I have found a better job and I would like to give my current employer my two-week notice. I have been told it is more professional to write a letter than to just tell the employer in person. What should I include in this letter?

Okay so I worked at Little Caesars a while back. I've been calling since july to ask about my paycheck. I quit in June. We called and they said the manager has left on disability. My mom says she has a feeling that they did not turn in my time card. Is there any other way I could prove that I worked the two days that I did? Or is it possible for them to just get off the hook of paying me? Thank you

I am about to start my first year of law school and have been thinking of becoming an entertainment lawyer. Apart from core subjects, which electives or areas are good to choose? I reckon typical choices would be Family, Insurance, Employment laws. Will acquisition or commercial or property or criminal law be helpful?

Just got an email from an interviewer regarding a paper i submitted so support my application for a teaching job. She said that "she could see a lot of effort was put in to make it attractive and meaningful." She added that she would "make my recommendation to the director. HR will be in touch soon."

I don't know what to make of it? Does it sound positive to you?

I've been working at my job for almost a year.

Every year we have 10 FED (sick days) & 10 vacation days. I had a bad flu this year, yet i had a doctor's note to prove it. They counted it in my 10 FED days. then a couple other times i tried to get time off by useing my vacation days but they wouldn't let me so there goes the rest of my FED days.

I still have 10 vacation days but when i asked to use them MONTHS PRIOR i get a "No" or a stupid excuse.

I have a friend coming from the UK and want to take off just 2 days to go visit her. I haven't seen her in years. Of course, they would not let me use my vacation days. They told me i NEED a doctor's note. I'm not surprised.

I was just wondering if there's any way for me to somehow get time off work? any excuse? pretend i'm sick and get a doctor's note? Sorry, i'm determined. =P

Of course, this job isn't my career and i'm just saving up for University.

I can understand if one is performing below expectations, but what is the reasoning behind a verbal warning for not exceeding the expectations? I understand that for many, exceeding the expectations is a goal, but for others, the bare minimum level of accepted performance is just fine? Is there an ulterior motive by management for that employee? Is it a sign that management cares enough to use a tactic such as this to strongly suggest that the employee make an impression for some plans for advancement? Or is it management taking advantage of an ambitious employee? Your thoughts are appreciated.

I'm thinking of going to law school. My undergrad is in accounting and I really enjoy accounting and taxation. I'm working at a larger law firm now, but am unsure of the enviroment due to all the egos. Also, everyone keeps advising against law school. I do not come from a professional family and would be doing this without many personal connections. HELP

I'm looking for work and also use the computer to job search. Is it just me, or have the job ads been disappearing? There are hardly any new ones. And now when a lot of people are going back to school and leaving jobs there should be more. Is the stock market crisis to blame?

So, I cheated on this exam today. I got away with it, and what a rewarding feeling! I can run a few more laps and enjoy a well deserved brewskie!
Are there any legal consequences beyond being expelled in for cheating on exams in Uni?
Ahhh, the rewards. I feel for the poor suckers who actually studied, whilst I was enjoying vintage wine and beer and actually enjoying LIFE, whilst the suckers had their noggin in some stupid book...

I am desperate to move out of this job, working in a bank where I'm exploited, I have a bachelor's degree but can't seem to move past the assistant position. I want to quit because I hate coming here everyday...I feel miserable. I want to move into nursing, but don't know how. Does it make sense to work in a hospital as an admin/clerical position untill I become a nurse? Is that crazy? Please help. I can't take one more day here.

In my job, I am the "Office Manager", which includes the usual. But lately I have been so put down in snide ways, like my boss saying "You're so young and immature, you just don't know what you're doing yet." I have been here nearly half a year, and have messed up NOTHING. They have also had me cold calling businesses, and working manually in 100+ degree weather. Is this something I should actually be upset about or am I just being, ahem, "immature"?

After 5 years my job was cut due to decreasing enrollment, and I have been the finalist on many other interviews over the summer, but now school is starting and I still do not have a job. I went back to school after being in construction, and have my Master's in Education and my Bachelor's in History, but decided to use my brain instead of my back too support my family. I'm not afraid of doing the hard work again, but I grew to love teaching more.

Is there anything out there that a guy with my qualifications can do for work and get benefits for my family while living in Connecticut?
