    Legal Advice I was fired, then later was told I needed to send in resignation letter

    Legal Advice I was fired, then later was told I needed to send in resignation letter


    I was fired, then later was told I needed to send in resignation letter

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 09:14 AM PDT

    I was recently fired by the owner of the business I was a General Manager at. Fortunately, I do have a witness that was present, that heard my boss verbally fire me. She has already written me a witness statement. After being fired verbally, I gave the owner my work keys and debit card. Because I drive the company van to and from work and could not leave the premises in the van, I had to call for a ride. While I was waiting, I had several threats told to me that the owner was going to call the cops for me to leave. Once my husband got there, I pack up all my stuff into our car and left. The next day, she told other employees I was on vacation. She also told clients who asked about me that I was on vacation as well. About mid day, she calls me and talks as if I was still employed, talking about policies and procedures that we needed to possible change. I asked her why is she was telling me this when she fired me? Her response was that I wasn't fired, that she sent me home to think about things. I told her no she did fire me. She asked what it would take for me to come back, I told her, she did not agree, so I told her we were at an impass. Later that day I received an email in pov form first owner to second owner, and this was the last limes "I don't think there is anything else to discuss with [my name], other than she is not allowed on [Company Name] premises since she is not an employee." Seconds owners response was "She has crossed a line from which there is no return." I did not respond to any of these emails. Fast forward a couple days later, I get another email from first owner who fired me "I want to advise you know that you were not terminated, just asked to go home for the day. You are welcome to come back. If you chose not to return, then I will need a letter of resignation." What is the smartest thing to do in this situation? I have not responded, and will not send in letter of resignation. But I have been told it looks bad if I don't respond at all. I have filed for unemployment already, and it is still in process at this time. In state of Texas. Please advise! Thank you in advance!

    TLDR: boss verbally fired me, but says she didn't fire me and asked me to go home for the night. I have witness proof she did fire me. Now days later she is requesting a letter of resignation.

    [ok] my aunt and her husband forged my signature and took guardianship paperwork to a notary who notarized the paperwork without me being present, along with a document waiving my right to my present in court of course with a forged signature

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 06:16 AM PDT

    They took these documents to the courts and a judge awarded them guardianship because they proved I agreed with the falsified documents. I am filing a police report and pressing charges to get a court order to request notary's books to prove how this was done. TIA

    Mother withholding my father's will. Says the house is "hers now". Land title says they were 'tenants in common' with 2/3rds ownership to my dad and 1/3rd to my mom.

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 03:56 AM PDT

    My mother acts suspiciously every time this matter comes up. First she told me "your father and I didn't have wills", and that "when your father died his half of the house went to me".

    Then a few weeks later she said in front of a lawyer "yes I have a will" and "yes my husband had a will".

    The land title says they were 'tenants in common' with 2/3rds ownership by my dad and 1/3rd ownership by my mom.

    She (my mom) says that she has not applied for probate. But seems to think she can sell the house any time she feels like it.

    Something is starting to smell very fishy (?). I will talk to a lawyer soon and I will contact the Govt "find a will" service. Any other advice or comments on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Wife Trying to move affair partner into our shared house

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:39 PM PDT

    My wife went away on a trip two weeks ago and when she came back, she announced that she didn't want to be together anymore. She has since decided that she wants to have her affair partner move cross country and live in our jointly owned house. I obviously am very much against this but she is telling me I have no recourse to refuse since it's her house too. I obviously have a lot of objections to this, the main being that it would be incredibly psychologically damaging to our 8 year old son. I am researching a good lawyer but in the meantime I want to see if I have any recourse here to stop her from doing this. Even with a lawyer is there any way I can stop this from happening since it seems she is going to be trying to move her in within the next couple of weeks. Should I just take my son and leave?

    Electrician Won't Leave Us Alone, Advice Appreciated

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:20 AM PDT

    Reposting from r/HomeImprovement, where it was removed and recommended I post here for advice. Edit for location bot: Location is Rhode Island

    Hoping for advice or thoughts/similar experiences/lessons learned. Electrician won't stop harassing my husband and I for final payment on a job they never finished.

