I'm the safety trainer for our manufacturing plant and the office manager for our corporate office. Everytime I want to go to the plant for somethng my boss says things like I should go there without and escort because they will think the Plant Manager just wants to talk to a pretty girl. Now the bosses wife asked me to go over there and have a b-day card signed by everyone at the plant. So, I called the plant manager to ask if it was all right to bring it by and he said ok. I went there and the guys came over to sign it. The plant manager was all pissed off because the guys stopped working to sign and told me they have too many exuses to stop working and now I know I'm going to be chewed out because its my fault for being a girl and being at the plant. Come on, I'm 30 years old and am a proffesional. Should I be made to feel responsible??? Is this a sexist company??? Is this harrastment or descrimination???

I recently found out that my husband has a Bad Conduct discharge report and court martial documents on his Army record. As his wife is there a way to get these documents and find out WHY or What happened. Asking him is out of the question since he apparently didn't tell me about this to start with! I don't want revenge and I would prefer not to get divorced. I just want the answers. Oh, and I was not his wife at the time he was discharged but I am now and have been for seven years.

leave for navy basic this Monday. I heard my recruiter mention at dep meeting that they are asking people during the processing week if they would like to change their rate is this true or no. I am currently a corpsman which I am happy with but if I could become a mass communication specialists I think it would work out better for me.

Constantly I hear bullshit of Pro this Anti that. This country was built on the foundation that we are all equal and different, and majority of good solutions are middle way solutions, not this all or nothing moron mentally. This country was built on ethics, which is becoming way to confused with morality. Anyone can claim morality, but it takes an intelligent mind to understand ethics.

2 years after the flood, and less then 25% of the city has been rebuilt. tens of thousands still live in fema trailers, whining and complaining, instead of rebuilding their homes. Texas and the Midwest had massive floods, damaging thousands of homes, and none of them are whining. They are ALREADY rebuilding, just days later. No fema trailers, no crime, no looting. I think we should turn N.O. into a landfill, and anyone still in trailers 2 years after the storm can be buried right with the city. Sound good to you?

I'll never understand why Bush did not follow Macarthur's plan of overwhelming an occupied country with US troops. It's not fair to our soldiers over there now who are trying to do the impossible.

Here's how I'd answer the question - by first answering these questions:

What would the coverage look like if the media were slanting in a pro-war direction?

What would it look like if they were slanting in an anti-war direction?

What sould unbiased reporting look like?

And finally, what does the current media reporting look like?

So, what do you think?

Please also tell us whether or not you support the war if you answer. Thanks.

My boss is evil...so I quit almost 2 weeks ago..I was supposed to be working up until Saturday, and then help her out from there when I could. The reason I quit is bc I never get paid on time, like a week late, she calls me when I am on my way to work(a 30 min drive) and tells me she doesn't need me to come in, or then I am only there for like 3 hours...when I was supposed to be working a 60 hour week, and am now only gettting like 20 hours at the most! So here is my problem...she owes me for last week, when she couldn't afford to pay me but could afford to pay the personal assistant, pay to have her basement remodled, and have her lawn mowed! So she owes me for that and then up until today bc she doesn't need me the rest of the week...I need the money now!!!! I have 4 bills due now....how do I tell her, I want my money this minute and I'm not going to be able to help out in the future as originally planned?

Before the last Federal Minimum Wage hike, the standard hourly minimum rate was $5.15, the standard hourly minimum rate for employees earning tips was $2.77.

I cant seem to find any information regarding the new rate (if there is one) for employees earning tips!

HELP PLEASE!
