Some companies don't care where workers are as long as they get the job done. Imagine a work world with no commute, no corporate headquarters and perhaps not even an office in the physical world at all.

▼ I would love it, I get more done because of the lack of interruptions, and constant telemarketer phone calls. I know my boss wouldn't go for it, but I could see it happening in the near future, but just how hard will most employees work? ▼

What does it mean to be in the field of costomer service? or a regional staff member? I wondered if cashier and bagging fell under costomer service. If you have any suggestions for good places to work, stores not cities/states/countries, I'd be happy to hear of some, as long as you didn't have to go through college to get them.

A career that involves math. I know I'm only 13 but I want to get an idea of what I want to do. I'm smart, and am in honors math and like doing it. I also like psychology, but I know those two don't really go together. If they could go together, could you tell me what career involves both? Thanks.

I live in MA and wondering who qualifies for unemployment benefits/pay? I thought it was just for people that were laid off from their jobs, or when their company went out of business. But some say you can still collect if you were fired from a job. Does anyone know the guidelines? or who can NOT collect.

I hate the working environment of me job I started last week, there is swearing and other things I do not like. I am too scared to confront my manager to quit since he might make a big show out of it. I work tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, then all next week off, then back to work Saturday and Sunday. If I mail him a letter before I go to work Friday, he should get the letter by Tuesday, saying I quit effective immediately. Then he has 5 days to find a replacement for my shifts that weekend. That work?

All right here's a little about me first. I am 21 years old with no college degree (1 full year though), 1 daughter (just turned 1 year old) and a wife of 2 mths. I just left Wal-Mart because they pay highschool wages for everyone and have two jobs being offered to me at the moment. One would start next Tuesday which is Procter & Gamble. (The distributor of your toothe paiste and body ointments) I'd be driving a forklift loading semi's and what not started at $12 an hour with possible 50Cent raises every 90 days for first year. Offer number 2 is FerrellGas. Here i'd be delivering propane around town putting my class B CDL to good use. They'd start out at 12.50 an hour and raise who knows when. P&G is full time Ferrellgas is part. I am currently taking 2 classes in college and both jobs would work around them. What should i do?? I'm leaning towards deliveryman (outside work, work 8-4 M-F) Where as P&G 2p.m.-10p.m. sometimes Sat. and Sundays. What should i do??

In April 2007 I applied for a job in Texas and I live in Michigan. I was interviewed by human resource, manager, senior manager and a co-worker. All the phone interview went well and the senior manager asked me to come on my expense for the interview I told him thats not possible since at that time I didn't have funds. The trip would of cost me $1000 and no guarantee of a job he said there were 4 people on last stage. Then I never hear from him nor I called them because I knew there answer. Then in May I get a call from HR calling the job has changed to higher position for which i'm not qualified. I see the job opened again in August I found that from the manager when I applied him and he told me to apply on website and yes another position opened. I applied on Aug 27 on the company website and have not heard from them. I'm really interested in this job and willing now to take the chance and pay but I also feel I found so desperate.

A new super came in moments after a co-worker ran out of the room all upset about something. Her friend was right behind her. Super "where is everyone" I said "J" got all upset about something a ran out and "Y" chased after her, so me a super twiddling thumbs they did not come back for 45 mins. Next Day "J" rips me a new one for saying she left upset. Duh... I was being nice, I gave a good reason why she was not there, not, I don't know, which would make her look bad. These work place drama queens drive me crazy. We recently had someone else fired for work place aggression. I have plenty of stories, not enough time.