    Full background: Husband and I hired an electrician/wife duo we've worked with before to update the lighting and wiring in our home - we had about 16 items total on the list (expand outlets; add recessed lighting; etc.) We received a quickly emailed quote for 3 days of work at $2250 and requested an itemized one that we could sign, which was promised but never sent. Since we've worked with them before, we didn't think too much of it.

    We received an invoice from the wife for more than half of the original quoted cost, which we paid. Then things went south. We hit four 'days' of work, where the electrician was showing up for 3 hours on one day, 4-5 the next (including lunch), and then he'd just take off, telling me, "I'm frustrated with the work." Additional info, since I was asked "What are you not telling us" in r/HomeImprovement: On day 1 he drilled holes for 4 recessed lights, then claimed he didn't have the right drill to drill through the ceiling for the other recessed lights and simply left without returning; on day 2 and 3 the attic was hot (as it is in the summer in attics); on day 4 he immediately found a cross-bracing in a wall where he was to put in a light switch, he said he didn't have a long enough drill bit to go through it, then said he was frustrated and left.

    The wife promptly sent us another invoice for more money we "owe", totaling more than the original quote, with only 6 items out of 16 actually complete. Edit to clarify: At this point, we did not have them come back to finish the job. We left it at 6 items completed.

    We spoke to a contractor friend of ours who told us that since we never had a signed contract and we had already paid more than half of the cost for less than half the work, at this point it seems like this electrician is just milking us for money. He advised us not to pay. We agreed with this assessment and ignored her final bill.

    Now - a month later - the wife will not stop hounding me for the additional money. She has sent email after email, called repeatedly, began calling and emailing my husband, and even created a new email address to begin emailing me again after I blocked the original. I sent her an email stating that they accomplished less than half the work and were paid more than half of the original price; they could finish the job for what they quoted or they can walk away with more than half the money for less than half the work. I have no idea how to make this stop at this point.

    Would love thoughts or advice on how to handle this because I'm at a loss.

    UPDATE: Ford Dealership Damage

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:12 AM PDT

    Hi all, thanks for the great feedback and wisdom. I reached out to Ford Corporate with my problems and my "specialist" called up the dealer and spoke with them. They are of no help to me.

    So the specialist says that the electrical issues according to the cars internal system were happening on an "on and off basis" like it would happen one day and then turn off the next etc. They say these issues started PRIOR to the car getting there.

    I argue that my car had no battery sign, no electrical issues, and that my dashboard was clear. She disagrees and says "nope! Your car internal system records each event and we see it's been happening on and off for a while now" she has a calendar that shows each time the car reported the low voltage issue.

    They also say that my AC being weak is now due to those battery issues over time. When I dropped it off, my AC would be cold and perfect. Now coincidentally, it's also messed up? They just threw the blame onto the electrical stuff.

    I then ask about my windshield and she straight says "Ford does not cover windshields" I tell her this was damaged while with the dealer. I tell her that I was not given a damage report, I did not sign or initial anything, and I was not told of any damage. In fact, the guy that looked at my car, took pictures, and RECORDED it during the drop off, said that my car was great.

    When I asked the dealer to show me the video/pictures, they said "the guy rushed it, you can't see the windshield in it" (which is probably total bs, they just don't want me to see the pictures/videos).

    All in all, they want me to pay for the diagnostic of these new issues, give me an estimate, and then Ford corporate can "financially help" me (whatever that means - 10% coupon probably). my windshield has a crack and that is apparently up to me to deal with.

    What kind of attorney should I be looking for? What legal grounds do I have to go after the dealer? Do I need to get the owners contact information or can I just involve the service advisor who was in charge of it? Should I file a police report to have documentation? Would really appreciate the legal process framework here.

    This is a Ford Service department with a parts section and all that. They don't sell cars on this lot.

    Ford corporate was useless, basically said each dealer is independently owned and has their own policies. Financially I can't afford to shell out who knows how much to fix something I DID NOT CAUSE.

