Question: Can my office manager not pay me a week if I forgot to submit my timesheet? I work for an office of 24 people as a Project Manager Assistant. We have ben busy the last few weeks and apparently forgot to submitt my timesheet for one week. It turns out, the office manager deliberately excluded it from my paycheck because she was "not having a good day and didn't feel like reminding anyone". I know it is my responsibility to submit my timesheets on time ( since I get paid hourly) but a reminder wouldn't have been bad either. Can she really do that? Other employees were "busted" as well. Funny thing is that when I approached her about this, she was playing solitaire in her computer!!!!! I hope she is happy now!

Question: Need very important and urgent advise-please help earnest request? Well,i need all of your in-depth suggestions and advise for me in this typical situation of mine.
I will give a short brief of the scenario.
(1)I joined a new MNC three months ago and working as Team Lead
(2)Friends-i am a novice in a full time Team Leadersip position and hence learning management capabilities surrounded by a lot of
problems in the team(which i feel would be there in all compines).
(4)As i am a new person and younger in age compared to the esiting people,I found that many senior Assistant Managers stopped interacting with me from the day
i was given the Leadership.
I feel fully(which i keep hearing from others)-that they dont like a younger guy coming new to the Org and able to perform up similiar responsibilities.
(5)We are presently a 8 member team and of all the members,there is in particular an associate who doesnt maintain
little proffesionalism in anyways,always behaves in a dont care attitude
and keeps displaying un-proffessionalism in training sessions like-
(a)Never keeps his mobile in silent mode and keeps attending calls -inspite of requesting everyone to please
adhere to these things.
(b)When he approaches me to talk, he will pat with his hand on my back and talks in a tone like "Come on dude-we wont do this"
(6) NOW this particular person was refered by an ASSITANT MANAGER for the entired Project AND SO HE SHOWS HIS POWER.
Anything,i try to explain him-next moment i hear that I m doing over too much because he tells his friend.
(7)Ok,i dont worry about this also,but he crossed the maximum limit of unproffesionalism yesterday.WE worked very hard to get a project and as per
the CLIENT requirements-we are to travel tO US.
So,our SENIOR MANAGER sent a mail that its very good and we need to visit the CLIENT's PLACE for the implementation.
---"Now this associate called every one else from different other teams and read the MANAGER's MAIL saying HE IS travelling
and its an wonderful thing"
Please note-just due to this,till now I have received minimum 10 comments from other Team Lead's and Manager's that
their team members are asking why are they not selected for my team? and why is this partiality in who is travelling?
***I got so frustrated and pissed off that even though i conveyed that it ws to be kept little confidential till the time you reach the CLient's
place because its natural for other associates to enquire that they were old in the
company but they were not considered for the team.
***My senior Manager called me and asked for an explanation because of the confusion created. I told him clearly
that it was this person from our team who is responsible for this.
But-i feel that before my Manager takes an step-I want to address this issue VERY TACTFULLY with this person so that i can convey
that the person is unproffesional in many ways and he has to mend his ways for the good of our team and work.
Please please give me some written suggestions(sort of mail) which i can send to the associate explaining
VERY CLEARLY,TACTFULLY the scenario and its effects-but i dont want to make that i am peronally against him.
Also,please give me some points on this scenario which i can convey to my Manager about this person's activities
and thts the cause of the problems.
I as such dont have any personal issues with the associate-but since i am very new to the Leardership Field-i need
all of ur advise and suggestions to tactfully deal with the scenario and in such a way that I can keep myself in
good books with the managers.
Well,i need all of your in-depth suggestions and advise for me in this typical situation of mine.

