You can't bank "self-esteem" and if she wants to cut her losses, give it up.

Posted By: Logic this. on 2006-01-07
In Reply to: But what she gains in self-esteem is priceless. nm - Stand up for yourself

Besides that, you take this to any court, small claims for instance, they can award you the money, but the court does not collect it. It's up to you. So you lost time on the work. Then you lose time in small claims but woo-hoo you win. Then prepare to waste more time collecting the debt small claims said is owed you.

What is your time worth. Mine is worth about 25-30 dollars an hour. I don't have the time or money to devote to chasing down a bad debt. I LOSE AGAIN. Self-esteem? I have self-esteem with or without a company not paying me.

Any good ideas where to look. Job Bank and Resume bank not working.
I think they must be waiting for a tech for repairs.
I'm very sorry for your losses....SM

 I truly am very sorry for your losses and your pain.  You are not alone there though....I lost my father last year and Father's Day is tough for me now, and my sister committed suicide moons ago but we, as family, never get over these things, not really.  So we come into the web/forums/boards, etc....to perhaps ease our load/minds.  Everyone has losses, no one has cornered the market on losses, that's a given.  Again, I'm sorry if I offended, wasn't my intent.  But I do not agree that asking a question as I did is *name-calling* - I'm totally against name-calling in the entire life.  Being a year older than you should tell you that I truly was joking and again, sorry for the *hurt* you seemed to get from my post.  I have since removed the *LOL* also.


Be well..... 


Job losses
My job at a hospital was eliminated after 8 years.  Even with living out in the sticks and in the hills, they were able to figure out things so I could work from home for 3 of those last years - a real blessing as I drove 50 miles each way every day.  But then they decided to use the new modern technology and go with point and click and soon to be going VR, so my position was eliminated as my family practice notes and ER notes were going point and click.  The psychiatric office was low on work, so they took that away from me and gave that to another girl there.  I was the fifth out of 15 to leave and not being replaced.  I expect they will get rid of about three more when VR goes into action and all they will have are the ones that cannot write or speak plain enough to understand.  With living in the country in the hills and sticks, of course, we cannot get any kind of high speed here - obviously, there is no use even looking for another transcription job!  So, now I have switched over and became a manager for a multinational company that works with Fortune 500 companies.  Life is tough and this takes time to build up, but we are surviving!  There is life after transcription! 
the facilities are supposed to "self report" violations -
when I worked inhouse it was explained to us that we were supposed to "self report" to the powers when we did something wrong and would then be fined for it. Who in the heck is going to do that?

But isn't the need to tear others down also a good indicator of low self-esteem? sm
If the original topic was a question about IQ scores, how is it that when MensaMT responded to the question and shared her IQ score and experience lifting herself up? And how does anyone know anyone else on an anonymous message board without telling things about themselves?
Wow what bank
did your son use?

I recently had my debit card number stolen when I was visiting in Toronto. My bank's fraud department called me within a day of the fraudulent charges. They had already denied 2 of them, and the one that did go through I was refunded every dime of. I guess I have a pretty good bank! (Wells Fargo).

The cop that I talked to when I filed a report said that they have one guy who does nothing but take the fraud calls every day, that is how many there are now. One poor little old lady had her entire account cleaned out, and on top of that the people somehow managed to SELL her HOUSE out from under her. I don't know exactly how they did that but she was not able to get it back, she was pretty much SOL. I guess it makes good sense to check to see how your bank deals with fraud and what the policy is on giving you back your money.

Also his advice was to get a shredder, and the kind that shreds both ways, and he told me that he even blocked out his address on his car registration. He says he never has anything in his car that has any personal info like that on it. I thought that was interesting and did not even know that was okay to do. But I guess if a cop is doing it it must be!

i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.

there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
just called the bank and

Sure it is SS that is late and not your bank? They have to
build deposit files and it may be the banking system having problems.

Just trying to help.
Since your a former bank manager- how can I get
my credit score up?  My husband and I want to buy a house with no down payment and the lender said that we need to get our credit score up 18 points to do this.  How?  He mentioned paying our credit cards down to almost a zero balance.  What else can we do?  And how fast could we do it?

Hey former bank manager, what
does the "came way" mean?  Is that a banking term?
Smile all the way to the bank!

I would. My son got his job at the bank he believes by
hope it didn't get cut off.
If you bank with Wachovia they have/are

sending 400 call center jobs to India, which also means they have access to your financial information.  I use a local credit union, but have a home equity loan with Wachovia and with that they gave us, checking, savings, credit, debit accounts.  I have closed all but the home equity account so far and told them why.  I'm currently in the process of shopping rates to open a new home equity loan too. 


No telling how many more banks/credit card companies are doing the same.


Talk to your bank
With DD, your bank statement is proof that the company paid you or not. With checks or prepaid credit cards, if it's lost in the mail YOU have no proof it wasn't sent. If it gets screwed up in adding it to the card, YOU have no proof the MTSO is at fault and you have to fight with Visa.

The MTSO is correct in refusing to tell you which other MTs get Visa--they have a right to privacy.

The main problem I can see with Visa is that it's just inappropriate. You'll be forced to spend every penny you earn AND spend it at an establishment that takes Visa. How do you plan on saving? How do you plan to pay your insurance and other expenses? What if your children need $10 for school?

You also may be subjected to fees and/or expiration of the funds on the card.

Why don't you talk to your bank about the safety of direct deposit? Perhaps if they can calm any unfounded fears you have, you can be paid in a more appropriate manner.





