| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 06:47 AM PDT Hello all, this is my first post here and first time being a part of this community so forgive me for anything i get wrong or if this is worded weird- I'm still quite a bit frazzled from this. So alright, I work in the state of Alabama and today one of my bosses pulled me aside and fired me. I asked him for a reason and he continued with "You're fired." And "I don't have to give you a reason, you're fired." And as I continued to press him because i didn't understand he said "You run your mouth too much.", so I go to get my things and then I got to thinking about it and decided to stand up for myself. I went back and said "You guys haven't even come to me to get my side of the story, none of you have talked to me about anything, whats going on?" And that's when he tells me that I am being fired because I talked to other employees about my pay and then about the raise i got that i had to fight tooth and nail for all month long. He said that I had gotten everybody up in arms about pay (as they should be, no one is paid fairly there) and that now I'm fired. As far as I know, discussing pay and raises is not against the labor law and is something employers are not supposed to prohibit you from doing. Er perhaps i'm wrong, which is why I'm here- because i know very little about law and labor law. Any help and advice is definitely and majorly appreciated!! TLDR: Employer fired me because I spoke about (my) wages with other employees, and then those employees got upset about unfair pay Edit: wow holy moly thank you guys for being so insightful and answering a lot of the questions i had in my mind about things, this has been very helpful and I feel much more confident now about this situation. I cannot express my gratitude properly in words but i really do appreciate all of the help for real! And of course thanks for the awards, very much appreciated as well!! ♥️♥️ [link] [comments]  |
| [Tx] Arrested for public nudity in my own backyard. Am I 100% screwed? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 11:00 AM PDT I have a pool. I was home alone and went swimming. My underwear got wet so I stripped naked. I have a 6'5 fence. I wasn't aware anyone was watching but, someone's kid was watching and told someone and I was arrested. They told me I would have to register as a sex-offender. I don't even know what to do. if this is true my life is over. [link] [comments]  |
| Fidelity tried to deny me access to my account for a service due to my deafness. Posted: 10 Jun 2021 01:42 PM PDT Today I made a call to my broker to request adding extended hours trading. After going through verification process of my social security, address, my name, code sent to my phone, and my positions she asked me to add voice verification. I declined and explained that I was deaf. I'm a male and the interpreter was a female. The representative was extremely rude and used a tone saying "this is not [name]" and I patiently explained that I'm using a video relay service with a professional interpreter under federal regulation and she keep arguing and tried denying me any help with my account for about 10 minutes while my interpreter was pissed off and lecturing her about the federal laws. How would someone know all those personal information? How can someone be that ignorant? Do some people really think that we're still stuck in the 90s with TTY? It takes a lot of mental gymnastic to think that deaf people have no ability to advocate and communicate for themselves. Can someone kindly point the information to file such complaint to the SEC about this particular issue? In California, USA [link] [comments]  |
| Lost my job due to Fishy “voluntarily resigned” email. Posted: 10 Jun 2021 07:31 AM PDT This might not be as serious as I'm taking it and I don't actually know what to do with it but take it up with HR. But nobody seems to want to pick up their phone. I just want to know if there's any legal ramifications for what's going on because now I'm out of a job and I have to wait till they figure it out or I find something else. I went to work the other day after 3 days off , as is my schedule and when I got to work my Supervisor told me to come with him to the office because he was confused on why I was there. He showed me an email simply stating " My name has voluntarily resigned ". I was wondering why I couldn't clock in. He had no explanation for it and I wasn't in the system at all for him to clock me in manually. To be clear I didn't quit. I've been coming to work every single day and I was dreading another week of it but I was there. Now it's been two days and management for the hiring company that found me the job doesn't answer and I've gotten 0 calls from my workplace. I'm in Florida. Update*** I finally got a hold of one of the managers from the hiring company I'm under. All I got told was that their internal system terminated the wrong person. And to go back to work. No other information. