I work at a daycare center. Within the past two weeks we have had our normal hour lunch cut down twice. The first time all staff was only allotted 20 minutes for lunch, and that day most of us worked 9 hours, and then again today we were allotted 45 minutes. With this job we have no other breaks during the day and here over the past few weeks the normal end of the day is at least an hour past your scheduled time.
Are there specific guidelines to the length of time that you are to be given for a lunch break in the state of pennsylvania???

I live in Florida which is a "right to work" state. This means anyone can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. I am considering two jobs; one is union with British Airways and one with a Real Estate company posting their rental listings on the web.

The airline pays $12.75/hr plus bonuses up to $200 a month and is close to my home working in an inbound call center taking or changing reservations. It is union which one has to pay dues for, though I don't know how much that costs is or what benefit it gives.

The real estate office if further from my home paying $12.00/hr in a more intimate setting, hosting photos and descriptions of rental properties, which I think I would better enjoy.

The real estate company could fire me at anytime by our state laws, but I'm not sure that the airline could without just cause, being union. At the same time, in a union the last to be hired is the first to be laid-off.

I will give 5 stars to any union or former union employee to assist me.

My wife just finished having her annual review and her boss refused her a raise because she already had a small increase in wages after her probation period was finished (first three months.) so even though its been a year since she was hired its only been 9 months since her last raise. Does this sound alright? I didn't know what to tell her.

I just got laid off from a $20 an hour job, wondering wether or not to go back to school and try to get out of workin labor and union jobs, but if i went back to school, I am not even sure what I would go into it. I am 24 years old and have responsibilities such as my apt, and other bills. I have no continued education and fear its too late to go back, and I am just seeking some opinions or something, maybe a 2 year technical school? I dont know, I worked with cars since I was 16 and gave that up, got into assembling Mining trucks and loved it but I cant deal with the constant lay offs. Can anyone share their experience or advice?

I am 18 years old, and I applied today for a Perkins resturant. The particular resturant, has a "help wanted" sign up. I filled out the application, and put in my correct information. I handed the application to an employee, behind the counter. They said that they will call me, in about 10 days. I applied to be a busboy (a person who cleans off the tables).

What are the chances, of me getting a job interview?

I am 25 years old. Yes, probably too old to have a mentor but I guess I need a guide. A life guide. I don't really want to pay to see a shrink, I just want to have a little help from someone if I can. Someone who would like to share life stories and wisdom that they have. You see, I'm having trouble finding a job that I enjoy. I've read through books, gone to college, (didn't graduate though) and listened to friends and family give advice. Nothing's helped. Hopefully someone in cyberland will share something that will just click with me.

I have a mid-level career and have always asked for time off with pretty much the understanding that it will be granted unless something catastrophic would happen. If I am leaving early for the day, I advise as opposed to asking. When I go on vacation and ask for the time off, I always thought that was a sign of respect for my boss and also the department needs. However, recently I read an article on Yahoo stating that you shouldn't ask for time off, but advise. The article stated that asking was too child-like, and that as adults, we need to advise. Which is correct? I am in my late twenties and don't want to be making a professional faux pas. I am also starting a new position at a new company and don't want to start off on the wrong foot. What do you think?

Hi, I work for a small business company.
I am going back to school this year - I will be a Student-at-Large this semester (meaning I am not seeking degree). I am taking Fiction writing Class.
Now, I am thinking to approach my boss - and ask if he would reimburse my tuition.
What are the general rules / requirements / laws on that? (if there are any).
Is Educational Assistance governed by nay employment laws/ regulations?
p.s. my co-worker, who is pursuing a MBA has her tuition reimbursed. but because we're so small and lax around here, she never got any Written Agreement with the employer. -- I do not want to follow into those steps.
What do I do?
What questions should I ask? What should I agree to?
Do I even qualify ( being an "irregular student" enrolled in a Fiction Writing Class)?!
Please, Help!
Thank you.

Ok, so I really wanted this job at a truck stop (yes, I know, it's not glamorous but I needed a job!). I filled out an application, got 2 interviews, and then the lady who interviewed me told me to call her in a week if she hadn't called me already because it looked like I was really going to get the job.
I called her and she started beating around the bush telling me "oh, I need to finish my interviews and oh, i'm waiting for the office to call me" and so forth.
I've been turned down like this before, so my question is, why don't they just tell you that you're unqualified or they found someone else instead of just beating around the bush and playing guessing games?! Is there anything I can say to them?

I was contacted by a guy who said his name was Cristian Little and contacting me for his company. He said it was for an at home job that paid about 2,000 a month and that if I was intrested, they would provide paid training, all I have to do is have a bank of america account. I've heard of at home work scames, but will they contact me through a career website?
