I do have an opportunity to take a year of sabbatical, during which time I hope she'll demonstrate her lousy work ethic and terrible interpersonal skills and get fired.

I love my job and would miss it, not to mention losing that money, but I just don't know how I could face her each day without strangling her.

What do you think I should do?

I've working as a bus girl for this job for almost a year. You'd think the barriers of being shy would slowly fade away, but I still tend to get nervous and give off this awkward impression and now that I'm going to work as a waitress that level just increases to a 'woah' standard. Sheesh, anybody have some way to cool down my apprehension for this? Oh my, how I pray everything turns our for the best.

I can really use someones help on this matter. I was hired at this company. The company offered me more money an hour than the employees are making that have been there alot longer than me. I am alot older than most of them. I have more work experience than they do, but I am still learning the job. It's been awhile since I did this kind of work, so I am much slower than they are too. I know what most of you will say, but right now its not an option. Jobs are hard to come by in my location, so I take what I can get. I don't want to cause any problems with my fellow employees, I have alot of undue stress in my life right now. I don't need anymore. Any help will be taken into consideration...thanks

Someone with a college degree and some experience (about one year) may find it extremely difficult to find a decent job (especially in the field of science/engineering). Besides temp agencies that assign you to do office work, what other options are there for help in finding employment? Is there someone you can pay to help you put together your resume and then send it out and find work? Thanks.

I had an interview (phone interview) scheduled for June 4th. She didn't call and after an hour, I called to leave her a message and emailed her at work. She emailed replying that she thought the date was June 11th and said that she'd call to reschedule. A week went by and I emailed asking if the position had been filled. She said no and that she wanted "very much to talk with me" - 'Would I still be available for an interview"? I said yes, but haven't heard anything from her in three days. What should be my next step? Should I forget working for someone who has scheduling conflicts? If she wanted to put me off and not interview me, why say did she wanted to to interview me after a week of no contact?

I was going to be an Egyptologist, then a vet, then a cop, then a beach bar owner, then a chef, then a sailor among many other things. I'm 25 and getting nowhere. So, how do you pick a profession when you want to do a little bit of everything or just lose interest?

I am approaching the age in life where you have to start thinking long term. I have worked my way through college, and have been working two jobs for the past 7 years. It is really hard to decide what it is I actually want to do with my life. I would like to find a rewarding career that I will enjoy, but how are you to know if you will enjoy it until you get a taste of it. I have been in the graphics art field for the past 5 years, but recently gave it up due to the company not having benefits. I would like to find a company that I can grow in and have a future with. I am presently living in Montgomery, AL but am willing to relocate if the opportunity is there. I am a dedicated person who strives to do the best job possible. I am quick to learn, and work well with others. I tend to be a people person, so I enjoy working with the public. If anyone know of anything, please let me know. I can email of fax a copy of my resume' for your review.

Thanks, Daniel

I was hired to be the salaried office manager of a small, busy construction office in Chicago, IL. I have also become the HR director, the receptionist and at the moment, the accountant. One of the guys in the office is dumping a lot of work on me which severely limits my capacity to tend to my original and additional duties. I don't have time for breaks and barely have time for lunch. The boss said I have to help him. This guy yells at me, swears at me and constantly belittles me. He also yells at everyone else in the office, telling them what their job is and how to do it. I complained to the boss and the guy stopped swearing at me, but that's all that's stopped. I have been bringing work home nights and weekends, yet I get yelled at for not getting all the work done and have to deal with upset customers and coworkers because I don't have time to do anything for them. I have 3 kids at home and I'm having a hard time finding another job that pays decent. What can I do?

I am currently involved in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. I recieved a promotion at my ex-employers and was subsequently dismissed (by someone who told me they were my boss, not the CEO of the corporation (the CEO that hired me) within 4 weeks of the promotion. My dismissal was also excused with the adage: this is was on a trial basis'. I have worked for the company for over a year and filed no 'new position' paperwork indicating I was in a 'new job'. My case also has several other strong points behind it, which I will not get into, but I have been told by lawyers already it is rock solid. What I need to know is that, does the '90 day trial period' law that allows summary dismissal for a new hire, apply to a 'promotion' within the same company? I've never heard of this being practiced before but I want to find out as much as possible before paying a lawyers consultation fee. Any help is appreciated. Thank you,

I work for a fairly large company and my superior is extremely messy. He is constantly losing things and always has huge piles of paper all over his office - on the desk, the floor, the chairs...everywhere. Unfortunately, doing my job well depends on being able to find specific documents quickly and efficiently, something I cannot do because of his disorganization. His superiors don't seem to notice and, if they have said anything to him, I can't see they he has made any improvements. If anything, the matter just keeps getting worse. This situation has gotten to the point that I dread going in to work (even though I love my job). What should I do? Do I keep my mouth shut and put up with it? Talk to his superiors? Look for a new job? My patience is running thin.

I currently have an office job and I don't like it. I have a degree in Baking/Pastry and am a freelance wedding cake designer. was offered an AMAZING pastry cook position at a very reputable wedding facility. The exec. chef told me that I would bake and plate desserts, but if I didn't like it, I could solely bake or plate. Also, he would find me another job at one of their other facilties if I didn't like this one. I could also help make their wedding cakes.
The problem is that he said that the pay is probably around $10.50/hour. I honestly can't afford take a job lower than $15.00/hour. But it's such a great opportunity! Is there something I can do? Are there any places or jobs I can get in NJ like this that would actually pay a decent amount?
Thanks for your help!

Based on a 40 hour work week I am making about $13 per hour. But I have already put in over 45 hours this week and they want me to work today too. I am exhausted and feel like I'm being taken advantage of. This company never mentioned to me that I would be working more than 40 hours a week for this cheap salary. Can they do this?

Is it legal for a company to make you stay 9 hrs, but only pay you for 8 hrs because they dont pay for my 1 hour lunch? This is the only company i worked for and heard of that does this. Everywhere else you go, you get paid 9-5, or what ever the schedule is, for 8 hrs. And most companies will pay for your lunch weather its 30 min, or an hour. 1 hr a day is about 260 lost hours in a year. I work In NJ. Any help is appreciated.
