| I'm being fired for following company policy. Posted: 03 Sep 2020 03:25 AM PDT I'm currently working from home because covid. At the beginning of the pandemic our company decided most people should work from home and we could access the on-site resources that we need through the company VPN. A week or so later they sent an e-mail asking us to refrain from using the VPN too much because it wasn't holding the pressure very well. The new policy was to use the VPN only when necessary and just be on our home network for all the rest. I scrupulously followed this policy because lately I have mostly been working on technical reports and rarely needed to access the specific on site resources anyway. Yesterday I was called in by higher management for a "productivity review". I was accused of spending days not working, because I didn't use the VPN for days at a time. Turns out they reviewed everyone's VPN login history, and decided that we weren't logged on the VPN, we weren't working. From what they said I'll probably be terminated for stealing company time. I feel this is particularly unfair since we were asked not to use the VPN when not needed. I met all my deadlines and there wasn't any issue with any client. I probably worked even more hours than before because I didn't waste time commuting. Since I've started at this company 12 years ago my performance reviews have always gone very well and I've been promoted regularly. I've talked to colleagues and there are five of us in the same situation. We're all over 40 and with high salaries. I think this is a covert way to eliminate "expensive" employees from the payroll. Do I have any recourse? Would it be considered wrongful termination? Location: NY [link] [comments]  |

| Is there any way I can get in contact with my son who was adopted without my consent? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 03:35 AM PDT The adoption was closed and possibly occurred illegally but definitely without my consent or knowledge while I was a minor. I was told the baby had died. I don't have a lot of information about what happened. I don't have any proof the adoption was without my consent. Are there any legal avenues that could at least get me in contact with his adoptive parents or do I have to wait until he's 18? I live in Ohio and he was born here. [link] [comments]  |
| Received a Subpoena letter from my ISP Posted: 03 Sep 2020 03:40 PM PDT Hello everyone, I received a letter from my ISP saying that Strike 3 Holdings, LLC is serving a subpoena to obtain my name and address. The civil court granted the motion. My ISP stated in the letter that it has not reveal my information yet and intend to object the subpoena. It also says that if I do not take any legal action and when it becomes necessary, it will release my information to Strike 3 (and I will be notified). I did some research and it seems that I have a few options:
If this happened to anyone here, please let me know your course of action and what was the result. If anyone settled, please let me know how much you had to pay. If you did nothing, did anything happen to you. Thank you very much. [link] [comments]  |
| County wants to commit my brother for life Posted: 03 Sep 2020 07:24 AM PDT My brother has schizoaffective disorder. With a doctors help we got him off of a really bad medicine that was ruining his health and life. It's usually used as a last ditch effort for patients with his condition and has even been banned, but the last time he went to the mental ward they put him on it. While coming off it he had withdrawals, started having hallucinations and other issues such as not sleeping. When he refused to put clothes on his dad lost patience and called an ambulance. They transferred him to another hospital, and now they want to have him committed for life. He is a healthy, functioning person when his meds are right, and this is wrong. We tried to get the public defender to take his case, but they represent the county!! We told the hospital they need to talk to his regular physician, but after they played phone tag, the SOCIAL WORKER decided he needed to be committed. Not a medical doctor, someone who has never even worked with my brother before. Now we can't even get him out of the hospital because they had a lawyer put a hold on him. We are trying to find a mental health lawyer who can take his case, but I just don't know what to do. He's 36, and doesn't deserve to be put on lithium and have his brain rotted so they can make money off him. He had a moment of clarity the other day, and we were talking to him on the phone. He said "please, don't let them commit me, I know what they're trying to do" and the nurse grabbed the phone, and you could just hear him saying "no no no no" in the background. Please, any help would be amazing. I don't know what to do. Edit: People have pointed out that commitments aren't for life, but we still would prefer he isn't committed. The medicine he was on was Clozapine, which was banned in Europe. We have not yet found a lawyer but are trying to. Hearing is tomorrow [link] [comments]  |