(6) NOW this particular person was refered by an ASSITANT MANAGER for the entired Project AND SO HE SHOWS HIS POWE Question: What should I do if an Office Space promotion situation comes up? Ok I graduated school a couple years ago and got a job. Well for the last year or so I have really been debating whether or not I really want to continue on this path. Plus I was working my a@@ off staying late almost every night trying to get a promotion. But I hardly even got acknowledged by my boss or the owner of the company. So needless to say my work performance has started slack and now I come in late and leave early. I could care less if I got fired. I even started running errands during the middle of my day. Taking 2 hour lunches. Pretty much I went from working 12 to 15 hours a day to maybe 4 (and thats putting it generously).
Well my boss and owner called me into their office today. I thought for sure I was gonna get fired and to tell the truth I was kinda relieved. But then the owner goes you know kid I have noticed a change in your work ethic and am worried that you might have another job lined up soon. I really like you and I am offering you a 20% pay rise and a new title of assistant project manager. Hows that sound?
WTF!? I spent 2 years working my a@@ off and get nothing then when I dont give a crap and hardly do anything I get promoted? WTF is wrong with this country? So basically what I get out of it is that if you work hard they laugh at you and when you slack off their worried they will have to hire someone and train someone new so they dont want to waste the time and energy so they give you a promotion. Should I stick with this company? Does anyone else think this is messed up? Question: If i am anticipating a unfair and unprofessional treatment and possibl echance of being fired? Where can i complaint ? My manager and my departmental head has (MAY have DECIDED to - me getting fired is not finalized but ..i might )decided to fire me based on very lame and unprofessional excuses. I was provided a deadline of 31st December but its a task that is supposed to be done by 2 people (originally i had two people on the project and then other one quit in the month of october - they found someone to replace her in december but I had to TRAIN her during the month of december adn january ). Then I had consistently ask for extension and so they provided that I take till 31st january and ... i just need 2 more days ....... Tasks i was assigned ...i mean its just one part of my job ... i also had many other responsibilities and communications and monitorings and trackers ..... etc etc
Do you think they can fire me for submitting a task 1 or 2 day late.....
Lately they have shot me down for a small tiny mistakes I have made .... but lot of the times..
I am being shot down and told off for SOMEONE else's mistake (for example that girl who left made some mistakes in APRIL of 2009 ...and I just CORRECTED that mistake but BECAUE i found the mistake i am hold responsible for that mistake )) ..... HOW is that fair ???
also ...they will add that ONCE when i was not at work for 2 days (and i had notified my manager in advance) .... i did not leave OUT OF OFFICE assistant on ... i had forgotten to do that ...and she had sent me 20 to 25 line email regarding company policy .....
but do you think she can fire me for all these reasons ...for finishing an assignment 2 days late , not leaving OUT OF OFFICE ASSISTANT ... or NOT FINDING SOMEONE ELSE"S miSTAKEs early enough ...... i mean i just did the QC of latest tasks ...so
anyways. .. i know i have been a little off track but at the same time its also the case where things have been a lot hectic with TRAINING a new employee < MEETING the DEADLInes , communicating with fellow employees in meeting their needs ..
MY manager has scheduled a MEETING tomorrow at 9 AM (1st thing in the morning ) and I am afraid what it might be for ..... i am just too scared that i might get fired ..
can someone help me out ...on how to complain against my Managers ???? if something happens ... becuz i think it is UNFAIR .. as i have been putting in lot of EXTRA hours ... at work to finish things up ..... i think i might be a little SLOW but i have provided the HIgh quality work ...if it is my responsibilities.. Question: Might anyone correct my letter, please? It is a cover letter for a traineeship in a British education centre:
