Careers & Employment - September 2007

I am extremely unhappy and my workplace. I love the actualy job but I NO longer care for my boss. He used to be really nice but he has developed an attitude lately. It is only the two of us...he runs the shop and I do all the office work. So I'm currently looking for another job. A few people have told me to do waitressing but if i did that i would only be able to do day shifts because I have a child and would need daycare. I have never done it before and it would be a big risk for me. I have bills to pay and am scared to leave my job that I know i will recieve a set pay check. What do you guys think I should do?

I work for a small company...I have a bachelors and my boss (the owner) does not have a college degree. His girlfriends mother died and left her the house, so he sold his house and they had extra money, so he bought a franchise with it...

Anyway, the other week he wrote me an email saying:
"Write the words "FOR YOU" on the post it that I put on the table in the corner".

I can't stop thinking about it and I get soooo angry. Right now I'm foaming at the mouth.

Do you consider that degrading and just wrong?!!!???

I have to take a drug test for a pre-trial program that I am doing Friday morning.

I smoked weed everday for about 3-4 months. I quit on August 13th (the last time I smoked) and today is September 6. I will be going to take the test on September the 7th.

It will have been 25 days on Friday that I have been clean. Should I be worried or not, just by your estimates?

thanks in advance, and yes I have taken this time to stop for good.

I have recently been employed as a manager of a boutique. With the contract signed, stated that termation of employment should be given 1 month notice by either party. After 2 weeks, she hired another person to replace my position and offered me a different position with lesser salary and wanted to redo the agreement she gave to me. But isn't it stated that she should give me 1 month notice? I understand that she wants the best person to run the business coz I had owned a boutique before, but I think this is unprofessional.

I am work four, ten hour shifts, Tuesday through Friday. I love my job and I get a long with the people at work.

Because, they are looking at a supervisor who may quit, they have offered me the postion. The new hours would be Thursday through Sunday. There is a different dynamics of expectations, for me are not as enjoyable, by working the weekend shift. Business are closed down there limited activity. When there is an event I would be responpible to run the entire event, which place me in a gofer boy postion.

The reasons why I am offerred the postiions was because I am I can follow directions and I show up to work. I have office key, so the trust is there. I have no gift I am offer the company at the position and there was not learning challenge for me to take on, the new postion.

The only weenie I am being given is an extra $1.60 per hour and the title. Is this worth it?

I temp for a big company & get asked to come back quite often to be their temp sec. I'm in booking at the moment where I've always known the boss to be offhand (his perm sec has told me). However, he's always been nice to me. He'll say to me, "Don't be nervous to approach me on the phone" & "Let's walk over to the other building together & I'll give you my tape to type". He used to be pretty friendly & just give the occasional tap on the shoulder as his greeting (nothing more than friendly). Sometimes I can see him looking at me at the corner of my eye from another desk. He's complimented me on one occasion how good my typing is. However, I've seen another side to him of late. I went to the toilet & when I got back he had taken my chair, sat on it at another desk (a pet hate of mine) & I was left standing at my desk! It took several minutes for him to give it me back. He was quite curt.

i bought a 2000 alero for 4500 bucks, 4 months ago
well it started having problems in july, i took it to the shop they found the problem and fixed it cost me another 1200 bucks, not to mention the 400 bucks i had already put into it to replace a couple other parts.
now get this one i put not quite 3000 miles on the motor and the other day it blew up threw a rod so now i have to replace the motor in the car at a cost of 2 or 3 thousand more dollars.

the afore mentiond problems were there when i bought the car but i did not know that the mehcanic said they were there and just got worse after i bought the car.

so what course of action can i take towards the dealer that sold me the worthless peice of crap and called it a good car?

the only warenty he gave me was 30 days or 2000 miles whichever comes first, so that meant that after 30 days the warently was worthless right?

and the first of the problems showed up on day 31!

so iam just wondering what i can do ?

i really need income of my own at age 32 its embarrassing to have to depend on mom and dad and what i can make doing odd jobs for people.

i held down a job for 12 yrs but it was the only one i ever had and well losing it devestated me at the time and its taken me a very long time to get up my nerve again to really dive in and try for a job with all my might.

i do have disablity that keeps me from certain types of work.

i have almost finsihed a collage degree and i hope to finish that in the near future.

but how would you suggest i go about things?

Ok, so I have been at this new job for 6 weeks now and having issues with my supervisor. She is very critical of me , today I got a lecture due to a typo in an email I had send to a co-worker in a different department to ask for some info I needed. The typo had no repercussions at all, I typed Claf and meant calf and they CC'ed her in on the reply as she may have needed the info too. While she tells me off about this for a good 15 mins this other girl in our team just sit there surfing bebo.com etc and she doesn’t say anything about her wasting company time!. She is friends with the other girl. I talked to my supervisors manager and all he said was that her ' behaviour was unusual'. This sort of stuff being going on for the 6 weeks I have been there - do I just give up and get a new job?.

I am the accountant/office manager for a very small office (three other employees in the main office, four employees in the field). I also answer the company phone if someone chooses "operator" from the voice mail menu. Every day my boss makes coffee, and he always leaves his cup partway full of cold coffee next to the coffee pot with the leftover coffee in it. He has asked me to always close his window shades at the end of the day (after he's gone) andhe's strongly suggested that it's my duty to clean the coffee pot (which is mine by the way, but that's another story). I do all that he expects, but I feel sort of humiliated?

I am a 43 year old male. Can anyone relate?

I applied for a job yesterday which was introduced by my teacher. She gave me the employer's email address so I sent my resume there. Today, I called the employer and found that she didn't receive my resume. It turned out that my teacher misspelled the email address and my resume was sent to a total stranger!! It includes all my personal information like where I live, my phone number, etc... Is there anything I can do.... I know I don't ...but just asking for any good idea that could make me feel better...

I have been working at a hospital since April and for some reason my boss really seems to hate me and I mean hate me like nothing ever. I have no idea what I have ever done to her, I show up for work on time and often leave late, I have showed up with strep throat, when a family member died. I dont take lunches or breaks. Every day she calls to tell me about something that I have done wrong, even though I do it according to procedure, and when I tell her that, she gets even more infuriated. When other people ask for certain days off, or to work certain shifts she tells them she will work with them. When I ask, she tells me that she cant do it and that I will have to go to a "relief" position. She writes me letters telling me why she disapproves of what I am doing job wise. I have never received proper training, I was just thrust into the job and left to sink or swim, and I do admit that I make mistakes but I learn from them and dont repeat them. What should I do since HR wont help me?
