| Posted: 03 Nov 2021 09:44 AM PDT So back story. My bike was stolen from me from work. Worth about 5k new. I reported it stolen with serial number. Its been 4 months now and I see my bike on offer up. Its a rare bike with mismatch tires and aftermarket pedals. I tell the detective about it. She calls me today and confirmed it was my bike even down to the cereal number. She said they can't legally seize it and that I would have to call the person who has it. I call them and they tell me "oh we are victims of theft" and stuff. They want $1000. I explained to them I'm a college student with barely any money and they did not care. What do I do now? Do I have to pay these people $1000 for the bike I legally own and have registered under my name? [link] [comments]  |
| Subpoena Received to Divulge Information that was Previously Court-Ordered to Not Share? Posted: 03 Nov 2021 09:46 AM PDT Hi there. I've run across a situation and I'm not sure which item takes precedent. I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me do the right thing. I was involved in a domestic case years ago and the case settled in court. The settlement stated that I was not allowed to disclose any of the information, including video-evidence that was involved in the hearing. Fast forward 8 years later, I thought this case was way out of my rearview mirror forever. THE EXACT DAY after I decide to clean out the file cabinet and throw the court paperwork in the recycle box, I receive a subpoena. Apparently there's another case that's happening that involves the defendants from my prior case. Those defendants are now the plaintiffs in this new case and the new defendants' lawyer issued a subpoena for me to provide the video evidence from my prior case. I am stumped. I'm not sure what to do. I know that you can't ignore a subpoena, but I was court-ordered to not disclose the video-evidence in the prior case as part of the settlement. I emailed the lawyer who issued the subpoena. I explained the situation and pointed them to the old court case #. I believe they can obtain the records for themselves. They haven't responded. I'm getting nervous because I don't want to legally mess up. What should I do? Which item takes precedent -- the court settlement order or the subpoena? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2021 10:03 AM PDT Hello all. Couple weeks back I was stopped at a red light behind a car. I had been fighting a cold and was tired. Closed my eyes for a little bit and rolled into the car right in front me. Got out to make sure she was okay. I didn't see any damage on either vehicles and I gave her my information. She's since filed a claim that the rear of her vehicle is totally smashed in. It's total b.s. Claims adjustor is asking for a picture of the front of my vehicle. There's no damage there, but I'm weary sending anything at all. I've read online that I should only provide basic information like name, address and number. What are my options here?

| I had a relationship with my teacher and now I want to report him Posted: 02 Nov 2021 05:59 PM PDT The main reason I'm here is to get some advice on whether or not reporting is going to lead to me getting charged with crimes as well as him. I (21f) was 16 at the end of my junior year when I was introduced to our new band teacher. Let's call him Mr. B who was 31 at the time. I knew of him throughout the summer but didn't really get to know him until the following fall semester my senior year when I was 17. Because of transportation issues Mr. B ends up being my ride to morning marching band practice. These drives were roughly 15 minutes and me and Mr. B end up getting to know each other pretty well. We add each other on snap and other social media. It started with sexting. Mr. B would encourage me to drink my parents alcohol and send him nudes. I won't get into the graphics. Then one night Mr. B had me tell my parents a pep rally ran late. We went to a corn field and began a sexual relationship after Christmas break. He started referring to me as his girlfriend and the relationship quickly turned abusive. I had a very difficult home life and was being sexually abused by my father which Mr. B knew. He found it appealing to make me act out scenes with him similar to my abuse. He got off to raping me and at one point came to my place of work and raped me on the floor in my uniform. He would hit me, kick me. His fantasy was to one day shoot me in the head and have intercourse with my body until I became cold. I enlisted in the military and