unique password and anyone could log onto any pc.

They have said that someone logs on as my line manager, reads his emails and then logs off and the next person to be logged on is me. When I come into work in the morning you can see that last person to be logged on and it always has been me as it is normally only me that uses that particular pc.

It is obvious that someone is logging on as my manager and then also knows my password and logs on as me, clearing themselves from any wrong doing.

Can they sack me for this - it couldve been anyone.

I applied for an office position which stated the job is "full-time". I put the pay I want on my application. I went for the job interview. I got a call to come in Monday morning. He asked if "I was still interested in the position". I told him I was. He told me to be there at 8am -Monday. The person on the phone did not know I had even had an interview yet..but (I guess) offered me the position. He said the position would be "part-time" hopefully turn into full-time.
My question is.. I was under the impression the job was full time. What should I ask Monday morning when I go in for the job? Some questions I had weren't answered because I was expecting a second interview with someone higher up in the company "know". I sort-of doubt the boss will be there because the interviewer said he only comes in once a week. I'd like full-time employment (as the posting stated it would be).. but they've offered me part-time with "maybe" a full time position later. What should I do?

I've employeed people in one region of India with poor results. They just didn't have what we in the West call "work ethic." Work ethic means that they are dedicated to their work for the sake of the work, not just to collect the money at the end of the month.
When people have work ethic, they are so easy to manage, but when they don't, they need to be micro-managed for results, and are generally a pain in the behind to employee.
So, does anyone WITH experience- and not just a kid who never had exposure to the different peoples in multiple work environments- have any advice about good people to employee in India for basic office operations.
Where are they? How to identify them? How to keep them? Is their a code I need to crack around this?
