Careers & Employment - December 2007

I've heard anywhere from 2-10 years. All of the jobs on my resume has been extended as far as how long I've worked there. I did this so I can get hired quicker. Most of the jobs I've held were customer service positions and they come and go, so I really have 5months here and 3months there. What would you do in this case and is that the best route to take by me stretching the dates??

I have a degree in communications, but my friends are making good money doing computer stuff. I enjoy working on computers, and would like to get paid working with them. My old roommate does IT work and makes good money.

Are there any schools that I can go to to learn? I will probably move back to the SF Bay area, so if anyone knows of any schools up there please let me know.

I recently got fired because of a ***** of a duty manager complaining about me eating a sandwich I hadn't paid for (no money).I'm currently appealing against the "formal dismissal" but the big problem is (as you all know) it's right before Christmas so I can't get Christmas temp. jobs let alone permanent part-time work.

So two things:
1. How long should I leave it before I actually check they've got my appeal letter? (It's been four days now)
2. ANY ideas for making money? (Besides selling my body/ sperm/ organs etc, didn't turn out well the last couple of time =P jokes)

My boss told me that he is giving me $500 as a holiday bonus. But today when I checked my bank account to see if the direct deposit was posted it was only for $460. Do they take taxes away from your holiday bonus money? (My company uses Paychex)

I'm sitting here, being pissed at my boss for being such an a**hole lately, thinking of things I would like to say. Pretty sure there are others out there who would like to unload on their boss......go ahead and let it out!!

A friend's boss told everyone to get an unlimited texting plan on their personal phones since he would be sending texts to update them on information. Is this right?

Also, he is texting while employees are off the clock (they work hourly). Is this fair? When someone spoke up about this, they are now in jeopardy of losing their job.

We can find no laws to protect employees in this case. Phone numbers were given in case of an emergency and now abused!

I just found out I have an interview on Friday, and it's a step up from my current job. But of course, I could possibly not get the job. If I call in sick, they will want me to work from home, but I will be unable to because I will be at the interview all day. (3 hour drive). If I tell him that I have an interview and I am going to it no matter what, can they fire me? They cannot fire someone from going to an interview for a different job can they? I have been there 10 years, so I don't think they would fire me, but they make start looking to replace me.

i would generally think that mri's are scheduled, whereas you may need an x-ray at anytime. I'm thinking of going back to school to become one.

Are stuck together on the same professional team. Some of them are hard working and sharp. Some are hard working and slow. Some of them are just horrid backstabbers who either do a poor job or spend all their time trying to sabotage someone else's work.

One is a former boss who doesn't want the reposibility anymore but thinks anyone else is doing the job wrong. He's sharp and can get the job done but whines constantly. Another is a guy who wants the boss title but doesn't want to actually do the job. He's slow. A good salesman if marketing provides him with good material. He's just a talking head, he doesn't actually understand what he's saying most of the time. The problem is he wants to move up but he's not competent.

You can't fire anyone or transfer anyone at this time. How do you begin to pull the team together and get the most out of the employees?
