I was offered a promotion and raise within my company, however if I would take this job it is a longer drive that puts me driving right through downtown and I wouldn't have weekends off anymore... What are your opinions of what I should do?

I have worked so hard for this company but my job really cant show proof of my hard work and being that it is such a big company they barely see my effort lately I have been really upset and all with wanting more responsibilities at work and I know I can handle it but no one here sees that their all happy making great money and have good jobs the more positions that open up the more excuses they give for giving them to other people I do not understand why this keeps happening to me i feel like im gonna lose it any day now. I have tried to email my resume to lots of other jobs and have had no luck only get responses from recruiters I am soo drained and feel like I keep getting pushed back here what should I do??

it asks,"list 2 persons not related to you, whom you have known and worked with at least one year." well, I haven't had a job for a year(i'm a teenager). who should i list? nobody at my old jobs would probably even remember me, much less able to give recommendation.

I've wanted to be an airline pilot for as long as I can remember. However I've been working in IT for the last 3 years and am only now ready to commit all the money to training and then hopefully get a job. I have a private pilots license so I know I enjoy flying. I think I will enjoy being an airline pilot, but how do I know? I've spoken to others about it and from what I've heard, I will love it... but I do not want to change career and spend all this money only to end up in a job which I do not like or is not what I thought it would be. Any advice?

Ofcourse, a good boss and a good job will make perfect match. But, if you couldnt get both- all other things being equal- which one would you prfer: A great job where you might question your boss's values, or a so-so job where you got to work for a person with integrity?

I've been unemployed for a little over a month now and have sent several resumes to various potential employers online, but all I ever get back are sales job leads some of which I'm sure are bogus. Is monster.com, careerbuilders.com, hotjobs.com etc for real?

I don't understand the reason why this is happening especially since my department is so busy right now. My boss has offered to help me look for other jobs but I don't know if I trust her. I can't be angry around her because I need her recommendation when I do find another job. How can I keep my cool at work and still do my best knowing each day that comes means one less day I have a job?

Ever since I started this job it has been confusing as hell. I was lied to in the interview about my duties and now I am stuck. I am a PA/Receptionist/Admin Assistant. But my duties mainly consist of making coffee,being a door mat and bringing in the garbage cans. None of my 13 years of experience are being used. My boss is a jerk who does stupid things all day long, but the minute you make one mistake you hear it forever. She and the Office/HR manager are also ploting things behind my back. They have pulled similar scams with 3 other girls before me. They only plan to keep you for a year then build up things against you so when the "let you go" you can't get unemployment. I want to leave but because I am new I don't have anytime to do an interview. I feel stressed and stuck. I can't walk off because I have a family to consider. What would you do in my situation?

Everytime we go on a company retreat or off-site training session, our company insists we share a room with another employee (same sex). Since we are a nationwide company almost always it's someone we have never met before. I understand the costs issue, but I'm just really beyond the "sleepover" situation. Last conference, a bunch of employees got drunk and their roomates got to spend all night dealing with them getting sick. Others had horrible snorers in their rooms. Do you think that a company should make employees share a room?

It's my first job ever and I'm 16. The McDonald's is in a mall. I try my best to be fast but it takes me time to get everything accurately and there's always a big lineup in my line. My manager said they're not trying to compare me with another girl who is new like me but he did. He kept comparing me. She's like perfect, she does make mistakes but not as much as me. During our training, she kept asking soooo much questions that I never even got a chance to ask my questions. As soon as I wanted to speak up, she kept intrupting with her questions. I know I give that as an excuse to my manager. I dont want to loose this job because it's my first job ever and so I wont be able to get a reference for my other job cuz they'll say bad stuff about me. What do you think I can do to speed up but yet be accurate and keep my cool under stress? I dont really care if I loose this job, but that doesn't mean i will stop trying and not improve, I just feel I'm not ready for this kind of thing...

A lot of drama at my work place has happened over the last week. Saturday a few people went to the head boss to discuss the rumors and drama. Tomorrow afternoon there will be a meeting to discuss the drama and possibly some firing. I honestly have not said anything about anyone, but there has been some rumors going on about me, as well as a few other girls. I will say that I was one of the girls who went to HR department. These rumors can cause relationship problems, as well as personal problems. I know I'm not in highschool anymore, and I should just ignore them, but these rumors are too serious to ignore. Tomorrow is the big day. Everyone knows the head lady who has started these rumors. Pretty much what she does is take something innocent that I say, and turn it into something huge and misleading. Well, I'm nervous as hell, but I'm up to it. So my question is, "How can I handle the meeting?" Should I bring notes? Has anyone gone through this before? Any help would be appreciated.
