This happened to me, where the waitress didn't believe that I was 21, and didn't think my ID was real, and had to call her supervisor over. She was also rude to me and my friends. I gave her a 10?ip. Was this a good move in that situation. Would you have given her anything?

Ok, so I got this job as a dispatcher. I love the job itself, the pay is actually very decent and I like the majority of the people. Lately I've been coming home very stressed because of the other dispatchers I work with. They don't do their job (creating more for me) and they sit there and whine about it. I mean it has gotten to the point where I wanna quit. They are driving me crazy. I have tried to ignore them but it hasn't been working. Other than my co-workers this job is awesome. Should I quit my job over them?

I have been employed with the federal government for 10 years, but received a promotion. My new supervisor snubbed me the first day on the job, and on a weekly basis constantly speaks to my subordinates that he is going to fire me. I am a new supervisor in the government, what can I do about this situation? What would you all do? When I tried to speak to him in his office he was anal, and the conversation was one way!

I dropped off my application and resume at the mall last week for a part-time position. I know they do a background check and I don't have perfect credit. Could that keep them from offering me a job? I've been a SAHM for over 3 years and just need a job to make some money. I'm just worried that they won't even call me. Anyone else have this experience? Thanks.

Why is it when a supervisor is having his workers do something a certain way because his highers ups want it done that way that the people below the supervisor question and complain to the supervisor like he can do something about it? Why do the people who work for the supervisor question why he doesn't do certain things knowing the supervisor doesn't have the power to do them?

I am writing a cover letter for my resume, and I don't know who to address it to. The supervisor is listed on the job information sheet I received, but the director is listed first on the website, and the supervisor is listed as the junior creative director on the site, not supervisor. Also, if I do not know their marital status, would it be informal to address the cover letter using their full name?
