| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 01:58 AM PDT Hi everyone.. using a throwaway account because I know some of my friends follow here and know my username. So basically, like the title says: my husband has been cheating on me for our whole relationship of 10+years and served me with divorce papers..during quarantine. He wants me out of the apartment by next Friday but I am too embarrassed to tell my family. In my culture, no one gets a divorce and I don't know where to start. I know I need to get a lawyer but I'm completely confused and blindsided right now and would like advice before contacting a lawyer so I don't look as clueless as I am. He's being completely irrational and doesn't want me to have anything. Not the furniture in the house, the food in the fridge, or our dog. I'm hoping someone can help me out with the most important things below: First, We don't have a prenup. I met him when i was 19 and he had opened up his first restaurant in the city, I really thought we'd grow old together. I know, stupid of me not to cover my ass but i was with him for so long that i got really comfortable and couldn't imagine him doing this. We bought a condo in New York and most of it was paid for by me and my family but it is in his name. I'm scared of losing the house since my parents and I put so much into it. But, I also can't afford to keep the house on my own for more than a few months unless I ask my parents for help which I'm also embarrassed to ask for. Can his infidelity help me out here? Second, he bought me a car for my birthday just last year and is telling me i have to leave the car with him- so i have no way of moving any of my stuff out and would put myself at great risk of getting covid-19. Is he allowed to do this? Third, I am a co-signer on two of the small loans that he has on his restaurants. I'm also invested in them and they're a great second source of income, even in these times. How will the judge (or whoever ultimately makes the decision) determine whether or not I can maybe keep one of the restaurants or still collect revenue from them? Again, no prenup and my husband was unfaithful. I'd love to hear your advice. Any bit helps right now. [link] [comments]  |
| Wife Just Got Fired for Getting Tested for COVID Posted: 28 Apr 2020 06:42 AM PDT location: Tennessee My wife works at a nursing home. They now have a confirmed case and my wife was exposed. The admin at the nursing home did not inform employees that there was a positive case, wide found out thru coworkers who overheard the info be delivered. It was later confirmed this morning. After finding out she had been exposed, wife asked admin what she needed to do. She was told to do nothing, business as usual. After work, she decided to get tested at one of the local drive thru testing areas where she told that she should quarantine until she got the results in 2 days. Wife informed admin of what she was told and 30 mins later received a call from admin and corporate saying she needed to report for work because she would be exhibiting symptoms by now if she had it and that getting tested was extremely unprofessional. Wife said she would be at work - we have a young child so we don't have the luxury of saying no. This morning, wife is called into office and told she is being fired because of the unprofessional and fear inciting action of getting tested and informing the admin that she was told to quarantine until test results were back. That it would irreparably damage the reputation of the company if anyone found out she got tested after being exposed. We have audio recordings of both interactions that lay out exactly what happened and why she was fired, the events that led to such being she was told to do nothing after being exposed and she got tested anyway. Wife has never been in trouble at this place before. Never been written up, late, etc. I doubt there is any legal recourse here, especially considering most courts are closed anyway. But I'm also in the health care field and this seems just ridiculously unfair and like the establishment is trying there best to cover up the fact they have a case of COVID. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Employer prevented me from accepting better position by threatening hiring company - North Carolina Posted: 28 Apr 2020 10:15 AM PDT I was approached by a recruiter about a new position and after a few months of interviewing and getting to know the new company (company B) I accepted an offer. The offer increased my salary by over 25% and the position would be a promotion from what I am doing now. After letting my supervisor at current company (company A) know I had accepted another offer the news eventually made it to the CEO of company A. Company A is currently working on a project for Company B who is the owner of said project. Company A CEO called up company B and demanded they do not hire me or company A would walk away from the project leaving company B stranded with tight timelines to finish the project. Company B has since let me know that they will not be moving forward with hiring me due to the financial impact they could endure if Company A walks away from the project. I have not been directly involved with this project, I am not a manager level employee, and do not have any industry secrets that would hurt Company A if I left. I did not sign a non-compete when I started at company A (and I could argue that the companies are not competitors anyhow). I am an at-will employee at company A. Do I have a legal case against Company A over lost wages and future potential income due to the position being a promotion? [link] [comments]  |
| Forced to pay bail for the man who molested my daughter Posted: 28 Apr 2020 12:02 PM PDT I put my Grandfather in jail after I found out he was molesting my daughter from the ages of 3-6 years old. His bail was set for $2.5m. He posted bail which cost $250,000. $120,000 is still owed for which he put the house up for collateral. (The house where we lived with him for multiple years to watch over him after he had a stroke) I sued him for the house and we came to a settlement agreement which included him taking out a loan to pay for the Lien. He passed away before the agreement could be completed. In order to keep the house we have to pay the bail and my daughters attorney fees of $250,000. Is there any way to have the bail forgiven?

