I missed work on consecutive days because I don't feel too good, do you think I will get fired since I've been at the job for only 6 months.

How important is being happy on your job? Lots of people say that jobs are hard to find and its better to get the well-paying job and be glad you have one because the point of a job isn't to
be happy, its to make money. What do you think? Please, share experiences too.

Thanks

He tells us EXACTLY what to do and then when something else fails hes gets so mad his body trembles. I have 15 years in this line of work and a degree, we are not lazy or kids. Im not afraid of him but I would like to know the best way to handle this.

I just started working at a new school in a new area my husband and I moved to. I've been teaching there since September and the environment is awful and the administration is abusive. It's starting to affect my life in all areas and making me unhappy. I'm scared to change jobs after just starting and doing the hunt all over again. I feel this school completely misrepresented the job... everyone there is miserable. Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Well they closed the program I work in and my hours are 12 to 8 and my sitter already gives me a hard time because she puts her kids to sleep around 8 and it excites them when we leave. They offered me another position in another program from 4 to 12 but that won't work because my sitter won't go for me picking him up that late at all. I also go to school on the internet at night. I could do it earlier but it is better at night while my son is sleeping. He is 5 and he needs watching constantly when he is awake. But I wonder considering that this program closed would I be able to file for unemployment while I search for a new job? I am a single mom barely making ends meet. I know I won't be out of work for long because I will make a full time job of looking for one, but I know how the job market is and it may be a few weeks.

And I have a few questions... that would probably be suited for the person that I have the interview with, but I figured that I would ask them here anyway.

1) What is the starting pay usually? (And don't say just minimum wage please, it could be anything since I've heard different things)

2) Are they flexible with hours? (This is very important to me. I can work every day if I have to, but I want it like 9-5 or 8-5 because I have college classes in the evening)

Can anyone answer? I'd really apperciate it. But I will bring these up with the interviewer, and hope for the best. I just want to get an idea of what to expect.

Thanks.

so I work at a large company and have for a few months, I'm slightly underpaid which I'm ok with because of my age, I was planning on going away for college at the end of the summer, but ended up taking classes at a local community college instead because I wanted to keep the job. Now the work seems to be running out, I get sent home early at leats once a week and there's never stuff there in the morning for me, not only am I not getting the hours I want I'm worried about keeping my job. Now every time I get some work I stretch it out to as much time as I can, and I take my time doing it, or mess arround here. I know this is wrong, but by the way I'm treated can I somewhat justify it?

I'm in construction and it's the start of the slow season so I can't really just go get another job, what should I do?

Would this be true?

It said that they are generally oxbridge graduates and have joined as managers and they join the top banks in London. Still three hundred thousand quid salary within 3 years after leaving uni sounds a lot. Would this be true?

I just went over two years at this company and I have traveled for more than 80 weeks out of 100. I told them I could not keep up and that I am getting tired, and that I need to dedicate more time to my 3 yr old and working wife. Their answer was train the next guy for two months and we won't need you. How do I keep my motivation with out burning a bridge and just not properly train the next guy?

What does "at which time mean"?

I applied for a job a few weeks ago and Monday (of this week) I sent a follow up letter, on the same day, I got a reply from them saying I should resend them my resume and "at which time i will be contacted for an interview".

Does this mean that they will DEFINATELY hear from them? I really want this job. Is it ok for me to send ANOTHER email asking what the status is?

I already did the interview and everything went okay. I've been told many times from other interviews this "we will go over your papers and see if you fit this job and then we will call" I usually don't get a call. Do you know if I got the best buy job, I think I did okay in the interview, how long does it take them to call?

Any advise would help.
They take over my work and when I told them not too, they felt offensive. I went and complained and I heard from my other co-workers so did they. Now the three of us have stopped talking to each other and the work enviroment it very depressing. Please help. Working on what I was suppose to be working on would make it look like to the managers that (the two of them) are better and are not only handling their work but mine as well.

My bf just got fired last night because he input a customer check twice on 2 separate occasions. He workd for Movie Gallery. They trained him to be a SCSA (Senior Customer Service Associate) which is basically a MOD (Manager On Duty). He would take care of all the paperwork @ night before he closed the store. According to him when they do the training for it, it's bascially a teach yourself type thing. They don't really do much hands on/example training. Well I guess there was a couple of times @ 2 separate stores that he input a customer check twice and didn't catch it when he went to do paperwork @ the end of the night. I guess it went all the way up to corporate level in paperwork troubles, but I still don't see why they would fire him over that.

What do you think? If you are an employer what would you do and why?

I think they could have at least let him keep his job, just maybe bumped him down to a CSA and not let him close the store or do any paperwork.

I recently started a new job and the previous girl that had the job worked 40 hours a week. I manage to get all the work done in less than 20 hours. I find myself bored and looking for something else to do. I ask around the office and no one wants to let me help. I am not sure what to do. I don't want to work 40 hours, but sometimes I work as little as 8-10 hours a week. It is all based on my supervisor's schedule/workload - he gives me work and is only in the office 2 days a week. I try to pace myself, but I usually just get the work done fast. I notice other employees surf the internet during slow periods. I don't do this, when I am at work I just want to work. Any ideas?
