i know there are dummies and know it alls at the workplace, and the severe of both need to be retrained and if not fired....but why is it that people have to be harassed on a daily basis at the workplace when they are doing their job right because someone else is getting less caring about their own part in the workplace......i work a job and i see people acting all lazy and not productive while i'm being very productive....then i see them getting all the credit for work that i'm doing and and i'm getting less credit for the work i'm doing, it should be the other way around but they get credit for doing the things wrong and i'm not getting credit for doing things right...and the funny part is in the long run they will keep their job and i will lose it if this keeps going on, how crazy is that

I work in a prominent conventions facility. It is part of my job (team leader) to be in charge of new employees. For the past 2 years, no problems.

Recently two new workers have caused me much inconvenience, I spend all night chasing them up & neglecting the other workers. They disappear & I find them doing some irrelevent task. I ask them to go back to their job, recieve resistance & often return to find them off again. They continually question my judgement. They refuse to do things the way we are supposed to: little things like how a table should be set, on which our company has strict guidelines.
I approached them regarding the attitude & was quickly told that they have studied hospitality & are therefore more qualified for my job than I am. My superiors are aware & have encouraged me to get nasty with them and give them the crappiest jobs. But I am far from a push-over as it is & I don't think it is appropriate to bully them, I have always got on well with my colleagues.

I have three kids I need to support, I have decided it's time to get off of welfare and get back to work. (before you start ragging on me about welfare, all three of my kids were born premature and had special needs until about 2 years of age, my youngest will be 3 in Feb.) I don't have my GED because I never had time to go to the mandatory GED classes here, but I really would rather not flip burgers. What would be a good entry level position somewhere? I also have terrible credit, and a conviction for passing bad checks four years ago. How limited are my job prospects because of these things? Would a factory somewhere hire me? I live in NW Ohio, there are a lot of factories here. Any advice is appreciated.

I really don't know what I could major in. Nothing I'm good at could really make a living. I'm an artist, sketching, mostly, and alittle bit of painting. I love animals, and I know that whatever I do, I would like to work with animals. I highly doubt I'd make a very good business woman. The only plan i've got right now is to become a pet groomer at petsmart or something, then get married and be a houswife and stay at home mom, then when my kids are older, i could have a doggie day care. but what happens if i need to make a living and support my family no my own? I don't know what I should go to college for. Would anyone have any idea what kind of career a person like me migh be good at?

I have an interview with HR in a few days, and they have already sent me the application to fill out. Under the employment history there is also salary history. Should I just leave this blank, or fill it out accurately, or inflate my salary just a little bit? Some of my friends say to inflate just a little bit (everyone does it supposedly?). I know that I am a little underqualified for the position, and my salary shows it. What would you do???

Should I beat up my ex-boss? He just fired me from my computer programming job. And, I am not young anymore. I am 56 even though I am still strong and youthful. But, I cannot get a new job in my field. This is not like the 1980's when I could just walk in and get hired. Getting a new job is tough these days. And, my skills are more suited for the 1990's. And, even if I take classes, the employers want experience with the latest technology. So, my high salary days are over. I will need to get a security guard job now. I think the only solution is to beat up my ex-boss.

There's this guy at work who smells BAD! He's been there longer than most and has earned the respect of higher ups for his skills...nobody wants to offend the guy or be rude to him, but gosh he makes an entire room smelly!

What's a classy way of handling the situation?

I am a member of a small profession (actuary) and feel that I am paid a below market salary for my experience level. There are a few salary surveys out there I have seen and while they vary a bit, it is clear I am paid on the low side of the scale. I would estimate I am at the 25'th percentile.

Like many companies, my employer is very tight with annual salary increases. 2% to 3% is where the aggregate average falls each year.

I believe I am still at a point in my career where my market value is increasing with each additional year of experience (say 5% per year) and with inflation at 3%, I feel that anything less than 8% per year puts me more below market for my profession. I am a strong performer as well.

I like my job a lot; I like my co-workers a lot but I need to earn more money and really don't want to go out and get a different job offer. I am confident I could do this; my company has tried to match offers before but this is not a road I would prefer.

Advice??

I had an interview for a job with the state, and it went really well. When the supervisor sent the candidate recommendation to HR, she also sent me an email to let me know that although she sent information on two people, I had been the candidate of choice. However, she just sent an email today letting me know that someone higher than her or even her own supervisor had made a decision to hire someone else. Because she has been so communicative and todays email sounds almost as though she is not happy with the choice the higher-up made, should I send her another thank you? Basically I am thinking just an email to say thanks again for all the time she gave me and also thanks for keeping me informed about the process. Would that be okay in case the other person doesn't work out, or is that too much? Any other helpful suggestions would be appreciated as well.

I can't seem to find one with my physical limitations. I broke my back a few years ago and it hurts lots still so I can't do any heavy lifting and also crushed my foot at the same time and it hasn't healed either so I can't stand on my feet all day. I can't seem to find maybe a job on the internet. They all seem like scams. Any ideas? I don't need to make a million $ just something part time to keep me busy and bring in a little cash.