was able to escape. I have read online that even though I was a minor at the time, I could be charged with child p@$n distribution. I want to report him as I know he had a similar incident at the school before mine. He had allegations with a 15 year old and now I just found out he's moved onto another high school. I want to stop him. I came to him, abused and vulnerable and he ruined me further with no remorse. But I don't want to ruin my future. I'm planning on applying to medical school soon. And feel free to shame me as I take full responsibility but he was married at the time so I am unsure if adulatory is something I should be worried about as I don't really know if it counts as consenting. And morally I don't want to tear apart his family. He has a little girl and daddy issues is what got me here in the first place I don't want to repeat the cycle. [link] [comments]  |
| Ex-friend has a lewd photo I took when I was 17. She has been threatening me with it for 4 years. Posted: 03 Nov 2021 03:24 AM PDT I don't want to use her real name, so we will call her A. So... yeah. I made a dumb decision when I was 17. I don't wanna go into details about the content of the photo, but basically it only shows my waist-down area, and half of my ex-boyfriend's face is in it. He was also 17 at the time. How she got ahold of this photo is not to my knowledge. Ex-bf denies sending it to her or giving her access long enough to his phone to allow her to send it to herself. He is an unreliable source though, since he lies a lot, so I don't really trust his word. A sends these images on 'burner' Instagram accounts. There has been one time in the past where this image was sent to me on her personal Facebook account, but this was in 2018. I've had the picture sent to me a total of 3 times, and a couple of my close friends have had it sent to them too. I have made two reports. One was filed around a year and a half ago (nothing came of this), while the second was reported a month ago. Police came around to my house to speak to me, basically told me that if her name isn't attached to the account there isn't much they could do. Clearly they can IP track this account but it probably isn't enough of their concern. For whatever reason, the cop believed me without any evidence and decided to call her after finding her number in the system. She flat-out admitted to it. Cop implied she was in tears on the phone and clearly wasn't in a good state of mind. She refused to disclose where she lived, and the cop wanted to do a welfare check, so he asked if I possibly knew where she could be staying. I gave him her parents' address and I've heard nothing since. I thought it was over. A promised the cop the photo was deleted and she was going to stop. Of course, I was wrong. One of my best friends had the picture sent to her earlier this week, along with a message telling us "Y'all are so embarrassing". As soon as my friend clicked on the messages, A removed them so my friend couldn't screenshot. A is clearly teasing us. I want to make another report but with no evidence to show, and the account being deactivated, I feel like I just have to deal with this pathetic taunting. I hate that she has this picture of me. Who knows how many people have seen it. She hangs out with some real creeps. I really need some advice :( TLDR: Crazy ex-friend has lewd picture of me and ex-bf when we were 17, has been threatening me with it for 4 years. Police have spoken to her, she's admitted to doing it, promised to stop, and is now continuing her torment. Unable to get evidence due to her deleting so quick. Help!! [link] [comments]  |
| My ex threatened to SWAT me, then followed through. Posted: 02 Nov 2021 06:43 PM PDT My ex and I got in an argument 2 weeks ago. It took place in person (which is important). The argument ended with my ex telling me that "I shouldn't be surprised if my ass gets SWATTED soon". My ex has a history of making empty threats, so I ignored it and didn't care. This morning, several police officers showed up at my college dorm room. Someone had filled out the FBI anonymous tip form, claiming that I threatened to shoot up my college. They searched my entire room for dangerous weapons, found nothing. I was taken to the police station and questioned for a few hours before I was allowed to head back to my room. The agents told me that this investigation isn't over, and that the school administration will be notified about this. I know that this was my ex. However, I don't have evidence of his SWATTING threat, since our argument took place in person. I'm more worried about protecting myself than my ex. The tip claimed that I verbally threatened a mass shooting. Even when the police find no evidence of any actual mass shooting, I still look like an asshole who goes around threatening mass shootings (and could get charged/expelled for this). Any advice would be a life saver right now. I am in New York [link] [comments]  |
