So I called out today...? -

My boss is in a lot of pain - had to get surgery yesterday, so she won t be coming in today. Well, I m not feeling too hot this morning (throat s sore, stomach s upset, scheduled a doctor s appointment) and called out, and she sounded really pissed off about it. I found someone to take my morning shift but we re still waiting for a reply on my night shift, so I might have to go into work anyway tonight. This is only the second time I ve called out in a span of almost six months.Thoughts? Do you think my job s safe? I m nervous what with how mad she was acting on the phone.

Look, it isn t your responsibility to worry about your boss stuff. On the other hand, if your actions cast you as not a team player , the previous statement isn t what matters.Just make nice. If you re worth having around, you ll be fine.

I think you are on thin ice! She has had surgery and you have a sore throat etc...bit of a difference. She won t be happy, and I think you should have made the effort to go in, and be sent home if you were ill.

Ideas to sell on weekend markets? Thanks? -

Buy second hand carpets at auction, cut it to make bath mats and toilet mats.I used to recycle used carpets like that and made a pretty good whack (More in 4 hours than my weekly income from work - about 350 to 450 UK Pounds).Another tactic is to go at 5am and buy all the baby clothes you can find, up until about 8am - then set up a store and sell them at a more reasonable price.I could spend about 10 pounds for clothes, and sell them for more than 300. What I had left over, I d sell to a local shop dealing with second hand clothes.Just for fun, I once bought 10 gas lighters for a pound, and set them up for 30p each, or 3 for a pound. The guy I bought them from sat at his stall opposite mine (2 metres distant) and laughed a lot - I sold more than he did. About 9 out of 10 people bought 3 for a pound instead of twigging, 30p each is cheaper!

Why companies are stressing on Quality Managemen? -

to live longer in the market

Companies compete on Quality and service, not just on price. Quality means suitability for its intended purpose. It does not mean Gold Faucets in your bathroom.Quality also means a high level of reliability and acceptable product life expectancy. That in turn means the product will perform correctly every time and for a long time in the future. Companies that are not competitive on quality will soon fail.

I created a product, now I need a UPC bar code for it. Where can I get one? Is there more than 1 provider? -

I have no idea how much it costs, but this organization administers UPC registration: http://www.gs1us.org/

You can lease a block of 100 numbers (that s the minimum that they do) from GS1. There you will pay a fee to join and then annual fees going forward every year.Or, you can purchase a single UPC code from a barcode reseller such as our firm for outright ownership without any annual fees. Take a look at this part of our FAQ for more details: http://www.upccode.net/faq.html#q14Hope this helps!Your friends at Simply Barcodeshttp://www.UPCcode.net

Any ideas for a school store? -

I am manager of the school store at my school and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas-- what to sell, how to decorate, right now we have alot of candy.. But we really need some good ideas, suggestions or examples

At my achool store we sell alot of snacks like chips, and cookies and such for like $.50 and it sells like crazy ! Students like that kind of snacks to eat during the day. :) You should also sell like pencils and folders and notebooks becuase that kind of stuff everyone needs at school and they sell becuase when people run out they rather go to the school store because of convience. Hope that helps !

not knowing what type of school ie High School, Middle School or elementary school it would be hard to give you specific ideas but to start,t-shirts,sweats, shorts with school logo, pencils,erasers paper notebooks again maybe with school logo or mascot, sometimes as far as money you can get businesses to sponsor the school and donate items or at a much lower cost if your school has the budget to purchase things like these. Then there are things like teddy bears (stuffed animals) with your school name etc.

Why dont buyers leave feedback? -

Isn t it so annoying on amazon,ebay,half.com, and wherever else when the buyers dont leave feedback? It just makes me wanna grab them by the neck and force them to click the simple positive feedback button.Maybe its not just me..

I guess for the same reason that rarely anyone chooses a best answer on YA! : they just WANT something and don t care about the effort that others expend to provide what they want.

Once upon a time, feedback on eBay answered two simple questions. If you were a buyer, did you pay for the auctions you bid on? If you were a seller, was the item delivered as described? Now, it s all messed up. If you are a seller, you can no longer leave negative feedback if someone promises to buy an item and never pays for it. As a result, sellers heed the saying of he who praises everybody praises nobody and tend to not leave feedback for anyone. Buyers have taken the cue that the feedback system has become essentially meaningless and have stopped leaving feedback for sellers. The solution is to write a nasty email to ebay/amazon/half about the sorry state of their feedback system. They regularly distribute the most amusing at their annual Christmas party. Perhaps you can give them a laugh or two.

I know what you mean. I sold on eBay a long time ago and only a handful of people bother. I ve always left feedback whether I ve been a buyer or seller. It takes a moment of my time and I actually like helping other people even in some small way. When I was selling on eBay, I used to tell people that if they let me know when they got the product, that I d be happy to leave feedback right away for them. That did get some people to leave me FB. I never directly asked anyone to do so, though. As a buyer, I always leave feedback except if a seller TELLS me to do so. I like to feel that I m doing something voluntarily, you know. If someone writes me a note saying Positive feedback is much appreciated :) and doesn t order me to do so, I m more than happy to comply.Some people just don t give a flying F about others; it s that simple.

Yea sometimes, but I don t make a big deal... I d be happy if they leave nice comments but I d rather not get any negative comments.

Because no one gives a crap as long as they get the product. That s the way humans are, unfortunately. Too greedy so force any other information into their heads.