    Hotel minimum age to check in, refund? Boston, MA

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 09:07 AM PDT

    This may be a long shot to actually be able to get a refund, but I'm looking for any way I can get my money back and whether I should have been allowed to stay in the first place-

    On Sunday, I had to rush my bird to an emergency vet in Boston MA 3.5 hours away from my town. He ended up requiring to stay overnight. I opted to book a hotel for the night as it was really my only option.

    I went to one hotel in person and they were full, I found another one online through expedia and booked it. This was around 8pm and check in time was 3pm.

    I get to the hotel and go to check in. They tell me since I am 20, I cannot check in, and I need someone over 21 to check in with me.

    I'm a bit panicked at this point, and am able to find a nice human outside the hotel over 21 who is willing to show id and check in with me. They say that doesn't matter- since I paid with the card under my name they cannot let me stay.

    I also was told I could not get a refund. Expedia says it's on the hotel to do so and vice versa.

    So, was that true, that even though I had someone over 21 with me, that they could turn me away and I was just SOL due to paying with my own card?

    Any ideas on if it's possible to attain a refund? Feels bad on top of my vet bills :)) I have never had to get a hotel before and it didn't even occur to me that any age restriction beyond 18 would exist. What do people do in this situation of being under 21 in Boston? There was a hostel in the area but parking was over $50 in addition to the fee, I ended up finding a friend of a friend who lived about an hour away. It was about 36 hours at this point since I'd slept as well, not that that matters legally, but sucks. Thanks all.

    URGENT HELP NEEDED: apartment maintenance took my belongings

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:08 AM PDT

    So my apartment lease is up tomorrow 6/30. The management asked my roommate and I when we would be turning in our keys, and we told them that my roommate would be turning his keys on 6/27 and I will be turning my keys in on 6/30. This was clearly communicated to management. But when my roommate turned in his keys on 6/27, they assumed we had both moved out. So, when I got back home after school I realized that maintenance had gone through my belongings and selectively taken items of value such as: -cologne -detergent and fabric softener -vacuum cleaner -new pack of mouthwash -clothes, belt -etc. It was obvious that this was not done in an effort to clean. Rather, they had selectively gone through items they wanted to take for themselves. I did not know the complete list of missing items since I was in the process of moving out. When I contacted management, they brought back a bag of some of the items. I told them that a new pack of mouthwash was still missing, and the manager offered to give me $10 as compensation. Last night, I found out that my iPad charger was missing. This morning I found out that the deep fryer that was stored under my kitchen sink was also missing. The manager asked me this morning (6/29) to give her a final inventory of all the items that were missing since she could not "leave this issue open ended." I found this request unreasonable since I did not think I would need to have had a list of all of my items in case they were going to be stolen. I asked management for $150 as settlement for all the items that were still missing. They declined this offer and are only willing to compensate the deep fryer.

    I also need to mention that I notified management of the missing iPad charger. The charger was being used by the management office when I got there. She admitted she had been using my charger and returned it to me later.

    I feel like this qualifies as theft, because I had made myself clear to management that I would be living in my apartment until 6/30, the agreed upon date for my lease to end. I am going to the office to talk to them this afternoon. I am thinking of getting law enforcement involved and seeking legal assistance. Any advice would be appreciated in terms of what I should do.

    Tldr: apartment maintenance went through my stuff thinking I had moved out already and is now unwilling to cooperate in terms of compensation.

    Therapist at school told her child (who is in my high school class) about all my sessions and past trauma, what can I do?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:36 PM PDT

    So I made a friend a few months back. She's cool, went to her place and met her mom and dad etc etc.

    Now fast forward to 5 months ago. A guy from our class comes up to me and asks me a bunch of questions in regards to my parents (shitty) divorce and a false MCDD (autism, that was later found out, a wrong) diagnosis. He clearly knew way more then I had told anyone, because I saw high school as like a new beginning, clean slate.

    All this information I had disclosed to my friends mom, my school therapist in middle school. So this therapist told her daughter about all my shit and it's a lot however, because of privacy reasons I am not going to go into it.