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 03:26 PM PDT edit additional questions: Am I liable for emergency service costs sent to my home by my employer Someone mentioned fines Are there actually even fines for false alarm calls? The company I've worked for for quite some time has started an "Associate Check-In" program. To keep it brief, here's how it works. If there's an """emergency""" in the area, we all receive a text message with a link to mark ourselves as "Safe". If you do not reply in an hour, you are sent a second one. If you do not reply by the third, as I understand it... emergency services are contacted on your behalf to do a wellness check-in at your home. They are in the testing phase of the automated system managing this process. I'm on day one of my fucking vacation. I received multiple of these texts, and calls from my manager with voicemails telling me to respond to the system, which, I complied after seeing the voicemail. I dislike this for a couple of reasons:
My coworkers seem to agree that it feels weirdly invasive. We aren't salaried or on call or paid to respond to these messages as far as I know. I imagine I should be immune to disciplinary action with relation to ignoring them off the clock. Am I insane or overreacting? The legal question here, am I immune from specific disciplinary action or progression for not responding to these messages off the clock. (Obviously, we are an at will state, so I can be fired for no reason whatsoever, but I know I can't be fired for certain things, like retaliation for reporting OSHA violations and such. We are a heavily corporate entity, everything is done with extreme documentation. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 01:55 PM PDT Not really sure if this belongs here but since it deals with my uncle who is a Lawyer, I figure this is the best spot for this (if not please feel free to delete and ill post in r/relationship_advice). My uncle deals heavily with divorces and parental custody. My fiancé's sister and boyfriend had a domestic case happen 2 years ago. My uncle became the lawyer for the boyfriend. The boyfriend beat up my fiancé's sister pretty bad, along with breaking some items in the house... My uncle does not know that his clients victim, is my fiancé's sister. Is this a conflict of interest and should I inform him? They had the first trial today, which is where my fiancé's sister figured out my uncle was representing her ex boyfriend. It gets even stickier as my fiancé and I planned on having my Uncle marry us, and my fiancé's sister is a maid of honor... Obviously my sisters fiancé does not like him because he is actively working on getting all charges dropped, and get his client some custody of their daughter, (her ex boyfriend has not attempted to see his daughter in over 2 years and suddenly wants custody) [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 03:40 PM PDT So my current girlfriend(mother of child) is having major issues. She's suffering from bulimia and weighs about 70lbs at 5'3". She also takes suboxone, which she told me she was off. She hasn't had a job in over 6 years, has no license. She refuses to address any issues, which I've been trying to get her to do for over 2 years. Won't seek any kind of help, and loses her shut when I bring anything up. Obviously we have a kid together. I don't know how much longer I can do this. Honestly if it wasn't for our baby girl I would have been out the door by now. I can't imagine leaving my daughter with her. What are the odds of me, the father, getting custody? I have a good paying job. Edit: Sidenote, I don't want to keep our daughter away from her or anything, but I don't believe she would ever be able to support her. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:34 PM PDT My husband I had a fight and I went to work. I had a really bad feeling and left work at lunch to come home and my husband and my kids and his parents are gone. He made the parents turn off phones and they are not responding to my pleas to tell me where my kids are and if he is bringing them back. We are married and he turned his phone on and said "they are safe and in Texas" and said that kids aren't safe at home and he took them away. There has never been any violence in the house but we were yelling because I had just found out one of our kids was diagnosed with autism yesterday. I'm scared? Grieving and devastated and the cops said that since he is the father he can take them Anywhere. Do I not have a right to Know where my 11 months old twins are? I am horrified, scared, devastated, and I don't know what to do to get them Back or find out where they are or where he is taking them. Please help - what can I do? This is so scary and I am in sheer panic that he can just take the kids and literally hide them somewhere. They are just babies. I asked him if he will Bring them back tomorrow but he said no. And then blocked me. I am going to go insane. I'm Not worried about their safety per se but I have to know where my kids are and what can be done to get them home. [link] [comments]  |
