Denny's Restaurant currently is having a country music promotion and play country music 24/7. Denny's is also a regular sponsor of pro bowling tournaments. It doesn't seem like Denny's is catering to rocket scientists and opera lovers. What do you think?

My manager was furious with me when I handed her my polite resignation letter. She was aware of my job application to another company, and I had asked her permission prior to putting her name forward as a referee(which she agreed to do). Her anger was directed towards the fact that some of my colleagues were aware of my interview success before her. However, I made an appointment to see her on the same day that I received my formal job offer, so feel I could not have acted any quicker. She would not take my letter from me, and did not acknowledge my hard work over previous 4 years. Am I right to feel aggrieved, or should I let this go? I'm considering contacting the Human Resources dept to complain about her behaviour, but do not want to act 'over the top'. Any advice please? Thankyou.

I've had several abusive bosses over the years, and I often wonder if they actually think that they're improving either their own situation or that of their employees by being verbally abusive. After all, their behavior does anything but engender respect from their employees or promote a positive work atmosphere. One would think that they would realize they're doing something wrong if they have employees who walk out on them out of the blue. Plus, one would also think that they would realize that a positive work atmosphere promotes greater productivity.

Not too long ago, I read in a book about resume writing that it's not necessary to put down EVERY job you've ever had on your resume, especially if it doesn't pertain to the position you're seeking. However, if that's the case, does that also mean that I can omit certain jobs from my work history on a job application?

I work in a VERY negative atmosphere! I work in a truck stop that's full of gossipy, hateful shrews who remind me that I don't fit in. Also, I have a boss who yelled at us, glared at us, and threatened us at the last meeting, because some of us had failed to perform certain tasks we didn't know we were supposed to do. I cannot stand being talked down to like some child who's misbehaved! For that matter, I wouldn't even talk to a child like that myself, and actually if I did, I would be accused of verbal abuse. I work two jobs as it is. This is my full-time job and I earn $6.75 an hour there. I also work 15 hours a week at another job where I earn $12 an hour. I live alone and I'm the only source of income I have. Part of me is hesitant to call in and say that I'm finished with them, but another part of me wants to tell them all to just go to hell. If I called in and told them that I quit, could I just go to a temp agency on Monday and try to find something there? What do you suggest?

On my resume, I do Bullets. Every new responbility I have I put a new bullet. Now for my Real Estate Asst, I don't know it would be.. let me show you what I mean

• Filing Papers
• Data Entry
• Schedule/Reschedule/Confirm Appointments
• Marketing (by this I mean making the flyers for "just sold" or "just listed" or open house flyers to mass mail)
• Open Houses

okay you get where I'm going with the bullets?

1. Errands (pick up or drop off lockboxes, stock flyer boxes, pick up or return listing keys, check vacant properties and tidy up where needed)
HOW DO I WORD THAT, BECAUSE I DO THE BULLETS, SO HOW DO I WORD ALL OF THAT?

2. Basic Office Admin (make copies, keep files clean and current, keep calendar current, follow up on showings for feedback, take pictures of listings, enter listings into local MLS, pull up listings on MLS)
SO WOULD I LABEL IT AS A SINGLE/MULTI BULLET RESPONSIBILITY???

Thanks in advance!!

Is it possible to score over 100 if you were a veteran? If any of you took the test and got hired, could you tell me what score you had? Thanks!

I work in childcare and i really enjoy working with kids, but the daycare i work in now is horrible. My boss treats me unfairly-(im not the only one she does this to.) i get yelled at for everything. If i dont get all my work done, i get yelled at but if i dont leave on time, i get yelled at. She is just really hard to work for.
Also, one day, my boss told me that my job should come before everything else, including my family and health.
I got talked to because i wasnt doing enough stuff with the kids, so i went out and spent over $200 on crafts and she told me i couldnt use them, they were too comercialized.
I, among with others get in trouble for every little thing we do, while others would get away with murder get put up on a grand pedastol.
What should i do? I live in a small town where there arent many job opportunities and my husband wont let me quit even though we can afford me not working until i found something better. Its a no win situation....help me!

I am a 5'8" 300lb female and I work in a call center. I have been off work since Monday. When I went to work last night I found that my chair had been taken away and in place of it was a new chair. Unlike my old dusty purple colored chair, this new chair was bright red and doesn't have any arms. I asked my supervisor what happened to my chair and she said she didn't know that some peoples chairs were changed. Upon looking around the only chairs that were different were that of the people who are my size and larger. I asked why this happened and was told that it was a safety issue. On the side, another employee said that they heard that it was because we break the chairs. I have been sitting in the same chair for the past 3 years. I feel like a target in this big red chair with no arm rests. I want to get my old chair back or have other people have chairs like mine. What can I do?

I'm pretty sure you can't mention a medical condition as a problem but I need to know for sure, can anyone help?

and before you answer, keep the following in mind.

Over the past 5 years, hundreds of big companies have cut thousands of jobs. I'm sure when you hear the news, you think, "those poor saps". But do you realize the flak that these job cuts cause?

Here is a partial list of companies that have announced either downsizing, or off shoring THIS YEAR ALONE.

HP, Kodak, Pfizer, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Hershey's, MascoTech, Dell (moved support to India), Best Buy, GMAC financing, Bank of America, Cisco, Krogers, Farmer Jack, multiple management levels at Home Depot, WalMart.

Now, realize that it is a proven fact that for every one good paying job that leaves your area, your local area also loses 3-5 outside jobs. Jobs that depended on the cash from the above companies employees buying things.

Hair salons, grocery stores, retail stores, accountants, doctors, dentists, lawyers, gas station attendants.

So I ask you, is YOUR job really "safe" right now? And why do you think so?

I'm 17, and turning 18 in 2 weeks. Recently, my parents have been having money troubles. My dads buisness isn't going so well at the moment, and they're struggling to pay the morgage. It may even end with them having to sell the house. I'm considering lap dancing to help pay for the morgage and bills. I've even meet up with a woman who manages a lap dancing club. She says my appearance is right for the job, but she can't give me an interview/audition in the club untill I turn 18. She wants me to come back to see her in a couple of weeks. I've told my mum about this and she says would rather lose the house than have me work as a stripper. But my parents have lived there since they first got married (over 30 years ago), and I know they'll be devastated if they have to move. The job I have now doesn't pay enough.

I know it's sleazy, and i'll hate every second of it, but is this 'good' idea? They've looked after me their whole life, so I think I should give something back.
