Ok, someone I know is considering moving from Europe to the US, but is concerned after reading about the long hours some (most) Americans work.
So, question: Software engineer, Oracle & Java, programming, testing, etc...
Average # work hours for those with similar positions? Salary or hourly (w/overtime)?
Thanks!!

We have been getting calls for someone we do not know...apparently she had the phone number before we did. We have told the compnay repeatedly that the person they are asking for does not live here and explain that we have only had the phone number for a couple of months. We have also asked them, repeatedly, to stop calling. As they call from several telephone numbers and ones that are unavailable we cannot block all of their calls...too many different numbers. They refuse to give us the name of the company they are calling for bur want our personal information so they can update their files. As it is not our bill they are calling about there is nothing to update. We have spoken to the phone company and they have indicated that blocking the calls will probably not work. We just changed out phone number a couple of months ago (annoying calls) and do not want to do it again. We have told the callers that we will contact the police. How can we get the calls to stop?

My boyfriend today was fired over the phone by his boss at Banana Republic when he called in to see what the new schedule was for the week. He recently get hired there and despite being only 2-3 minutes late two times on the clock (which was actually one of their reasons for firing him), he has been an attentive worker. He applied for a fulltime position and instead of giving him regular 5 days a week 9 hours shifts (with lunch), they instead signed him up for 6 part time shifts a week. When he called in, his boss gave him the reasons in which he was fired for not showing up today, she was unprofessional. From my view point, I don't think he did anything wrong. He worked 7 days straight, one week running into another. Should he complain to corporate? I understand he will not get his job back but perhaps if there are prior complaints towards this manager, something will be done. This branch has been recently noted as one that has been having poor sales performance. Opinions?

I don't know what college to choose or major in what field. I like to work with computers because I'm really good with them. Maybe someone can give me advice on what to do or what to major in.

I just finished an interview with the manager at a Marie's Calendar resteraunt. I think pretty much liked the fact that I was willing to work as a bus boy and work weekends and holidays. However I do not have any previous jobs for experience so she said I should have two people write me a letter of recommendation. Who should I have write me the letter?

I recently handed in an application for a job nearby, and within a week I got a call for an interview.

I thought the interview went extremely well, and the interviewer told me near the end of the interview that the call backs were going to happen maybe that same day or the next.

Right now it's the next day at about 3pm at the very moment. Should I be thinking to give up and continue my search, or wait out this entire day because I'm getting pretty anxious and filled with a lot of anxiety.

Did what he say happen to be a lie about the call backs just to make me feel better? Because it's not working!

I'm seriously thinking about calling back, but should I wait out this day and call tomorrow?

I'm pretty nervous waiting, what do you think is happening? What should I do?

I am applying for a job and I need to fill out my highest level of education. I am currently in college full time. I will have my bachelors degree after I finish my last 3 classes in the fall. The job I'm applying for asks what is my highest level of education. Can I put bachelors degree? The only other option that I have is "some college" which someone could put if they even only took 1 college class. Should I put "some college" or "bachelors degree"??

I'm trying to find a full-time job, but I'm having difficulty. I haven't worked in almost a month and I'm running low on money. I don't want to settle for a job that doesn't pay what I need or offer the benefits I want. I was thinking about getting a waitressing job in the mean time. I have years of experience. That's how I got through college.

Today, I applied to a few restuarants in my area. When they asked me my availablitiy, I said I was looking for something long term. I really needed the job, so I said it. It wasn't completely lying, b/c I don't know how long I'll be searching for a better position. But, what happens if 3 weeks down the road I get my dream job offer.

How do you graceful back out of a job you just got? I need money, so I had to do something.

I supervise a young man who is having issues accepting & changing his inappropriate behaviour while working at our front desk. I have explained that there have been many complaints & his first request is to find out the incident or the complainer. As all the complaints are regarding "attitude" I explained that we need to focus on correcting the behaviour & not dwell on specifics.

After my chat with him on Tue., in which I said he was not to worry about the who's & when's, I found out he went to another co-worker & tried to drag names &incidents out of them. They came to me in confidence, as they fear his attitude &/or retaliation, so I didn't feel it appropriate to confront him with that knowledge.

We did have a pre-scheduled meeting with our HR on Wed. where they also expressed a need for him to work on the behaviour & leave the details alone.

Has anyone had a similar problem & how did you fix it? We've had too many complaints from staff but mngt WILL NOT let us fire him!
