Careers & Employment - May 2007

I've been at my job for almost 5 years and it has been rough since day 1. I have been constantly placed in situations at work whereas it always conflicted with other co-workers -- and not in a nice way. There are many things going on that shouldn't be and I've already tried going to my boss about it but nothing has been done or said about it. We're talking about Medicaid Fraud/Abuse. Things aren't being done correctly, if not done at all and I got the bulk of most of the work there but the least paid. I feel like I'm a nobody there. The only reason why I've put up with it this long is only for the sake of being employed. But I'm tired of fingers always being pointed at me when things go wrong. I can't get my 70+ yr old boss to understand that. I'm looking for another job now. Being the boss isn't going to do anything about it, I seriously considered reporting whats been going on to the state. But don't know if thats a good idea. I don't know what else to do.

I always have to deal w/ sexual harassment @ the work place. At one job, the manager told me what he was going to do to me the next time I came in. I was 17 at the time. He was grown w/ a girlfriend. She started to treat me bad. I got scared and quit. Thats one experience. It seems I always get harassed. Does this always happen to women?

Well, a job and its salary was offered to me, and I accepted it informally over the phone without negotiating the pay first. After thinking about the salary offered to me after I hung the phone up, I realized that it is quite low after I converted it to dollars per hour. Now, is it alright for me to call them back and ask if I can negotiate the salary since it is quite low for me.

At various times I have to deliver business presentations and once I have got over the first minute or so I am ok.

However in the weeks leading up to the event I worry about it and then in the minutes before I am extremely nervous (I know this is fairly natural).

During the start of a presentation my voice clearly shows the nerves and at my level I don't believe I should worry so much.

Any tips would be great.

I don't want to be a vet (I can't give shots or kill animals or see them die), or a trainer of any sort, and I want to get paid enough to support myself, my 6 pets, and my horse. Also, I don't want to do TOO much more than 4 years of college, I would do a few extra years.

I am in the process of choosing one of these careers, and had a few questions. How many hrs per week and how often you get called in for work during off hrs, are they much different between the two? When time comes around for a family, i'm just concerned with how much time my job can take away from them. thanks a bunch for anyone who can help me out! =)

When working for an airline, does anyone know if only you get to fly for free. Or can you have a friend or girlfriend fly for free, or cheap, as well?

Unfortunately, Mean Boss does not fall under the protected class. How do you take action against your boss and/or when do you take action against your boss? I would like to assume that you could go to the higher boss, but when they are friends I'm sure that that option does not work.

I work at a state university where there is a fairly standard rate of pay and benefits package, however, it is common for employees from one department within my university to be hired by another, which means that the benefits are maintained while income and job descriptions change. Here is my consideration: I work (job1) in a federal grant-funded program where pay does not match work responsibilities on par with the rest of the university, however, the minimum pay rate for a job opening (job 2) in another department for a similar position (but with more reasonable and attainable responsibilities) is slightly more (about $300) per year for one year of experience.
I have 5 years experience in the field and would require little training since I have completed many of these sorts of tasks at another university. Is a change of position worth the effort of applying? Also, another open position (job 3 - assistant dean) pays $7000 more, but the responsibilities look outrageous.

The projects I'm given are more busy work than actual fulfilling tasks. I want to show that I can take on larger roles and be the leader that they hired me to become. I'm ready to take the next step, why does it take so long?

I work with a psychotic girl, she is making me want to quit my job. My boss wanted me to work on a project that she wanted to do. So she talked to the boss and he denied her and granted me the project (reason unknown). Afterwards she was really upset and said she would just get over it. Thought it was over but the next day while the boss was out, she went off on me and said that I took it from her and wanted me to tell him that I didn't want to do it. Crazy right, well the weekend has passed and she is still a problem. Oh, she also had a hissy fit with the boss and I had to move to the back office (we shared an office) not fair she should be the one to move. The boss said it would just be easier for me to, because she may cause more problems. This is going to cause me to have a nervous break down!
