Most people with a degree preforming a job do NOT do anything that a High school grad couldn't preform!

My mom said she will give me my passport later but I have training today for a gelato shop. Do I need any papers when training or only when I officially start work?

I received an email from a company who stated that they saw my resume online and are considering me for a position as an office assistant online. We did an interview on instant messenger. I was hired for the position. I am supposed to start tomorrow. I will work 40 hours a week starting at 8 am. I was told that I would be paid $17/hr with a company check once per month so I wouldnt receive a check until 30 days from tomorrow. Is this a scam? They asked for no $ up front. They didnt ask for my social security number either.

I work at a bank and I'm not allowed to be on the internet, read, or talk to other co workers. I'm the only one that has to adhere to the rules. I swear I'm singled out. Everyone else can talk to other co workers but I am not. This is a very slow bank and alot of my time is spent staring at a wall. I hate this f!@# place.
The only time any of the officers acknowledge my existence is when they yell at me and the vice president likes to do it in front of everyone. There is obvious favortism here.

I was told it was "by law" that 30 minutes needed to be taken out of my pay each day if I work more than 6 hours. Obviously, by law you need to take a 30 minute break for every 6 hours worked and sometimes I don't get that break but it is still being taken out of my time card every day. I work 3pm-11pm by myself....tell me, how am i supposed to be getting a break? Is it true that the managers should not even be touching my time card?? Changing hours, etc. Shouldn't we be "clocking out' for break and then clocking back in after we're done? From what I understand no one is to touch your time card or make any changes.

Okay, i have an interview tomorrow but im kinda nervous and not sure if im ready to go so soon. They said i could reschedule if I can't come in tomorrow, but will that hurt my chances of getting the job? I really need it but Im not sure I'll be ready by tomorrow...AND i don't have much experience, well, actually, this would be my first real job. Should I do a resume anyway? They said bring one if I have one but its pretty much okay if I dont. Thanks:)

I don't linke the computer industry and haven't found any personal interested in what my company is making and what is the industry is heading to. I had a degree in electrical engineer, but never enjoyed my classes. After working as a engineer for half an year, I quickly switched to hightech sales. However, the companies i worked were all started ups and I had horrible experiences with the micromanagement type enviroment. I got very stressed out from work, and go home with bad tempers. My husband suggested me to pursue a different career cz it is not worth to stay somewhere I am not happy at all. I always like and have great patient with children, and think preschool teacher will be a great career for me. However, from the research I've done, the job incentives are not very high. I am hoping after a few years, I can start my own day care. Is there anyone has experience starting their own day care center? Do you think i am taking a risk switching from high paid job to a low paid one?

I want to help people get control of their finances. I think the best way to do this would be working with a nonprofit agency((open to other suggestions)). BUT I can't find any! I am willing to do this as a volunteer. FYI: I live in South Florida so something down here would be good.

People are celebrating when some coworkers were fired.. saying it out loud. even when the girl called to ask about what possesions she had left..this guy said FIRED!!~!! and laughed.

By the way we are all temp workers.

All my coworkers using profanity all the time, sexual comments and 2 of them are into hip hop and put the music to hip hop all the time even if one of us have put it in another station.

And then they starting now playing around with rubberbands, shooting them at eachother. These are 20+ year olds, by the way.

I'm not gonna be the one educating them so i say nothing but it bothers me and with the noise, and horsing around i can't concentrate or do my job.

The boss/supervisor we have..uhhhmm... NEVER there. so she doesn't even supervise. She's always in meetings and doing legal stuff since she is manager of a mental health residential place.

should i talk to the temp agency and tell or tell the boss or suck it up? temp agency says we should act Proffesiol but

My job is only part time, and I get paid minimum wage. However, as I am only a teenager, I figure that at least I'm lucky to have a job right before the start of summer, only,I didn't go into work yesterday. Not on purpose, though. I don't even know if I had work since I entered the date and time in to my cellphone as an allday event, so I'm not sure if I really did miss work, or if I have to go in today. It's one or the other.

My boss doesn't like his employee's to be late since it's a small family business, so I'm a bit worried about what to do since wednesdays are normally busy, and if I did have to go in yesterday but didn't, than he'll be even more upset.

Can anybody give me advice on what to do, or say, to my boss if it turns out that I did miss work, and maybe a subtle way to find out whether or not I did miss it before I go in to work today? Thanks!
