"so if you are "getting screwed out of" all the bonus money, there really isn't anything to pay back when you get fired is there? You could hire an attorney and fight this, but don't expect to get a glowing recommendation for your next job. Hope you have a lot of money put...

1) This is more of a "maintenance" type job where everything is done a very specific way. Very little room to use technical skills. Give this position to any 16 year old with...
I recently started working for a large company straight out of college making around 52k/yr. Nearly the first week into the position, I realized i have absolutely no interest in what I'm doing. I also know that many of my peers right out of school are making much more than I am - at the high...
