Careers & Employment - October 2007

All other managers when they have quit, have only given their two weeks notice (some even less) so that they don't have to train the new person, and therefore they will look good. They will look good because the new person will screw up a lot without the proper training, and everyone will be like, oh remember how smooth everything was going when so and so (the person who quit) was manager?
So anyway, should I do the same thing, OR should I give a month notice, so they can spend 2 weeks finding a replacement, and spend 2 weeks training them.

I quit because my job was given to another person & I was "given" a new job I hated. It was me and 11 2 year olds. Needless to say I was slightly out numbered and I didn't like the odds. I was scared to death that someone would get hurt.

I just got fired today. the manager said i threw paper at him, which was not at all true. The company never even asked if i did it or not. i was going to try and give me side but when i went into the office i already saw my check on the table so i felt it would be pointless. when i put the paper on his desk he even asked me if i wanted a copy. thats not something you would say to someone who just threw something at you. also i was fired about 2 or more after this alleged incident took place. the manager never even said anything to me about it until he said i was fired. this was at-will employment but what options do i have? i know if i said he touched my penis in the restroom they wouldn't just fire him, they would atleast ask him about the acquisation. any ideas would be apprcated.

I worked at the same place for 2 half years. I quit and now they asked me to come back my only problem is I'm worried she's going to try and screw me out of the raises that i had before and start me back out really low. Can they do this?? My husband says if she wont let me i just need to take the paycut and get over it but i really don't think it would be fair I' haven't worked there in just 4 months. How do i avoid all this? And if I don't like what money she is willing to give me what do i say??

I wouldn't start the new job until after I have my baby and finish maternity leave, because it's full time and right now I work part time, so I wouldn't start until June 2008. I told the new potential employer I want to take the position, but how often should I contact them, he said we'll stay in touch, I called him last a couple weeks ago, I see him on a regular basis because he works with my company, should I wait for him to call me next. I just don't know cause it's so far off.

Or if it is money, why?

I didn't even try to look for a summer job until I was 17 and 18 and then again (more seriously at age 20 after I graduated and had some college).

My point is, at those ages I wasn't motivated to do it even though in my state you can get a summer job at 14, with a worker's permit and parent's permission.

It was a plumbing apprenticeship from which I was told 2 weeks prior to being let go that I was doing fine. I think coming into winter they did not have enough work, but they said it was because I wasn't learning fast enough.

I have a job interview next week. I want to find out more about the job first because the last few interviews I have been on have been a TOTAL waste of time and gas.I really should have asked more questions.I want to know what the physical demands of the job are, standing, sitting at a desk, etc., and what amount of time is spent working indoors and outdoors. There is also a minimum level of pay I will accept.But, I do not want to sound difficult. At the same time, I do not want to waste my time or someone else's. Is there a way of phrasing the question, such as, "can you tell me a little more about the job? Will I be at a desk or standing or walking?What percentage of the work day is spent indoors and outdoors?" I looked on the companys website and there is no job description. I looked on job board websites, put in the job title and got different descriptions for the same job from each company.