    I've told my parents. They're going to do stuff. What can I do now? I'm mostly really sad and upset.

    Using a "No Trespassing" sign only to remove liability, Ohio

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:06 PM PDT

    I own a piece of land in Ohio that contains a sizeable body of water which makes for a good swimming/picnic/summer fun spot. While I have never offered public access to it, several members of the community and a few other people have been occasionally using it. I don't particularly mind as nobody really makes a mess out of it. However, I am starting to get concerned that if someone were to get hurt or drown I could be held liable for damages. If I were to put up a clearly marked "No Trespassing" sign and simply not enforce it when people do trespass, would that be enough to clear me?

    Finding tenants for my rental

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 05:55 AM PDT

    I live in a county (CA) where many residents have been displaced from their homes due to a wildfire. I plan on renting my home while I attend school in a different state, and am currently looking for tenants. Is it legal to advertise a discounted monthly rate to those who have lost their home due to the fire?

    ex-gf asked wants separation agreement and won't signed lease transfer until i sign the agreement

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:06 AM PDT

    Hi,

    First of foremost, this is a throwaway i account.

    We live in Toronto, Ontario, We have been together for 3 years and 4 months and currently has month to month lease. We broke up in April this year. We both work and for this year we earn approx. the same amount of money (enough to pay 1 bedroom rent individually and still save quite a bit). A week ago she presented me with a separation agreement asking which i refused as the content of the agreement indicted me as the sole perpetrator of the break up and the amount of money is not acceptable.

    I told her that i will move out in August and will only bring stuff that is "mine" (my personal desk, tv, pc and few kitchen furniture) while she keeps the rest of it as she intends to stay in the apartments.

    Today, i received an updated separation agreement

    1 half of the amount of money requested as spousal support,

    2.additional clauses saying that this issue has to be kept secret

    1. the break up is under my sole discretion and it has nothing to do with my ex behavior

    2. Both parties agrees to share the cpp credit for the period where we were together (the last 2 years, my annual earning was 35k more than her

    3. She gets to keep our lovely dog

    With these in mind, i am ok with helping her with the amount of money she requested (i genuinely wants to help her to get through this as she is alone in here while her family is Outside of Canada). I also let her to keep our dog to accompany her BUT, i disagree on point 2,3 and 4.

    Today, I told her that for the separation agreement she has to changed the verbiage of the agreement, relinquish any cpp rights and lastly she needs to sign the transfer lease so that i can peacefully move out. She told me that if i didnt sign the agreement, she wont sign the lease transfer.

    I honestly do not want to resort to hire family lawyer (rather just hire ILA as a witness) and dispute every clause there is in the agreement (she will have to confer to her lawyer as well). This will cost a lot of money for both of us which i am sure neither of us could afford lawyer for a long period of time

    also, whether the lease transfer is signed or not, i will be moving out regardless but im not sure what's the best course of action to make sure that i dont pay the rent where ino longer live there. I'm moving back to my family house so that i can afford paying her spousal support

    I dont know what's the right way of handling the separation agreement even the content as well and how to safely move out without having a problem in the future (i.e. gf wont sign the lease transfer)

    any help here is much appreciated

    So church employer is requiring documented tithing to receive retirement matching + bonuses

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:48 PM PDT

    Oklahoma. I've read the thread about whether church employees can be required to tithe and I understand that they can. However, they are now requiring documented tithing (among some other things) to have access to retirement plan matching and Christmas bonuses. Unfortunately I assume this is legal but figured it was worth an ask? Once benefits are behind a paywall it seems like a murky area?

    Terminated less than an hour after notifying of Jury Duty selection

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 02:22 PM PDT

    This is pretty short and to the point, but I will list out some likely key info.

