You shouldn't have to use your money from your own paychecks to reward yourself.  If they want to do a reward system, it should come out of their pockets, or don't do it.  I won't particapate in the fundraisers, nor the rewards, since it is not ethical.  Is there a higher source to go to, like your boss's boss to voice your compliants in writing?

From the information you've given, I strongly recommend documenting everything that happens or is discussed between you and your employer.  It sounds as if this person is in financial trouble and you may have a problem with getting the money you're owed.  \nIf your employer is 4 weeks behind the normal, scheduled pay dates you should first attempt to solve the problem by telling the employer you need your money immediately. I also recommend looking for an alternate method of providing income for your family.  \nIf the employer will not terminate employment, and you have not signed a casual labor contract, you need to speak with a labor relations officer.  This can be done at your local employment insurance office.  It sounds as if you work for a small organization and unfortunately your employer is not interested in taking care of his employees.  \n\nGood luck and remember to follow the proper channels so that you have moral superiority and the law on your side.

Try a local community bank, real estate office,auto dealership, factory, or other very visible community business.We did this for a charity event. The sponsor(s) will want to see their name plastered on everything.Ask if they have a banner or something that you can display during games.Do not display anything for free. Get a corporate logo on pdf file & make sure all newsletters, forms, correspondence, etc. you send has their logo on it. Good luck.Big box stores(Lowe's,Walmart,some grocery stores can often help out w/ small amounts, $100.00 or so, and will often donate gift cards. Have you thought about a raffle?

It is up to the store on a case by case basis but seeing as how it was a month after that the price reduction occured, I believe that they are correct here. If it was to occur only a few days after then there might be a case. There would be no way for them to know that the price would drop by such a large price. \nUsually what occurs is that the manufacturers put out a new model of the same product and the retailer reduces the cost of the old model to make way for the newer one. Otherwise, it could be up to higher management to make the decision as to pricing.\nThey wouldn't have done it to be malicious but you can ask them that the next time you want to buy something they might do you a better deal. \nIn the electrical retail market, pricing rarely stays the same for products due to the fact that the get superceded and replaced often.\nDon't blame the store but do ask them for the best price next time (use cash, folding cash not card) and ask them if this product will be replaced in the near future or if it is new to the market.\n\nSorry buddy, but you might just have to put this one down to bad timing.\n\ndenalbert suggested take it back and get a refund - after a certain length of time, this probably won't be an option as there is only a small window for refunds based on 'change of mind' Unless there is a legit problem they won't do this.\nironstu3 said - tell them it's faulty. Most places will test this before the refund is given Once again they won't just go 'oh of course we'll believe that this expensive tv is faulty just because you say it is, here is your money back'\n\nYou can try the old 'changed my mind' approach and see if it works for you. My old company wouldn't, not after a month.\n\nWhy don't you ask them to see if they have any bonuses or freebies that they can give you to sweeten the deal. DVD player etc. Or a gift voucher to be spent in store next time?\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!!

Usually the HUD people will help relocate them. Check into it before you start fundraising. Also if you don't form a non-profit status, you will have to pay income tax on any money you raise, even if you do give it away. Hope those people are ok though.

you should contact the store manager. If the manager doesn't provide any answers for you ask for human resource number or find it out yourself and just explain the situation to them. How you were missed informed. they should help you especially if you mention cancelling your membership

Local resturants have things were you can get people in the door and you get 5-10% of everything they sell, to all customers who mentioned you brought them in. You can contact krispy-creams and sell cards for them to make money. Have a car wash, a bake sale, a yard sale, good luck. I had mine removed 10 years ago, it was so nice to have it removed I felt 100 times better. Good luck. People are so willing to give all you have to do is ask.

My apartment building burned to the ground on January 26,2003.\nApproximately 30 people including myself lost every thing they owned. I lost my car when the building collapsed and managed to walk away that morning with just my daughter, my dog and my purse. \nPeople from all over the county came together to make sure every family in that building had a place to stay that night.\nChurches and civic groups arranged to have furniture and housewares donated by merchants in the area, families donated \nclothes, housewares and more furniture.  Total strangers donated $ to a fund set up to help each family get into a new apartment and to make sure their utilities were connected.\nI worked at a car dealership @ the time and the owner of the dealership gave me a car to drive until I had saved up enough $ to pay for it.\nI had $96.00 in my bank account and an 8 year old daughter to support and was left with absolutely nothing due to something beyond my control and total strangers chose to help me and make sure that I had everything my family needed to get on with our lives.\nI have a completely new understanding of what people's kindness can do. I want to be able to make people realize that you can start over, all you may need is a hand.