| How do I stop my mom from taking kids Posted: 10 Jun 2021 04:54 AM PDT My mother is mentally unwell and we have been trying to make her go to a facility for a long time because she is terminal and needs constant care but will not allow anyone to help her. She declined treatment and signed herself out of the hospital. She and my father have four children who have seen way too much of their mother's mental decline and taking the brunt of her abuse. She is also a danger to herself and children and we have had to have her ivc once already before. My dad packed up the house today and left with the children she's due to return home from the hospital today and I know that this is not going to go over smoothly how should my father proceed to make sure that she cannot take the children from him and put them back in that bad situation? We are concerned that she will call the police and lie and make them come get the kids. Edit: the children are currently with me but my father placed them here I would also like to know if she can try to get me for kidnapping since he dropped them off at my house North Carolina 06/10/2021 [link] [comments]  |
| MIL's Siblings Deducting Rent + Utilities from Inheritance After She Cared for Father in His Home Posted: 10 Jun 2021 12:29 PM PDT My mother-in-law's Father passed away in 2020. Just before he passed, they sold their home in order to build a home in another state. Her Sister was living in the basement of their original home, and she had to find another place to live (and was given ample notice to do so) and was pretty angry that they were moving. MIL had been caring for her Father in her home as well (pretty much everyone in the family has lived with them at some point), and he moved into a nursing home since his home, which was vacant, was a split-level and he couldn't navigate stairs. The home was sentimental for him and he did not want to sell it. He lived in the nursing home for several months, during which he had a verbal agreement (known to all family members) that MIL and FIL could stay in his house for free. They maintained the home and yard, and transferred all utilities into their names, paying 100% of upkeep and utilities. When his health began to decline rapidly, they brought him back home for his final days and MIL provided food and care for him. She invited the family to visit as well. He was thrilled to be home and at peace in his last moments. MIL found out from one of her brothers (there are seven beneficiaries total) that Sister had invited the family to a conference call and wanted to evict MIL immediately following Father's death. The family was divided on this, with both executors of the estate on the side of eviction (the other executor has not come to visit in 5 years and does not speak to anyone in the family besides Sister). This was around the time that the pandemic hit (April), and it was decided by the rest of the family that they could stay. Their house took longer than expected to build, due to supply chain issues + labor shortages, and the family decided that they needed to move out (understandably) after the funeral, which was delayed until November. They moved out by the deadline and were NOT evicted, just asked to leave. The family waited several months to sell the house far under what it was worth and they are now getting around to distributing the proceeds to all of the siblings, who were getting equal amounts. MIL got the documents from the lawyer almost a month after everyone else, and there was an itemized list of arbitrary deductions for rent and utilities. The other family members outside of the executors were not informed of the deductions in advance. She is extremely upset, obviously, and the deductions total about 20% of the inheritance. It is my understanding that the trustees / executors are responsible for acting in the benefit of ALL the beneficiaries and not just themselves. There was never an agreement for rent and, as stated above, utilities were already paid and billed directly to MIL. We are in Georgia (USA). Is there any way to fight this or should she just accept the lower amount? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 06:21 PM PDT (CA) She's not really my girlfriend to be clear, but I've been supporting her financially and emotionally in preparation for the birth of our child. She's been averse to seeing the Doctor at any point of the pregnancy. I've never been able to attend any appointments during the duration of the pregnancy because of Covid. When she was due she finally started seeing an ob gyn regularly (roughly three weeks time). We had three appointments to induce labor after the due date had passed and she successfully sabotaged each of them, running away physically from the second and claiming to have/having a mental breakdown and suicidal thoughts at the third. I brought her to the ER and she was placed in the hospital's behavioral health facility. After a few days she told me over the phone that the baby had died recently. I didn't press at the time because it was extremely emotional for me. Later she told me that she had a stillbirth over two months prior. I've seen the baby move less than two weeks before this happened. She refuses to present any proof of what happened and her story keeps changing. I'm trying to ascertain the truth, but she won't cooperate and the hospital won't even confirm that she's there (a little ludicrous since I talk to her almost every day). I thought I might try death certificate/records for the stillbirth but wanted to check others' opinions first. Any suggestions on legal rights to know whether the pregnancy is over and what actually happened? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 10:05 AM PDT Posting for my mother, this happened in 2020. Location is Georgia, USA In November 2020, my mom was involved in a pedestrian accident involving a hospice patient. It was dark and the man was wearing all black, no light, and walker did not have reflective tape/light on it. The day prior he was knocked over by a semi truck and caretakers at Hospice were aware of him wandering, but did nothing about it. Due to this, my mother hit him and he died. The night it happened my mom was traumatized and uncontrollably crying, while the nurses were laughing "He does this all the time". My mom just is now able to go down the road it happened, thinks of it all the time, and still gets anxious driving at night and around pedestrians. Everyone in town knew he would wander and wander too close to the street, while his caretakers would sit back without him or going with him. While we're aware he can't be locked in his house (as far as I know), we all feel he was a danger to himself and others, as there have been several others who had nearly hit him, yet hospice did nothing to stop it or be with him. He had a non-hospice caretaker who lived with him 24/7, and we feel the caretaker and hospice nurses are responsible for this. Of course I know feelings doesn't equal legality, but I was wondering what sort of repercussions we'd be dealing with here. Mom isn't looking for money, but rather making sure this doesn't happen to other hospice patients under those certain nurses again. I'm not sure how to go about that, or if it's even possible legally. I just want to help put her at ease, as it's eating at her every day. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 12:20 PM PDT So this asshole came up to the casino I work at during an extremely busy rush on a holiday weekend at an establishment inside that's supposed to be run by 7+ people, but only my boss and I working the entire area. This guy was behind at least 6 parties with large orders of food and I told him we would be right with him but then he started yelling at my boss about some racism bullshit. He made a huge scene for about 2 hours and we had to call security because he was getting extremely irate. We wrote a statement and thought that was that. Just got a text today from the director of my department. Exactly what would this entail to me legally? Should I get a lawyer, and how would this effect my employment? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 08:43 AM PDT The medical facility's response, because this isn't the first time, mostly boils down to "that's odd, how was she able to do that?" and they blow it off. What entities do we contact to get this investigated seriously. Thanks Location: United States [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:48 AM PDT My mother died unexpectedly and wanted to know if I should call social security and the food stamps place and let them know she died so she won't be getting ssi or food stamps? I also had a joint account with my mother on her food stamp card, should I get my own card? [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord's wall bookshelf fell off Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:26 PM PDT I'm not sure if this is the right sub-Reddit to post this.. tell me if not. I have a pretty long-sized heavy wall bookshelf at home which belongs to the landowner. I woke up in the morning because of the weird loud sound like wood tearing like sound. As soon as I woke up from bed and the wall bookshelf fell off right in front of me and it smashed my headset first and then my pc(headset was on top of pc which is the highest) and then my monitor, it flew out to the front and smashed itself to ground.... and once the bookshelf was top of my pc and the desk it slid down while absolutely crashing my pc. never heard or experienced a wall bookshelf falling off from its place. I think the problem is because of the water drop from ac making the wood weak. I asked my landlord multiple times before to fix it. And they never did. what do I have to do??? who's gonna pay for my damaged stuff?? me or the landowner? Sorry for my bad eng. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:28 AM PDT Tennessee Alrighty then.
