| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 11:24 AM PST Florida. I worked as head bartender for a local restaurant for a number of years, and there was a regular customer who was there very frequently. I interacted with this customer frequently: they tipped exclusively in scratch tickets and specifically called to ask for my schedule, asked me out on multiple occasions, et cetera. Probably about forty years my senior. If you've ever watched The Good Place, this guy was IRL Brent. I won something from the scratch ticket that wasn't five/ten dollars: the final amount after taxes was about three months salary for me, and I was making good money. I specifically didn't tell the customer not because I thought they would want it but because I didn't want them feeling like I owed them something or that I should be thankful towards them. I did tell a coworker, and it got to him through the grapevine. The next time I came in, he congratulated me and asked how we wanted to split it. I sternly told him that it was my tip and long story short he went to my manager, who took his side. I quit (had been planning to anyway since I'm about to finish school). My manager GAVE THIS GUY MY EMAIL (I'm curious on the legality of this too) and he (customer) emailed me saying that if I didn't agree to give him 50% he'd take legal action. Do I need to worry about taking his threat seriously? Is there anything I can or should do to protect myself? I'm assuming this is a bluff but I want to have my bases covered. TL;DR: Me drink lady. Mean man who buy many drinks gives me scratchy scratchy papers instead of green paper for many days. One day scratchy scratchy says me get a lot of green paper, but man no like this when he hear because he want some of green paper too. Me say no, green mine, so he say that he take swift and immediate legal action if me no comply. Me no need comply, right? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 05:59 AM PST Location: South Carolina I see a psychiatrist for a bipolar diagnosis. Our appointments consist of us talking about how I have been doing, then she prescribes my meds for the month. On October 31 they took me back for my appointment but told me I needed to give a urine sample first. I asked why, since they have never done one on the years I have been going to this practice, and the nurse told me my insurance company required it. Since my insurance changed in June I didn't think anything of it and peed in the cup. A second nurse gave a form to sign which I did with out even thinking (I know). After I signed the form I started reading it and realized it was consent for a drug test so I asked again about the test. The second nurse also told me it was required by my insurance and they would pay for everything. She gave me a piece of paper she said explained everything and I was whisked off to the doctor. The rest of the appointment went fine, but when I got to my car I pulled out the piece of paper and read it. It didn't say anything about my insurance wanting a drug test. It said that my sample would be sent to a company called Highline Labs, who would then bill my insurance and then I would be responsible for what my insurance didn't pay. I immediately called my insurance company who told me that a) they don't require drug tests and b) Highline labs in not in their network and they would not cover any charges from them. I immediately went back inside and spoke to the girl at the front desk. I told her what my insurance company said and despite her trying to tell me there is no way I would receive a bill for the urine test, I told her I was withdrawing consent for them to test me and to destroy the sample. She went to the back, then came out and told me they had destroyed the sample and would not be testing it. I left. Well, they lied. Yesterday I got a bill in the mail from the lab for $365. I am furious. I plan on calling them on Monday, but I am wondering if they broke any laws and who I can file a complaint to against them for running labs after I withdrew consent. I am absolutely not paying this bill and am willing to go to small claims court if I have to. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 03:16 AM PST As title says, my Father passed Sept 26 and as expected it's been so hard. To make matters worse, my Mother sent me a text the other day that says "oh and just FYI you are not getting any money from Dad as he paid for stuff when he was alive." OK, I can deal with this HOWEVER, I got passed down my Dads phone after he passed because its nice than mine and I was gonna use it. Upon looking through the phone, his Will and a form stating my mother as his agent are in his saved documents. I read both out of curiosity and sure enough it says I get a split of 40% of something (I forget rn). So a couple questions: Can my mom change his will and kick me out of it? Is anyone in this sub able to look at a copy of the will and ELI5 to me? I could be interpreting it wrong I'm not familiar with this stuff at all. Also, my mom told me I have to go to the bank with her and "sign papers" regarding Dad when I go in for the holidays. What could this be? Thanks r/legaladvice I really hope I get some answers.

