There seems to be a new generation of workers that think they can get buy by lieing, cheating and wrongfully tattling on co-workers. It makes them think they can get ahead and makes for a very bad workplace. Problem is when the boss is their friend and is an idiot who was promoted because he couldn’t do his job , makes for a bad situation all around. Time to go.

Hey, congrats in not working for 3 years! I do not agree that one shouldn’t burn bridges when leaving a job. I do not believe anyone should be treated like dirt. That said, I have had no problems in finding a job, even after “burning” bridges. Be proud, be wise and plan ahead. If you have talent and a good resume, you’ll be able to find a job, regardless of burning bridges. A good employer knows there are good and bad managers and will look at both sides.

I went back to college, graduated with high honors and I’m still making a lousy salary. I work for a boss who procrastinates on her work and then gives it to me to do. I work/but don’t get paid overtime, but I still consider myself lucky to have a job to get up and go to in the morning. I have the utmost confidence that things will get better. I find a positive attitude goes a long way. Yup. a positive attitude and a cocktail.

Hello out there in TV land, hope you are all doing well. I count myself extrememly, extremely lucky in that I bought a house and land for 7K,(no, I’m not selling anything, but let me know if you want more info) am fixing it up little by little, have not worked a “regular” job in over 3 years, ((I work temp jobs when required, and even manage to put back a little here and there)), and when the house is done and completely paid for, all I will have is lights, water, phone, cable, etc. Car is paid for. Kids are grown and gone. This is truly living – not to stress over “how will I pay the mortgage, how will I pay this or that?” Yes, my car is older, yes, I don’t have the latest fashions, but I’m HAPPY and not stressed. Amen!

It is sad; but, true. People get ahead these days for all the WRONG reasons. The low cut tops even work on women who prefer women. Imagine that, an all new low. I had to compete with a blonde who had a boss who was in love with her. Her boss (a female) preferred blondes so no matter how hard I worked, that was that. Unfortunately, this is the way of the world now. Only pretty and loose women get ahead of average looking women and men.

100% Correct! It is a good thing to share experiences on a board like this. It is real!!! Employers have 1 goal in mind- their own happiness(which ussually means, more money for ivestors or shareholders) it is bad out here. You ussually find this out when you are not working for 9 hrs a day. We the people work our lives not live. IT WILL NOT CHANGE unless you move to another country. THIS IS THE AMERCIAN way

1. Network. This is a very valuable tool that will prove useful time and time again as proven by your boss’s phone call. Build your own network enhancing your own reputation.
2. Don’t give up or give in to the “I’m 56 what now” thinking. Objectivity about the market and your skills regardless of age will get you where you want to be at this point in your career. The difficulty in hiring someone 56 years old is evident in your statement of ONLY 5-1/2 years left. Short timer’s syndrome, ONLY 5-1/2 years to go instead of thinking my career where to I want to go?
