Do you think this is fair or right for employer to act this way?

My husband has been out of work for a week because his boss sent him home last week with instructions to call him in a week to see if he will remain at his job. His boss has not returned any of his calls. My husband’s income is the only source of income we have to provide for our two children since I am a full time student. We greatly depend upon his income.
Upon the boss sending my husband home, he said it’s because he is too productive and he cannot believe that he can work like that. The other employees verify that he works hard and is the best at what he does. My husband tends to work at work and doesn’t “milk” the clock or the pockets of the companies that hire the boss’ company to do a job. My husband has been doing his job for 5 years with different companies and always gets great reviews because he gets the job done and gets it done safe (he has always been accident free). He often works 60 hours a week – just as all the other employees do – but unlike the other employees who dilly around on job sites and pull half the amount of loads that my husband does, my husband does not dilly around and uses his time to every advantage to get more done.There are days when the boss’ list is incredibly long and will require the employees to work from 7 am to 9 pm. On these days, which have been very often lately, my husband really likes to step it up and really work hard to get the list completed so they do not have to stay at work, working in the dark, driving at night, and so they can get home in time to get good sleep so they can get back up in the morning and be back to work at 6:30 am. The day my husband got sent home was the day after he completed almost triple the amount of work the rest of the employees got. The other employees were thrilled about this because otherwise they would have had to stay out until midnight to finish the job. Because of how much work my husband did, the employees got to clock out at the usual time. Plus, the business that hire the boss’ company are happy because the job is done and production is up. My husband has actually gotten the boss’ company work because he works for this company and they know the job will get done. Now, my husband is sort of being punished for working too hard – for getting the job done. Worse yet, the boss seems to be totally avoiding the situation by not returning calls. This seems really unprofessional and almost childish. It has left us uncertain about how we are going to pay our bills in the next few weeks since the company does not have sick or vacation time – every day that my husband is out of work, hurts us badly. There are not a lot of jobs in this area that pay nearly as well and I am actually thinking I need to drop out of school, put the kids in day care and go find work too.
I understand that the boss literally wants the employees to “milk” the clock so it puts tons of money in his pockets, but that does not seem to be ethically right to do all the time – nor does it allow these employees who are CDL drivers to get home in time to get good rest. They have to be at work at 6:30 am and often do not get home until 10 pm and they all work a rotating 5 day on 2 day off schedule.
Do you think the boss is being fair or professional? What do you advise?

I recieved a response to a job that I applied for, but I feel like it might be a scam. What do you think?

How should I handle my concerns with my Dad’s healthcare provider?

My dad went in for a voluntary experimental surgery in March because of his history with strokes. Immediately after the surgery, while still in the hospital, he suffered the most severe stroke I’ve seen, short of the one that killed his cousin instantly. He was rushed into an emergency surgery, with only my mother’s consent. They should have asked me as my parents are not married and I’ve been assigned as his legal representative. But I would have consented.

It left him paralyzed on his left side, unable to talk, disoriented to his surroundings, and with little hope for recovery.

The doctor who proposed and performed the initial surgery who had been overseeing his care ever since his previous stoke, a month and a half before the surgery, seems to have lost interest since this experiment failed to prevent future strokes.

He spent two months in the hospital learning to swallow, regaining feeling on his left side, and trying to withstand sitting in a chair for half hour periods of time. As he became aware of his surroundings, his social worker approached us about his weak health and suggestions for a skilled nursing facility.

The idea was dreadful to me as I had sworn growing up that I would never let my parents be put in one of those awful places that I had watched my grandfather rot in. With the help of my aunt, a clinical psychologist, and my uncle, an attorney (both from out of state), I found a location that had a 4 out of 5 star rating from the department of health and human services, was close to home, took his state issued insurance,would accept him despite his declining condition, and even went so far as to talk about nothing but his recovery and eventual return home. After reading reviews and contacting social services, and doing all the homework I could imagine doing prior to placing a loved one in their care, I made arrangements for my father’s transportation.

First thing that happened was that my dad went from swallowing on his own back to needing a feeding tube again. He then started to get better. He tries harder when my 6 month old daughter, who he named, is present and so I try to bring her before and after work every day.

Then he caught pneumonia. You would think this would be fine in a medical facility, but they couldn’t get the right iv in him and they sent him to the very hospital where his mother had died from pneumonia 20 years ago. (I might add that I made extra efforts to keep him out of the nursing home his father had died in) The hospital noticed that he had severe bedsores in areas generally covered by his minimal clothing. So severe they delayed his return and contacted adult protective services.

I haven’t said anything to the nursing staff about my concerns. I don’t want him to be treated badly when I’m not around if they sense problems. The staff is very friendly when I’m there, the patients (including my dad) seem very happy. Those who can be active, are active. I can’t imagine that they’re simply not doing their job of moving him around to prevent bedsores. Shouldn’t the movement of being in a chair for an hour a day and out to physical therapy twice a day alone be enough to prevent bedsores?

My dad is incapable of speaking for himself. I am his voice. But he smiles when asked if he’s happy there and seems satisfied that he stays until he can go home. His only gripe is he can’t see the baby until he’s past the pnuemonia.

I feel like he’s been abandoned by the doctor who started all of this and isn’t getting quite the care he needs where he is. Should I look into finding where I can move him? Would moving him be a good idea at this stage? He’s 3 miles from me and I pass him on my way to and from work every day so as it is, I can keep an eye on him. What should I be looking for? What questions should I be asking so as not to seem like I don’t think they’re doing their job?

My boss just offered to let me work from home one day a week. Should this impact my asking for a raise?