| Please help: my boyfriends little brother recorded is in my bfs room! [UPDATE] Posted: 07 Dec 2019 11:11 AM PST My original post is here. Some context I forgot to add in my first post: his "parents house" was a rent house because my boyfriends closet caught on fire. So I'll start off by saying my boyfriend and I didn't press charges. At first I wanted to, but later he changed my mind because we didn't want to ruin his life. We got both parents together and talked about it for hours, and apparently this isn't the first time he's tried something NSFW. I found out he has a history of violent outbursts and has been sent to a facility to rehabilitate before (not drug related). We decided about a month after it happened to not press charges and to make him write a paper about what he did wrong, while also having him look up the legal implications that would occur if turned in. However just before we were going to tell them, he got sent to juvy for attempted murder. He strangled my boyfriend's mom in the kitchen; luckily, my boyfriend was home to scare him off. While in juvy, he admitted to setting the house on fire, and now that case is being reopened. Thank you all for the legal advice and other advice you guys gave! I'm very grateful for you all and it's now in the hands of the law. [link] [comments]  |

| My neighbor keeps pulling a "prank" on me and my landlord is being useless. Posted: 07 Dec 2019 10:40 AM PST Location: Indiana So I live in a relatively small apartment building with only one other apartment on my floor. So far it's been a dream come true, the place is cheap and is in surprisingly great condition for how low my rent is. My only problem for the past few weeks has been my across the hall neighbor. She keeps pulling this weird "prank" on me at all hours of the night and it's really freaking me out. Basically what she'll do is this: she waits until it's past 9 at night and start pounding on my door and wiggling my doorknob. There's always a lot of force behind it. If my doors weren't always locked I'm certain she'd just be barging in here. The first time it happened I thought somebody was trying to break in, so I looked out my peephole just in time to see her make a mad dash back to her apartment. I thought it was weird but I was too frazzled to really question it. I triple checked to make sure my door was locked and then went back to bed. But then it kept happening over the course of a few days. I always made it to my peephole just in time to see her either run back to her apartment or shut the door. I called the landlord after this happened three times and he talked to her. He said that she said it's just a prank and that she's just shy. He then went on to defend her, saying she was probably intimidated by me since she's so small and I'm a "stocky lady". Okay, whatever, that's fine. He told me that he asked her to stop and that she agreed to cut it out. But it keeps happening. Each time it happens I've notified my landlord because it's really creepy that she does it with so much vigor (not to mention she always does it at night). But the last time I told him about it he said that he wasn't getting involved in our drama. I've never even talked to this girl before. I tried to talk to her once when we were both in the laundry room but she avoided eye contact with me and left before I was even done introducing myself. My landlord's not taking this seriously at all and I'm starting to feel unsafe. Can I get the law involved in this to make it stop? I don't want to feel paranoid and scared in my own apartment anymore. Any advice would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Scammed by handyman, concerned about continued presence in our neighborhood Posted: 07 Dec 2019 07:01 AM PST Let me start by saying that,yes, my husband and I realize how stupid we were and will not being making similar mistakes in the future. Here's a summary: A few months ago we sold our condo in the city and moved to a house in the suburbs. We're in our thirties, while most people in our neighborhood are 60+ and retired. Since we're first-time house-owners and new to a lot of the outdoor maintenance tasks, our older neighbors have been very proactive about recommendations for services. Our nextdoor neighbor is a single, elderly retired woman. Of all our neighbors, we interact with her the most. She hires this guy (let's call him Bob) to do all of her yard work and home maintenance, and we frequently see him at her house. We learned later that he even keeps his car and motorcycle at her house. Long story short, yesterday as he was working in her yard Bob saw my husband and offered