Dear Poll: Are You Competitive About Your Career?
Job security isn't what it was a few months ago, and for some, even talking about work hits a major nerve. I'm not in the same industry as most of my girlfriends, but when I listen to the ones who are in the same field talk about their careers, you can cut the tension with a knife. It's almost like they're competing; everything from whose company is doing better to where their Christmas party will be this year.
You Asked: I'm Getting Depressed About Being Unemployed
Dear Sugar,

You Asked: Should I Quit My Job?
Dear Sugar,
I really dislike my job; I might even go as far as saying I hate it. I work for a hotel at the front desk, and not only do I have to deal with rude guests all day, but I have to deal with rude and inconsiderate co-workers as well. I have been with the company for over a year, but I've never felt appreciated and I dread going to work every day.
