I was moved from one department to another. I am one of the top people already in this department. Now they are moving people around again, and putting me in a call center/customer service job. Why take the top in one department and move them down, especially when others in my department goof off on personal calls all day and are much more deserve that kind of job? Is there any stand I can take and not get fired?

I am a contractor (a scientist) at a government installation. In principle, we have a statement of work which spells out our duties. In practice (and everyone knows it), we do what civil servants tell us. We work as contractors only because the government does not want to hire permanent employees, so we do work that should be done by civil servants under the direction of civil servants. There are rules against such personal services contracts, of course, but nobody bites the hand that feeds them. All is well until one runs into a government supervisor from hell, who uses contractors like coolies to advance his career, threatens then with contract termination, bullies them into submission. He forces contractors to include his name on all the publications because he supplied the funds, and because he can. And when things go wrong, it is contractors who are at fault. I suffered through decades of degrading treatment and one nervous breakdown; I am working on another. The outside job situation has been bleak since I graduated, and I am not as young as I used to be. I am highly distinguished in my profession, with many honors to my name, which makes it doubly bitter to be disrespected by paranoid incompetents with an inferiority complex. How do I stop such a boss from violating the law on personal services contracts? It is such a common practice, yet no one does anything about it.

I'm a sophomore in high school looking for something different than the usual food service/mall job. I applied to my local bank as a teller but lost out to another girl from my school. She was also looking for a first job, but she had personal connections with the hiring section. The salary for that job was $9.50 an hour. What are some similar jobs that do not require that the workers have graduated high school? Entry level is fine, and I'd work for minimum wage if I had to. I'm not afraid of hard work but I'm not so much into manual labor. I'd prefer something more intellectual, like the bank teller job referenced before. My references are good and my grades/class rank/other school records are impeccable, but I don't have any work experience other than babysitting. Thanks for your help and if you have any suggestions, that would be wonderful! i'm located near Kansas City, KS, if that helps in your search.

I'm starting a personal chef service and I've had a tattoo that I have wanted to get for years. I know that a lot of chefs have visible tattoos, and the one that I would like to get is floral (non offensive, and not completely visible). Do you think that this would prevent me from getting some jobs, or is it acceptable in this field of work?

I almost did it once with personal training services at my gym, but then I got fired from my job and therefore had a legitimate reason to cancel it. But I'm still curious as to what would have happened if I had changed my credit card number.

I applied for a part time job at the beginning of this week. Currently the job I have is really stressful and this would be a step down. The manager said they would look over my application, and I've heard of people calling back the place they applied for and ask if they've looked over the resume. Whats the proper way to go about doing that/what are you supposed to say on the phone? (Note: This is a service job, food-industry)

I have a full time secretarial/personal assistant job that i loathe. I absolutely hate coming to work. My boss is a total b***h. I have applied for another really good job with the city and I'm waiting to hear back. The thing is they say the application and interviewing process takes 60 days. Frankly, I can't wait that long. should I grit my teeth and stay where I am, or find another job in the meantime and work there until I hear about the city job. I don't like going to a job for a few weeks and then leaving for another, but I'm at my wits end and I can't afford not to have a job at all.

I went to this salon the first time and liked the proximity, the atmosphere, etc. I got served by the lady boss of the salon - she was quite austere, quite eccentric, quite bossy... although she was extremely attentive to detail, she wasn't very fast with her job (maybe that's her way of showing a new customer what good personal service she provides). However, I thought spending 2 hours there for just a simple trim was a bit much. I feel like switching hairdressers - I'd actually prefer her female employee hairdresser to serve me instead as I thought she cut pretty well and was quite quick with the job too. But... thing is, would it make things awkward? In the past, if I didn't like the first hairdresser a new salon had picked to serve me, I'd just not go to that salon ever again. Have YOU tried changing hairdressers at the salon you've been to and did it work out well? Or do you think I should just avoid that salon forever?