This is not an issue. I have lived in my neighborhood for 15 years and only recently had any contact with them. But there is a problem. One of the "victims" - actually, the main person involved, is working at my company. He just started last Monday (incident happened 3 weeks ago). I'm concerned about some sort of issue arising because of this. I could have him let go, but I'm worried it might be a legal thing if I do that. Is that even necessary, though? Am I good so long as I don't speak to him? Basically just pretend he doesn't exist? Or, because the court ordered no contact, does that mean one of us needs to go? There were no specifics agreed upon - the DA just gave a few examples: "If there is an altercation that you initiated, it'll be really bad for you" - "If you walk into WalMart and you see them, turn around and walk the other way" - "Avoid an altercation no matter what" - "you don't want them calling the police and saying that you're harassing them". Based on that, it sounds like I should be okay so long as "no contact" occurs. Is this true? [link] [comments]  |
| (WA State) Employer paid regular wage instead of sick pay Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:54 PM PDT I used a sick day last month. In Washington state you are entitled to up to 40 hours of paid sick time off. The time accrued and used is stated on pay stubs. However, instead of deducting the sick time they paid me a regular wage, as if I had worked that shift even though a coworker covered it. I brought this to the attention of my supervisor (emailed, as I work nights and don't see him in person) and filled out a form through the company payroll adjustment portal, which I believe goes to the payroll department. Despite this, they didn't respond and haven't made any adjustments on my latest paystub. I'm not really affected financially by this, I received the same wage I would have if they had classified it as a sick day. However, this does seem shady somehow. We are short staffed, and per our contract with the site we work at, need to fulfill a certain amount of labor hours per 2 week period. I'm wondering if the reason they aren't listing it as sick PTO is so they can report to the client an additional 8 hours of labor. So basically although it has no bearing on me personally (it basically allows me to keep an extra 8 hours of sick time accrued) it still sketches me out. Is there anything I can, or should, do? Or should I just not rock the boat and let it go? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| I'm not receiving royalty payments I'm owed from Spotify, is this legal? What can I do from here? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 07:03 AM PDT I'm an independent musician based in Nashville, Tennessee that usually makes between $300-$500 a month via Spotify streams on a consistent basis. But recently, my numbers doubled in the past two months due to a song release that brought attention to my page. Realistically I should have received twice as much earnings the past two months, but instead it's a concerning fraction of what I usually get. For the month of April I received $36. For May I received $8. I'm worried this month will be nothing. I've emailed my distributor and they so far insist that it is not due to anything on their end. I'm currently waiting on an answer from Spotify for artists, but based on the vague responses I've gotten from them in the past my hopes are low. Does anyone know what I can do from here? This is half of my income and what I need for groceries, rent, etc. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Former Landlord in Texas Sent Me to Collections for Nonsense Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:31 PM PDT Hi there Reddit, I have a question for your finest legal minds. I recently moved out of an apartment in the Austin area and it all went about as you'd expect, except that a week or so after we moved out, we received a "final account statement" letter from the lease office stating that, in addition to keeping my entire security deposit, they were charging us for so much cleaning and repair that we owed them an additional $200+. Things they charged us for on the way out the door included "Air Duct Clean" (???), Tub Resurface, etc. Without going into the weeds and making this a huge post full of boring details, we were not rough on that apartment. The walls were barely touched, there was no outright damage to the place whatsoever. We made a reasonable effort to clean it. It looked like a place people had lived in for four years who didn't smoke, took their shoes off indoors, rarely had guests, never had children or pets. So the idea that it cost them $1000+ to clean up after us is ludicrous. Furthermore, Texas' tenants rights specify that a landlord cannot charge a tenant for "normal wear and tear", and goes on to state in particular that they can only charge for "actual abnormal damage." When I received the itemized list of costs from this landlord via email, I replied that I disagreed with several of the items they included. They ignored my emails for days between responses, and were evasive in regards to the specific points I was making, instead leaning into the threat of sending me to collections, which they ultimately did. I am absolutely not going to give these people more money that they're not entitled to, but at this point they've damaged my credit. I contacted the Austin tenant's council, which turned out to be a dead end. Can I sue these people? It seems silly for such a small amount of money, but at this point they've damaged my credit and have effectively kept money they owe me in violation of state law. What should I do, legal Reddit?