| Does restraining order effect custody agreements? Posted: 28 Apr 2020 01:01 AM PDT I'm getting my own apartment soon and my ex has already mentioned coming over whenever even though I'd only get to have my son there every other weekend. And she's been known to crazy stuff before (through my stuff out the window, smash my tech with a mini bat). Would I be able to get a restraining order if need be without it affecting the custody agreement? I.E her mom or BFF would have to bring my son to me. I'm in the US, North Carolina.

| Wife was pulled over for suspected DUI with our child in the car. Posted: 28 Apr 2020 08:07 AM PDT I live in Indiana. My wife and I are recently separated, last night we were supposed to meet so I could take my daughter for a few days. While waiting for her to arrive at the meeting place, I received a call from the police that she had been pulled over and that state police were investigating her for suspected DUI (drugs, not alcohol). The police allowed me to come and get my daughter. My wife failed the field sobriety test and a blood sample was taken. Apparently this has to be mailed to a lab so she was released. She accidentally left her FB messenger signed in on a chrome book, so when I sat down with my daughter this morning to get her elearning courses started for school, I saw messages between my wife and another man that I do not know, making plans for my wife and daughter to move in with him. Obviously I am not comfortable with this, particularly given the events of last night. What steps should I take first towards getting custody of my daughter? Edit: I just scheduled a meeting on Thursday with a lawyer. Thank you for the advice. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT The title says most of it. Yesterday my roommates and I were renting a uhaul to move from our house, when my roommate went to pick it up the man at the counter walked out with him to show him where to park his car (My other roommate was with him but couldn't drive it back) and the man said it would be fine right there. So my roommate parked in that exact location, and even double checked afterwards that it was the right spot. Well alright fair enough, the place seemed legit, the man at the counter seemed nice, and it wasn't in a sketchy area or anything. He and my other roommate drove the UHaul to our house, moved, and went to drop it off again. When they went back the car was gone. It had been towed away from the UHaul store. They then go into the UHaul store and the owner immediately gets irate saying that nobody told them to park there and that they're lying. The impound lot was about 100ft away from the UHaul place, and charged a $150 fee. They would not let my roommate have it back last night and said they'd have to wait until this morning. I had already left town at this point and was 3 hours away so there was not much I could do. My two roommates then had to Uber back to our house and sleep on the floor as it was completely empty and they didn't feel sure about getting a hotel. This morning they go to the impound lot which is strangely located literally right next to the UHaul store. The man who pops out is, who would have guessed, the same man that OWNS THE UHAUL STORE next door. He identifies himself as the owner of the impound lot as well. My friends once more calmly try to explain that his employee DID tell him to park there and that they double checked. The man quickly starts cursing at them and calling them liars. My roommates surrendered and paid the $150 fee and took the car seeing that there was no point in arguing, and they were exhausted. I honestly do not believe my roommates instigated the attitude from the man, I've known them for a very long time and they are very passive, the type that won't even send their food back at a restaurant if they were to get the completely wrong order. My question is, what recourse can and should be done about this? It's one thing that an employee told them to park there and then they had their car towed, but another thing completely that the guy who owns the UHaul store is the one that towed the car to his impound lot, instantly became hostile for no reason, cursed them out, and then charged them the full fee. If this isn't an outright and obvious scam then I don't know what is. My friend has called the UHaul corporate office but they basically said there's nothing they could do. Any suggestions?

| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 04:48 AM PDT Shes been listing me as a dependent on her taxes since I left the house at 16. Ive never made enough to actually file taxes so I filled out the non filers application for the stimulus checks imagine my surprise when I got a email pretty much saying, "lolno you've been claimed as a dependent". I don't know how to actually report her so I just filed my 2019 taxes hoping the IRS would start an investigation. Also the state took me away from her at 16 so like.. shouldn't they have known something wasn't right when she did it the first or second time? EDIT: I'm in the US. [link] [comments]  |
| [Update] [USA] I believe I was wrongly denied the ability to purchase a firearm. Posted: 28 Apr 2020 11:02 AM PDT Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/fkbkqi/usa_i_believe_i_was_wrongly_denied_the_ability_to/ So this probation officer got into the replies and said the first thing I needed to do was verify my entire criminal history. I got a PACER account and found it. The only crime I had been convicted of has a punishment of NOT MORE THAN one year so I thought I should be good. I was very nervous though because if I was wrong it would mean that I potentially committed a felony by marking that I was legally allowed to own a firearm on the purchase form. I went to my local police and got my fingerprints taken and assembled all of the information needed to challenge a denial. I sent it in and I just got this back instructing the FFL I went to that I am good to go! I am really thankful to the guy who told me to pursue this even though it was a pain. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 12:28 PM PDT This is in CA. So we signed a 30 day notice with a move out date of May 1, and we paid rent through that date. My roommate moves out his belongings, and since we live in different places now, he gives his key to the leasing office to make things easier so he wouldn't have to drive to the apartment or meet me to give me his key. I arrive a little over a day later, and the whole apartment is turned upside down, and I'm missing $2000 of belongings along with my passport and social security card. I called the police and they found no signs of forced entry. The apartment was locked when I arrived and before my roommate left. No one else has a key to the apartment besides me and management. I find out the next day that maintenance was sent to conduct a move-out inspection after my apartment turned in his key. Management spoke to maintenance and is still telling me that maintenance didn't take anything. What are my options here? [link] [comments]  |
| My apartment complex's management is acting REAL suspicious. [NC] Posted: 28 Apr 2020 09:19 AM PDT My girlfriend and I are about to move in to an apartment complex, and all of our contact with management has been broken and shady. They rarely answer their office phone, and almost never respond to email. Our resident portal is supposed to allow us to pay rent, and our lease states that rent can only be paid through the resident portal unless stated in writing. However, this morning my girlfriend told me that the office was asking us to pay an amount through check in person that was not equal to what we should be paying. This amount would be just rent, as opposed to rent plus fees. This was *not* in writing, only over the phone. In addition, our lease states a lower amount to be paid for rent than the resident portal does, $1025.00 as opposed to $1045.00. The resident portal also does not list any sort of fees that need to be paid, despite our lease demanding that we do so through it. Other examples could be listed, but really I'd just like to ask: How do I go about documenting everything going on, if at some point I needed to get legal help involved? I don't see this going well, and leasing laws in NC don't seem to be on my side here. Thank you for the time taken to read this, and I appreciate any help I get. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 05:31 AM PDT I am a sales person for a healthcare company in Florida. To give you some background, two weeks ago the company furloughed 50% of it's workforce due to Covid 19, myself included. After we were furloughed, our direct managers asked us to continue to "voluenteer" and work , attend company trainings, and at one point my supervisor put me on a deadline to turn a project into her (within one hour of her asking). On Friday, it was announced that they we're bringing their workforce back part-time at 25 hours per week and sent us "salary reduction' agreements to sign that day. I decided to give it a go and signed my agreement yesterday. First thing yesterday morning a meeting was held with out direct managers and our entire sales force, we were told that we would not be successful if we only worked 25 hours per week and they recommended working closer to 40-50 hours per week. My boss called me and the rest of my team directly to reiterate that point. She relayed that 25 hours per week would "not cut it" and I need to put the time in, additionally on weekends, evenings. She went so far as to say that if we do not show that we are going "above and beyond" by working extra hours, we could be subject to another furlough or layoff. I informed her I would work 3 days this week and she asked me if I would be available 24/7 to answer my phone, attend company meetings, and respond to her if she needed anything. I felt very backed into a corner by her gaslighting and reluctantly agreed. My question to you, fellow redditors, is what legal right do I have to deny these requests? What legal right do they have to ask me to work full time when they have made me a part time employee, and are paying me as such? Are there legal remifications to the company if I am laid off in retaliation for not following their ridiculous orders? Halp. Edit: I am a salaried employee. [link] [comments]  |
| Is a lack of free drinking water at work still an OSHA violation during a pandemic? Posted: 28 Apr 2020 08:57 AM PDT I work at a grocery store that hires approximately 300 non-union employees located in Kansas. I work on the overnight crew stocking the shelves, and due to the pandemic, the water fountains have been turned off. I have been purchasing gallon jugs of water from the store to drink, but I recently wondered if it is actually legal for the store to not provide water. OSHA regulation 1915.88(b)(3) states "The employer shall dispense drinking water from a fountain, a covered container with single-use drinking cups stored in a sanitary receptacle, or single-use bottles. The employer shall prohibit the use of shared drinking cups, dippers, and water bottles." I understand that the water fountains are turned off due to the pandemic, but is my employer legally required to provide potable drinking water for the employees from another source listed during the pandemic?

