My mom has been working at a Hometown Buffet in Californa for two years getting paid the minimum wage $7.75 or so. is this right? Can she do something about it. She has not gotten a raised for her performance it's not like she doesn't have papers she is a U.S Citizen. She never calls in sick, according to other co-workers she is very hard working lady, and when ever they need her on her day off she goes in. According to her manager everyone should be getting a raise at the begining of this coming year, but what about her performance doesn't this company give any raises for employee performance or every year. Can you advise if there is something she can do? Can she get fired for asking for raise? She has already asked the manager from the store and it seems he has no clue. Does anyone know how this company works. I feel this is not RIGHT!!! Can she ask someone else other than the Store Manager? Thank You ALL....and please don't say just to look for another job at her age (59) it's hard.

I finished college last year and am looking for my first official postgraduate job. I've done my time working crappy jobs. In fact, for 11 of the 16 years I've been in the work force, I've worked at jobs that I hated just so that I could have a paycheck. Am I being unreasonable because I don't want to do that anymore? I've been offered positions in sales and customer service, but I'm definitely not interested. I worked in customer service for two years and wanted to shoot myself every day. My main issue is that I'm extremely introverted and would prefer to have job in which the only people I have to interact with are my co-workers. Unfortunately, many job descriptions emphasize people skills. I'm very analytical and contemplative and like to work independently. I have strong proficiency in grammar--I have a language degree--and proofreading and want a position in which I can utilize those skills. I am easy to get along with; I just like to be alone. What's an introvert like me to do?

This question is for accountants only. On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you with your job? What are the pros and cons of your job? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm an accounting major and don't wanna waste my time if I'm going to be unhappy. So far I found it a bit interesting, but my real passion is something else. However, with my real passion, I won't be able to secure myself financially and that is something I'm really concerned about. I know with accounting, I will be able to secure myself. So is it worth it? How much does your job satisfy you?

I just got a letter saying I'm an alternate in the RN program at my school. The school will not tell me my number on the alternate list but I know this:

The school takes the top 120 students out of about 500. The top 100 get into the program and the remaining 20 are alternates. So, I'm wondering, how many students do you think out of the 100 accepted into the program will choose (either by choice or circumstance) not to participate in the program? AKA....how many alternates do you think a school goes through on average?

Thanks for the info and your thoughts!

I've just accepted a position as an admissions coordinator for a Hospice Care company and was just wondering how difficult of a job it is. The pay/benefits package is fantastic but I'm concerned as to what exactly I'm getting myself into besides the obvious job description and day to day tasks I've been told about.

I only have one hand. I have never had a problem doing anything with one hand before but the nursing school has some doubts whether i'll be able to do it or not. I would like to know if any nurses or doctors out there have ever worked with someone with only one hand and if they wree able to do everything. I would like to get in contact with someone who is actually in my situation to talk about this. Any advice would be helpful!

I am a senior member of staff and when the manager has left the office, I am in charge.

Everyone decided to take their lunch leaving the phones unmanned!

I then called everyone back in the office and called a meeting. I said that everyone is big enough to use their common sense to negotiate with team members when to go on their lunch and await other staff members to come back.

The youngest age of the staff here is 25 and the eldest is 27.. so they should have common sense!

I then said that I DO not want to hen peck them, they are not children...

one of them took offence to that!

This same person seems to think that she can call the shots and give orders etc

I have told them that I will 'switch' on them because I was quite lenient, but if I have to be the sort of person that people will dread at work, then so be it!

What do you think?

I'm 19; in Australia, I want to be an actor, but want a back up career in case I don't make it as an actor, my next passion is fashion design, but then I found out that that career too was very competitive, so I thought of a plan c; housing (Urban and Regional Planner) which is a stable permanent high paying career. But I’m now facing the problem that I can't study fashion design and housing at the same time and each take at least 4 years to launch, what should I do?

the responses are all negative with respect to the dental choice? Are there no jobs in this field? The recent reports of medical careers being in high demand would make someone think that these were both good choices.

Any positive responses are welcomed as I am considering several options in the medical area.

Thanks.

I'm going to have to look for colleges soon, and I want to either go into fashion design or graphic design on the computer. Is there a career that involves both? I have heard of textile design which is done on the computer, but is that designing clothes or fabric? - I'd really like to know a carrer I'd be good for and I would like it to also involve a little sewing (fashion design). any suggestions?

Pay is about equal.
Both can get specialized and earn more money.
Rad Techs do not have as much responsibility as far as lives go. (they can't accidentally grab the wrong med and inject someone with it) The schooling for a Rad Tech is not as grueling.

RN's can get their RN Associates in two years which I guess is the same with a Rad Tech.
RN's have a bigger variety of job's to choose from and a bigger variety of places they can work.
RN's can one day become traveling nurses.

And probably above and beyond all of that is also both a negative and a positive. That is that the cases that you see are sometimes very tragic and you feel both a sense of purpose but also very saddned while being and RN.
