Re: Poll: Receive paycheck when office closed due to hurricane?
 

I get vacation and sick pay (and I've taken about 4 sick days in 6 years), that's about it. Never worked less than 40 hours, never been paid for more. Total BS.

But yeah 4_2_it, I see your point that you can't blame the employer completely... assuming a strategy has been given to the employees. No such animal. I've told this guy multiple times that we need to sit down and figure out exactly how much productivity we need out of everybody to be where we need to be, and how much can be allocated towards marketing, and in turn, whether or not those two variables are compatible.

Every time he's just pulled two numbers out of his ass: "uh, we need everyone to sell $X per month and we can only spend $Y per month on advertising." No analysis, nothing... just pulls the numbers out of the sky and ignores the topic.

Unfortunately, however, Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com are only your friends if you know what you're looking for and know what you wanna do with your life.

That isn't me at this point. Maybe unemployment will get me off my ass.

=(

Yippie.

Looks like we get hurricane pay. I didn't have anything to worry about. He just wanted to read the entire thing digit for digit and watch me nod my head 100 times indicating that the numbers were correct.

There's a half hour of my life I'll never get back.

oh well. lunch over. back to work.

I posted my resume on both 3 years ago and was contacted by several prospective employers. I wound up takinga job with one and relocating my family. I am also in the accounting field. PM me if you want more info.

So it sounds like you work for a very small company that flies by the seat of its pants. I've been there. It sucks worrying about making payroll and seeing mistakes that a 2nd year Podunk U business student drunk off his a$$ wouldn't make. I wish you you good luck in the future.