| New landlord wants to raise rent in a tenant-protected city Posted: 28 Apr 2020 04:42 AM PDT Hello! This is in Sacramento, CA. I made a post yesterday about the benefits of a year lease and month to month, and now I'm in a bit of a pickle. I asked my landlord for a year lease, and they said they would be happy to do so as long as they can raise my rent. The thing is, my rent was just raised in September of last year. Here's where I need your help! According to many websites under the Sacramento Tenant Protection and Relief Act a landlord can only raise your rent once per year, even on a month to month lease. Am I reading this right? If so, is it legal for a new landlord to raise my rent if the previous landlord raised my rent less than a year ago? Any help is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Can a DOJ complaint be filed against me for a charge-back?(USA, NY) Posted: 28 Apr 2020 08:58 AM PDT Hi everyone, doing the throwaway thing because I don't want this on my main. Backstory: In February I paid several hundred dollars for a resume creation service. This was a big deal and a lot of money for me, but I'm changing fields and had just moved to a new state, so I wanted to give myself the best possible shot. I went to small business run by a man (We'll name him T) and T promised over email that they would be able to provide me with targeted help and support for going into my field, including knowledge of the buzzwords and what I would need to highlight to stand out. So, that was a lie. The resume he gave me was just... bad. There were tons of spelling errors, the format wasn't intuitive, and T clearly didn't know what any the words I used specific to my field meant. The old self-made resume I gave him to work with was better. I brought up my concerns and he said he'd be happy to edit whatever I told him to and reassured me he knew what he was doing. I didn't want to be a jerk, so I gave him a chance to fix it, but that didn't work out either. When I explained this wasn't going to work and I needed a refund, he said he wouldn't because he offered unlimited edits. even though he wasn't adding anything to it but copy-pasting what I'd put as an edit in the email. Current: I filed a charge-back and sent my bank all the emails and the resume. They gave me a provisional credit and when a month later I saw a charge again, I figured the bank must have sided with him. I was frustrated but let it go. Well it turns out that the bank had sided with me, and I got an email this morning confirming that my provisional credit was permanent and I'd 'won'. When I asked them about the charge, they said it was from T himself. With that in mind, I sent T an email saying that I needed him to refund the second charge, as I hadn't authorized it. This (with names changed) was the response: "We offer free edits and you took our work and filed a charge back that's called " online theft of original authorship" a felony crime. If a customer steals our work our attorney files a complaint with the Justice Dept which shows up on any employer background check. If you post any negative reviews on line, it has to include the fact that we offered unlimited edits at no cost. If this fact is omitted, that's slander and we will file suit. I am willing to work with you on free edits to keep my end of the legal agreement, but I will not tolerate theft of our work. - T (CC a man who deals with vendor risk management)" I want to file a second charge-back with my bank, as I didn't authorize this. I never used his resume anywhere and don't intend to. Can he file a DOJ complaint against me? If so, does it work the way he's saying? Can I fight this? Or is he full of hot air? I don't want to mess up my career as I'm still pretty young, but it was a lot of money for me. [link] [comments]  |
| My bank called cops to my house Posted: 28 Apr 2020 08:44 AM PDT I went into the bank to show proof of employment as they were saying my checks from my employer were suspicious. Nevertheless I come with my business card, pay stubs and health care cards all with company info clearly showing 0 inconsistencies. The teller asked why I need my money so desperately and I responded I need to buy groceries, pay my bills and buy my medication. He oversteps his boundaries and asks what medication I replied anti-depressants. No problems they can lift the hold that day, no problem; I leave! Fast forward an hour and I am eating lunch with my brother and cops come to do a welfare check on me because the teller claimed I was going to self harm. Can I sue capital one for this?

| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 02:45 AM PDT I am writing this for my brother in law. He has melanoma and was supposed to have it removed over a month ago before the shelter in place was put into effect. Last time the doctor checked it was stage 1, but they said it is an aggressive form. Kaiser then pushed his appointment out a month. They just called to push it out another month. Kaiser has said they are not doing any treatment that is not an emergency or covid related. We live in California in a county a population of 500,000 and has had a total of 200 covid cases and only 2 deaths so it's not like the hospitals are overwhelmed. They are concerned about the cancer progressing and turning into stage 2 or worse and that the delay in treatment could mean chemo and /or rediation. Does he have any recourse? [link] [comments]  |
| Dad's in ICU from a motorcycle crash, towing company will only release the bike to him. Posted: 28 Apr 2020 07:13 AM PDT [OHIO]The woman behind the counter suggested that because we have the same name I should come back with the title and pretend to be him. But I'm struggling to get the safe with the title open, the registration is either under the bike seat or in his wallet... I'm doing this on behalf of my mother/his wife, there's got to be a mechanism here for her to get them to release it, right? Insurance isn't involved, there's no point in comprehensive on a cheap motorcycle. [link] [comments]  |
| Medical insurance switched over during ER visit, now I am stuck with the bill. Posted: 28 Apr 2020 10:07 AM PDT I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I am in the US. Several years ago i broke my ankle in the mosh pit at a metal show. This was on the very day that my company insurance was set to switch to another provider. I went into the emergency room with one insurance policy, and left with a different one. I told the folks with billing, and they told me to give them the insurance I was admitted with. They also got the new insurance info. A few weeks later I received a bill in the mail for over $20k. I called the first insurance company. They said to call the new one. Did that. They told me call the old one. Hospital said it wasn't their problem, but one of the companies needed to cover it, otherwise it would go to collections. After all was said and done, neither insurance company agreed that it was their responsibility, and in the meantime the account went into collections. I went back and forth with the hospital, both insurance companies, the collection agency, etc. Finally I was so tired of fighting I just agreed to set up a payment plan for $100/mo for the rest of my life basically. I guess I'm finally mad enough about it to see if I can fight it again. That's a lot of money to be giving away each month considering I NEVER HAD A LAPSE IN INSURANCE. What do I need to do? Hire a lawyer? Who are the first people I need to call? [link] [comments]  |
| Volunteer Fire Department (TN) sends out payment request every 6 months that looks like a bill. Posted: 28 Apr 2020 06:37 AM PDT The FD is manned by volunteers but the payment requests that they send out every six months look very much like bills. The document is called a statement and has a charges section and a payment due date. Nowhere on the document does it state that payment is completely voluntary. I paid several times before I realized it was not in fact a bill. I support the fire department and donate, but the documents that they send out are clearly designed to look like a bill. Is this legal? I just want the FD to be honest on these docs and say that they are a volunteer organization that is dependent on donations. [link] [comments]  |
| [KY] Our neighbor wants the city to tear down our fence Posted: 28 Apr 2020 06:52 AM PDT The neighbor who lives behind my parents' house has been calling the city to complain about the fence in my parents' backyard. The city has been issuing "warnings" that seem to rubber stamp the complaints. My dad is terminally ill and these complaints are an unneeded headache for my parents, so I'm doing my best to help them wade through the bureaucracy and take care of this for them. They live in a small city within a larger metropolitan area, so it appears there are two sets of codes that govern what you can do with your property here. Part of my dad's illness means they've had to renovate the house and add-on a bit to make it accessible for a wheelchair. Since the backyard was torn up anyway, they went ahead and put in a new wood privacy fence with a lattice panel on top, separating their backyard from the opposing neighbor's (this replaced an older wood fence on their property that had to be taken down during construction). This has been causing the issue. The first notice warned that the fence was too tall