IMO, I don't think you were wrong. I think it's very nice of you to split the loss the way you did. The fact that they still had a job after this should have made the guy greatful. I mean, even McDonald'sould fire you if your draw comes up $20 or more short. Good grief, if someone does a "gas and go" at your station while your working it comes out of your paycheck..you're a nice boss! I'm not sure if anyone here can tell you what you should do, but I think you were as nice as any employee could have hoped for. Sorry about what happened to you.

These people are for decoration purpose only.Save your breath and file complaint to the management every time you walk into the store and go to their website if they have one when you have time,regularly,complain.You will see the difference.

I think that would depend on what state you live in. I think they all have different laws about what can and can't be done work wise. When he was hired, did they tell him how he would be paid? Does he have enough work everyday to carry him over 42 hours? Or is the company trying to 'cut back'? I would call the labor dept. and find out or even see if there is a Federal Dept. that could help. Is there an owner of the company or a District Manager or main office you can call? In Georgia, an employer can basically do whatever they want with an employee and get away with it. It is up to the employee to provide proof of whatever is going on but still the employer can always change the story or whatever. CALL YOUR LOCAL LABOR DEPT. and ask them who can help you with this problem.

Bring up a lawsuit against them with well documented hours of work and some from of job description and any pay stubs.  I hate that I am telling you this, but I do not like it when people abuse their weaknesses. Once a lawsuit is brought up they normally get a temp work VISA to stay in the country until is is settled, but by then most are able to find a better job and able to get extensions.  Had one subcontracts employee sue an apartment and got a work visa out of it. It is some times a risk, but you your friends case it just might work.  contact a good lawyer and you just might pull if off.

The charities auction off the cars and use the proceeds.  I donated an old SUV once and I've personally known charities who use that system.  It works out well.  Just investigate any charity that you donate to first, as there are a lot of scams out there.

I purchased a used 1993 K1500 Chevy pickup from you in May of 2003. There was a 4 inch suspension lift kit on the truck at the time of purchase. Unfortunately the tie rod broke and I am having a very difficult time understanding why your company is asking for $900.00 for a new one.\n\nI have been informed by your employeest hat this is a common problem. I am sure you will appreciaite that this situation is unacceptable and is causing me a great deal of personal and financial inconvience. \n\nI would ask that you find away to reticfy this problem as quickly as possibale. I have alays had faith in your company but this episode has colored my view.

I know what you mean.  I had a "permanent temporary" position in the receiving office of a warehouse that also had a lot of "permanent temporary" warehouse workers.  The temps were paid less than half the hourly rate of the regular employees and received no benefits.  One of the warehouse managers would always remark about the "lazy temps" and the "stupid temps" even though often the temps would be doing all the work as their own employees did nothing.  Also, in all the time I worked there (about 8 months) not once did a temp cause an accident, but at least three times, the same company employee ran into someone with a forklift, and they didn't care because it was a temp that he hit every time.  Once they even brought in pizza, had the company employees eat, then told the temps we could eat the leftovers.  I flatly told them that if I want pizza, I will go and buy it fresh, but I do not eat anyone else's scraps.  They then said that I had an "attitude".

I'm an Employment Consultant in Raleigh, NC. I send people to UPS for package handleing positions. The position, at least here, requires a lot of physical stamana. Continous, non-stop lifting of upto 75 lbs. You begin work at a set time and finish whenever the trucks stop comming. It could be 5 hrs, it could be 12 hrs...and you don't get so much as a bathroom break while you are there. The environment is freezing cold in the winter and hot as all blazes in the summer. Holiday times obviously have alot more work than normal (especially Christmas). On the plus side, the pay is usually very good for that type of work and it is usually the only way to get yopur foot in the door with this company which is generally a very good one.
