I had my 3rd interview with the District Manager today for the Manager in Training Position at Abercrombie and Fitch. I was wondering if that pretty much tells me that I got the job? My first interview was with the girl I would be replacing(if I got the job), the second was with two store managers, and the 3rd(today) was with the district manager. It's been a month of waiting and interviewing and I just wish they could just tell me I'm hired or not. Has anyone else been in this situation? I wont find out for another week and a half so maybe if anyone else has been through this process, let me know! Thanks!

My co-worker has a spectacular azs. I find myself staring at it all day, especially on Fridays when she wears tight jeans. What can I do?!?! I don't want to get behind in my work, but I also want to look at that gorgeous azs.

I was hired into a company 2 months ago. I was talking to a girl who is a friend and does the exact same job as me, she started telling me that she needed a raise...she said that she believed other people make more then her even though she has been with the company for over 5 years (the industry has high turn around and only our managers have been with the company longer). She then proceeded to tell me how much she made, I was really surprised because she makes 3/4 of what I was hired in at.

I'm not going to tell her I make that much more then her, but how do I encourage her to ask for a raise. She does a great job and deserves a pay raise, but she thinks she can only ask for a small amount when I think she can ask for a lot more...but I can't really tell her that without at least hinting that I make so much more then her.

And of course I signed a nondisclosure agreement so legally I can't tell her how much I make...so what would you do?

I nailed my job interview last week and I was really surprised they turned me down. Is it unethical for me to ask the reason why?

I was hired at a new job a couple of moths ago and I just realized on my paycheck that I am only getting 7.00/hr I found my orientation papers I got when I started and they said I was hired at 7.25/hr Is this legal?Is their anything I can do about this? I told my boss about this and she said it was a mistake the HR lady made and not to worry about it because I would get a raise when my probation period was over Any advise would be very appreciated

This is driving me insane! Sorry... this is a long one.
I already have a job, but through one of the "higher ups" I wastold that it wouldn't be a bad idea to search out a new position elsewhere as there are going to be some lay offs around Christmas.
Being pro- active, I sent out dozens of resumes but was interested in one job in particular.
I was invited in for an interview...
Well, at first the lady wasn't sure what time, so she said she'd call me at 5pm. No such call!
The next morning I see I had receieved an e-mail at 2am asking me to come in at 1pm that day.
I had to lie to my current employer to come to the interview which went really well.
I was basically offered the job but was told that they would call my references and have me come back in for an audition before Friday (this was on Wednesday).

I am a Florida resident,unfortunately unemployed,who is repeatedly being turned down for jobs that I am highly qualified for.I am usually given no feasable explanation for the denial.I am starting to think that this state condones job discrimination and is NOT doing what it can to HELP people like me who WANT and NEED to work.

Help! I need a better job. I am a waitress right now, and it isn't cutting it. I am trying to move out so I need a little more money than the 300 dollars a week that I make. I am graduating in the spring of 08 with my associates in general studies and I am interested in anything to do with health care and nursing.

I've been working at a certain television network for 6 months now (first job out of college) in their sales department. Everyone is always telling me how great my performance is and my boss's clients are always telling him how much they love working with me. I do extra work in addition to what others in my position do. The only problem is that I don't make anywhere near what the average salary for my position in my city is (I checked salary.com), and it's so bad that I have to work a second job 20 hours a week to pay my student loans and other expenses. I'm just sick and tired of it and I want to ask for a raise, but I'm afraid that with the writers strikes now would be a bad time. Should I ask for the raise that I know I deserve, or should I wait for conditions for the company to improve? Or should I just give my two weeks notice and go to an industry that can fairly compensate me for my hard work?

I am a Staff with Ernst and Young's IT Audit Practice.. I am on a project with a Senior in Minneapolis.. Anyways, when it was time for us to make our flight arrangements, I indicated to my Senior that because there is no direct flight to the airport closest to my house, I may have to take an earlier flight home on Fridays.. My Senior lives near in an airport with a direct flight from Minneapolis.. Anyways, my Senior obliged and I assured him that I could make up the hours from either the plane ride home or over the weekend..
On my way to the airport for my flight back home, I proceed to get a call from my Senior Manager, yelling at me and saying I should have not taken an early flight.. He indicated that the Senior and I are a team and we should be leaving together.. He said he didnt care where I lived and wanted me to take the same flight as my senior.. He said that since the Senior's airport is 2 hours from my house, I could rent a car and drive home.. How is this fair to me???

they were going to fire me I took 12 weeks of FMLA. So I could become vested in my 401k, which I did. I requested from HR that they transfer me to a different location b/f I came back to work. Bu the HR person never responded basically teling me that he had no intention of transfering me to another location to save me additional heartache from this jerk manager. So essentially he forced me to resign my position, I was NOT going to go back into that hostile work enviroment so I quit. Do I have any legal recourse since the HR guy never so much as returned my emails Please let me knwo, what I should do. I am also ABSOLUTELY SURE this Store Manager is telling perspective employers I am interviewing with he is telling them negative info but i cant prove it. I know this is long please help

After every visit to Yahoo, I've found between 30 and 40 spy bots that Yahoo has attached to my system. I run 3 different spy bot programs to find and delete them, but it sure seems to be a dirty trick on the part of Yahoo to do this to people! It's also very dangerous to allow the spy bots to remain in your system because of the possibility of ID theft.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?!

I know they cannot ask your age, whether you have children, if you are married, and where you were born because it is illegal. But what about if you have other interviews?

Hello,

I feel that my employer owes my around $15,000 due to a bonus structure in my current deal, but they are not paying it. Is there anything I can do in the court system to enforce this, while still keep my job?

Thanks