Object : Application for .... Assistantship
Dear Sirs,
I am an Italian Citizen, graduated in European Languages and Cultures. I wish to apply for a :::: grant by the European Commission in the next year 2010/2011, within the .....Programme, and to spend a period in you institute/centre as an Assistant.
As you may read in my curriculum vitae, I am specialist of Spanish Language and Culture and after my degree I carried out a four-months training period in a Spanish educational centre, involved with European exchange projects, where I principally acted as a translator, didactical tutor, cultural and tourist programmes coordinator and placement manager.
My degree is essentially focused on teaching and presently I am going to start a ..... assistantship in a Spanish public school, also studying about C.L.I.L. methodology and applications.
I am very interested in knowing different European Education systems and learning new methods and practices, particularly about teaching languages to adults as a way to promote mobility, especially in the European labour market. I think that in your institute, which I know is involved in others European projects, like Vetpro programmes, for example, I might help you in a variety of activities: tutoring, preparing didactic aid, translating, collaborating in projects coordination and development, interpreting and maintaining foreign contacts, supporting the staff activities.
An experience in your centre would be a great opportunity to know directly your region and culture and improve my English, as much as in my professional life, as I could acquire new skills and competences.
I hope you may consider my proposition and I am available for any details you need about me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
...
Thank you. Question: Independent contractor or employee? I work for a company, and am categorized as an independent contractor. My employer doesn't withhold taxes on my checks, or pay FICA, and gives a 1099 instead of a W-2 at the end of the year.
I think, however, that this employer may be wrongfully categorizing me and other employees as independent contractors. I was reading this article ( http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/laborlaws/l/aa121800.htm ) and the IRS rules ( http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/laborlaws/l/aa121800_3.htm ) about the matter and this is why I think so:
- The company has a great deal of control on how, where, and when we do our jobs. We transcribe dictations for a service called Copytalk where customers call in, leave a voice message, and we type it and e-mail it to them. There are very specific standards and deadlines and procedures for different types of dictations and errors and such.
- Additionally, there is one office where everyone comes in (like a giant computer lab) and we use computers and headsets and other equipment provided by the company.
- We've been made to work 'mandatory overtime' above and beyond our scheduled hours at times when the message queue is above normal.
- The company is ostensibly run as a 'co-op', in that, all workers supposedly, after working 60 hours, own 'part' of the company (without having to buy in with paying money or anything) - but the one manager owns a controlling interest by himself. Additionally, nobody's gotten any documentation of these shares of the company.
- Everyone receives the same training from the company.
- We are paid hourly. Well, we get paid a set amount per hour of dictation we process. Let's say that amount is $20. If it takes us two hours to process one hour of audio, it equals $10 an hour.
- Even though we 'own' the company, we can't really realize a profit/loss.
- We're subject to constant supervision by shift leads, supervisors, management, QAs, etc. - like employees.
- This is a long-term (perpetual) relationship rather than for a set project for a set time.
- The company I work for, is ostensibly independent of Copytalk, and we're constantly told that "We don't work for Copytalk, Copytalk is our customer" - however, the one manager with a controlling interest and his assistant are both employees *of* Copytalk. Which makes me think they set up this company specifically to get tax breaks or some benefit.

