I work in the finance department . I do accounts payable. The girl that does the billing lost my compay about a half million dollars in the last 3 years and it has just been discovered. She lost it by simply not following up on her billing. Now instead of losing her job, my boss is making changes in the dept.. She is putting an unexperienced biller in her place, I am moving to a job I applied for before and told I wasn't qualified for and the girl who messed up in the first place is taking my job. AND I have to train her. We are not happy and she acts like she is being rewarded. She shows no remorse and has not even thank us for saving her job. Now for the real question. There is another girl in the Department who is not really involved in this but is the main accounts Payable person and hates this girl she is going to have to start working with. How can I keep the first girl from blowing up when the second girl sets her up to do that? If she loses it 1 time she is gone. sorry so long

I recently had a baby and am sending out birth announcements. I am also planning on sending out Christmas cards. Would it be OK to mail out the 2 together to save on postage since both will be going to the same set of 50 people?

I have seen the question regarding tips for attending a catholic church and I have also been invited to attend a catholic church and I was hoping to get some more tips. In particular I have noticed people dabbing their forehead with water and making a cross sign before they sit. How do I do this as a non-catholic?

why tip a waiter or waitress..?
1.- I always thought a tip was for services rendered above and beyond that which was normally expected...
2.- Why is it my responsibility to assess the value of the restaraunts wait staff and compensate them accordingly? I thought that was managements job. ( I thought my job was simply to enjoy my food).
3.-what about tipping out of guilt??? How does this fit into my general relaxing dinner,worrying about the employees financial state of well being... (poor girl only makes 2.10 per hour).-->I hate guilt.
4.- Tipping to impress.?? or the reverse..being considered cheap by those you're dining with???
Why are people so worried about the waitress's wage. It's her job to be taking care of you... isn't it..??
5.-Has to be noted ==> Service in America SUCKS.. lets be honest.. people can't even show up to work much less perform basic duties.Expecting tips for lousy service is the standard here and the rest of the world is appalled!

I cant believe that some employers have banned decorations thats so sad i find it hard to believe that anyone could be offended by people getting together once a year, families that you havent seen for ages and having a huge meal and giving each other presents, if someone does find this offensive because of religious reasons please can you explain it. and if there really are people out there that are offended why?

When i'm driving, they will drive slow and make me miss the light, they butt in front of me in traffic, they block the turning lane so I have to wait for the light. At the store they stop with thier carts in the middle of the aisle. At the drive thru window they, they have a hundred kids in the car and nobody can decide what they want (everyone always gets something special ordered just so it takes longer). At my store they all want to be the "exception" to the policy or prices and take up my time to have to argue with them over it. ARRRRGGGHHH.....well..even if you don't know why people are in my way....thanks for letting me vent.

What is the appropriate amount to tip someone when they wax your eyebrows or lip? Is it anything like tipping your server at a restaurant?
