Careers & Employment - September 2007

I'm an extremely good worker, although maybe a little assertive at times. My manager used to be really nice, but now, she bitches at me anytime I approach her. Twice in the last 2 days, I approached her for something I could only ask her, and no other worker, and she yelled at me, saying HELLO, go ask someone else (this isnt something I can ask any other manager or should know myself).

I got so mad today that I got a headache, and told her I had to leave a few hrs early.

Sheesh...why do bosses think they can humiliate workers, and in front of others? I wasnt trying to annoy her, and she didnt seem busy!

I already have a job, but the position does not offer me benefits, and there is an extremely small chance of advancement. I could move laterally, but upward mobility is highly unlikely.

I know the obvious things like not conducting the job search using the company computers, don't save the materials onto the computer at work, conduct phone calls discreetly or outside, don't give the contact info as your work email/number, try to take time off or be discreet if interviewing, etc. Any other hints?

Ok, so I started a job as a Food Service Supervisor at a Hospital about 6 months ago. I started off supervising the trayline and the union workers suck. I was moved to the production side of things working with a chef that has no idea what he's doing. My boss is expecting me to be creative and develop my job, while doing all the extra projects she may need done. Along with doing what the chef asks me to do and if they need to use me back over on trayline, she can change my schedule at any time. Over the past couple months I haven't even had a set schedule. Sometimes I have to be in as early at 5:30 am and other days not till 9am, its messing up my sleep cycle. I'm miserable and now feel stuck, cuz I am not getting paid for the added responsibilities.
I make about 36K and benefits are good. But, I did a salary search for Production Supervisors in Food Service at Hospitals with 500+ beds and I should be making at least 50K.
What gives???

What would you do?

your "boss" found negatives to weigh against you in a review to keep from rewarding you as much as you truly deserve?

as an administrative assistant, you enjoy what you do, but you don't really know the options for advancement or promotion, let us say for example, you are already at the top level and top of your pay scale

Since the IT field is not the same as it once was around 1999, what fields should I consider going into? I am sick of the games in the IT field especially with job recruiters and their jive. I pretty much had my heart set on a career in IT until it dried up. At 35, I feel lost. Should I go back to grad school and accumulate more debt?

During my down time (after hours) and on my days off or in between jobs I have to p/u & d/o his laundry. purchase and cash in his instant lottery tickets. p/u and deliver his food. so on and so on (lottery tickets in excess of $1,000 a week. If I do not do it in a timely fashion or complain he makes me miserable at work and gives me all the garbage jobs to punish me. I know I can always quit and get another job but I need the money and I like my real job minus the slave stuff. Is there legal action I can take because I am now being punished for taking to long to cash in $1,800 in lottery tickets and would like to sue if possible.

Started in a job 4 months ago on probation term.

The probation term was for 3 months. This was extended by 5 days because I was authorised to take a week's holiday.

I was only told the probation period would be extended verbally - this was never confirmed in print.

My probation finished on September 18th (originally supposed to be the 11th). On the day, I wasn't told anything. When I asked what was going on, a letter was given to me advising that it had been extended by another week. There was no explanation as to why in the letter other than to say they wanted to continue assessing the role. When I asked why, I was told that I couldn't be given a reason!

The following week I was told I didn't have the job as it was felt I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure. This had never been mentioned before and I am now out of a job. I was given a letter that just said my employment was terminated - no reason is given.

Is this all legal? What are my rights?

Thanks

I started a new job 2 weeks ago and was told by my employer that it was a monthly salaried position. At the end of month he refused to pay me anything saying I was only there 2 weeks and he wanted me to work a lying fortnight! He would pay me a months salary at the end of Oct but withhold the 2 weeks until such times as I left. I thought that conditions such as this had to be stated upon taking up the job and not just because its pay day and he decided not to pay me for my 2 weeks. What can I do about the situation.

i can't say that i'm thrilled about the idea of working, but i guess it has to be done since i'm not wealthy. i just don't want to end up in a high paying job that i hate.

if i have to work i mighy as well enjoy what i do, right? i have an english b.a. but don't really want to become a teacher. those little tests on the internet that are suppose to help find a job/s that fits your personailty differ from one to the next.

HOW CAN I FIND A JOB THAT I'LL ENJOY; good money doens't hurt but i'd rather enjoy going to work than being miserable.

I work interdepartmentally (is that a word? :-)) as a Technology sales associate and a print specialist in a Retail store (Office Depot). I have only Retail experience going for me right now. My desire is to get out of Retail and get a Clerical job. A desk job, basically. One of those jobs that most people consider to be 'boring', where you sit behind a desk all day and deal with paperwork or whatever. That's fine with me. I don't have a good phone voice and I'm terrible with answering phones, so definitely not 'administrative'. I'm good with computers. I don't have any specific training other than classes I took in high school. I didn't go to college after high school, because I'm simply not interested in it. I'd rather work my way up, regardless of what this and that person thinks I should do; and most people do the "you should go to college!" comment.

I'm simply look for an Entry-Level Clerical job where I don't have to answer phones and such. What's the best way to find these?