| Tenant’s ggressive “service dog” lunges at me Posted: 03 Sep 2020 02:37 PM PDT The gist of this is pretty much in the title. I'm a property manager in the state of Florida and today one of my tenant's "services dog" (no specified reason for it) lunged at me and had to be tackled to the floor by its two owners, held down, and drug out of the room to prevent me being attacked. Our lease agreement stated no pets, they claim to have had no pets. They had snuck the dog in during the first month they moved in though, but they had locked it in a different room every time I came by, So I could collect no actual proof before now; the courts have been closed for corona until two days ago, so we had not bothered with a notice.Anyway. One owner invited me in to look at an issue they were having with the stove, while the other held the dog by the collar in the kitchen. It was a large German Shepherd, and the moment I stepped into the kitchen it lunged at me, growling and barking. It pulled loose from the woman holding him, But female tenant was between the dog and me, and tackled it to the floor. The woman had to practically sit on the dog while the man drug it across the house to walk in a bedroom. After this incident, they kept saying how it was a service dog, they had gotten online and paid the hundred dollar fee, and that was it. I went out to my car and filled out a notice to cure, and as I was giving it to them she found the email From the site she registered the dog on. The email stated that the dog had only been registered as a service dog since sometime in August of this year, But they have had the animal in the house for at least three-four months. I intend on making a report with animal control when they open in the morning, but this dog is a threat and liability and I don't know what steps I can take against this "service dog"? I asked them to provide a statement from the doctor saying the animal was medically necessary and got no real response about if she would. Sorry for formatting, I'm on mobile, and to be super clear, we have zero issues with legitimate service animals and making accommodations for them! It's just that this animal is a service dog Soley because they paid $100 to the state a couple of weeks ago and I truly believe that it would attack anyone it could if it ever got out of their control.

| Family member forged their kids immunization records, how to proceed? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 09:49 AM PDT (California)Not sure how to go about this. I found out accidentally several weeks ago that my sister-in-law had her friend(that worked at a clinic) fake immunization records for their kids. All the families involved are very close, but I can't get over the fact that someone is putting other kids in danger. How would I go about handling this as discreet and Anonymous as possible?

| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 10:28 AM PDT My question is, is there any grounds that she can take me for child support since we're still technically married, but have filed for divorce. It's 110% not my child, and she isn't claiming it to be but I just want to make sure the court isn't going to try to do anything with it. I live in PA and she lives in NJ. [link] [comments]  |
| Employer is reducing salary as they want to hire additional people. Is this legal? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 10:46 AM PDT Today I was verbally notified that my salary will have a reduction effective 10/3/2020. I hold a management position and the reduction is $5 per hour (which is way below average salary in our area). I was told the reason for the reduction is because they want to hire additional resources that would benefit the company. They asked me to give a response by the end of the week (tomorrow). I really cannot afford this pay reduction and if I was to quit, they would need to hire a new manager and it will be very difficult to find someone that would take the job with the reduced salary. If I refuse the salary reduction and they fire me what legal options would I have? I am in California, Los Angeles County [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord wants full months rent but relinquish house early (Ohio) Posted: 03 Sep 2020 06:07 AM PDT My wife and I rent a house in Ohio. Our lease stated that our lease lasted 12 months, then went month-to-month following that term. We rented the house for nearly two years. Mid last month we decided to move. We found a prospective home and notified our landlord that we were applying for a rental home, and that he may be receiving a call from someone for rental history references, and that even if we were approved for the home we would be renting out his home through September to allow us to move out slowly and to allow him some extra time to find a tenant given the current state of the world. He was livid and called us threatening to evict us for putting him in such a bind. We informed him that regardless of what happened we planned on moving out in September. The house worked out and we confirmed with him that we would indeed be moving out. We said we planned to move slowly throughout September because we are both very busy, but he was welcome to show the house whenever he like. He found a tenant already, and asked that we move out as quickly as possible so that he can come in and make some repairs he'd been wanting to make to the house and get it ready for the next tenant, who is moving in Oct 1. We said that was fine, and moved up our timeline. Yesterday (our rent is due today), we realized we