| Is a marriage annulment dated from when it's filed or when it's approved? Posted: 03 Nov 2021 10:45 AM PDT My father-in-law got married shortly before he passed away (in Oklahoma). His wife was under a guardianship and the guardian did not consent to the wedding and filed paperwork this past summer to have the marriage annulled. The court has not yet approved the request. My father-in-law passed away and her marital status has probate implications. This is all very complex, but I think my question is straightforward: If the court grants the annulment, will it be dated from when it was filed or when the court approves it? [link] [comments]  |
| POA for grandkids to stay at Grandparents? Posted: 03 Nov 2021 06:56 AM PDT My in laws have asked for a POA for our 4 year old when he stays over for a few days. They think one is needed in order to provide emergency medical care if something happens. I don't feel comfortable with it and don't believe hospitals would refuse emergency medical care without the guardian present. We are also just 45 minutes away if something happens. I am wondering if this is common for grandparents to have a POA when children spend the night. [link] [comments]  |
| [PA] HOA has blocked solar panels on house Posted: 03 Nov 2021 06:06 AM PDT I live in a new development and the HOA of the development has blocked me from putting solar panels on my house. As it stands today the bylaws of the community have no mention of solar panels in our bylaws. They state their plan is to bring it to the community (since it's new) to either allow or not allow in a future meeting, but I'm wondering if they are even allowed to deny me today without it being in the bylaws. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Employer gives potentially cancerous product to employees as "freebie" since they can't sell it. Posted: 03 Nov 2021 11:03 AM PDT So I started a new job here in California a few months ago and right off the bat I could tell they didn't really give a crap about there employees. They Didn't fix my pay for a whole month and a half (asked weekly why my checks are coming up -$3 an hour short) , talk employees like crap , had us work through lunch, usual work place bs. But it's all Stuff that I could put up with. Well recently they jumped the gun big time on thr packaging side and packaged a ton of product for sale before having it tested .A week or so later come to find out all that product came back with trace amounts of cancerous stuff in it and had to be disposed of per state law. Now fast forward a few more days and work has a bunch of "freebies" for everyone all of the sudden. A few of my co workers said they are giving it all away because it can't be sold due to the failed test report . I was planning on asking the boss what the deal was but I was wondering if I should contact a lawyer or something first ? This doesn't seem ethical or safe. I know they aren't selling it to us , but it still seems pretty messed up to try and earn some brownie points with your employees by potentially poisoning them. Maybe I'm over reacting . What are your thoughts? Tldr My work found out there product might cause cancer so they potentially gave it away to there employees. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2021 12:21 PM PDT My lease does specify that the landlord "reserves the right to require that all rent payments be made by certified check, money order, bank check, or other certified cash equivalent and will not accept any non-certified funds". They are telling me that I MUST pay my rent through their rent cafe platform online, along with a $3.95 processing fee every month! I have offered to bring cash, send a money wire or use my bank's bill pay and they have told me no, rent cafe is the only way I can pay rent. I am outraged that they are charging me to pay my rent. Is this legal? Is there an office in Florida that I can complain to? It is just so seedy. I asked them to pay the convenience fee if they are requiring this form of payment and of course they said no. Sleazy corporate landlord. I am bitterly regretting getting involved with these people.