Bank jobs
I have a good friend who is a bank branch manager.  Tellers, etc. are entry level.  She just hired my hairdresser!!!!  Don't know about where you live but I think most bank jobs are entry level in the smaller banks at least.
I agree w/you, bank manager...
God is not a vindictive (sp?) God, He is a kind and loving God.  This hurricane is simply nature, and nothing more, I'm sure...Would you bring your wrath down so hard on your own children for something they did that was wrong? Well, that's how God feels about us...His children, everyone of us. Even those who fight so hard to have Him removed from our lives...we are extremely blessed that God is so wonderful!
Put it in the bank. 100 years of interest. Just think!

Give me a break! 


I needed a good laugh, thanks for posting.  Trust me, I'm only laughing at the sheer stupidity of issuing a check for one cent. You can't even rebel and send it back to them because you'd be out 36 cents.


Maybe you should frame it and label it, "My Big Bonus."

I didn't think former bank managers
made any mistakes.
Take the money from your own bank account
I agree..The things *she* donates are from manufacturers that get a plug on her show or from the people who watch her show and donate to her Angel Network. Even when she donated cars, the people who got them had to pay the tax and registration on the cars, which came to a few thousand dollars each.  These people could not even afford to buy new cars and they are gonna come up with a few thousand for taxes, etc.?  Oprah is out of touch with the real world.  I think Stedman Graham said it best on one of her shows, he told Oprah she was not nice.  She seemed shocked and asked well, who is nice and he said Gayle King, her best friend.  Oprah is pompous and acts like she thinks she is smarter and better than others..She isnt in my book.  Come on, Oprah, how much of your billions are you gonna spend in your life time?  Dont take the money from the public who watch your show..take it from your own bank account.
If you make enough of a fuss at your bank they
can, and will, release the funds back to you immediately. We bank at Commerce, and have had so many flubs with our debit card that we have 2 separate accounts - one just for the debit card with a limited balance in case it ever gets hit. But we have had lots of errors - ebay once hit the card for one of those burps at 1 cent for about a zillion times - other errors just like above, and I was told, too, that it had to take 3 days to release the hold. When I flipped out over it, it got released immediately. After all, it is our bank and we are the customer, right? Stick to your guns and you'll get your $$ instantly, if a mistake has been made that is verifiable.
Go to your bank or credit union and they can help
you set it up.   What you claim depends on how you setup the account.  You can claim $$ this year provided it is paid in by 4/15 and get taxed when you take out, or you can put in after taxes and not get taxed when taking out. 
I did, actually I got two jobs through the resume bank.
I went to work for a small independent company and was there for 2 years and then got a job with a national 3 months ago.  Both places had contacted me from my resume being on this site. 
It all depends on when your bank actually posts *sm*
it to your account.
If a person at your bank has to manually process it then it may vary, But they usually have a certain time it has to be done by.

What we were told when I worked in a bank - sm
Sometimes it depends on the time the tapes get loaded, sometimes there is a system glitch, sometimes there is tons to post on a particular day, so for all those reasons and more it can vary.  People used to call all the time and ask if on their payday if they were waiting at the ATM at 12:01 would the money be there.  I useds to tell them not to count on it!  The bank actually has until, I believe, around 10 a.m. on payday to post them, but I have seen some postings later than that.
Oh yeah, I am Bwahaha'ing all the way to the bank (nm)

we took an IC's check that worked for my DH to our bank and cashed it for them. sm
the check was returned and they came after us for the money of which we paid, plus the penalty to pick up the check and this was not even our check. we took it to the DA and after over a year, they sent the check back to us and told us it was a stolen check and they were not able to collect on it. our loss, $425.
Quick question for x-bank manager

Is it true what I was told about NOT closing out 0 balance credit card accts?  I never have closed one, just never use them and I have excellent credit, but in general, am I doing the right thing by not closing out?  I get 0 interest cards, typically good for 1 1/2 years and when comes time to be charged interest, I transfer balance to no interest card, do not close acct and have been doing this for years.  I usually do not carry a large balance and have paid outstanding balance to 0 on several occasions.  Thanks for your imput.

Former Bank Manager, Could you be more specific. I want to make sure I get this right.

Unless you work in a bank or at a cash register,
doubt they would do a credit check. I remember telling my employer during my interview about my Ch13, explaining the surgery, the divorce, the agony...she sat there and then said "we don't do credit checks." This was at a major hospital. Background checks only.
Charge what the bank or library charges. nm

Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


Remember we are all "HUMAN." 


 


This is the weekend that we are completely revamping the resume bank, so
there may be some disruption until it is live.
Bank debt/check card? Same thing?
Is the prepaid visa card the same as a bank debt or check card?
First, a prepaired debit card is not attached to your bank at all. SM

It is a separate account set up for use with your prepaid debit card only.  No checks.  No bank.  And with the prepaid card, they cannot withdraw money without your prior authorization.  Your employer can only deposit money if your employer provides a signed DD form with your signature on it.


I've never had any problems with my card.  I feel pretty secure.  I do pay bills with my card, but rather than authorize a recurring monthly charge (which you can do), I opt to manually get on the money card website and pay each bill, each month.  So consider this.  Once you authorize a recurring bill payment, it sometimes takes an act of God to stop it.

You're really proud of the 'former bank manager' thing aren't you
Why do you use that name? Just curious.
I keep the minimum amount of cash in the bank. I may sound paranoid but I fully

there to be locked up.  The banks are scampering around if you notice.  They have written notices that they can raise your interest rate to 28% or more for just about no reason on the credit cards.  I think they have let way too much money borrowed out be on the books, and now the little man is having to pay either with money, or his financial credit. 


If you read about GOLD, gold is selling for a lot, all over the world, even in this supposed stable time.  That's a sign they say that things aren't as steady as the powers that be want you to believe.