• Location: Columbia/Jeff City, Joplin, SE Missouri, Springfield, St. Louis Question: New Manager - How do I train another person? I have been the sole person in my department for over two years. I was doing the work of at least two people, but with time was able to streamline the process to make the workload manageable. I was promoted and got an assistant that I am supposed to turn into a clone of myself. I have no training experience and realize that I am very territorial over the workload. In my review I was told to pass on more and more of the responsibility to the assistant to free myself up to take on more special projects. I have asked for management training, but the response has been very slow and I need guidance now. I definitely don't want to hinder my assistant's progression, but I am stuck in the "I could just do this myself" mentality. I need advice on how to work so that both of us move the next level. I feel responsible for molding her at this beginning stage of her career and would hate for her to move on not knowing as much as she should because I just didn’t know how to convey it to her. Question: What should I do if an Office Space promotion situation comes up? Ok I graduated school a couple years ago and got a job. Well for the last year or so I have really been debating whether or not I really want to continue on this path.

Should I stick with this company? Does anyone else think this is messed up? Question: Is there a labor Law? I still need more advised on this one. ? Well, I work for an IT company for last 3 years, and basically I wear all the hats in this company. My role is Administrative Assistant, and that includes assisting the VP and the Financial Office. It's a growing company and when I first started we were only 6 people and right now we are 22. A list of my roles are ;
Account Payable/Account Receivable, Schedule travel arrangement the VP, Answer White-paper and Columns Request,Update Sales Pipeline, Make Sales calls, Collect staff time-sheets,Keep track of Expenses,Do HR Processing, Do Notarization,Customer Service, Data entry on Working Project, Mail merge / Mail Archive,Answer Phone, Make appointments, Order supplies, Take out the trash, assign email address and extension number and so on and so on.
Well a couple of weeks a go they hired someone as an Inside Sales, and her role is to answer the White-papers and Columns and update the pipeline also to contact the people that request them. Finally I found out that no only a small part of my duty are pass on her but this person is getting paid more with potential commission earnings. Should it I be getting even more than this sales person since I do many things for them?, You know I think i'm being descrimitated against, even i don't belive in that I don't see my self with that crap!! i know that excist but, I'm very open minded and I've worked with different races, I'm I am the only minority the only hourly employee. My boss tries to avoid me and a couple of months i sent him an email requesting training for the Project Manager position that they had available and totally ignored me and never commented about it..
What should I do? should i look for something else or just leave with it, because i don't think I can. Question: I am looking for a project management related job ? I am Vipul Gupta.

Question: What should I write in the project report? The Case and requirement are listing below? Mason Cooper are a company specialising in the design and production of leisure clothing. They specifically concentrate on supplying polo shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, and hooded tops to retail outlets.
Traditionally, they have designed and produced in the same factory. At present they have 1 base in the South East of England (Eastbourne) . They employ 1 Manager, 3 Assistant Managers, 4 Admin Officers, 2 designers (contracted as/when required) and another 25 staff linked to production activities.
They have recently opened their own retail stores in Leeds, Newcastle, and Manchester. Although it was hoped that these stores would be successful, business has been poor. Therefore , in an attempt to generate sales, a special - one off – project is to be undertaken to boost sales. This project is a promotional campaign (budget £250,000) to create awareness of the company, its products, and its retail outlets.
As Project Manager responsible for the promotional campaign, you are contracted at the feasibility stage. You are required to prepare a report (2,000 words) outlining the activities required to successfully manage this major project of promoting Mason Cooper. The project must be started and finished on time, and within budget.
The analysis should include the skills and competencies required by the Project Manager, along with the project management process. Use examples of the concerns, stages, processes, leadership, administration and control problems associated with managing the lifecycle of this major project.
Question: what would a manager do in this case? I had been trying to develope my merchandising lead to become merchandising manager (my current possition) for over 4 months now. She kept on leaving projects that i assigned to her unfinish and never write a report (like i asked her to do for ever project) so that i would know how the project is coming along. She also bad-mouthed me often behind my back and today she yelled at me, curse, and threaten me. Because i criticited her on her incompleted projects and i was very upset. She even talked very loudly to the Store assistant manager when we had a meeting with her after the incident. Now, i'm afraid to work with her and i don't know what i should do. Does anyone have any advice ?
Thank you
Question: Entry level tasks at a very small company? I know it differs by job category, but what kind of tasks do entry-levels normally do at work?
I work at a very small company that has just started up. I was hired as an entry level researcher but I'm multi tasking in different fields. I do research, work as an assistant for a project manager (who is in completely different department), and even as an administrator. What my boss (or bosses) tell me is that since there is no assistants nor administrator in the office, I'm supposed to do everything since I'm the lowest in the foodchain. Is it true? I'm really curious how other small companies are like. The company did not give me the contract yet so I don't know what's under my job description.
And If you can, please give me an advice on how I could work well as an entry level.

