The job that i have now, I am supposed to work Monday thru Friday 9-5 but I am in school Tuesdays and Thursdays so my boss is nice enough to let me only work Mon,Wed,Fri. It's an office job so I basically sit on the computer all day and get to do whatever I want. However, my old co-worker from Victoria Secret (the job I had before this one) is a manager at BeBe and told me to apply and I would get hired so I did and I got hired but now I dont know where to work. I made a list of positive/negatvies of each job. Can anyone help me with my decision? What would you do?

Office Job

Positive:
Easy
Don't work weekends
Getting a raise soon (I make $9/hour now)
Get to do whatever I want ( talk on my phone, go on myspace, AIM, do my homework, etc)

negative:
It gets pretty boring after a while
I don't make enough money here

Bebe

Positive:
I would meet new people
Make commission (with the Holiday Season coming up I would make alot)
Have the opportunity to work more hours if I wanted to
I love shopping/clothes

Negative:
I would have to stand up all day most likely in heels
Have to work weekends and nights, but I can alway's request off

Both of these jobs are the same distance from my house.

He introduces fill-in drummer Morgan Rose from SEVENDUST immdiately after the opening song "Dr. Feelgood". Tommy also comes out later and talks a little more about the injury. By the way, for someone that was just flown in the night before, he did a great job. Help fight breast cancer! main.acsevents.org … Tommy Lee Cruefest Cincinnati

I am an IT professional that works at a "BIG4" firm. The morale is low and it is a somewhat backstabbing environment. Employees fight over projects (to have high pressure assignments handed out) and all work more that 55 hours a week.

Recently, I went on vacation and received a call from my director about a class that I hadn't registered for. Mind you at the time I am in Honduras. On the call he says to me that I should looking for the nearest internet connection to register for this class. It cost me 200 bucks to get to an internet WI-FI location and register for the class. The entire experience ruined my vacation and when I came back to work I was greeted with a verbal reprimand that caused me to leave the office in tears.

I feel that I can't trust my coworkers. Most of them are male and very chauvinistic, I feel that aI should leave immediately. Everyday, I go into the office and I feel that I am under undue scrutiny.

Should I stay and try to work through the tensions in my professional environment or should I just find another position (preferably out-side of IT) and attempt to find another career path to walk down.