weren't sure how much we were supposed to pay this month since we were technically moving out earlier at his request. So we texted and asked him if he was planning on prorating the rent for this month to whenever he takes control to fix up the house for the next tenant, or if he wanted to prorate it to 30 days from when we confirmed that we were moving, as we weren't sure what his procedure for that was since he had put us in a weird spot at that point. He texted us this morning berating us and saying we were inconsiderate for even asking. That we needed to pay rent for the entire month, because otherwise he was losing money, and that he needed us out early to prep the house for the next tenant so he didn't lose money. So my wife and I are unsure what we are supposed to do from a legal standpoint. Do we relinquish the house to him before the end of the month (he wants us to move out this week), but still pay the entire months rent? I have never had a landlord want to prep the house for someone else while I am still technically paying rent before, and it seems like that could get me in trouble, as I feel like that would leave me responsible for any damages that occur while he's fixing things since that's still technically covered in the amount of rent I've paid for the month. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as we are at a loss as to what is the proper course of action here. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 08:10 AM PDT This is really my first time making a post so please forgive me for any mistakes. In 2015 my family moved into a apartment complex in Mesquite, Texas. After two years living at the complex, the apartment was bought by another company. The new company completely remodeled the entire apartment complex to a more modern look. The apartments went from having tan carpet in every room but the bathrooms and kitchen to having gray wood/linoleum tiles in the living room, bathrooms and kitchen. The only place there would be carpet in the new modeled apartments would be the bedrooms and closets. We recently moved out of the apartments in 2020 and the company sent me a bill for $1400 to replace the carpet for the apartment. I feel like they are trying to make me pay for the remodeling of the apartment I lived in from the old to the new look. Is this legal in Texas? [link] [comments]  |
| Attorney handling will refusing to communicate with beneficiary Posted: 03 Sep 2020 01:34 PM PDT My boyfriends friend(D) died in January and left him a vehicle in his will(we are located in New Orleans. LA). D's daughter was named executor of the will. The daughter cut off all forms of communication with us after the death. We are in posession of the vehicle and the original copy of the will, as we were living with and caring for D in the months preceding his death. We have been unable to contact the attorney handling the will to go about the probate process and obtain the title(which the daughter took from D before his death without our knowledge) of the vehicle. We have called, emailed, and tried to go to his office address which appears to be an apartment building. Attorney has been suspended in the past for violating the rules of professional conduct(competence, diligence, and communication.) How do we proceed? [link] [comments]  |
| Washington: Landlord left personal belongings at the house Posted: 03 Sep 2020 12:24 PM PDT At the beginning of August we toured a single family home that was put up for rent by the owners of the house. We set a move in date for 9/1 and signed the lease 8/9.Before we signed the lease we asked if all there personal items will be removed and it was agreed that they will be. Although the majority of their belongings were removed before the move in date there was still quite a bit left behind. The items include a few tables, tools, some clothing, a lot of indoor and outdoor decorations, cabinets, Uninstalled sink, a lot of used cleaning supplies, rugs, and a lot of used house maintenance items like paint stain and spackling, etc that we believe should be thrown away. Additionally there is nothing stated in the lease allowing the landlord to store their items on the property. However when we asked about the used cleaning and house maintenance items which take up multiple cabinets the landlords stated they will not get rid of it and it needs to stay. We are trying to get them to remove their belongings, but what can we legally do if they refuse to remove their belongings? [link] [comments]  |
| Public Lewdness At Place of Employment Posted: 03 Sep 2020 09:11 AM PDT If this goes against any rules, feel free to delete this. Located in Virginia. My wife works as a server at a restaurant. She had a repeat customer come in that she served. The customer exposed himself and "helped himself" at the table. She notified her coworker who takes on the role of her boss. The coworker says he will allow the customer to return because my wife doesn't have any evidence. At this point I am inclined to file a police report with her, but without evidence I'm unsure what good that will do. This particular police department is known to discard cases. I've told my wife to try and get photos next time he enters. Does anyone have any advice? If I need a lawyer, what kind of lawyer would I need? I'm at a loss of what we are able to do.

