Careers & Employment - November 2007

I applied for a job back in the summer, and an interview in Sept. Got a letter a week later saying they where seeking other candidates. Since then the same job has been reposted. If I where to reapply for the same position, is that ok?

At my current job, I perform critical tasks that can't be done by anyone else. For personal reasons, I want to move to another part of Michigan in the next 3-6 months. I felt bad about the idea of giving my employer only 2-week's notice, because I knew they wouldn't be able to replace me that quickly.

So I told my boss that I saw myself moving in the next several months. And I thought it would be prudent to start on a transition plan. My boss was impressed with my honesty and agreed with the wisdom of my idea.

Unfortunately, my boss's boss took it personally. Within days he hired 2 people to replace me (I do a lot of work!). And now I've learned he plans to fire me as soon as these 2 have an "acceptable" level of knowledge.

Is this legal? My performance reviews (ironically the last one was done by my boss's boss) have been glowingly positive. My productivity is better than anyone else's in the office. I put the interests of the company before my own.

What recourse do I have?

Do you feel that a lay-off is ever justified?

How did you feel? Do you resent your former company and/or boss?

Just curious. I know it's probably hard to say without having a specific field, but what are considered average salaries (when you're only supporting yourself)?

Thanks. =]

I went through the Starbucks drive through and got 2 drinks to take home for me and my mom. When I got home I saw that one of the lids wasn't on all the way and had spilled all in the center console. The center console in my car has 2 cup holders and a different space for keys and stuff like that. I had my cell phone in this space. As a result the drink spilled all over my phone and now doesn't work. I call starbucks and they said all they can do is apologize and give me a new drink. They also said that the lid was on and that it must have come off when I was drinking the coffee. The thing is, I didn't even drink it; both drinks still had the paper wrapper on the straws. Is Starbucks responsible because they didn't put the lid on correctly? Is there anything I can do?

Is there any law that addresses this situation. What recourse do I have to get my pay?

I see that a few UPS hubs are hiring for UPS driver helpers between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season.

So I have two questions...

1.) What is it like being a seasonal driver helper? How is the pay and how many hours is one expected to work? Is it difficult work?

2.) Is there any chance of getting a job as a regular full-time driver with UPS once the holiday season is over?

Does anyone work/know someone who works at The Body Shop?
Because on Sunday I'm going to a group interview with them, and im nervous.
I was wondering if there is someone that could tell me about the work experience/environment there? And the interview- what kind of stuff do they ask? Is it a nice place to work for? How much do they pay to start? Is cosmetology background necessary?

Any little bits of help would be amazing.

Love, Lee

how many a day?

Alright, I just word today that I was promoted within my firm. This means more work, responsibility, and probably more travel.

The difference is now I don't make Overtime. My previous title gave me 12% on top of my base salary.

Once I got my promotion, it was announced that my raise is 8% with no added benefits (possibly a bigger bonus but my bonuses are extremely small anyway).

So basically with all of the extra work I have, I will be making 4% less than before.

In my opinion, my company is pretty cheap but do I have leg to stand on to go back to my boss and at least ask for a raise so I'm not taking a step back?

OR - is this very typical and I should just move on.

Any advice on how to approach this would be helpful.

Thanks.

I just started at my job a month a go they are always saying something is wrong I wasn't trained properly and they know that. The thing is they call it constructive criticime *sorry for the spelling error*. SO I always say well I didn't know or if she told someone else I would tell her well you didn't tell me, sometimes I would get left with something someone else did I would tell her it was not me who did that but I will try to fix it and i am forever saying sorry. I really need this job it pays good and I have to walk to work I have even lost sleep over some stuff. Yesterday she pulled me aside and said I always talk back and cut her off and she don't care who did it, she told me just to say ok and fix it. my question is was I wrong to do this and Im just suppose to say ok and move on? also I have yet to hear that Im doing a good job. I work my a$$ off I really do I work at a daycare so Im costantly busy and I come there on my off time to fix the room up.

I am confused about what job I should do. I wondered if anyone had any good tips or knew of any good websites that offer career advice. Or should I see a careers consultant?
I have loads of education that I havent used I have also had many different jobs in different fileds of work although have not found what I want in life. I have a passion for animals, esp horses I have a BSC equine I also enjoy helping others and have a community and criminal justice HNC, and exp working for local govt. I have my licencee and passed exams in pub trade. I also have exp in admin/ secretary/ case management. I am currently working in insurance as a consultant. My CV is looking like a nightmare as I have had so many jobs and each job I do I realise I dont like it but have not found what I do like. I need to settle in a job but seem to get more confused the more jobs I have! I am 26. I also seem to dislike my current job more than all the rest as I am finding it completely boring.
