Why Do Companies Today Just Not Care About Employees Anymore??????

cabergren @cabergren (1181) • United States 28 Jan 07

I worked for a company for 14 years. I worked very hard for those 14 years. Putting in tons of overtime and working like crazy. I trained so many people I lost count. I did everything they asked me and more. The company started to...

rllee07 I had the same thing happen to me. I worked for a Fortune 500 Company for 23 years and my job was eliminated at the end of last year. I believe in my case and maybe your too that outsourcing, mostly to India because of the cheap labor rate is the...

Does Anyone Write Letters Anymore?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 22 Jan 07

Just yesterday I received a letter in the mail from one of my older sisters. She lives several states away and we never talk. I was so pleased to get that letter. She just wanted to say hi and catch up with me since she never...

rllee07 I don't right letters and do use mostly email for communication. What surprises me the most is that they have stopped teaching students cursive or script writing since it is not used enough. My daughter is in K+ and she will only be taught how to print no...

If Rent is Late , Should Landlord still do repairs to home?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 22 Jan 07

A lady I work with has lost the heat in her home. She wont call the landlord to fix it because she has not paid this months rent. I told her to call him anyway. She says she is just not comfortable asking him to fix heater...

rllee07 Yes, she should still call the landlord especially this time of year. If her landlord has accepted her late payments often that it's fair to assume that it's acceptable or else he would have asked her to move. Heat is a need right now not a want.

Even San Diego has turned into an icebox this winter.

hassanchop @hassanchop (820) • United States 21 Jan 07

Seriously. Lows have been 30-35 almost every night. They got to the low to mid 20s last week. One morning before work I had to clear ice off of my windshield. I live just 200 feet above sea level, and nearby Escondido, which is...

rllee07 I live in Minnesota and the climate has changed dramatically here say the last 10 years. We finally just got snow a week ago. Our snowfall average can't be a total of more than 8 inches all winter. Our summers are also getting not so much hotter but humid....

sendil143 @sendil143 (183) • India 21 Jan 07

Heres a question everyone should have an opinion about. Ill start by saying I think credit cards are a very bad thing for most people. These companies knowingly give people who cant afford to pay for them cards so they end up...

rllee07 I agree with you but unfortunately is has been through my own experience. When you use them you don't feel as if you spending money. It's so hard to get out of debt and if you finally do get out of debt it is such a freeing feeling. The screening process...

Was there a time when you felt unhappy with your life?

lilmeowsy @lilmeowsy (685) • Philippines 18 Jan 07

Have you ever been depressed about your life? Well, I have.I used to feel that a lot especially when I was younger. I used to feel that I was always alone and that nobody cared and loved me. I admit to have attempted to take my...

rllee07 Yeah, I've suffered from mild depression for many years. This past year was one of the worst of my life. My husband turned into an alcholic after we lost our first child at 6 months back in 1999. Each year it just got worse. This summer he was arrested one...

rllee07 It would help to have more details such as the age of the dog and what kind of medical problems your dog is having and the cost. If you dog is 10 or over I would have him euthanized (put to sleep) but if the dog is still like 6 or 7 I probably would do what...

rllee07 Make sure you display the clothes either on manikans or on hangers and add accessories to the item in the front of the rack to give customers and idea of what they can do with the clothes to dress them up plus you will have more multi item sales. I don't...

Which Would You Prefer? A High Paying Job Or A Job You Love?

Brentsky @Brentsky (164) • United States 18 Jan 07

So which would it be? The money, or the joy you have at work. Personally I would prefer to have a career that I love. Something that I wouldn't mind doing day after day and I enjoy. Sure, lots of money would be nice but having a...

rllee07 From experience I would choose a job that you love over pay. I just left a fortune 500 company after 23 years (I took a voluntary buy out) because jobs were being eliminated. It was hard to leave the benefits and all behind but on my last day (2 weeks ago) I...

Am I Too Old To Meet A Man?

kumikosuzuki83 @kumikosuzuki83 (161) • Japan 18 Jan 07

rllee07 No don't get married until you feel ready and are in a relationship in which you are very happy. If you are getting a college education continue to do so. Or find a career and get established first. The only positive thing I can say about getting married...

It may be as simple as washing your hands

Poison_Girl @Poison_Girl (4150) • United States 18 Jan 07

I'm so sick and tired of friends and people complaining because they're ALWAYS getting sick. Well, people, if you would just wash your hands every once in a while, maybe you wouldn't get sick all the time!! Seriously, it's as...

rllee07 I agree with you. A person should wash their hands frequently throughout the day. Any door knob, shopping cart, hand rail, etc. that you touch can get you sick if someone else who is sick also touched it prior to that. The second thing to do is to try not...

rllee07 I have two kids who are ages 6 and 3. From all the research and reading I have done a child usually is not ready until 28 months of age to start potty training. When you try to push your child into going - it will probably just get worse. I think you should...

rllee07 This is a hard one to respond to. . .I understand both sides of the situation. Even though you haven't seen your dog exhibit any kind of violence doesn't mean he/she is incapable of it. You see it over and over again in the news where the owner says "my dog...
