I've recently been promoted to a general manager position within my company, and with the promotion I took over another store that already had a staff in place. For the most part, the staff is awesome and very supportive of the management change, but i am having difficulty with the shift manager--she was promoted to the position only a few weeks before i took over the store.

The largest problem we're having is when she should work. She complains when i schedule her for nights/weekends and now holidays. I try to be sympathetic with her, I know no one wants to work these shifts but I've always been told that why it's called a SHIfT manager--you have to pay your dues to get them off.

(That is largely why I accepted the promotion--to have nights, weekends, and holidays off to spend with my family after paying my "dues" as a shift and/or assistant manager all the way through college.)

The only shifts she really seems to want are Monday thru Friday from open to about 5; anything else I get belly aching and threats that she won't show up despite any attempts I make to get her some of what she wants.

Am I wrong to expect her to take these shifts? Or are **** shifts what others have experienced as they worked up the ladder?

Hey all...My wife actually has this question. here She is!

(Wife typing) Okay, here goes: I was on the pill for 4 years, I took my last pill Feb 20th, had a period Feb27th that lasted maybe 3-4 days (as they usually do). Didn't have another one until june 7th, was my usual period-not very heavy. Then July 26th, I started-not very heavy, kinda spotty, then 4 days later, I started very heavy. It's been a week and a day and I am still heavy, still have cramps and some back pain. Now, my periods were pretty heavy before i started taking the pill 4 1/2 years ago. Should I be concerned? Is it normal for a period to last this long? Why?

I'm trying to understand what motivates/prevents guys like us to voleenteer to be a mentor, namley with the Big Brother/Big Sister program. Is it time? lack of knowledge? Some thing else?

Any insight you all can give me will be a great help!

what is the relationship between my brother in law's daughter and my sisters son? are they like second cousins once removed or something?

More over, what is she to her cousins daughter? a second aunt? Love to have verfication of your answer to best answer.

I run about 30-37 miles a week and have been replacing my shoes about once a month. This is getting expensive! i was wondering how often everyone else actually gets new running shoes, and how the determine when to get em?

I noticed lately my treadmill track is getting very warm after I run. I bought it second hand about a year ago and have never had this problem. I wondering if it needs some type of lubercante, and if so what kind and were can i get it? I run about an hour a day on it, going roughly 10 k (6.5 miles) at a time.