| Father died, left tons of debt, don't want to be executor of estate, what do I do? Posted: 02 Nov 2021 10:02 PM PDT Edit/Update 1: I live in Kansas. One of the notices of intent to levy comes from a state he lived in before, i'm not sure if this is a final notice or not. Should I call them? I'm very worried about physical property seizure since we lived together and no one has really touched on that issue in comments. Do I have to worry about coming home to an empty house one day? Thank you for all the help so far. So my father recently passed from COVID (also gave it to me) and i'm now learning the true scope of the debt caused by his gambling addiction. He didn't have life insurance and I was basically left with some money in a joint checking account which I understand is legally mine since it's a joint account. It took me over a month to get over COVID because of the stress of all this and dealing with things both emotionally and financially. But now I am starting to receive letters about notices of intent to levy, notices of lawsuits, etc. I received a notice on my door about a court summons regarding debt from last year. There are basically no assets to sell, it's all old/junk. I assume the cars will be repossessed soon. I guess my questions are:
I would really appreciate advice on this because the stress is really not doing good things to my body. It actually made the COVID get much worse at times to the point where I thought I might end up in a hospital. That's why I had to put things off for a while until I got better but now i'm back to square one of being super stressed out again. I just want to get back to a somewhat normal life but all I see is a maze of legal questions and concerns. [link] [comments]  |
| Need advice for my parents situation (VA,USA) Posted: 03 Nov 2021 07:13 AM PDT My parents are currently dealing with a situation involving an aging friend. Many years ago, my mom met a man 10 years older than my dad at church (Let's call him "Bill".). Eventually, he started living with them 16 years ago. He has never paid rent, and there is no lease agreement in place. My parents own their home and are the only two individuals on the deed. Recently, "Bill" was diagnosed with early onset dementia, in addition to his diabetes. I don't know all the specifics of the diagnosis (but I can ask my mom for more details if needed). Shortly before, Bill signed a durable power of attorney that would allow my mom to act as his attorney-in-fact, and make medical decisions should he be incapacitated. One of the features of the POA is that it can't be rescinded if Bill is declared incompetent. (I don't have the exact language, but again, I could probably get a copy if I asked.) On the topic of diabetes, Bill does not manage his sugar levels appropriately. My mom does her best to keep him on a good diet, check his blood sugar levels, and help him with his insulin, but he resists her efforts strongly. He will often sneak food and lie about it, sometimes with his hand literally in the cookie jar. Although Bill has never signed any sort of agreement or paid any rent, he does contribute to the household by buying groceries and paying for my mom's cell phone and cable bills. Bill is a retiree that receives income from three sources: military retirement, Veterans's Affairs disability, and social security retirement. My mom has NOT been listed as a representative payee for any of these income streams. Bill has difficulty managing his finances. He frequently receives "checks" in the mail that are actually loans. He deposits these checks (thus accepting the loan) and spends the money on unknown expenditures. I believe he has defaulted on at least one of these loans. Additionally, Bill frequently purchases new cars, even though his license has been suspended because of poor eyesight. Once he gets the car home, he will spray paint them and put tape on them to make them more like NASCAR cars. (He really likes NASCAR.) Eventually, the car will be repossessed or surrendered and he will start the process over again. Bill also engages in dangerous behavior. My parents have caught him numerous times with gasoline in his room, and he has blown up or caught fire to more than one trash can. Bill is also a felon (nonviolent) that has had his rights restored, except for his gun rights. Although he can not legally possess a firearm, he frequently went to a local range to rent. My mom had to eventually tell them that he's a felon and he was blacklisted. Despite all of this, he has purchased on numerous occasions black powder pistols and rifles, which are still legal for him to own. My parents live in a suburb, and there have been instances of Bill firing these weapons in the back yard. On more than one occasion, Bill has "gone camping" only for my parents to receive a call from local law enforcement that they have Bill, he's lost, appears confused, etc. and they have to go get him. In each case, Bill's blood sugar was extremely high. He recently left without telling anyone and was reported missing. He was located when a sheriff's deputy called my parents. The other issue is that Bill has been getting violent with people. He's assaulted my brother twice in the last month, grabbing him by his throat hard enough to draw blood. He also assaulted my mother after an incident in which he repeatedly rammed into my mom's empty, parked car as he was trying to get out of the driveway. No charges were pressed in any of these cases, although police did respond to the latest incident involving my mom and the car. I know that's a lot of background information, but I have two questions: First, my mom has been managing Bill's finances by intercepting his direct deposits. They will hit his account, and she will move them to a separate account, in his name, that he doesn't know about. She uses