Lai an alas tune so Ltd lib column ii Lind i it Klorres your Tolar saw an not to tier m the. Sun and swim. Apo Mill us forum Reader says Don t complain get a Job a Teller recently published addressed the Burger King staff shortage. As an employee of Burger King i d like to add my views on the subject. In Light of the Job shortage overseas t find it Ludi Crous that any facility would have to run on 80 percent of its necessary Tabor complement. It appears there Are a lot of unrealistic expectations on the part of Job seekers Many of whom arc Young wives of first term soldiers. I hear you talking As you huddle together in the Burger bar. You re bored. You re homesick. You re Flat Brake two Days after pay Day and of woe you can t get a Job. The reason is for every cafes Job opening there Are live cafes Emp Yecs in line ahead of you and unless none of them is qualified your application in t even considered. That s the reality of the system. But once you re in the opportunities to move up Are unlimited. Even after you have a permanent change of station pc you remain in the system for six months. What this Means to you As a Job seeker is you Haven t got a Chance unless you re very highly Quali fied. So you la have to get in at the Bottom. That s right Burger King and As Bottoms go this one in t bad. The pay is 14.13 per hour and the maximum hours allowed Are 34 per week. The shifts Are very flexible Start anytime from 6 30 . To 7 . And work four to sin hours. A willing Altitude and learn spirit arc the Only qualifications necessary. You la work hard and go Home smelling like a Trench Fry but you can console yourself with a hot Shower and that Nice Little paycheck handed to you every other Friday. As for being treated poorly by the managers 1 can speak Only for those in Ascham Lynburg and one who transferred to Baum older. 1 have seen them go to great lengths often at the Cost of i hair own time off to accommodate a Crew member s request. The production leaders Don t go Home until every person on their Shin has had a break. If an inconsistent policy comes to Light it s settled on the spot. In four months employ ment i have never been treated with disrespect. I m leaving Burger King soon to Transfer to my new Job with cafes. I m moving up arid looking at a future of gainful employment no Mailer where our or Ders take us. The Opportunity to work is there. You can either go for in or continue to sit at the Burger bar crying into your Coffee. I be already made my Choice. Charmaine Thessin ask Hafferberg West Germany some thoughts about caring for children As a certified Day care provider for the last Ivi years i have a few observations i would like to make. First the training really taught me a lot. It made me much More self confident in caring for my own Chil Dren As Well As my Day care children. The outreach workers i be met have All been very caring people. I have to say they have been there for me when i needed hem. Secondly the other providers i be come in Contact with Are very professional. They love their children their own and their Day care and show patience and compassion Day after Day i m quite impressed. It seems like the providers we hear negative things about Are the ones who really weren t meant to be with Little children on a daily basis and they soon drop Oul of the program anyway. Thirdly i feel that it is a misconception that we arc in it for the somehow i Don t feel that i m ripping people off by charging $60 a week when i m providing two snacks daily dunks and a hot lunch All within my guidelines. I also have most of my children for a 50-hour week and on occasion longer. Bui i have been told i charge too much. I m sorry 1 do not agree. I m sure if you look Hail enough you could find people who charge outrageous Rales. I you do report in and Don t go Back it s mat simple. That provider will catch on when she has no children to care for. I be also met uncertified Sitters who charge 65 cents an hour. Thai s up to you bul i be seen them at the playground and it seems thai they feet that since family child care in t watching Over them they can do us they please. I be seen Little children younger than 2 get Hil in he face with swings and throw Sand in each others faces while their Siller is Busy talking or Reading. Sometimes they Don t even notice. It s almost like they assume thai since we re certified and watching and participating with our kids Well Walch theirs too my last observation is very simple. It seems to me that acc is alive and Well. 1 do Lake offence Al the negative comments i hear. I work very hard Al what i do. It s the hardest Job i be Ever had but i love in and i la miss my kids when we go to our next assignment. I feel very very Lucky to have had the Opportunity to be Home with my youngest daughter during her pre school years and o Cam a second income As Well thank you acc name withheld Augsburg West Germany writer replies to letter on homosexuality i would like to reply to the recent writer who As Sumes to attest for every homosexual in the world. I give him credit for signing his name i am glad to Sec that he is not a closet i m sorry that your Friend was assaulted by a Homo sexual. But just because one does let us not assume thai every homosexual has rapist tendencies. Rape is not sexual. It involves the act of Schual Intercourse bul is not considered a sexual act. In is a violent act of an Etc vernely disturbed individual. Ii is altitudes such As yours that keep the fire Burn ing for bigotry. Ii also creates the potential for damage to the military Community. Because Gays Are no accepted by the military the pole Lial for blackmail and discrimination exists. In the civilian world Many Gays have come Oul of the closet which leaves link room for blackmail but unfortunately discrimination still exists. You mention the Bible says it s immoral. That s True. But what happened to thou shall not judge it seems to me that you re laying blame on a population of people that really does t deserve it. I am an american one who you be spent 39 years defending. I believe that everyone has the same rights. You might think about those rights in the near future.
