Intellectual property (IP) - Who owns the rights to my work @Chad I don't even see anything about which jurisdiction the OP is in, so how could this be definitely answered as it stands at present? Even not considering the fact that "intellectual property" lumps together as diverse topics as copyright, patents and corporate/trade secrets, laws vary from country to country and sometimes even within a single country, and they definitely change over time. |

My facebook wall is bothering some people at work, do they have the right? @Andy So set a default policy that excludes your colleagues from seeing what you post. Or add them to the "Restricted" list. The point is, you don't have to make visible to a particular (group of) person(s) anything you post just because you have added them to your friends list. |

How do I negotiate a higher salary without being offered yet? +1 for "ask politely, the worst you can get is a no". $4K/year is less than $100/week; I don't know what industry you are in, but if they really want you to work for them it's unlikely that politely asking for that is a dealbreaker. |

My facebook wall is bothering some people at work, do they have the right? @Chad There are more ways to put up a wall between the two than unfriending the people in question, and if it was that simple I don't think the OP would have asked the question in the first place. Facebook provides two excellent alternatives right out of the box. (And if a colleague finds out about what you post on FB even if you block their access to that post, they are going to find out just the same if you unfriend them, so unfriending does not solve the underlying issue.) |

Can I get a software development job with an EE degree? @JamesAdam I think that comment could work as an answer, actually. |

How to respond to overly specific technical questions in an inteview? Complaining is likely to get you nowhere, at best. Offering a solution that perhaps doesn't answer the exact question asked during the interview is a very different matter. I for one doubt I'd want to work for a company which is so focused on one single way of doing something that the managers won't even stop to consider an alternative approach. ("How do you use exactly Facility X to perform Task Y in Language Z?" and "how would you approach Task Y using Facility X in Language Z?" are very different. The latter allows for using Facility ABC or even Language IJK if it is a better tool.) |

Right time to ask somebody to drop a good word for you during interview process Isn't that generally about "getting a foot in the door", though? The company has already expressed some interest in you - enough to schedule a phone interview, at least. So you already have that proverbial foot inside the door. I'm not sure how much having a good word put in for you at that point would matter, since at this point they will be trying to evaluate you rather than sifting through a pile of resumes trying to find which ones might be good candidates. |

How can I convey expertise on my CV? To me, "expert" is at or above "highly skilled" in terms of knowledge. |

Is a silent shared office environment cause for concern? It hardly counts as uncomfortable silence if the people involved are happy with the way things are. Are you sure this isn't just about you wanting to fit the others into your way of being? |

Boss does not answer questions I'm not sure "should I install this program?" counts as policy. "What is the company policy about this type of software?" would. There's a big difference between "is installing a BitTorrent client on company computers acceptable?" and (assuming BitTorrent clients are acceptable) "is xyzTorrent a good BitTorrent client to install?". At least to me, your question comes off as more about the latter than the former, which makes what I said in my comment above relevant. |

Boss does not answer questions I don't recall where, but I did see the fact mentioned somewhere just recently that if you spend even half an hour researching a subject before bringing it up with your boss, that's half an hour you've spent looking at options that they haven't. So naturally you'd know more than your boss about that particular subject. They can provide perspective and policy, but they cannot provide an answer because they don't know the alternatives in depth. You do, so the natural person to make a suggestion is you. Your boss may decide to go against it for some reason, or might trust your judgement. |

My boss started sending me IMs to my private account. How should I deal with this? The last sentence pretty much sums it up IMO. |