to clean our gutters for something like $40 cash or check. My husband agreed. After the guy was done, he became very adamant that he would only accept cash, which my husband didn't have. No worries, the guy said, because my husband could just drive to the ATM a few blocks away. My husband's car isn't drivable at the moment, but that was okay too because our next door neighbor (Jane) could drive them all to the ATM. So all three of them go to the ATM, and in the way BOb convinces my husband that we need some brackets installed, which he'll do for another $40. So my husband gives him a total of $80, and Bob will come back the next day to finish the job. Super weird and awkward , but okay. It's over. Nope. Soon after I get home (with our drivable car), Bob rings the bell saying he just spent $80 on brackets and can we reimburse him. I say we'd be happy to write him a check but he insists he needs cash right away. I guess we were both just overwhelmed and caught off guard, because I ended up driving this guy to the ATM to give him another $80. As I'm going through the drive through he says, "And actually if you just want to do another $40 that will cover the labor". So I just did it. Then he wants me to stop by his friend's house nearby (to get some money from her or something, but based on the house I'm pretty sure he was using the money I just gave him to buy drugs), and then at his house. I realized once I was in too deep how sketchy this all was, but I didn't feel like I was in a position to kick him out of the car. I got home and rehashed to my husband, realized we'd both paid him for the labor, realized we should have asked to see a receipt for the bracket (which I'm sure were not $80), realized how dumb it was to get in a car with him, and realized we'd just paid $200 to get the gutters on or single story house cleaned. We felt pretty dumb and angry. Then this morning Bob shows up on our doorstep at 8 am ready to get to work. Except now he's bought new brackets that are better but harder to install and needs an additional $200. I asked for a receipt, he said he didn't get one. I said he could do the job for what we already paid, or he could return the brackets and keep the money, but either way we weren't paying him any more. So he left. Then we looked him up in our states criminal offender system and found out he just out of prison for, among other things, a "false pretenses— $20,000 or more". He also has a breaking and entering charge from 2006. We're concerned about the fact that he basically lives next door and that he might not be too pleased with us. We're also concerned about the well being of our neighbor, for whom he claims to have done $100k in work and also may have some substance abuse problems. We don't care about getting our money back (we'll call that a stupid tax), but we don't feel super safe with him lurking around. Is it appropriate to go to the police? TLDR: guy who scammed us out of $200 has a long criminal record and spends a lot of time at our neighbors house. He is also probably taking advantage of our elderly neighbor. What recourse do we have? Edit: I'm located in Michigan [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 08:15 AM PST My wife is very talented at crocheting. She may or may not have created one baby Yoda for herself and now has been asked numerous times to create baby Yodas for Christmas presents. She's extremely hesitant due to Disney's reputation of absolutely destroying people for copyright infringement. She did reach out to the Lucasfilm rep for licensing, but hasn't received a reply yet. In the meantime, some people are saying that it's legal to make them as gifts as long as you don't charge money for them. Is that correct? Could she legally make a likeness of a copyrighted character and give it away, without making a profit, with no repercussions? We're thinking "no", but wanted the collective here to weigh in.

| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 11:54 AM PST title edit: serve not severe I work inside a large chain store (known for its weird people and hating unions) but for a smaller company that handles advertising and samples. I have a 5 year order of protection from when i was 15 against a man who kidnapped and raped me. He came in and started to talk to me and i told him he needed to leave loudly and repeatedly (i was told when i got the order that this was what to do) My manager comes and tells me to stop. I explain that i have an order of protection and she says that it doesn't matter and if I ever speak to a customer like that again I will be fired. Can she do this? Did I do the wrong thing?

