I was with the same company for 8 years, division for 5, position for 3, store for 18 months.

Due to an incompetant supervisor, an open workman's comp claim, failure on the part of upper managment to do anything with the supervisor..... I walked off the job today. Keys, timecard, everything left behind. Situation had been unbearable for the past year and a half.

I am looking to get out of the retail industry.... should I put "hostile work environment" or should I say "medically unable to meet positions demands"?

Friends of relatives would like me to design their business website. Do I have to go to the city hall and open/declare myself as a business?

I am not planning to go freelance full time, but would just like to earn some money on the side.

Also, what about taxes?

Is it required to provide your Social Security number on job applications? I usually put it on there, but if I had the option, I wouldn't.

So here's the thing...Toys R Us hired me on May 29... and today is June 17 and I haven't worked a single day yet. Heck, I haven't even been trained yet. After they do get me trained, it will officially have been a month since they hired me to actually get me on the job. They always say they'll call me and they never do. Once I was helping my bf do some yard work and they called me (the only time they ever did call me) to come in for orientation. I stop what I was doing, drove home (which is 30 minutes away), took a shower and got cleaned up, drove to Toys R Us (which is 10 minutes away), signed papers for 15 minutes, and then went home... So much for "orientation". They say they need me really bad... but they're not doing anything.
Anyway, my old job offered me a good deal yesterday and I decided to take it... I will start working at the end of this week. So I need to quit Toys R Us... but the thing is I haven't even worked there yet and I don't know what I am supposed to do. Help me!

This happened in California. The boss had been sending man to drive boss' wife on personal errands on company time. Man said no to boss several times. Boss keeps asking, and wife keeps contacting man, calls on cell phone, showing up at man's home. Harassment is of sexual nature. Man contacts corp. about it after a few weeks. That same day, boss says man is "released" and position is eliminated. It is also in the 90 probationary period, both boss and man were just hired about a month ago. Does the man have cause for wrongful termination? What should be done?

I'm a new restaurant manager, and a non smoker. Help me understand from a smoker's perspective here.

The workers who smoke take 5 to 10 minutes to smoke cigarettes, sometimes more, and I don't have time keep going outside to get them back to work.

So, by taking the additional break time, the cigarette smokers force the non-smokers to cover for them while they are on their unpaid breaks, and they are getting paid for that break time (no way to clock out for less then 30 minutes, and they are not allowed break times if they are working less than 6 hours).

So, here's the questions:

Help me understand your situation. What is it like to go without cigarettes and why should we give you a few minutes to smoke unpaid?
Do you realize that means that non-smokers have to cover their position and yours?
How can I get my cigarette smokers not to leave to smoke during a rush, and not have to babysit them to get them back to work?

I work with 5 other colleagues in the same job, we all work alone but doing the same job at different times. We work in shifts everyone for 28 hours. Now is my boss calling my colleagues and asking questions about me, how they think I am doing my work. Probably some of them have giving him negative things about me because i need to come and see him about some issues. I dont know about what. But I never work with my colleages we just meet eachother when we change shifts so only our client could make complaints about my work if there are any. Complaints from my colleagues couldnt be about work it only can be their opinion about the 5 minutes they see me. So it would be hear say. Isnt it? I am sure that there are no complaints from clients so do I have to be afraid of my job? Just because some colleagues doesnt like me, he cant judge me for that? Can he?

I'm entering my sophomore year in high school & headed to a private school. The principle wants to know what I want to become so I can start taking special classes to prepare for it (example, I'm going to take a second language but depends what field I want to work in which language will help me the most), and when I reach junior I will be taking pre-college classes which I don't fully understand right now but yeah... I'm not that good at math, I'm better at science, English, and history... I want to make at least 90 thousand a year and I want my job to be secure so I don't have to worry about getting fired. I really want to work with wildlife, like a biologist or something interesting like that because I need a career with minimal paperwork due ADHD, (I cannot sit still, and its pretty hard to concentrate on something that doesn't interest me).
