You should really talk to your coworkers and see if they are experiencing the same. The key is in silent change and action. You should all approach senior management together with this issue and stay together. Senior management will not fire your boss, but will coach them better. Good luck and do not give up your current job except if all else fails. Remember you have got nothing to lose, so fight it silently. Wish you all the very best and hope you will celebrate your 2 year anniversary with the company along with your manager.

Take it there yourself. See if you can get into Human Resources and get some names on who to call later on.

generally a year to 2 years is sufficient. too short a time and interviewers will question why you were only there for so short a time which leads to another set of questions that may destroy your hopes of landing that job. Since you are management I'd say tough it out for another 6 months or so. Most companies don't like it when they see management level staff jumping ship after only a year or so.

First dress to impress.Be on time.  Shake hands with the person conducting the interview when you enter the office.Tell them how you heard about the hiring.You can ask about the pay, the company health plan and what position is being offered. Be honest at the interview and friendly and state that you are a hardworking person and you that are customer service friendly.Customer service is the key word here. Be polite and friendly and smile. If you have a resume bring that but its not important. Ask how long is the probationary period if hired, you would get reviewed in 30 days, and then 60 days on your performance.In some case you probably would get hire on the spot. Oh yeah, take your ID with you just in case they send you for drug testing the same day.

You should explain clearly what the Orientation Booklet covers:\nSexual Harrasment policy, Worker's compensation papers (in case they get injured) etc... make them sign any liabilities if there are any.  Drug test should've been passed.  \n\nOrientation is anything from things they are supposed to do duh!!  Justl like where everything is, and where to go for help or in case of emergencies (give them a copy of the policies they signed and contact info on all of the employees in their orientation booklet.) That's how professionals do it.  In my current job they didn't do that. That's what went wrong, but in my first job they did. They were more professional. \n\nAbove all, your job is also to make them not feel overwhelm and encourage them and wish them a happy time working at the company.  Be positive they can learn quickly and efficiently and give them the benefit of Any doubts. As a matter of fact, don't have any doughts! That's why you hired them!  \n\nBe understanding if they are rough the first time around because learning something new takes some time, but make sure it's not too long, just a reasonable amount.  \n\nDo not hound them (that's one bad thing I've experienced) or boss them around so much (people bossed me around so much even if they weren't my boss!).  \nLet them get used to things and get a feel for it!  There was this one co-worker of mine that just got into my very personal space when training me and I did not appreciate it at all! He was always in my face and was so over crowding my space!

When you take on a new job, there is always that first 90 days in which either you or the employer can decide if it is the right job for you.  Either side can end the employment within that first 90 days with no repercussions.  It sounds like a place where NObody should be working!  Or maybe somebody else...(newly-hired management)needs to get in there, clean house, and hire people who are qualified for the job.  Meanwhile, you need to get out of there while your customer service skills are still intact...first 90 days or not!  You deserve better.  I'd hate to see you give up and become like them...which may be what'll happen.

I work in Human Resources for a major company around the Chicago area.\n\nNew-hire orientation introduces you to the company you recently got hired on with. They usually show you where to park, issue you a badge/uniform, let you know about company benefits, tell you your work schedule, and show you around.\n\nI cannot give you time limit on new-hire orientation (the program I conduct for my company lasts around 6 hours). It all depends on how much you will need to know about the company.

How about...\n\nI am an independent thinker who takes the initiative for performance improvement and am able to learn new skills quickly.\n\nOr... I look forward to both contributing and expanding my skills within your organization.\n\nYou don't want it to sound like they are going to have to teach you everything, unless it is a position where they have stated that they are willing to train the right person.\n\nGood luck!

Put in a suggestion box and have a staff meeting to introduce the box to everyone.Then tell them you are wanting to improve the teams work environment and would like every ones input.People are shy so put the box some where it is easy to get to but out of prying eyes.\nGive them a voice with out the confrontation.You might be able to find what the problem is and other ways to help your team work better and boost morale.Good luck don't be too hard on yourself just look at your own boss he didn't do much to help you.So be a good boss and find out what you team needs!!

Give your boss a reasonable amount of notice before you quit your job.  How long have you been with the company?  How long would it take to train someone in your position?\n\nGive at least a minimum of two weeks notice, but a month would be nicer, so that your boss has time to fill the position and get someone trained before you leave.

First of all, you need to make sure that you are speaking with the manager. A good way to be sure of this is to say,\n"Hello, I was wondering if I could talk to the manager, or whoever is in charge of hiring."\nThey should connect you to that person. If they say they are not available and ask for a message, leave your name and say that you are checking on an application that you recently submitted. Ask if there would be any better time to call back.\n--------If you are connected with a manager------------------\nDon't try and kiss up by asking about their day. They will see through it, and most likely be annoyed. Just be formal and to the point. Say something along the lines of:\n"Hi, my name is __________. I turned in an application recently, and I was wondering if you have had a chance to look them over." (wait for them to respond.) \nReply to what they say to you, and then make the point that you would really enjoy being given an opportunity to work for them.\n\nGood words to use:\nopportunity (what a good one it is)\npotential (all that you have to offer)\nstatus (of your application)\nPlease, Thank you, and (when ending the conversation) thank you for your time and consideration!\n\nGood luck!

Honestly, dont get creative.  Tell them exactly what you think and dont beat around the bush.  The feedback that you give them needs to help both the employee and YOU as the employer.  Most feedback should be designed to tweek behaviour that will allow you to get more out of the employee.  Remember, they are there to help YOU.

My understanding and work experience has been "it depends on the circumstances".  If both parties are in agreement, it can go very smoothly and I've seen a response back in 1-2 days.  Other times, when the case is rough, it has been know to take longer -  up to a week.

well it's a good way to find out what the particular challenges of the new job are:  if there are any specific things the old employee can help the new one understand, or if there are any inside tips he or she could give to make the transition go more smoothly.  who better to ask than the person who was doing the job previously?\n\nps::: maybe you're asking why other people want to speak to the person who held your position before YOU did when they call on the phone?  probably because they don't know the old person has been replaced.