| My boyfriend's ex girlfriend has been stalking me with the intention of character defamation Posted: 07 Dec 2019 10:52 AM PST My boyfriend, Bear*, and I have been dating for going on one year. His ex girlfriend Kelly* has done everything in her power to break us up since then. *names changed to protect anonymity Kelly lost it when she found out Bear and I were together. Harassing text messages slammed Bear and I's phone. Then, that same day, she began to romantically pursue my roommate whom she didn't have any prior affiliation with. Kelly and my roommate dated on and off for 3ish months, the entire time going against my communicated wishes that they spend less time at my house and more at Kelly's. My needs went unmet, I basically rolled over and allowed my house, which I paid half of the bills for, to be their house because I wanted to take the path of least resistance. I was basically living with Bear full time, only going home when I needed to grab my things or do laundry. Kelly is mentally unstable and not worth trying to reason with. The uneasy living situation continued until one day when I notice a bunch of my clothes were missing, and many more STRONGLY smelling of Kelly's distinct perfume. A few days later I see a picture posted on social media of Kelly wearing one of MY MISSING BRAS. I kicked my roommate out and kept his security deposit to cover incurred property damages. Homelife began to settle for a few days once I got my house back, I was excited to settle back into my personal space and refocus on my relationship with Bear. A few days pass and MY ex boyfriend reaches out to let me know that Kelly is now trying to go after him, again a guy from my past in which Kelly had zero prior affiliation. My ex and I have maintained a honest and harmonious relationship since we broke up. I told him to be careful if he does choose to hang out with Kelly because her intentions do not feel pure. They ended up hanging out a few times, he told me Kelly tried to have sex with him but he was not interested, and so he denied and that was pretty much the end of that. All the while, professional life was also disheveled. The startup company I had been working for lost two managers whom I reported directly to, and the CFO put all of their responsibilities on my plate, as I was the only one who was competent in how to run this aspect of the business. The workload was impossible for one person, which I vocalized the need for support to CFO, standing in as our out of touch overhead. I grit my teeth and went to work for four grueling months; I deeply cared about the work we were producing and my coworkers were like family to me (except for Brian*, he had a longtime crush on me and no longer wanted to be my friend once Bear and I started dating). I requested more support, a raise or bonus, or an appropriate promotion since I had been carrying the workload of three people, two of them being my previous mangers. These needs went unmet by the CFO, and so, as anyone with self worth would do in this situation, I quit. The day after I quit, the owner of the company (not involved in management of previous company) called me up to offer me a better job working for her other business which has separate management. She admired my work ethic and character and did not want to lose me. I got to work at my new job with a huge load off of my shoulders. Just as the dust began to settle, enter Kelly. This time, she is VOLUNTEERING at my previous place of work, working directly beside Brian. Together they scheme on how to take me down, they come up with the following lie: "she quit working here because Brian saw her stealing tips and she didn't know what to do so she quit the next day." This rumor would eventually get back to me as I heard it from multiple other new and former co-workers, friends, and Bear's relatives. I have a screenshot of Kelly communicating this rumor to Bear's sibling. There would be no HR documentation or knowledge of this lie because it was fabricated, and my rational for quitting was apparent between our HR rep and I--I voiced my frustrations to her throughout the four months, had rapport with her, and gave an exit interview which would further support the fact that this is a lie. I am wondering if I should take this one into litigations since Kelly is attempting to interfere with my professional life and livelihood. I just want Kelly to leave us the hell alone. I fear that if I don't take legal action, Kelly will continue in her attempts at character assassination. Although I have a very supportive new boss who is current with Kelly's attempts to defamate my professional (and personal) life, it is maddening to think how many coworkers, acquaintances, and people in my community may have a tainted perspective of my character because of Kelly's bitterness/ defaming remarks. I am simply trying to make it through this a) without stooping down to her level or b) without completely rolling over to this woman as she attempts to run a smear campaign all over the life that I have so proudly built. I am seeking legal advice as well as personal. What would you do if you were me? [link] [comments]  |
| FL-My job automatically takes off 30 minutes from my time card even though no break was taken. Posted: 07 Dec 2019 07:33 AM PST Good afternoon, As the title says, I work in a retail chain store, because the store is small I'm usually scheduled to work 6-8 hours by myself therefore I'm unable to take any "scheduled breaks" since I can't close the store and just hangout in the back. I can eat or sit down since most days it's pretty slow. The other day I was going through my time card and noticed a 30 minute "break" was deducted from my 6 hour work day even though I didn't take a break or clocked out for said break. I asked one of the other employees who's been at this store for about 3 years if this is correct and she said that yes breaks are automatically deducted from your time card and I now have the store manager who sent us a group text reminding us that breaks are automatically deducted from your time card and to make sure to take one, when I said how am I supposed to take one when I'm by myself. and why are they automatically deducted when I haven't taken any and she had no answer and I haven't seen her in person since. Is this legal and correct? I feel like if I'm not taking a break it shouldn't be automatically deducted because I was in fact on the clock not sitting on my ass in the back. Any help is appreciated.