this money to pay for his food, clothing, etc. as well as the cell phone and cable bills that he has historically paid for. She says she keeps a record of what is spend and for what purpose. I've told her this is a bad idea, because I believe it could be construed as elder financial abuse. While the POA does give her the ability to perform these transactions, it does not preclude him from executing his own transactions. This is why she can't stop him from buying cars or otherwise wasting money. I recommended pursuing conservatorship over him, but my parents don't want to spend the money on the attorney to assist with that process. Is what she is doing with the money legal? Secondly, my parents are sick and tired of Bill's antics, as well as the continued aggression and string of assaults. They want him out of the house. They have been led to believe that they are not allowed to kick him out under any circumstance, and he will be able to live there until he dies. I read the law that governs tenant/landlord relations, and it doesn't apply to situations where there is no rent being paid and no lease agreement exists. I conclude that they can evict him at any time with no notice, as he is just a guest, albeit a rather long-term one. Even if he does have some sort of tenant rights that I'm not aware of, a 30 day notice should be sufficient. What can my parents do to evict Bill? His continued presence has put a huge strain on my family mentally, emotionally, and in some cases, physically. Any advice or help is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2021 05:46 AM PDT I live in PA. I rent the upstairs (2nd floor) of a 2 unit house, with the other unit being downstairs. Yesterday i noticed 2 boxes by my neighbors back door that looked really familiar, but it seemed odd for them to be there because the mailboxes aren't at that door and FedEx has never carried them back there before. The boxes each have 4 cases of energy drinks (am a vendor). First thing i did was take a picture from my second story window because one of the boxes had the tape torn all the way off and 2 cases of drinks halfway setting out. The boxes both had labels with my significant other's (who lives with me) name and our apt # on. I was home alone with the kids (very young) and couldnt/didn't want to confront the neighbors. So i sent the pic i took to my SO and he actually called the police and came home from work so he could retrieve the drinks. But before he got home one of the people that lives downstairs starting pulling all the cases out of the boxes. My fear was he was going to start carrying them to his van parked in front of the house, because he wasn't letting anybody here know he had them... So i popped my head out the window, said hey im missing a shipment I'm expecting, can you tell me whose name is on the label? And he stands there and goes uhhhhhh i dont know. So i said ok then! please just set them down, my bf is coming to get them! Then shut my window and dialed the police. The cops will not help us. The problem goes beyond this and has been ongoing and my family don't provoke them. We are generally quiet people and our kids are 3 and 4. They are the type of people who constantly fight with each other if it's not with somebody else. The landlord has refused to address it and i actually haven't even had heat since mid Sept bc the heater is broke and he knows, so i don't expect help there. Who do i contact to address these issues? I've been charged at and threatened twice in 2 months now. The first time is recorded with audio. I did not threaten back or provoke either time, but the cops are saying i must have provoked and wont even watch my videos (which were recorded on my front lawn on security cam)! The start of these issues was me asking them to let my kids sleep at 1-4am and she caught me getting in my car one day and threatened me over it and ran after me so i called 911... I have FB messages from one of them saved, from the same night i asked them to quiet down ( I'm acquainted with the mom of the family) where she talked ridiculously to me (i blocked her directly after). I have to figure something out and have now 3 times reported actual crimes they have committed to the cops. I know i can't press charges, but is this just going to escalate until i get hurt? I am BEYOND tired of this specific cop telling me crimes i know are crimes aren't crimes or playing fortune teller and acting like he was here for things he wasn't! Should i call USPS over the mail stuff? It was delivered by FedEx, so I'm not sure if they could do anything. But I've heard the postal inspector might be able to investigate it? My boyfriend got frustrated and asked the cop if he can just come open his packages and unbox them and the cop threatened to cite him lol. Same cop threatened to cite me a few hours earlier when i was reporting this to him and he wouldn't do anything. I told him be my guest because i know how to plead not guilty. I didn't yell or threaten, just ask questions. His attitude changed a little and he offered to call my landlord (who i told him doesn't even have heat in this house). That was where this was left at last evening. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2021 10:15 AM PDT My girlfriend and I recently stayed at a hotel in Pennsylvania for one night. The morning after we discovered bedbugs on the bed, pillows, headboard, and walls. I reached out to the manager and they comped the room. They said they had their own company come in to investigate and didn't find any evidence of bedbugs, naturally. We've had to throw away a lot of the belongings we brought and buy a lot of cleaning supplies to ensure this isn't going to turn into an infestation in our own home. We did find bedbugs on our clothes and luggage and bites on our bodies when we returned home to Colorado. The manager is asking that we send the pictures and videos we took directly to them. Should I hold off and wait for their insurance to reach out to me and send them to insurance? I don't trust the hotel one little bit. [link] [comments]  |
