Ask a Manager

JULY 24, 2015

I submitted a resume for an office manager position at a small nonprofit, and was contacted a couple of days later by the administration director to set up a phone interview for the next day (Friday) or Monday. Are our new break rules legal? I am a non-exempt assistant manager at a large retail store in Pennsylvania.

It all came to a head recently when he and the guy he shares an office with decided to fire their office manager. I work part-time in customer service for a mid-size retailer. Obviously they have a legal right to do whatever they want, but how do I address this on job applications going forward?

The perception of not being above board can lead to lost opportunities, and legal liability for actual dishonest conduct. So far New Guy’s direct manager is unaware of this incident. If that’s the case, should I talk to him, our office manager (who books rooms), or our manager, or some combination of those folks?