| Revenge Porn Across the Border Posted: 07 Dec 2019 05:54 AM PST I've read a TON about revenge porn over the last 2 years and how laws differ state to state and in other countries. What I can't seem to find is what I can do when I live in the US (California) and the perpetrator lives in Canada (Quebec). There's no concrete answer from what I can find. Some (long) back story: I dated a guy on and off for about a year after we both worked on a touring show together. Throughout the relationship he was very emotionally and sexually abusive. He would manipulate me into doing things I wasn't comfortable with, get angry until I sent him explicit photos and videos of myself. I was naive and thought if I "loved" him I should just do whatever made him happy. Eventually, I ended things. He didn't take it well AT ALL and threatened to kill himself and said he would kill me. He'd send packages to my house, message my friends and family when I had him blocked, or email me when nothing else worked. Over some time, he stopped reaching out but I was still terrified. One day, I received a message from a mutual friend saying she thought someone was pretending to be me on Instagram. I went to the profile and I just KNEW... it was him. I asked how she found the profile and sure enough, it popped up because it was linked to his Facebook. At this point I remembered he had a pornhub channel that he had posted videos of an ex on before. So I looked for it and found nothing. Then I typed in the fake name he gave the Instagram account and there they were. Videos and photos that I hardly wanted to send to him in the first place... I reported them and had them removed and had the Instagram taken down as well. After all that, I was emotionally and mentally drained. I just wanted to forget it ever happened. So I didn't look into any legal action. Fast forward a year later and a notification pops up on my phone. He was trying to add me on Snapchat. BLOCK A week or so goes by and I can't shake this feeling that he's done something again. A few nights ago, I search pornhub and can't find anything. Then I remember he has a reddit account, search his name and can't view his profile because it's "NSFW". My heart dropped. So I quickly make an account, verify my age, and search his name again. I open his profile and there's several photos and videos he's posted of me and the girl he dated before me. They're links to his pornhub. So I've had the ones of me removed but can't get the posts removed from reddit no matter how many times I report them. I'm finally in a good place mentally in life and I feel much more capable of taking on the stress of whatever legal action I can take to get my life back. I'm tired of searching the internet late at night. I'm tired of checking the backseat of my car every time I get in. I'm tired of thinking every noise in my house is him. I'd like to prevent this from happening again and make sure he leaves me alone. It would also be great if I could somehow have anything that pertains to me removed from all his devices. New to reddit officially but TL;DR certainly applies here... TL;DR I dated a really shitty dude from another country who was abusive and has previously threatened me. He's posted what would be considered revenge porn and impersonated me on social media. So if anyone can offer even the slightest bit of advice, I'd be forever grateful. What can I do since he doesn't live in the US? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 09:55 AM PST Hi reddit, thanks for reading. In October myself and two other units moved into a remodeled apartment building containing four units. Every outlet in every apartment is a three pronged outlet, and one outlet in the kitchen and one in the bathroom have the GFCI attachment on them. Each apartment has a washer, dryer, microwave, oven, fridge in the kitchen. When we originally moved in, proof of renters insurance was required and our lease specifically stated that electrical problems are not at the fault of the landlord and will be required to be covered by renters insurance (we didnt think much of it until going back over our lease after electrical issues had started). A washing machine in our neighboring unit surged and broke, Maytag came to repair it and said the reason it surged and broke was because the outlet was overloaded. Along with that, some higher end tech devices that pull some power freak out when plugged in, and stop working. The apartment underneath me, had a power strip melt (thankfully while the tenant was home to smell it) and it only had a phone charger and fan plugged in at the time. The building as a whole is submitting a letter to the landlord that states -this issue was brought to his attention back in mid November, and his solution was to install another GFCI outlet to the washing machine (which when tested by a licensed electrician was still not grounded) -we would not have signed the lease knowing nothing in the building was grounded -we signed in good faith that the building and property was up to code after the renovations -we can no longer rely on renters insurance because coverage is void when using electronics on non-grounded outlets and to remedy the issue the tenants would like -the outlets in the building to be grounded and signed off by the local inspector -a rent reduction due to the inconvenience of living in a construction zone -and allow those who wish to exit their lease to do so without penalty and with full refund of security deposits If the issue persists for 30 days with no resolution, tenants will put their rent in escrow. My main concerns would be, submitting this letter and due to repairs, being required to move out. OR due to repairs, rent increasing beyond a number we can afford. OR not being offered to renew our lease after the year is up. We really lucked out on location and space and we wont find anything else like this. I love these apartments. All of the appliances are new, its an amazing city, its affordable at $1000/month, and my fiance and I have already moved in and made this place a home with new furniture and some minor modifications in hanging things that would be very inconvenient to move after two short months. Our apartment specifically, has not had any issues. Obviously, we would like to see the building be made safe and have peace of mind that nothing in our unit, or the units below or next door will catch fire. Do the tenants of this building have any ground to stand on when it comes to this issue, and what repercussions should I/we expect once we submit the letter? [link] [comments]  |
| I feel completely screwed, no idea how to proceed and am worried I have no options left Posted: 07 Dec 2019 05:09 AM PST This is in Michigan. I really hope I can get some sound advice. I am 22 years old I was charged with identity theft relating to a PayPal credit account in my ex-girlfriends name. I didn't do it, but my lawyer said even if you're 100% innocent and they have nothing good to back it up you can still lose at trial which would result in me having a felony, effectively ruining my career prospects, ability to get government aid, etc for the rest of my life. My lawyer got me a deal with the judge under HYTA (Holmes youthful trainee act) where the terms were that I would plead guilty in exchange for no jail time and no conviction being on my record (with HYTA once the terms of your sentence are complete, ie probation, the only thing the charge ever shows up on are reports given to judges and the police can sometimes still see it - no employers or anything can). We are now on to the point of restitution, and this is where I am left feeling scared for several reasons. The PayPal Credit Account was for $600, which is the most I ever thought I would have to pay, and I would not have plead guilty otherwise. My lawyer also was sure that at the restitution hearing that I wouldn't have to pay more than this. (I also have to pay around $3,000 in court and probation fees). My ex-girlfriend is asking for $2100. I did not speak at my sentencing because my lawyer said not to, but my ex-girlfriend gave a 10 minute speech to the judge with several easily verifiable lies, and the judge bought all of it. While reading my sentence the judge essentially said "You can pay her the full amount she is asking, or you can have a restitution hearing where i am going to award her more and make you pay for her therapy, medications, etc. because she claimed they are required for stress relating to this case". My lawyer said the judge seems to be intent on screwing me and that I should just pay the $2100. I don't see how it would be legal for the judge to order me to pay anything more than the $600. Some very important additional facts: This same judge granted me a PPO against this girl, and despite her admitting to a judge that she assaulted me, the PPO was terminated because a judge felt it was not worth the negative consequences it would have for her career. She is not paying for her own therapy or medications or anything, her mother (who makes half a million dollars a year) pays all her expenses including rent, etc. The $1500 exceeding the $600 my girlfriend says is related to charges on her bank account made by me. These were indeed made by me, but never without her permission and I had always given her cash at the time I used her bank card (I didn't have my own bank account, I would cash my paycheck then give it to her so I could use the money). There's also essentially 0 chance she paid off the debt to Paypal, as they would've charged it off if given a police report by her (which I am 100% sure is the reason she filed one in the