| Help with my eviction case in Texas? Bullet points below. Posted: 03 Sep 2020 02:04 PM PDT *Evicted from house by housing company. *Never saw summons, so Judge defaulted judgement to them. *Judge ruled we owe ~$2,500 in back rent. *We accept this and ask the housing company how we can pay them in full. *Housing company says our account has assessed damages, cleaning fees, etc. since the judgement and now stands at ~$6,000. *Called Judge, he said they are required to only charge me what his ruling stipulates. *Forwarded this info to housing company, they said the charges stand and have been sent to a collection agency and that their actions are justified. *Waiting for call from Judge tomorrow to update him that they are operating outside of his judgement. Any words of advice on what to expect? Can the housing company legally do this? It seems illegal to try to supercede a judge. What if the judge says there's nothing he can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor's landscaper drove onto our yard and broke part of our fence (Ohio) Posted: 03 Sep 2020 03:01 PM PDT We live in Ohio. My husband and I came home from work today to discover that our neighbor's landscaper drove through our front yard and backed their truck into our split-rail fence. The fence is brand new - we installed it ourselves over the last month. The truck shattered the corner post and pushed the rest of the entire fence line out of plumb; it also left deep trenches in our grass and ruined our front lawn. Our neighbor is apologetic; we called the landscaper, who insists that our neighbor is responsible for all damages since he signed a waiver (the text reads: "I understand that [company] is not responsible for any damage caused. If the truck becomes stuck, I am responsible for calling and paying for a tow truck to remove the truck from the yard. I am also responsible for the repairs to my property. [The company] will NOT pay to repair any damage.") At no point did we give permission - either to our neighbor or to the landscaper - to enter onto our property. We have security footage of the truck driving through our yard and gouging our grass. What should we do from here? We'd obviously like the damage to our yard repaired, the damaged post replaced, and the rest of the fence line realigned and secured. [link] [comments]  |
| Afni Inc trying to collect on an accident that I am not part of Posted: 03 Sep 2020 01:31 PM PDT I just got a letter from Afni Inc trying to collect $11,518.21 on behave of CONNECT BY AMERICAN FAMILY, for an accident that I was never part of nor was any vehicle I own part of as I only have 1 car. I called them to try and dispute and the agent on the phone stated someone who I have never met in my life was driving a vehicle that was under my name. However the agent could not even provide me details of what the vehicle was so I couldn't even verify if the car on the case was actually mine. The agents excuse was she had ~150 pages on the file and "did not have the ability to search for specific things." She told me she would note that I am disputing the claim and would give me a call later to verify the vehicle that was on the case file. After the call I decided to do some research on the company to verify that they were legit and came a across a page by preventloanscams.org(https://www.preventloanscams.org/dealing-with-afni-collections/) On the page they advised that I should not contact them via phone and just communicate through mail and start the despite by sending a Debt Verification Letter. I have already drafted one but haven't sent it yet because I wanted to advise reddit on the situation. Also the latter has a different return address from their headquarters, so if i do send the the Debt Verification Letter which address do I send it to? Anyone have some insight on what I do now? Edit: My location is California [link] [comments]  |

| Just found out my ex wife is changing my accounts by claiming to be my wife still. Posted: 03 Sep 2020 02:20 PM PDT I live in Idaho. My ex wife and I have been divorced for 6 months and today I received a call from my power companies office confirming my "request to remove my name from my account" and then hours later I get a push notification on my Verizon app of my "updated bill" which I didn't change. I call and find out that ex wife has been going into these places, using her old state ID with my last name on it still and casually claiming she's my wife and making changes to my accounts for what I can only assume is to hurt and screw with me. She is ignoring my calls and texts. What can I do? Is there any punishment for this? If she agrees to pay for something or enters into some agreement on my behalf without me knowing am I liable??? Thank you again, this has just started unfolding so I haven't done much yet Edit: I wanted to add that she's not listed on my accounts anymore. She's just casually saying she's my wife and they are seeing my last name on her ID and going along with it, in some cases just saying I will need to confirm the change later. The power company told me they didn't second guess it because this is common and they hadn't been notified of the divorce. Am I supposed to call every business