Question: Anyone been through this before? Hi all
Just some advice about my job please.
There has recently been a lot of speculation about possible redundancies at my place of work as a result of the work my workplace does on a national level being handed over to private firms (this is assumed).
The plans are for this to happen in about 3 years time and people are speculating that because the private firms may come in we may no longer be needed and some people are saying it's better to leave now than be made redundant.
What I want to know is should I stick it out or leave? Anyone been in a similar situation and how did things turn out?
I'm very stressed and worried by all this as I have never been in this situation before so would appreciate some advice.
I work as a assistant project manager if that helps?
Thanks

Question: What kind of careers should I pursue with a BS in Civ. Eng.? ? I currently work as an assistant project manager for a construction firm. Nearly one full year in this position, I've realized that this is not for me. I've seen crane operators making way more than what I'll ever dream (six figures, easy work, and it seems to be a bit fun). I don't regret going for Civ. Eng. because the possibilities are endless in this field. I just need guidance/suggestions on what's the best route to take.
Thanks in advance!

Help before I kill myself ! Since I got a dream job in April things have gone horribly wrong from my personal life point of view! Girlfriend is having our baby in January.

Question: Where can a BA International Affairs take me? After graduating, I was offered to work in Uzbekistan as an assistant project manager. Where??? Just kidding, I know where this is. Although very flattered and gracious, I declined due to my fear of what may soon happen as the OTHER BUSH was getting ready for *&%.
I declined the offer and took a comfortable job leasing luxury apartments (which worked out b/c I finally had health insurance!) .
Seven months in I was in a horrific car accident caused by, you guessed it...a drunk driver. It wasn't pretty to say the least. I lost about a year and a half with rehab (couldn't bear weight on leg for 1yr). And, in the process I lost everything in my head that I studied in school!
I went into real estate and have enjoyed selling multi-million dollar developments since.
To make a long story short: I want more inward fulfillment from giving outward fulfillment...aka: helping others more. What can I do with my degree now?
Question: How do I become a Virtual Assistant? Does anyone know how I could get started as a Virtual Assistant? I'm interested in starting off slow, and am in no rush to do this, but I would love to get started in this career path so by the time I have children (in about 2-3 years) I can possible work from home and do what I'm great at.
I excel at almost all and any administrative tasks, and have been in the field for almost 7 years. I support a line of managers currently and do almost every type of project and admin task you could think of, so I have a lot of experience.
Basically, I would like to know if there is a way to get on board with this type of job and not have to pay $3K for some 'certificate' since I already have the experience to back it up.
Ideas/Feedback/advice? Thanks!

We think after a year we should be able to build our own house. I've looked at "Owner Builder Solutions" website they seem like a good idea has anyone used them?

