Don't they know that those aren't human hours?

I just started with a large retailer a couple months ago as a management trainee. I have over two years of retail experience before this.

Yet, the vibe I am getting from my manager is that I don't seem happy. I will say I do not have much of a relationship with the store manager and the rest of management as well. I take no breaks and work my butt off, which is what I thought the company wanted, but appearently not as I am having trouble with the political aspects of my job. My store manager did say that I am ok.

Or maybe I am no longer meant to work in retail and need to eventually look for another job. The comapny often transfers people so there is a chance I won't be at the store I am at much longer.

Problem is, it is out ofm y area of specialty. (I am a therapist). I completed a master's degree to specialize in clinical services, yet my company doesn't have anything available except this administrative position.
Then last week, before my promotion negotiations were completed, I was offered an interview with a new organization that would pay a tad bit more than the new salary and would allow me to do the work I studied 6 years for. I took the interview and it went great, and expect a job offer this week. My question is, how would I then go back and tell my company that not only do I not want the promotion but I am leaving? I feel loyalty to my current company and the job is GREAT, but it's not really what I want to do.
One last thing is a lot of people assisted in me getting this offer, and I don't have the heart to disappoint them. I'm torn on this, so any suggestions are welcomed.

I just started a new job and I'm also in college. Normally when I came home I would rest for a bit then work on homework. But now, when I get home, 4 hours later then normal, I'm burned out. I'm sore all over and tired to the point that I can't even pay attention to homework. I'm going to have even more college hours next semester and I don't think I can keep this up.
I work at an auto parts store by the way. So I am having to lift stuff and be on my feet constantly. That's what I will be doing all the time for now on. Will this get easier or am I possibly going to have to give it up?

I am currently employed right now but I am seeking to work elsewhere. I am doing this because of the lack of hours I am getting if any. Should I just keep looking then notify them once I receive a job or tell them now and keep looking?

I'm originally from Los Angeles and built an extensive career in the retail banking industry (executive management/training) and have been met with such dismal failure in finding a decent job here in the southeastern region of Michigan. I understand the job market here is somewhat dead, however can someone PLEASE shed some light as to which resources are the best in terms of finding a solid job that pays over $15/hr or a salary of $35K and above? Are there any good companies around here that I can actually walk into, hand in my resume and meet with someone?

My mom and dad both applied for Jobs on usajobs.com
my mom applied for a "contract specialist" and my dad applied to be a "secretary" in Aviano AB, Italy. The last day to apply for both jobs is in March 2008.
How long does it usually take until you know if they get the job?
And how good of a chance do they have of getting the job? It's overseas so I'm guessing less people would apply? Like, my mom has a very good resume, she's had expierience in contracting for 19 years and has many awards for her work.
My dad has had 10 years expierience....Do you think they can get it???? Thanks :)

I know that it would have been better to ask him in person, but my boss isn't really a people person-he's kind of shy and quiet, and he's very busy. For this reason I thought it would be easier to write him an email which he could answer in his own time explaining I will be working on my master's while working here full time which will help me with my career with this company and it would be a big favor to me etc. I sent it to him Friday afternoon, and my boyfriend said to wait a week, but it's Tuesday and he'll be in training for the rest of the week.
What should I think of this? I haven't given him a reason to not like me and I've been working my butt off this year finishing a project by myself, when I was budgeted to have another employee. I don't report directly to him, he's my boss' boss, but he knows all about my work. It's too soon to approach him and ask if he received my email, but I think if he was going to do it he would have at least responded by now.

1) How should I dress? Suit or formal pant, shirt, and tie? Would a suit be too much in California? Remove the goatee or is it okay?
2) What types of questions will they ask me? For example, what types of teamwork questions and in technical questions will they just ask me "do you know this?" or will they give me a situation or problem and ask me how to solve it? The position is for a Handset Field Test Engineer-any of you having experience with this type of interview or know anything please give me any suggestions that would help me with my onsite interview. Your help is very much appreciated!!!

I have been looking for a new job for a few weeks nnow and have been to a couple of interviews using the doctors/dentist excuse. The trouble is, I have been asked to go for an interview for an amazing job. And the interview is this Thursday!

The interview is at 4pm in London, so I'd need to leave work around 2pm (work is fuirther from London than home). I work in a REALLY small company - there are only 4 of us, and one girl is on holiday for the next three weeks, so when I'm off, there's only two people left!

Last month I in hospoital and was off work for three weeks, so I really don't want to push my luck with calling in sick. I have asked if they'll meet me after work, but 4pm is the latest they can do.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I work with a woman that owned her own business for 35 years (I hear this everyday). She is always trying to control and supervise her coworkers (me included). I actually have senoriity and I am relied on for more responsibilities. This woman is a tyrant. She calls her coworkers white-trash and idiots when she is with me. I have to listen her tell me that "No one around here knows sh*t." I have asked her to try and work with everyone. I have told her this is not like owning your own business, your working for someone else now. She is determined to get fired everyone she cant stand. She keeps a note book and if she thinks anyone is doing something wrong she sits in the office and documents everything. She is extremely controlling. She has the bosses backed off because she keeps threatening "Union". I don't know how I can keep from smacking her eventually.

Any advice?

My manager didn't honor the contract ie no medical insurance 50/50. He doesn't like to pay for materials that I use either.
Yesterday when I asked for money for materials he stopped the van in a hurry and looked for noises. My co-workers are nasty, one even arranged a phone call on Friday who was an imposter of the recruiter, saying that he was going to cancel my visa. This is because this guy is unqualified and horrible to everyone. He says "I'm the devil." and things like that, and tells me I have no life. The other new worker, says I'm in a ganster network all around the world and brushes her eyebrows with a toothbrush!!!! Yesterday the international people where I work said they don't like my company very much (neither do I!!!)
Im just about to "burst" with how I feel, as I've been holding it all inside. I'm almost too upset to work today.
Yesterday the auditors were in and the international guy was giving me such a hard time saying we're paid double anyone else, etc.
