The “fair tax”

The Fair Tax is a proposal to replace the current income tax system with a national sales tax on all goods and services. The idea behind the Fair Tax is that it would be a more fair and efficient way of taxing individuals, as it would eliminate the need for complex tax codes and regulations, and would allow individuals to keep more of their own money. The Fair Tax proposal would also do away with the IRS, and would be collected by retail businesses at the point of sale. However, some Democrats argue that Republicans who support the Fair Tax are being deceptive by claiming that it eliminates the income tax without mentioning that it would be replaced with a sales tax. This is a misleading characterization of the Fair Tax proposal, as it would indeed get rid of the income tax, and would be a more fair and efficient…

Job Application

{South Carolina} I applied for a job and it asked on the medical portion “Is there any chance you may be pregnant “. I answered “No” although I am pregnant and due in approximately 4 months. I have been hired at this point. I want to inquire if me seeking accommodations in the near few weeks may be used against me for the answer provided during the pre-hire exam?

Manager hasn’t filled the role I’m covering for – what are my options?

About 6 weeks ago, a person on my team in a position higher than mine was fired for poor performance. I, being the top performer on my team (of course because the reward for hard work is more work) was asked to temporarily cover the role until it was filled. I was told the role would be posted “soon”, left open for 2 weeks and then interviews and a decision. Nothing has been done and the position hasn’t even been posted. I know this because I had planned to apply as an internal candidate. Now I’m stuck doing this role a level above mine for no extra compensation, no time off, nothing not even recognition and there’s no word on when it’ll even be posted. What are my options? I’ve asked many times when it’ll be posted. Last week my boss told me “today” then a week went by and…

It’s nice when one of the higher up share your hate for current manager!!!

I run a small store for a big corporation. I am the third from the bottom on pay scale, but I work very well by my self. So I was giving my own store. I work above my pay grade because I get bored most days. Sometimes I only 5 customer compared to a big store that has 30 to 40 a day. I am very happy with the fulfillment my job gives me and I have a decent work-life balance . The only issue I have in my manager is a complete dick. I hate him with a passion,but I'm 30 mins away from his face and don't have to deal with him but once a week when he” checks my book” , well today was that day and he tore me a new one for no reason beside he did not read the notes right. Look I'm at…

Getting back into management, need advice.

Long story short, I have been in retail and QSR management for a long time. Did well financially and wife got promoted so I took a few years off. I’m getting back into management potentially or at least consulting management teams. Can you give me some positive things to focus on? I know from experience treating people right is what creates the environment that breeds success. I am just rusty. Help.