| Grandparents estate fighting family, need advice! Posted: 03 Nov 2021 11:16 AM PDT My grandparents were suffering from dementia. My aunt sold their house and moved them to an old folks home during peak covid. I was not informed of any of this. I found out their house was sold and they were moved the week before my grandfather died from covid. Was told my grandmother was stable. Then months later informed that she passed as well, when the estate needed my address. My Aunt never even told me. I have no idea why as we had a somewhat close, trustful relationship. So I never got to talk to my grandmother for the last time. It's my aunt and my brother left surviving my grandparents. Our mother is already deceased. Next thing we get a letter the estate is entering probate. Which made no sense as my grandparents would have had a will and everything setup. My aunt filed to be administrator. Her lawyer told my brother and I there was 60k to split between us. 50% to aunt, and 50% split because our mother is deceased. They died in Massachusetts. Well because my brother informed me my aunt had been making fraudulent moves with my grandparents money. And also how she just sold their house and moved elderly people during quarantine. We did not want to let her be the estate administrator. Her lawyer repeatedly said there was no will. My brother and I contested the admin to my uncle and asked for a third party court appointed admin since we don't trust my aunt. We want to know the total money she had hidden/taken and assets. Suddenly a will appeared, appointing her executor in it as a weird power move to be admin. And my aunt is claiming that it cuts out us if our mother is deceased. Which is a bullshit interpretation of the ambiguous wording in the will. Next thing I know we get a settlement email. Now offering us 80k each, out of the blue. Which is much more than the original 60k we were supposed to split through normal probate, as they said. So I don't understand if my aunt is afraid she will get in trouble. But, threatening that if we don't appoint her admin we will get nothing. Only if we settle and appoint her admin of the estate. wtf? Wouldn't offering us more than the initial estate split amount be admission of fraudulent activity? Does anyone maybe understand what my aunt is up to? I figure someone that knows these situations probably knows what she's trying to get away with, or somewhat explain her actions. I'm going to be getting a lawyer at this point. But, could really use some experienced advice or input. [link] [comments]  |
| Ex boyfriend wants to take me to civil court, but will it work? Posted: 03 Nov 2021 03:43 AM PDT I live in Texas. I started dating this guy in 2017. I started med school in 2019. He and his family offered to cover my half of our living expenses while I completed my program. Him, his mother, his grandmother, and I met for lunch and went over some numbers. I was capable of covering my own personal bills and expenses (car payment, car insurance, health insurance, gas, and half of groceries). Of the expenses we shared as a couple/household (rent, utilities, gas, internet) my half was approximately 700 a month, which is what they agreed to front me while in school. $700 exactly.No specific time frame was determined as to how long I had to pay them back. No document was written up. I would later learn from him that the money pool they had been dipping into to help our household would eventually become his inheritance, once his grandmother passes. They would venmo him 700 a month; they never sent money directly to me. So we would pay our joint bills using his account/card, but all the accounts were in my name (with the exception of rent, because both our names were on the lease). May/June 2020 I find out he had been cheating on me during our entire 3.5 year relationship. So I moved out. This was 9 months in to our verbal agreement. He continued to live there until the lease ended in February 2021. They continued to send him money to cover my half even in my absence.Neither party can agree on when the money actually started coming in; they claim it began August 2019 (I disagree). *If* August was indeed the start, then the total time would be 17 months of financial assistance. Recently, he has started to contact me about when I could start making re-payments to his family. And if I don't acknowledge the agreement casually like he'd prefer (few hundred here and there), he and his family with take me to civil court. He's given me a rough estimate of everything they've paid for on my behalf. $13,235But 17 months of 700 is $11,900. If the monthly expenses were more than the 700 we previously agreed upon, I was not notified or asked to pay the difference each month. I spent the night recovering all the payment confirmations and statements I could, and found that his total is very close to what I calculated. Again, nothing was in writing. When I ask him about the situation now he still confirms that it was 700 a month that was being sent, even when the math suggests otherwise. It has been 2 years since the beginning of the agreement so it's hard to remember the details of what we said that afternoon we discussed it. Was this verbal agreement legally binding? Does not having the specific terms in writing void my obligation to pay them back? Do I even have an obligation because nothing was put in writing at all? Are there statutes of limitations for myself as a co-tenant bailing on our joint lease agreement? I'm just confused and concerned as to if he can make a case from this and what I can do about it.