and needed to be shortened by a foot. This warning cited the larger metropolitan area's rules on fence height. The second notice warned the fence was a nuisance for being structurally unsound and cited the smaller city's code. The complaint said the lattice panel needed to be removed and the fence needed to be reinstalled using better support. To me, this is nonsense and makes me think the city isn't doing any investigation before issuing warnings. The fence was professionally installed, it's very sturdy, and it looks nice and new. The idea that it's a "nuisance" about to blow over seems a bit much. The city code cited here was 92.03. When I look it up I get this: § 92.03 (RESERVED). The "reserved" placeholder makes it hard to figure out if the warning is merited or not. I worry this means the city has carte blanche to decide what a nuisance is. But based on the descriptions in 92.04 on other nuisances, which describes abandon cars, debris, etc., I don't think a reasonable person would label this fence a nuisance. The rest of this section explains that the city's remedy for nuisances that aren't corrected after a warning is to hire workers to take it down and bill the owner for the costs. But before this happens the owner has the right to a hearing. I'm not sure about the best way to approach this. My first idea is to contact the larger metropolitan city about getting a permit/waiver for the height of the fence. Then wait to see if the smaller city plans to move forward with enforcement on the nuisance complaint and if so request a hearing and argue the fence isn't a nuisance. My suspicion is the city issues warnings to appease complaining neighbors but is reluctant to follow through, especially when this is such a small issue. But I also worry the city lives for this sort of drama and a hearing would leave it up to the whims of the council since there doesn't seem to be a clear definition of what constitutes a nuisance. My big question here is whether this is a reasonable way of dealing with it, whether it's worth it to contact lawyers, or if it's a pipe dream either way. I want my parents to keep their fence and don't want this to spiral into a larger problem. Any ideas are welcome. [link] [comments]  |
| alleged child abuse? what are my rights as a parent Posted: 28 Apr 2020 11:14 AM PDT Hi, I'm having some family difficulties with my husband- we are seeing a therapist next week and I am hoping we can resolve this without involving lawyers, but... His sister (My sister in law) accuses his parents - my in laws- of sexual molestation as a child. There was never any civil or criminal case. My husband thinks this accusation is ridiculous. He wants our daughter to stay with my in laws for bbsitting/overnights- I am vehemently against this. My husband never disclosed the alleged abuse to me, even though he know it was accused. His sister also says her grandfather (my mother in laws' father) abused her. His sister wrote us a letter last year recommending we do not let her parents stay with our daughter alone. We have a good relationship with his sister- I consider her to be level headed/ mentally sound. I have also spoken to his sisters therapist and to his sister in more detail about the molestation, and both are adamant that it occurred and that our children are not safe in their home. I was always ok with supervised visits, but lately my husband (and my in laws) are insisting that they be allowed to take our daughter overnight/unsupervised. As you can imagine, my in laws are also not very happy with me, and hurt that I could believe the accusations, but I don't want to take any chances with my daughter. My mother in law in particular has been very passive aggressive/cunning, has a range of personality/mental disorders- and I don't feel she is safe to watch my children (we have another one coming in the fall). My husband believes that his sister's memories/accusations are false. My husband also thinks my dislike for his mother/pregnancy hormones are affecting my ability to think rationally. This was less of an issue before because we never used them to babysit. His mother doesn't speak to her mother, daughter, or sister- she has mental health issues/ poor employment history/ poor social skills- her husband is a pushover- there are red flags. What are my rights in this situation? This is also having a huge effect on my marriage and I am worried that it will destroy our marriage. My husband has said things like he won't forget if I destroy my kids relationship with his parents- again, I am not trying to prevent visitation, I am just trying to prevent unsupervised visits/sleepovers. I wish my husband would just accept and validate my concern instead of fighting me on this. However, it makes me sick and scared to think of leaving my kids with them- what can I do?!

