A somewhat trivial question perhaps but i would like to have your opinion...

I have a former employee that left to try another work. As he did this he parted with telling everyone how good it should be to leave since he was tired of the work and that he was generally not pleased with how things had developed for him the last six months. After being at his new work for only four weeks he phoned me and was very regretful. He had gained insight (according to himself) that his old job was much better than he had believed. I met him to judge his sincerity, and I think he really menas it. So... I need someone like him and have a place for him, BUT what would you do?

at my work and I am very nervous as he is a very rude man. I never talk about how I feel and usually just do as I'm told. Today I've had enough of this. Can anyone please give me some advise as how to go about this. I don't want this ending up in a fight. Thanks.

When you get cases like

Some guy sends his girlfriend a sexy email, or she sends one to him etc and it accidently gets broadcast ie send to all etc.


Why sack, suspend or even give a rats ***?

So they are in a couple and in love and mentioned what they are doing later tonight.

Surely a sign of a happy stable life outside work which should mean a less stressed employee better able to work.


So if things like this hit the news why does the boss just say to the press.


Oh grow up and get a life at least they have more of a life then you. Have you not got anthing better to care about like the war in Iraq, the flood victems or how young single pople cant afford homes.


As for should be working.

Emmn how lone did it take to read a 3 paragraph emial? 1 minute? half? like that weill make a difference... most likly perk them up like a dose of red bull.


As for embarrasing the company, give over like most married couples dont have a sex life, who cares.

why doesn't everyone join unions then have them campaign for wages to be linked to house price rises?

Every time house prices rise those without a house/mortage are effectively having a massive wage cut so surely wages should be measured in 'percentage of the average house price'


And all getting togther to force this union wise and restore final salary pensions.


As that way the workers get their fair pay for fair work not bosses in coccaine, prostitues and other luxuries they dont need

It's getting time for me to get into college and I'm not 100% sure of what I want to be. I want to do a job that has to do with cars but I cant find any that are even worth going to college. The most an Automotive technitian gets is 30k Mechanical engineers get about the same though i dont know if they even have to do with cars, and Automotive engineers I've never actually heard of them just a clever name I thought a career would be given. So If yall could list the best car related jobs that pay a whole bunch of money it would be greatly appreciated

How tiny are you that you feel the need to get minimum wage schmucks in trouble for being less than ideal in an imperfect world? I wish that you had real problems so that you wouldn't feel that you were some sort of crusader when it came to sticking it to the cashier for either not kissing your butt enough or not having complete control over a chain of stores or whatever the hell your problem is as you're basking in the consumerist utopia of a developed nation, you ugly, entitled, pompous, ignorant, oblivious, capitalist running dog drowning in your excess.

I really hate my goddamn job. The boss is overworking and underpaying us. Our office is understaffed, I've had to cover for the boss' son & daughter in law who never show up, there's a position that's always empty cuz no one can stand to work for the person in it, no raises have been given to anyone in over a year and a half even though we've all complained. I've tried looking for other work, but no dice yet. Been here four long brutal years...enough is enough! I want to up and leave, even though I won't get unemployment for quitting instead of getting fired. But I don' t want to get fired cuz it'll look bad on a resume...what to do? I'd rather be poor than put up with this crap anymore...even though it'll mean swearing off booze and whores for a while! Haha.

I hold a BS in Mathematics, and am currently a grad student studying Statistics.
My question is: Is there anyone who works in financial management, or budget analysis, and can tell me how much statistical methods are used on your projects at work?

Or, if you use statistical methods at work, but you are not in financial management, please let me know what type of work you do.

I work as a janitor. My work hours is 3:00 p0m to 12:00 am Monday thru Friday and 9:00am to 12:00 pm Saturday. I was receiving overtime for Saturday four hrs. Now my employer notified me that I will have to shorten my hours so that a total of 40 hrs. will cover Saturday. Is it legal to cut my hour during the week so that I can work Saturday to equal 40 hrs. and six days a week?

If you had an interview would you ask how much they planned on paying you before you took the job, or is that rude?

im 16 and for the past month or so i have worked at chuck e cheese. i applied to a whole bunch of clothing stores as well as jewel. i really hoped something would come up, and when CEC called i jumped at the opportunity to earn cash and to start being more independent. its not that i dont like the job--the people are amazing and the kids are so cute! but one manager i cant stand, i work between 6 and 8 hour shifts--ususlly closing--and i usually work 4 or 5 days a week for $7 and hour. and if they say im getting off at 10, its usually 10:30 or 11. i never get off on time. then osco (jewel) called me in for an interview. they are offering flexible hours and $7.55 and hour....and evening shifts from 5-10 getting off at 10. id be stocking shelves and computer work and other stuff..not bad right? so do i stay at CEC or go next door to osco? again! CEC isnt a bad place but i dont know what to do? my best friend says its a new experience and not to think of it as giving up. help? ♥

there is an older guy at work i found attractive but thought was rude, so avoided him. i decided to win him over because i do have to work with him sometimes. i am a very friendly, open person in general and NEVER crossed the line. we never touched remotely, were never close in proximity, or talked about anything to do with dating. i am generally a good girl who just wants to be cool with people. i do not wear revealing clothes at my job, yet he was always checking out my boobs, in an obvious way, which made me uncomfy, so i always crossed my arms in fact. one day he started saying hi and since we joke around, on my break, i went up and said hi at his cubicle. i was like i just came to say hi and he says, "hi" obnoxiously. i told him he was giving me a mean look and he starts babbling about the color printer. i get curt and leave, embarassed and annoyed at how arrogant he was towards me. i have been ignoring him and now he always stared at me (non-sexually) and holds the door open?

I went to an a job interview for a job, and the man insinuated that I pretty much had the job, since I have some recommendations from other people who work there (his managers). He didn't make an offer, though. He said we should meet with his boss to increase the chances of a higher salary for me than we he had budgeted.
During the next 3 week, I contacted him two times via e-mail. He answered after the second e-mail, apologized for not answering earlier. He told me to tell him which day of this week worked for me to meet with his boss. I answered, but he has not replied. It's almost the end of the week. Should I contact him via phone to increase chances of meeting tomorrow? Or should I just "wait it out"? I don't want to look desperate (I'm not), but also don't want to show lack of initiative.

Anyone work miracles?
She's been here 10 months and most training hasn't clicked for her (basic office /computer /phones) She is mostly reliable on phones and some filing but the rest is a crap shoot. The boss said she can stay so I have to find the silver lining or miracle. Anyone got any tips? Ideas? Has anyone been able to turn a similar situation around? I have tried several different angles, types of training, styles, reference material, etc. but it's barely penetrated. At 10 months here she's somewhere around where I thought she'd be at 3 months. I'm hoping you people can help me out. Thank you!!!

I work for a big, professional company and we're expected to dress appropriately. I have a co worker who wears little tank tops and tight pants all the time. Today she showed up in a little lacy tank top that shows off her entire bra, not to mention the material is so thin that you can see EVERYTHING. It's white and lacy and she isn't even bothering to cover it up. She looks like a streetwalker. It sounds really petty but this girl thinks that she can get away with everything, all she does all day is surf the web and talk on her cell phone.

What should I do?