I manage a small business and am the only employee. My boss has been kind enough to recently tell me that if I’d like to work from home on Friday’s I was welcome to do so. I jumped at the chance, and am very excited about it. With the type of business I’m in, I may only have
5 or so phone calls on my work from home day! So, to me I just was given an extra day off! But, I am due for a review and a raise in a few months. Last year, I was given a $1 per hour raise towards my $16 hr salary. Should I still ask for my annual raise? I really appreciate his offer, but I still need the extra money as finances are tight at home.

Genuine ways to work from home and earn money working from home?

Does anyone know of any genuine reputable companies that employ home workers to do data input, telephone work (of a moral nature) market research, packing, anything that will result in a salary that allows me to earn enough to survive? any other ideas for home working also welcome. I had asked a similar question recently, but it was removed before i had a chance to review all the answers.
Many thanks. And a very happy new year to you all.
I forgot to mention i’m in the UK, perhaps there is a way to ensure only users in the Uk get to see this question, but i’m not sure how to do it, there’s a seperate question to ask…

How much free time do engineers and engineer technicians have away from work?

I am thinking about being an engineer or engineering technician for either mechanical or electronics, but I am afraid I won’t have much free time away from work. When I get out of the office (or site/plant) at the end of my shift, I want to do other things besides work. I don’t want to be at home reviewing charts or doing research for a project at work. I want to do other things like spending time with family/friends and exercising and playing sports. I would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks very much.

i have been a nurse for 27 years.new pos. less money. co. out there to do med. transcription from home?

How to get Information Technology Related teleworker job from abroad for me with over 30 years IT experience?

I would like to work from home for any IT company using Internet. I can do document review like Specification , manuals and give suggestions for improvement

I need to get out of here… I am literally on the verge of something?

Long story short – I live with my parents, I went to university for 2 months, hated it so I got a job, hated the job so left it after 6 months.

Now I am working for my dads business – its doing very badly, I have made no money working for him and he has also made almost nothing and has had to let go of ALL his staff and close down his offices and is now working from home.

Because we are so broke now – our home is being repossessed and we really dont know what we are going to do.

I am so fed up with this crap – I just want somewhere I can go where I will be supported and my true potential will be harbored and used effectively.

I am in debt now and am losing my hair because of it – I am only 20 years old and this really is not how I pictured life to be once leaving high school.

Does anyone know of where I can where they would take me under their wing and help me out so that in the long term I can help them out. Sort of like ‘investing’ in me

Thanks in advance

Can someone please edit my essay?

Social workers must have integrity. This ethical core value is endlessly important. It is the standard of deciding what is right and wrong and what each of us ought to do usually in terms of rights and obligations, benefits, common good, least harm, and social justice for all individuals. These are all central to what social workers want to create en equal Social workers must adhere to the ethical principles of integrity on maintaining a high code of behavior, honesty, trust, being respected, and having a sense of justice and fairness. Being honest and having integrity can be a guide for everything that one does. What to do when no one is watching, knowing the difference between doing the right thing and wrong thing, and keeping your word are all examples of integrity. These are attributes that social workers should practice as professionals and in their everyday lives. Having integrity is respected both in personal and professional relationships .One needs to display a certain amount of sincerity and morals when working with clients. A social worker, specifically, must uphold the highest level of morality and maintain that level when other people try to challenge their views and test their wills. When social workers are challenged with ethical situations, they have to maintain a sense of integrity to their profession, ethics, and principles. We need to understand that clients have different values and beliefs from our own and as social workers we have to be open to learning about these differences and behave in an ethical manner.

Diversity means a myriad of things to people and for me; diversity never was and never will be a bad thing. It is the differences in the decisions that we make, the way we think, act, behave, and choose to live our lives. People tend to be uncomfortable when they mention diversity. Diversity is more than gender and race. People are diverse with their age, personality, experiences. lifestyles and sexual orientations. When we look at diversity, we must look beyond our own race and gender and take a broader view of things that make up the whole person and makes us all unique. We are all unique individuals that want to be treated with respect and dignity and treat others the same way in return. Overall, diversity is what enriches individuals’ lives. For myself, I know that I was able to learn from other cultures and have an open mind when our views differed from one another.

For example, I am an individual of mixed heritage: African American and Mexican American. I lived in a small community in Southern Texas in which mostly the population was all Spanish. From the aspect of having lived with individuals from diverse cultures, eventually I learned to speak Spanish. When I moved to California, my views were broadened by other cultures; therefore, I was more open to learning from people of other cultures. I started working at a group home when I noticed that there were diverse individuals from many cultures. For instance, one of my friends I met while working there was from the Philippines. To me, learning about her culture was interesting to me because I connected with her on the level of our shared language, Spanish. I later learned that people have different ways to look at things and often will solve problems in different ways. Sometimes, people need to take a step back from their own selves and look at how we view people who are unlike ourselves. Embracing diversity means committing to looking beyond those unlike us. It is important to be opening minded and non-judgmental when interacting and communicating with people of diverse backgrounds. My cultural background has provided me with the capacity to work effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I am culturally competent with the ability to speak Spanish and able to relate to those clients that are non-English speaking. I feel that I can assist them in however they need help, whether it is physically or emotionally.

Homelessness is a matter of concern anywhere in the world, but is a particular cause for concern and shame when it occurs in the richest nation in the world. The definition of homelessness can vary. It includes not only those who are living on the streets or in shelters and hotels but also those who are living in temporary accommodation or in housing that is unfit for human conditions. There are at least 600,000 homeless men, women, and children in the United States. But one-third of this population is composed of families with children.
I’m sure everyone has seen this- people driving by and watching people sleeping on the sidewalks. Or you see someone with a sign saying “I’m hungry, have no money, and need food.” This is really sad because most people assume that people that are homeless are bumbs, drug addicts, or mentally-ill. But that is not true. More and more people that are homeless are women and children. On the one hand, the government should get involved with this is