    Michigan, United States

    Small Business (LLC) - Approx. 20 employees

    Length of employment: 7 Years

    I have been employed as a manager of this company for just over 7 years. Besides of a write-up that I received 7 years ago, I have had no performance issues (at least any that were brought up) and no write-ups or issuance of anything showing poor performance during my employment. It has been the exact opposite really - receiving frequent raises and being given more responsibility. Anyways, a few hours ago I sent an email to my boss (which is one of the owners) as well as HR, to notify them that I was selected for jury duty in Mid-July, over two weeks out. Less than an hour later, my boss terminated my employment citing performance issues as well as some other various complaints. Tomorrow I am going into the office likely to "formalize" my termination.

    This is a new one for me as this was my first place of employment right after college.

    What's going on here and how should I proceed?

    Thanks

    [Georgia] In-law spousal support?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 05:55 AM PDT

    Location: Georiga

    I have a quick question that I am not sure if this is the right place to ask.

    My brother, his wife, and their child have been living with my parents for years. My parents have also been supporting them financially for pretty much the length of their marriage. His wife can't hold down a job, and my brother is disabled and unable to work. If my brother were to file for divorce, will she be able to sue my parents for spousal support?

    Rental house is covered in Lead Paint

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 09:39 AM PDT

    Okay, so my husband and I moved to our apartment in December, 2019 because we needed a cheap place to save a money egg, so we could finally buy a house. We live in Western Pennsylvania. I was pregnant when we moved, and our daughter was born in February of 2020.

    During a routine pediatrician appointment in the spring of 2021, the doctor stated they were going to do a lead test. We didn't think anything of it. When it came back though, she tested positive for lead poisoning.

    After the results, my bubby and I tested every surface of the house. It turns out the chipping paint outside the structures is lead. The older bathtub we use also tested positive for lead. The water came back positive for lead, as well as some bacteria. Luckily, we only used the water for showers and my daughter's bath.

    When the tub and water came back for lead, we stopped giving my daughter's baths here. Even with us avoiding the outside paint, my daughter's lead levels have doubled.

    With the housing market as crazy as it is, we have to move into a new apartment that's double of what we're currently paying. We're moving into this new place, which is great and all, but I am curious if our landlord could get into trouble? He did not inform us about the lead. We also have renters insurance, though I'm not sure how that could help right now.

    Thanks guys :)

    TLTR: house has lead, landlord did not notify us, daughter now has lead poisoning. Besides moving, now what?

    Court clerk tipped off person I am requesting a restraining order for - CA

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:20 AM PDT

    Hi - I am in California. I filed for a restraining order yesterday against my ex who has been harassing and threatening me. I didn't get it in in time for the judge to see to it that day, so I am waiting to hear about his judgment today. I have not served my ex anything yet, and have not been in any communication with him about this.

    However, this morning, I received a text from my ex saying he was at the court this morning "seeing to my families interests, and the clerk hips me to what you've been up to. So just to be safe, submitted opposition paperwork." WTF?? Is it possible the court clerk recognized his name and remembered me yesterday and fucking told him I had submitted restraining order paperwork?? Is that legal? What possible recourse do I have?

    [GA] Windstream, the only ISP in my area, laid a cable across my yard. They hit the main water line and are now refusing to fix it.

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 02:05 PM PDT

    Yesterday evening the cable guys came out to bury our internet line and in doing so hit our main water line. They claimed to have fixed it, but even before they left the only water source that worked was the water hose and the kitchen sink. Washer, shower, and toilet are not getting water. It was about 8pm when the workers left and they couldn't solve the issue. They admitted fault and said their manager would call us to get it taken care of.

    We called and texted their manager and were ignored. We called customer service who forced him to call us. He spoke to my gf and belittled her, telling her she doesn't know how plumbing works and they already fixed the issue and whatever problems we are having is our own fault.

    I called him later that day, was ignored, called customer service who forced him to call and I 3 wayed the call. They guy who spoke to my gf and the one who spoke to me are completely different people.

    He gave me vague answers, hinted the issues was our own problem, gave me someone else's number to call, but at no point stated the problem would be resolved.

    If I do have to pay for a plumber to fix the issue myself, what recourse do I have to hold Windstream at least financially responsible?