first place, just to get it charged off and not pay it). I have been having non-stop panic attacks and crying almost the entire time since the sentencing two days ago. I don't know what to do. I make $1000 a month and I already feel like I'm not going to be able to survive and pay this. Can someone please give me some advice for the restitution hearing that is scheduled for next month? Should I speak to the judge and just tell her all of this? I wish I would've just gone to trial but it I was just too afraid and now I've found myself in a horrible situation where it feels like my ex-abuser has the entire court system working against me all because of things that aren't true. Thank you for your help Edit: I realize I probably come off as an arrogant dick in the comments and I'm sorry I'm just really upset [link] [comments]  |
| Bank told my dad info about my account? Posted: 07 Dec 2019 05:59 AM PST Hi, I'm new to this subreddit but was hoping you all could help? I'm an adult and I've had some issues with my bank recently. For clarification, I'm in Maryland. My dad called and from what it sounds like, they gave him information about my spending and such. Is that legal? Are they allowed to give information about my account? My mom was my co-signer when I opened this account when I was a minor. Side note: I didn't know which flare to use, I'm sorry in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Best buy gave a me a refund of a product I received Posted: 06 Dec 2019 09:40 PM PST So I ordered 2 things separately from best buy. When I when to pick them up, I thought nothing of it. however, I received an email that the more expensive item has not been picked up yet (roughly $700). I think this might have been a miscommunication between the staff when picking up my products because it was black friday... I received several emails to come pick up the more expensive item, but I didn't because I'm across the country right now and I thought it was just an internal mistake. However, today, I just a refund of the expensive product on my credit card. What am I legally obligated to do? Am I obligated to tell best buy? I'm not going back to where I bought it from for another month, so by then, it would have been a really long time. I feel kind of bad about this. Any advice, legally and morally? [link] [comments]  |
| I am being made to pay part of "prize money" for not making the minimum in sales as a server. Posted: 06 Dec 2019 09:43 PM PST Context: I am a new server at a restaurant in Texas. This is my first time serving at a decently-sized restaurant on this scale. Last month at my new job we had a mandatory monthly meeting. This meeting included servers and host/hostess as there were some new and old workers. During this meeting they awarded money for best sales of a certain menu item. All of that prize money was provided by the manager. He, then, announces a new selling competition of wine for November. The competition this month requires a minimum sale of like 2 bottles of wine or some equivalent in glasses. He states something along the lines of, "...you shouldn't give up and not try at all, those who don't hit minimum have to pay part of the prize pool along with me." I feel that the employees should not be held accountable for a competition. The server pay here is 2.90/hr plus tips, and we all know that pay is at the mercy of the customer. I might be overreacting, but I feel competitions should be an incentive for employees to work harder. He only said this through word-of-mouth, so I have asked to confirm this over text and have screenshotted and sent it somewhere just in case. Is there anything I can/should do or am I being entitled and naive? The mandatory meeting this month will be held on December 8th so any advice/feedback asap would be appreciated. Thank your for taking your time to read this. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 12:29 PM PST Unfortunately, I know someone who's been sexually assaulted. She met up with a guy from tinder, got drunk, and then assaulted. She say she doesn't remember much, but they drank and she blacked out. Afterwards he threw her out of his house. She went to the police and they told her that because she was drunk and can't remember what happened, she can't prove she didn't consent, "there's not enough evidence." She's so upset, rightfully so. Is there anything she can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Startup hasn't paid for work and canceled health insurance 2 months back without our knowledge Posted: 07 Dec 2019 10:54 AM PST I work for a startup that's been up and running for 6 years in 4 years in NY and 2 years in Florida. This week nobody has received pay. When asked they claimed it was a "paychex" error ( our current payroll company) but what has made things extremely suspicious is that they are keeping everything quite. HR sends us to finance and finance says they are working on it. There hasn't been any real explanation or anything that can justify what happened. All we keep getting is "We are working on it and check back Monday" not a company wide address. I was afraid this day would come but I expected a little more respect from my employer. In this case , what can I do to prepare myself legally to take action. Disclamer: the company has been Rocky with funds and they are telling us to wait till Monday. There is a chance everything will go back to normal but from the information gathered...might be unlikely unless we secure emergency funding somehow. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2019 07:16 AM PST I work retail and got called in randomly by LP/HR who first accused me of stealing (which I did not do) and said they had evidence but wouldn't show me. Then, I was forced to list off things I have done at work that have broken policy and they have me on record saying that I drank at work once. I was told I'm free to keep working and I'll find out later, but I don't know if its worth it. I didn't steal but they now have me on record admitting to other things that they pressured me to reveal and I think I'll get canned. [link] [comments]  |
| Urgent help in NYC. Landlord changed locked and stole passports and valuables. Posted: 07 Dec 2019 07:43 AM PST My friend (28f) was staying with her mom at a NY apartment on 123 east and 106th Street for the past 10 days. She found this place on Zillow. Last night Friday, she went outside to look at other apartments. Apparently this guy was subletting his apartment as he was going on a vacation with his wife. She has a rental agreement with this guy for 4 months. She comes back from looking at these apartemnts and the lock has been changed. She was confused and realised something was fishy with the lock.they started calling the main landlord and and guy who sublet the apartment with no answer. They were outside the apartment from 6pm to 10pm. They got a locksmith from nearby and got the apartment gate open. Just as they entered the apartment the sublet guy calls them and says to get out of the apartment and that they are tresspassing and threatens to get their green cards cancelled. They see that all their stuff is in garbage bags and they cant find their passports and jewellery which is worth quite a bit. They leave without taking any of their own stuff. They called the police and they were there for half an hour but said they cant go in because they dont have an order. Police also called this landlord but noone picked up Her and her moms passport is missing. She couldnt find the rental agreement.They are very scared. During the night she received creepy messages from the subletting landlord. The apartment has cctv cameras and there must be proof that she has been living there for 10days. She is very scared and the landlord has agreed to meet them at 4pm(6 hours from now) I have advised her to record her conversations and take her mom to meet him. She is very scared and needs help!! Let me know any other details you need. What should she do?? [link] [comments]  |
| (Ontario, Canada) My grandmother died of alzhimers. My dad made her sign a revised copy of the will. Posted: 07 Dec 2019 12:30 PM PST This was also posted in the Canadian version of this sub. But this sub is more active and wanted some input. Takes place in Ontario, Canada Even though I know, for a fact that my grandmother left money for myself, along with my 4 brothers. There is the original copy of the will, with us getting an equal share. My grandmother died September 9th, 2018. The death was hidden from everyone in the family, and we finally got told she passed away yesterday. When she had been deceased for over a year. Ex dad was the one taking care of while she was sick. He is a nurse who has experience working in dementia care. He wouldn't allow anyone to come see her, contact her...and any letters that we sent, he hid them. I confronted ex-dad about this. He gave me a document saying that all assets were left to him with no mention of myself, or any of my brothers. We knew it was all a lie. We found the original will with all of us mentioned in it, and ex dad getting 50% of the assets. Grandmother was also suppose to have a funeral. She paid for it. Ex dad took all the money that was for the funeral, had her cremated and didn't give her an obituary. What can I do to recover the money that he took? The only knowledge I have is that you have a year from the death to contest the will. He purposefully hid her death from us. She also had alzhimers disease, and she had an official diagnosis. Is the new will she signed even valid considering she was in the middle stages of Alzheimer's disease? [link] [comments]  |