I deal with and warn them that I got divorced? [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord lied about parking space Posted: 03 Sep 2020 02:37 PM PDT Location: Ontario, Canada My partner and I are moved into a condo unit and signed a one year lease that included a parking space. When we went to get our keys not only were the condo fobs not included (which was in the lease) but there was no parking spot for our car! The landlords is refusing to decrease the rent according to the parking spot price ($100) and says to get a parking permit that doesn't even apply to condo residents as the condo building has parking spots. What can we do? I've been looking for answers on tenant board websites but can't come across anything that can help us. We would have never signed this lease knowing they would lie about the parking spot. How is this legal?! TLDR Landlord lies about parking spot even though it's in the signed lease. Refuses to decrease rent to reimburse us finding another parking spot. What legal recourse do we have? [link] [comments]  |
| My (17F) Older sister (20F) is spreading inappropriate pictures of my younger sister (14F) online Posted: 03 Sep 2020 03:28 PM PDT I only made this account to post this and I've been told to post on this sub instead so im copy pasting it here. my family members use reddit so I'll be deleting this soon since it's a sensitive subject. My younger sister (who ill call K) came to me upset about how her friend told her that somehow she's received some inappropriate pictures of her. After some digging we've discovered that my older sister (who ill be calling H) has been secretly taking pictures of K getting changed in the past because she didn't have a lock and has been sending them out to all kinds of people from younger girls to old men. I am not in contact with H so I don't understand why on earth would she do something like this. Right now K stole Hs phone and is trying to delete all the pictures she has stored in there while crying. Help what do I do?? Can I even do anything?? And since this is a legal matter it might help to include im from the ME and Im not sure what laws we have around here for stuff like this. Update: K just told me she found some pictures of the same nature of my 15 year old brother ???? H shared a room with a bunch of my siblings in the past (who are all minors) including me so this is getting even worse [link] [comments]  |
| Can my employer (hotel) deduct a lunch break even if I’m the only person working FD? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 09:44 AM PDT I have been working at a hotel as a front desk clerk for about a year. I have worked both day shifts and night shifts. In the past, I was told that for night shifts employees were required to take a lunch break according to corporate. I never found any evidence of this being a thing but they sometimes did it. Their meaning of lunch break means taking off 30 minutes from our time sheet not the actual eating lunch part. We used to have a person working 5 nights a week. They would have an automatic detection of 30 minutes of their time (even if they worked double shifts leading to day shift). However, I worked the 2 nights that remained and I didn't get any time off for the most part. The manager did not apply an automatic deduction to my time clock since I also worked a few days. He would have to manually deduct my time for each night worked. The only time I ever got "lunch" time taken off for my night shifts was during the pandemic when I made over 40 hours a week. I hadn't got time taken off for a while now while constantly working 2 nights a week + 2 days. Now, The night audit person has quit so I am taking over their shift and my own. I will be working 7 nights a week until we find another person to work some shifts as well. Meanwhile, the manager is putting a front desk clerk in charge of the paychecks while he goes on vacation. This person informed me that I will be getting a 30 minute lunch break deduction for every night that I work starting next check. I feel like it is to prevent OT. It seems unfair since sometimes day shift is almost as slow as night shift. During the night shift, I am not allowed to leave the property. I have to stay near the front desk. I have to check in guests or assist them with their needs. We have no glass, doors, or locks protecting the cash register or any items pertaining to the hotel. Only one person ever works each shift. We have no security guards, maintenance people, or housekeepers. There is no one in the property to cover the position. I feel like they're stealing my time. My manager has said that he is taking off time because after we do our end of day reports, we have so much down time. I understand that night shift doesn't get busy but I am still stuck there. There is so many other shady things going around in this hotel but this is my biggest concern at the moment. This could prevent me from getting my full 8 hours a day that were promised and any chance of OT. Im sorry for any mistakes that are on this post. I would appreciate any advice for this situation as I don't know if there is any wrongdoing on my employers part. Thanks. State: Oklahoma [link] [comments]  |