    Friends has no Vital records

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:04 AM PDT

    Hello. I have a friend who has no vital records, doesn't know their social, and has no ids. Their adoptive parents have taken all records and refuse to give them back because they are most likely claiming them as a dependent without letting them live at their house. This is in Oklahoma so an online request of a birth certificate is not an option without knowing the social. Is there anything they could do to get these IDs.

    Dentist did a botched job

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 02:44 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I don't fully understand the law or anything, nor am I looking to sue anyone but basically around 2 years ago (while I had braces) my dentist did a procedure, he filed my teeth down which I have had done so many times before, But when He did it this time I distinctly felt something was wrong. It hurt, and filing definitely shouldn't hurt. I remember raising alarm. So what effectively happened is he filed down my tooth too much so that idk if the nerve got exposed or the enamel wore down or something. But since then I've had permanent temperature sensitivity issues with that tooth. I told my dentist and every now and then he will "patch up" the tooth by covering it with dental bonding (i.e. the same stuff they do fillings with) but I feel like this is a half-assed solution. The sensitivity gets worse sometimes, comes and goes tbh. I am so scared that I am going to have to have some serious, and overly lengthy procedure if I want to properly fix it and I don't have dental insurance. How is it fair if I have to spend thousands more for something I didn't even do? Should I speak to my dentist about this? IDK what to do tbh. If someone could clarify how this works (Canadian btw) and what I can do.

    I am being pressured by my uncle to sign away a portion of money I inherited through his brother's will

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:38 AM PDT

    My family and I live in NJ. A few months ago my uncle passed away. He had two siblings, my mother and my other uncle. No one is estranged and we are all relatively close. Many years ago my grandparents and their children all signed paperwork stating that each sibling(3) owned an equal third of the house, thinking it was unlikely a child would die before a parent.

    Recently before his passing my uncle made a new will with my mother as the executor and did not tell anyone else about it. He didn't have any children but he gave 96% of everything he owned split between me, my brother and my two cousins. 24% to all for of us individually. In that 24% ended up being a third of my grandfather's house who is still living.

    My other uncle is saying that his share of the house was "not his to give away" and "you should never use a percent in a will," meaning my uncle who passed should have said 10k to each of the kids and not 96% split four ways. He is trying to "fix this mistake" by getting my brother and my cousins to sign away the share of the house belonging to my deceased uncle and have the new setup with my mom and living uncle having a half of the house each, instead of a third.

    My mother wants the kids to get the portion of the house and have nothing changed, while my uncle is saying this was a mistake and that it is practically "stolen money" and is trying to persuade me, my bother and cousins to sign paperwork removing the house portion of my deceased uncle's estate. This is causing issues within our family and I just need advice because I'm being told a lot of things from both sides AND my cousins and brother have agreed to sign. Leaving just me. I don't think I want to sign because I have reasons to believe my deceased uncle wanted it this way. They are trying to say he was not of sound mind when he made this new will and he shouldn't have done it behind closed doors... but it was HIS will.. shouldn't he have the right to be private about it? My mother wants me not to sign it, my uncle wants me to saying my grandfather wants to give that money to me when he passes, "he doesn't want it to come from [deceased uncle] he wants it to come from him directly." He also says I'm not losing any less money it will come to me from "trickle down" and that he, my living uncle, isn't benefiting in any way. Now, I like and trust my living uncle, he is my godfather, but I feel like he IS benefiting. He is now getting half of my grandfather's house, instead of a third if we all sign. And he just bought a new house himself so I'm thinking I'm being pressured to sign something but being told it is morally correct to do so, which I think may be untrue.

    Is the metaphor of it being "stolen money" correct? If it wasn't "his to give away" why am I legally getting it?

    Does the claim that my grandfather wants to give it to me through his will someday correct when technically, as my mom has told me, my grandfather will NEVER own that house again, even though he lives in it as a life tenant. He cannot legally sell it himself. This was decided many years ago.

    My mother admits it was overlooked that my deceased uncle's will would include his third of the house, but is it really "a mistake that needs to be fixed."

    Is it really true that it's terrible practice to use percents in a will?

    Should I sign just to avoid family conflict or am I being kind of duped here?
