Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    That's up to you. In your situation, when would 'too late' be, though?

    If you do, I’d suggest that you do so pretending he is not your uncle—only the owner of a place where a manager is acting inappropriately. Explain things that happened factually, without too much interpretation and emotion. In fact, if you do become a manager of his shop someday, I’d give the same advice. Mixing family/friends and business can cause lots of trouble, if you can’t distinguish between those two kinds of relationships.

      Too late would be when he talks to my uncle first, and my uncle tells me, "If you had a problem with your manager, why didn't you come up to me first?"

            Anonymouse, say wat do you is?

            Write that all down and date what happens and what he says, etc. If, someday, something happens and you have not yet said anything, show your uncle what you've wrote. Tell him that you've been trying to work through this, but some lady on AC told you to do that... and then show him the post).

              He's coming over right now. I won't tell him, but I find it to be awkward timing.

                Or say it now, and then show him this thread tonight. Either way, I can tell that your job with him means lots to you by how much you worry about your job and how you are doing. I will vouch for that.

                Tell him some crazy lady in Wisconsin told you to tell him to read this thread.

                      o.k buddy,

                      Here are some tips:

                      Try to keep up a positive attitude with your manager. As annoying and xxxxxy as he gets, don’t let it bother you, and don’t show him that he bothers you. Keep up positive energy.

                      Keep a large notebook with you at all times. Jot down notes, and write down specific answers he gives you when you ask questions.

                      If you have questions that can wait, try to write them down, and when he’s clearly free present all the questions at once, so that you don’t have to come to him repeatedly.

                      Don’t stop asking questions!

                      If his attitude persists, schedule a meeting with him, state your concerns, and come to a consensus on how you can best address the issues between you two. Keep up a positive attitude throughout all this.

                      If he’s still a xxxxx, this means he’s bitter, and as siggie mentioned he feels threatened because of your relationship with the owner. Therefore, you must conquer his job. Keep your uncle posted on his behavior. Learn well, and take over!

                      I bid you much luck!