| Fired hours before the rest of the server staff was "temporarily let go ". Posted: 28 Apr 2020 10:19 AM PDT So, I was fired from my employer only hours before the rest of the staff were temporarily let go because of the virus. I was fired over the phone without given a chance to speak. I was fired for becoming too intoxicated while I was OFF the clock, which means I was a customer at the time. This is an embarrassment and a regretful situation for me. A little backstory: I have recently started working with a psychiatrist, my primary doctor, and my councilor to get a proper diagnosis as well as proper medications for anxiety, bipolar depression and PTSD. All of this was new for me and I have been worried of the changes that may effect me while trying these new medications out. I felt I needed to have open communication with my GM as well as my HR about these worries and changes in my personal life. I wanted to make sure they were aware and I was given great support. Now to the incident: My shift was cut that day because it was not busy enough for me to remain on the clock. I was allowed to sit down like any other shift and have my discounted shift drink or cocktail. It was never advised by my doctor, councilor or psychiatrist that I could not partake in my regular shift drink while on these medications. I became extremely intoxicated fast! I had just started on some new dosages and hadn't participated in my shift drinks with my coworkers for a couple of weeks to feel it out on its own. I don't even remember finishing my fist drink which was a bloody Mary. The minimal staff that was still in the building, noticed I was acting very odd and not myself. I was still being served, or rather over served by the bartender. At a certain point, I was cut off. I was not aware of any of this, or I would have acted differently. With only one staff member left manning the bar/restaurant, she was not present for certain amounts of time, leaving the bar with out a bartender. Unfortunately, during one of these times, I went behind the bar and poured a beer. This isn't allowed and I never would have done this knowingly. However, this sort of thing occurs frequently at my establishment after the day shift because the bartender is off doing other duties. I was terminated the following day, for pouring this beer. With my termination, I was never given a first warning by my GM for ANYTHING, even after 6 years of employment. Although, a handful of other staff have been given this "first warning" for their actions, which were just as bad if not worse than what I had done. These other staff members where reprimanded for alcohol related reasons while being ON the clock, not off, like I was. For them, this was not seen as " misconduct or a disregard of the employers best interest" as it was in my case. However, my actions, somehow, meet the definition of work related misconduct" as described on my unemployment denial form, even though I was terminated for misconduct done as a customer, not an on-the-clock employee. I there anything I can do in this situation? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT Location: Maryland, US Hi all, I purchased a new truck (2020 model year) in January of this year. I worked with the dealer online to coordinate prices, finally settled on a good deal, and went in for a test drive and to finalize everything. When I visited the dealership, I was a bit weary of them potentially trying to pull some tricks, so the first thing I did was take a picture of the VIN number of the truck I test drove. Lo and behold, when they presented me with the final offer sheet, the VINs were different. I made them correct the sheet and contract paperwork to match the VIN of the truck I test drove, since it had some extra options that I wanted. There was no difference in price and the dealer happily corrected their mistake. I will also add that when I test drove the truck, it has approximately 750 miles on it, so I asked the salesman, and he said they received the truck from a standard dealership transfer from PA, which seemed acceptable. I didn't question that fact since I still understood that I was receiving a new vehicle. Fast forward a few months, I was clearing out the glove box and found an envelope with original paperwork for a buyer in PA, complete with all of their personal information, a purchase agreement, odometer statement (318 miles), trade-in information, warranty contract and other misc. forms for the EXACT VIN of the truck I own dated October 2019. I went back to my original paperwork, and the dealer I purchased from clearly put "New" in multiple condition boxes on my buyers agreement, sales contract, and warranty service contract. There was no issue with registering the vehicle, obtaining the title, or insuring the vehicle whatsoever. Without this apparent luck, I would never have even thought to question the status of the vehicle. My question is that with this paperwork, the obvious mileage discrepancy and intentional sale of a "new" vehicle, are there any viable mechanisms for me to seek legal action? Aside from being frustrated that I was misled, there is still the market value depreciation of a used vehicle with an additional owner at play here. TL;DR: a dealer sold me a vehicle they classified as "new" on paper and I have proof that it is "used." [link] [comments]  |