Question: I cannot figure out how to put two files into an array in java. This is for a programming project please help.? A small project
You are the owner of a small computer programming company and you’ve been asked by a client to write a program for a small accounting firm that will calculate their payroll for the entire firm.
Your program will need to access two files to get the information necessary to calculate the salary for each employee. It will then output to a different file the social security number and the corresponding wage for each employee.
The first file contains the social security number and the total hours worked for each employee, while the second file contains the social security number and the title for each employee. You can assume that both files are already sorted in ascending order by the social security number. However, do not assume that the social security numbers will be at the same position in each file. You will need to do a search.
Example:
1st input file
132456789
35.5
222444555
45
322678913
60.2
333456778
55.5
455666432
40
2nd input file
132456789
Clerk
222444555
Manager
236333211
Custodian
322678913
Assistant Manager
333456778
Accountant
455666432
Clerk
Output file
132456789
461.5
222444555
1800
322678913
1204
333456778
1665
455666432
520
Your program should be able to handle overtime which is calculated at time and a half over 40 hours worked.
Assuming that no employee is a salaried worker, the following describes the rate for each type of employee at the firm.
Custodians - $10
Clerks - $13/hr
Accountants - $30/hr
Assistant managers - $20/hr
Managers - $40/hr
* You will be given both input file for your program. As usual you must print your output file with your source code.
Question: How can I use jealousy in a positive way? I have just started a job and I was happy after 11 months of unemployment. My problem now is the following: in my team, I work with a female Project Manger who is 2 yrs younger than me. I have questioned her about her career path because our HR dpt asked us to complete an online Employee Development Plan. She told me that she started at a low level then progressed smoothly: Customer Service, Reception, Marketing Assistant,..., Project Lead and now Project Manager. She is been working there for...14 yrs. She is a good looking person, chic, approachable, controls her image and knowledgeable about the company. People respect her. She married last year to another manager in the same company and she is expecting a child. She has plans to buy a house abroad for holidays. She earns £50k a year, she nicely told me. She replaces the Director when he is absent. I feel that she found the right company or maybe she is the perfect employee! She has never been unemployment!.
Well she looks like the person I have always wanted to be, but it is too late!. I have been struggling professionally all my life, making the wrong choices or being out of work. I also have a strong personality and a...temper! I like this woman but I cannot stop feeling jealous...every day and I feel sad!. I don't know what I will become in 14 yrs! In all my previous companies, I have never felt I will last. I have worked as Project Manager before...for 12 months!. How can I use this jealousy in a positive way? Is it possible now to be like her. I will have kids at the age of 50, no problem! LOL Never been jealous before.
Question: What approach should be taken to pursue a PhD related to urban planning or social/economic geography? I have a Bachelors with a double major in Political Science and Urban Studies and a Master in Urban Planning with an emphasis on community development (social and economic aspects of urban planning). I got the masters in 1997. I have had no more formal university education in 10 years and I am in my mid-30s. I have been working in the affordable housing industry as a staff assistant, property manager and administrator.
I had always planned to pursue my education further and family and friends thought the same, but I got to eat and pay bills. I've always had a thirst for knowledge and research and finding out things for either the sake or learning or to apply it to something. I got my masters straight after getting my bachelors, so I had been in school 6 straight years after high school, so some associates joked about me not been in the real world. Now, after 10 years in the real world, I now have the ironic opposite problem of trying to find the best way to get back into "academic" shape. Heck, I've only been to the public library three times since getting my masters. I do have lots of practical continued education related to my job or keeping up with standard office software and do have a lot of books from my own library that I read, however.
These are some options I'm exploring:
(1) Take some classes at local state university and/or through distance education colleges to get study habits back and strenthen transcript (it is possible, though not necessarily an absolute goal that I could get second bachelors from this route from a college like Excelsior), then pursue PhD
(2) Pursue the MBA, then pursue PhD
(3) Pursue Masters Degree in another area such as economics or geography that complements my previous education on the political science and urban studies side, then pursue PhD
Back 10 years ago when I was still in grad school, the professor who was my advisor had suggested to me that I go to an MBA program. I had not thought about going to get an MBA before, but he saw that I had loaded up my urban planning coursework with electives in social statistics and economics (he knew I could have taken a lot easier courses). He wanted me to consider going to a place like Wharton. He felt that the combination of a masters in urban planning and an MBA would be a dynamic combination for someone interested in community development. I considered that, but like I said, I need to eat and since I came from very modest means (poor), I needed to work. I am was already in debt trouble, so I wasn't interested in taking on more student loans and will not ever take out any more student loans (and I intend to self-finance any future education and/or pursue any available grants).
Now that I've been out for so long, not only am I academically rusty but I've also lost contacts with potential recommenders (a few of whom have since passed including my graduate advisor). So as I see it, at the minimum I need to take a few college courses just to make sure I still got the touch, as well as for the regular business of getting recommenders and strengthening my transcript.
I anticipate that the pursuit of the PhD in my situation will be a 8-12 year project. I'm now in my mid-thirties, so I would hope to have the PhD completed by the time I'm in my early to mid-forties. I expect to start my comeback with a course this Fall. For the next year or so, I expect to stay enrolled continuously either in a traditional course or distance education course.
