My Mom- Sheryl

5. I would like to work in downtown Manhattan.
6. I work in Putney Twombly Hall and Harrison. It's a law firm.

management. The new managers like to make people's lives harder, making
us do things over to make insignificant changes.

that cared about the employee.

13. Not to the maximum. I feel that I am being held back from utilizing
skills in other computer software.
14. I would like the company to adapt a more liberal policy on hours
and vacation time because sometimes people need different, staggered hours
and vacation should not have to be taken in weekly intervals.
15. I don't like my boss. I feel that the "my door is open" is really
just talk. Nothing is ever done about your complaints. The more you tlak
the more you are ignored.
16. No, this will not be my last job because I am so unsatisfied with
this job that I am currently looking for another one. I hope that my last
job will be my own business.
Me
1. My attitude towards work is positive. I know that certain things have
to be done to prosper.
2. I think I got this attitude from my parents. They always instilled
a sense of hard work pays off in me.
3. I think that happiness is most important in a job. No matter how
much you make if you’re not happy then it’s not worth it.
4. A workplace should have a friendly business-like atmosphere. A person
should feel comfortable going to work but know that work has to be done
and that it is not a place to rest.
5. I like to work in the city. I wouldn’t feel comfortable anywhere
else. I like the activity that the city has.
6. I work in the Richmond Hill branch of the Queens Public Library
System.
7. It’s all right. It is the only job that I know of that has very
flexible hours because they understand that you have to go to school. I
would like the pay to increase.
8. I started out as a volunteer for school and they hired me.
9. I have been working there for two years.
10. I am a page. I shelve books and clean up at closing time. I also
do anything that any of the librarians might ask me to do.
11. Yes, I have held the same position for all of that time.
12. I feel fine about that. That is what I was hired to do and I don’t
expect to do anything else.
13. My job doesn’t require any skills and I didn’t get the job for
any to be used.
14. I would change the pay and I would make it a private library. Too
many homeless people and kids come into the library and mess it up. That
makes my job harder.
15. I like my boss. He isn’t condescending and when he wants you to
do something, he asks you instead of telling you. He makes suggestions
as to how you do things better instead of just condemning your work.
16. Of course this isn’t going to be my last job. This is just something
to help me get some money in my pockets.
