• It's so contextual. Some jobs require occasional weekend work and those that refuse are going to be deemed less valuable, less reliable, and less... team oriented. If working weekends is anathema to you, then you likely need to find a different job -- one where it is spelled out front in granite that weekends are off limits. I don't think a lower evaluation is by definition wrong, but again the context is critical. If you were led to believe that weekends are sacred then you might have a case, but you would need something to support your position. more

  • I would challenge the review but before you do go to EEOC and create a retaliation claim to cover your job first.

  • What do you mean by 'genuinely good'?, is it humaneness? you probably weigh that against the organization objectives and your career. are wok... objectives fulfilled at the end of the day?. He could be good at inter-personal relationships which is also a key to a good work environment more

  • Wake up! You mean to tell me you are OK with someone holding your career back because they're a good person. Answer one question. Who ultimately is... reasonable for their own career? You or the manager? I say it all the time. Move up the food chain. Take advantages of opportunities because if you won't someone else will. more

  • "hinting" is not a guarantee and "loyal" does not pay the bills

  • You r current manager is using the time worn adage of stay longer and you will be rewarded. Don't be a job hopper but follow your gut. Job... satisfaction is more than the pay you receive. more

  • Your life doesnt revolve around your friend. is he/she going to pay your bills.

  • Why was he/she fired? Does your friend pay your bills? Is he/she offering you an alternative? Separate your job from friendship.

  • What happened to investing today's excesses for the future? I think that should be your line of thinking. Invest every extra coin you have until you... have enough for a comfortable life in future. more

  • Why would you ever stop working if you enjoy what you do? Simply stopping because you might not "need" the income is not a good reason. Fulfillment,... enjoyment, satisfaction, accomplishment, value added; will you experience all these if you left your job?  more

  • It is always best to HAVE a job while you look for a new one.

  • There's a quote that says, "You can't make someone love you by giving them more of what they already don't appreciate." Your manager chastised you in... front of an audience because she doesn't respect you. I fear had you stayed her disrespect would've continued and your peers would've disrespected you as well. You made the right decision! It's better to leave under one bad situation than multiple. People will think you are the problem had you stayed longer.  more

  • Explain your particular situation and see where it goes. If BTW policies are not flexible where you are, then look for other opportunities, but... remember, most companies are wanting their workers back in the office, so your prospects may be limited. more

  • I know childcare is very difficult. Pray, God will provide you the answer. I believe Pastor would say start looking yesterday.
    Reason with your... employer. Ask for more time to secure childcare. Wish you God's best.

  • This happens all the time. Competitors see and track valuable employees at companies in their same industry. Talk to your manager about getting the... offer. See where that leads. But be prepared of your manager forces you to make a decision on the spot. more

  • I am somewhat in the same situation. I feel such loyalty, but I am not going anywhere in my current job I believe. I'm somewhat afraid to leave them... just because of the loyalty I have more

  • It is not your position to do so. Your former colleague has the responsibility to win the interview and explain their former job experience and why... they were let go. But you should be prepared with a response if the hiring manager comes back to you asking why you recommended someone who was let go from their last position.  more

  • Giving a colleague a second chance is both commendable and humane. However, if the issues that led to his removal could affect his performance in this... new role, then true support should include honest counsel and guidance toward positive change. After all, we are meant to support one another not only through opportunities but also through accountability. more

  • Go search out other opportunities to see if they align with your ambitions. You may discover staying put and convincing others to see things more... your way is the better option. more

  • pls dont leave. derive a security path in which only u, knows the source code and dont share. that way, u gain administrator access for what you... built, even though there are other users

  • Mark Twain once said: "Always tell the truth, that way you never have to remember anything". The truth will eventually come out, and then what will... you do? Tell another lie? Use life's challenges to make you stronger. Focus on the firing as a wake-up or a learning experience that made you a better person or employee.  more

  • Just work as you continue to wait for the truth to come out. Most of the things we worry about don’t happen anyways. You’ll be good, just be ready to... face it when it happens but don’t lose sleep over worrying about it. more

  • In the end, all you have complete control of are your morals and your values. If you compromise those, what do you have left? I believe we are... measured by those values more than the material trappings of compromising them for a larger paycheck. If you are willing to abandon your values and morals, what does that say about your character? more

  • What God do you serve? Money, your conscience or neither? Answer that and you'll make the right decision.

  • Stand by your morals and values. You will be rewarded.

  • There is an old saying..."Alway Do The Right Thing!"....trust me you will be rewarded sometime down the road!

  • Do you believe that age and time on the job makes someone a better employee simply because they may have done something longer? Do you know the... younger person's credentials? Their job performance, output and accomplishments? How do you compare? Tenure alone is not a reliable indicator of one's accomplishments and value to an organization. more

  • Want some advice? Just do your job. Be a professional. You may not agree with your managers decisions but guess what he is the manager whose job is to... make decisions, of which your job is to follow. Believe me his managers are also looking at him. If his decisions are impacting the company, he will be replaced. more

  • I have had it happen once. When I left, everyone knew where I was going and no one there had issue with it. Once i got tot he new job, they were... very stressed and went so far as to contact my previous employer to make sure they would not have issue. It all worked out, but considering there has been a non compete clause in every job I have had, and how small the industry is. It would be impossible to leave and enforce.  more

  • Is you taking on the extra work temporary until they can fill the position, or you just have to suck it up? Think about it. What if your performance... and work starts to slip. Are you going to get fired next? I think you need to open your mouth and talk about your concerns and whether the position is to backfilled before you are permanently stuck with the extra work. more
