tehpau @tehpau (340) • Malaysia 27 Mar 13

Most of use will try to look for some other job before we quit our current one. Usually companies will require employee to give at least 1 month's notice before they leave the job. The new company do not mind waiting for a month...

ram_cv I just changed my job. My company also had a three months clause and my new company was willing to bide the time. In fact, I also took a month long vacation after the three months, so actually they were waiting for 4 months. But you are right not everyone is...

ram_cv I think getting your main job is more important than spending time here. But mylot is a lot of fun, so you can still spend time while winding down. Cheers! Ram

I have just said to my boss that I'll severance on next month. I and him had a big argument yesterday. Then, I think that I shouldn't work here more. He accepted my suggestion. However, he begins to look for my old faults to...

ram_cv I think you and your boss don't see eye to eye then you are in a real tough situation. I think if there are other options available go for them. But otherwise if you still need to keep the job for financial security, then it might be worthwhile to calm...

Would you take a paycut?

cutepenguin @cutepenguin (6431) • Canada 29 Mar 13

my husband starts a new job next week. This job is a salaried position that does not pay overtime, whereas his previous job was salaried but you could be paid overtime, so even though the base salary is higher, he will be bringing...

ram_cv I think job satisfaction is a very important content of a job package. Most often people just concentrate on the pay package and miss the rest. Often this leads them to lead a discontented life and their performance dropping over the long run and then the pay...

Certain goals to meet.

edsss17 @edsss17 (4394) • Philippines 30 Mar 13

Hi everyone! :) While most of my friends are away having and enjoying their summer vacation, I'm here in my room working almost 24 hours to meet a certain goal for next month. But, it seems impossible for me to reach it but I...

ram_cv I think the best way to reach challenging goals is not to give up. But you need to be a bit careful when you accept such goals. Ideally these should be just beyond your current capacity so that with a bit more effort you can achieve it. If it is too much...

Wales has beaten Scotland 2-1. They have produce a repeat of their comback at Cardiff to beat Scotland. Wales is on course to qaulify for 2014 WC in Brazil. Scotland form still remain poor and may not qaulify for the WC in...

ram_cv I think it is a good win for Wales. On paper these were two well balanced sides. I did not see the match, but maybe the Bale factor might have been the advantage for Wales. Cheers! Ram

ram_cv 8-0 is a one-sided affair any way you look at it. :) For England with the ongoing Rio episodes and the defensive backline problems, this was exactly what the doctor would have ordered. A morale boosting one-sided hammering of a fledgling side. Cheers! Ram

Spain 1-1 Finland. Now Spain would face difficulty!

hzhan2005 @hzhan2005 (158) • China 22 Mar 13

Great job by Temmue Pukki to score and thus this match came into draw. Now both team got one point. Spain had many chances but unfortunately they only scored once while the Finns also got one goal. Now as France won again,...

ram_cv As defending champions don't Spain automatically qualify for the next finals? But the result was really not a great one for Spain as they were expected to win the match pretty easily. Spain vs. France would be a great match. Cheers! Ram

Michael Owen

Jkct02 @jkct02 (2874) • Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia 21 Mar 13

Michael Owen has just announced that he is going to retire at the end of the current season. Michael Owen was a quick and pacey striker. His scoring record of 222 goals in 480 senior games speaks well of his capability. He...

Manchester United

jp24garcia @jp24garcia (36) • Philippines 21 Mar 13

With a 15-point lead above the Barclays Premier League. Manchester United will have no doubt raise that 20th league title at the end of the season. Too bad for City after just missing Balotelli from AC Milan.

ram_cv I think the title race is finally over. I do not see anyway that Man City can overhaul this lead in the remaining 10 matches. I think this is Man United's title to lose now. Cheers! Ram

somdev devvarman vs Djokovic

abhi333 @abhi333 (407) • India 24 Mar 13

In the third round of Miami Masters, Novak Djokovic is up against a young Indian tennis player, somdev devverman, a player returning from injury and a career high rank of 64. In the past couple of tournaments, somdev has been...

ram_cv I think one thing that Somdev has shown in the past few months is the fighting spirit. He rarely goes down without a fight in a match. So I do expect him to give a tough fight to the Djoker. But, it would be a real tough ask to expect an upset. As you...

Is Ganguly jealous of Dhoni's success?

Abhijit Bangal @abhi_bangal (5518) • Ahmednagar, India 10 Mar 13

Saurav Ganguly seems to be too busy these days. First he questioned Dhoni's position as the #1 Indian captain. Now he is saying that it was Dhoni who had a role to play in ousting Sehwag. Haven't these two things come when Dhoni...

Ganguly questions Dhoni's position as number one Indian captain

amitjoamon @amitjoamon (117) • India 10 Mar 13

Although record says so, but as per Ganguly best captain is the one who win matches abroad for his team. Which i think is a good point,and which means Ganguly himself is the best captain ever for India. Good one dada, you can hit...

ram_cv I agree with Ganguly, but it is also important to win matches at home. So yes, Dhoni still has to improve his record overseas, but so far he is doing pretty decent. In fact, I have been one of the big critics of Dhoni's captaincy in test matches. But in the...

Virender Sehwag has been dropped for the next two Tests

Abhijit Bangal @abhi_bangal (5518) • Ahmednagar, India 7 Mar 13

If I heard it right, Virender Sehwag has been dropped for the next two Tests by India. How do you see it? Is it a strategical move (which I believe is not), is it to bring his confidence by or is it just because he is out of form?...
