[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 722623, member: 1550"] Jabs, I agree. Howeer if you are at the bottom of the totem pole, your boundaries are often disregarded. A corrections officer is not indespensible, I am sure, but it is harder to replace on e familiar with your job plus willing to do it than a receptionist or a restaurant host or server, therefore even somebody who does a less skilled job very well is easy to replace. It is really a problem for less skilled employees. If a server in the restaurant I work at quits or is fired, another server can be hired and trained in a few days. No sweat to the company. by the way, whats a promotion??? :) i have been at the restaurant fof 1 1/2 years and haven't even gotten a raise. Not even a quarter more. I work there as pre retirement amusement, not for the pay. None of my jobs i ever had, even the advertising/sales jobs, could support a family. Most offered no benefits. I am fortunate that I always defined myself as a mother and a kind person....that my jobs never defined my self esteem. If so, I would have felt pretty worthless. There is a definite hierarchy at every workplace. Job title aside, Bosses Kid is always at a higher level than others, even if the kid ily drlivers pizza. Workplaces are not fair and dont have to be. I tried it all...bottom line, there are few regulations about how employers need to treat employees in the U.S. i hear it is much better in other countries. [/QUOTE]
