My family and I just moved from this really "great" place in the Middle East. It had no tax, my dad got a little bit more money than America, and he worked for 9 hours or so. When we came to America, my dad works for KBR and earns a little less than the Middle East, we pay tax, and my dad works for 12 hours or so. What do you think we should do? Go back or stay here? Thanks for your advice!

my job search is depressing and no producing any results - I have gone on interviews but when they ask for work or internship experience and I say that I went to school full time- it looks hopeless. What should I do? should take just any retail job in the time being, any HR specialist out there? anyone ever been in this situation? I cant be the only person

I just feel awkward saying so and so is no longer with the company and that I am their replacement. Is there a nicer way of saying this? She left for a better opportunity but only actually worked here about 8 or 9 months before leaving.

I'm a Japanese girl getting married to an English guy next year. But we are planning to move to the West Coast since my company has a branch there.
He earns 450 pounds per day in UK, and he's been offered for a position permanetnly for 80-120K + pension + insurance. But we're both not sure how good this offer is, as we have never lived in the States before.
Especially, I haven't lived in both UK or US, so I don't have a clue. Thinking of myself getting a job for 50K (guessing) anualy, would this be enough to have familly and kids, with a safe place to live?
I'm seriously seeking for guidance.

Even some temp agencys require that I need work exp.! Damn! What do I oughta do the next time I respond 2 a "Help Wanted" sign by a store's window or once I registered on Home Depot.com hoping that there's a job available 4 me?

Long story but i wont bore you with it, just quick summary. I have been trying to get in for a little under 2 years, i have been denied due to a medical condition, which i didnt know i had, i went under treatment for a year and it improved greatly but still not normal. It doesnt hinder my abilities in any way mentally or physically and is not currently progressive.
I have been appealing for over 6 months and its a losing battle. I have submitted doctors notes, and lab reports but they still will not give me the benefit of the doubt. In case you are wondering I am so determined because i absolutely want/need to become Navy SEAL. They are denying me entry into the Navy period not the SEAL program. I really don't know what to do, all my hard work will be in vain if i quit but if i keep going who knows if i will ever get in and it is cutting into my life in ways that are devastating to me, socially, mentally, financially....and i really dont have a basis for a real world career right now

Bitchyness is rife, and there is absoultely no-one happy. the company has recently changed contracts, and i have new managers. i have been offered this contract for less money and more hours, but because where i work, my hours as a casual are all over the place, although i can pick up more in another department. my bosses are really nasty and they lie. i am probably only going to be in the job for another 4 months. i often take long weekends at the moment to tkavel to another state to visit family, and i am studying, which will be harder to do with more hours. please help me!!!

Okay so I worked at Little Caesars a while back. I've been calling since july to ask about my paycheck. I quit in June. We called and they said the manager has left on disability. My mom says she has a feeling that they did not turn in my time card. Is there any other way I could prove that I worked the two days that I did? Or is it possible for them to just get off the hook of paying me? Thank you

Just got an email from an interviewer regarding a paper i submitted so support my application for a teaching job. She said that "she could see a lot of effort was put in to make it attractive and meaningful." She added that she would "make my recommendation to the director. HR will be in touch soon."

I don't know what to make of it? Does it sound positive to you?

I've been working at my job for almost a year.

Every year we have 10 FED (sick days) & 10 vacation days. I had a bad flu this year, yet i had a doctor's note to prove it. They counted it in my 10 FED days. then a couple other times i tried to get time off by useing my vacation days but they wouldn't let me so there goes the rest of my FED days.

I still have 10 vacation days but when i asked to use them MONTHS PRIOR i get a "No" or a stupid excuse.

I have a friend coming from the UK and want to take off just 2 days to go visit her. I haven't seen her in years. Of course, they would not let me use my vacation days. They told me i NEED a doctor's note. I'm not surprised.

I was just wondering if there's any way for me to somehow get time off work? any excuse? pretend i'm sick and get a doctor's note? Sorry, i'm determined. =P

Of course, this job isn't my career and i'm just saving up for University.

I can understand if one is performing below expectations, but what is the reasoning behind a verbal warning for not exceeding the expectations? I understand that for many, exceeding the expectations is a goal, but for others, the bare minimum level of accepted performance is just fine? Is there an ulterior motive by management for that employee? Is it a sign that management cares enough to use a tactic such as this to strongly suggest that the employee make an impression for some plans for advancement? Or is it management taking advantage of an ambitious employee? Your thoughts are appreciated.
