I have an interview for a Cable Technician/Installer job, the setting is a Bob Evans restaurant in the afternoon. What would be considered appropriate attire? The job requires mostly outdoor work, should I take this into account when I decide what to wear?

change the schedule at the last minute (tells a person on sunday night that they have to come in monday morning instead of afternoon or calls in the afternoon trying to make you work the next day (which you are off)? Why is that the employees have to follow the schedule but the boss doesn't have to and expects me to just keep changing my plans to fill in for the employees that call in or to help my coworker because they took on a project and promised it in an unrealistic time and expect me to come in a work my butt off to help them. They just called me but I missed the call and I know that when I go in today (early because they changed my schedule) that they are going to try to take my days off but I have plans for both days and an important appointment that I was lucky to be able to reschedule after having to cancel at the last minute because of the first work schedule change. Should I just tell them that I have plans for the next 2 days or what?

Why do handicap people (mentally disabled) take advantage of the system? They sit at work doing nothing but staring at people and get a salary? What bugs me is that while most people work hard the disabled people just sit there and either read a magazine or whatever.
There are SO Many disable people that work for the government. Why is that?

I'm working in Shanghai while I am in Singapore now recovering from a surgery and am on medical leave.

My co-worker called to tell me about what my boss did (Above). Anybody around here knows what are my rights and what should I do?

I've been told that my boss wants to keep my cabinet opened and unlocked, this is a concern for me as I have important personal documents and belongings kept there. How do I solve this matter without getting my colleagues in trouble? (I am not supposed to be in the know about what has happened.)

HELP!

Hey people. Well what can I say, I totally hate office work - and I have done lots of them. I've had enough of it now and just want to get out! I want just to be happy, so can anyone suggest some alternatives. I'm 25 year old male in UK. Happiness is more important than money.

My boss recently returned from medical leave for 6 months. While he was gone I did his job, and now he's a raging jerk and trying to make me look bad in front of his boss. Like I didn't know what I was doing! Not everything was perfect, but I got along without him, and I don't appreciate him now acting like I screwed everything up or that if he was here it would've been much better. How should I react?

I been working in a factory for 8 years, was in management on a production line. Got ill and out of commission for 5 months to return and have a new unexperienced person in your job and guess what, you now work under this person on your line you had.
Well no prob, I been planning for a year to leave to re-open my old company back up and had vacation days approved, advertisement set up to release all in a timely schedual. Then all of a sudden this new manager starts taking vacation days away and telling me I cant have them just before I get off the day before. now I have to take off and gt hours against me.
Well, this goes on for 2 weeks, the 3rd week the day before I am schedualed for a 2 week leave I am told again they was cancelled. I talk to head of HR about it (not mentioning what my plans has been) and he says np, I can straighten this out. An hour later I get canned, but the funny part was I was gonna come in one day after my 2 week vacation and quit?
Laugh or be POed?