| Company not honoring agreed upon overtime pay Posted: 03 Nov 2021 09:11 AM PDT I'm based in CA. I recently was hired onto a company and was sent a docusign stating that my hourly base amount is $16.50 with a shift differential of $3.00; making my hourly Regular pay $19.50 and my hourly overtime pay rate is $29.25. Both the company and I agreed and signed off on this. Ever since I started I've never received $29.25 for any of the hours I worked overtime. HR is stating that there was an error in the docusign due to it being a "template" and my shift differential is not included when calculating overtime. Ca.Government states: "If you are paid on an hourly basis, that amount, including among other things, shift differentials and the per hour value of any non-hourly compensation the employee has earned, is the regular rate of pay." Any advice on how I should proceed? [link] [comments]  |
| Managers clocking us out but keep making us work? Posted: 03 Nov 2021 10:13 AM PDT I'm in Pennsylvania, US I am a minimum wage employee at my local Auntie Anne's for some spending money. She has been clocking us out anywhere from a 30 minutes to an hour prior to our shifts ending, and instead of letting us leave she makes us continue to work. I have asked other employees about this, and apparently they were told BY MANAGEMENT that it states in our contracts that they are allowed to do this. It feels illegal to me. Even if it was in our contracts, is this legal to do? They are essentially not paying us for the 30 minutes to an hour we work. She did this to me the other day. I ended up leaving when she clocked me out. I was written up the following day for leaving when the job wasn't complete. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2021 11:42 AM PDT What a nightmare. I've only had this car for six weeks. I bought it at a Honda/Acura dealership that sells a variety of used cars (mine is a Subaru). I took it to the dealership for a simple oil change. When I picked up my car, it drove horribly: sudden high RPMs, strange noises, jerking, erratic gear shifting, stalling, shaking, etc. I immediately brought it back to have it looked at. The dealership checked it out and told me that they accidentally drained my transmission fluid but replaced it. I was upset, surprised, and confused, but they assured me all was well. After leaving there (again), I noticed that my car was still having issues. I decided to bring it to my trusted local mechanic to give it a look-over. On my way there, my check engine light came on and flashed "AT OIL TEMP." I instantly pulled over and called a tow truck. I picked up a rental car as I waited, and two and a half hours later my car was towed back to the dealership. Before continuing: please note that I hardly know anything about cars, so my description below might not be the best or use the right terminology. I appreciate any clarification/correction. When I went to pick it up (now for the third time), a service technician explained that the differential and automatic transmission fluid reservoirs are connected, so all the fluid drained at the same time. However, apparently the technician who drained it only filled the differential opening and not the ATF opening (despite being connected, they're located in two different spots). Since there was not enough total fluid, the temperature got too high and triggered the "AT OIL TEMP" warning. I had driven roughly 15 miles in total at this point. After this explanation, I was sent a report that stated something entirely different than what I was initially told by the technician. The report said that not only had they accidentally drained the transmission fluid, but they replaced it with the WRONG fluid. They have not yet told me which "wrong fluid" this was. After doing some research (again, I'm not a "car person"), this seems like a horrific mistake that could possibly cause severe long-term issues and complete transmission failure. I have no way of knowing what potential damage might have already been done or if it could even be reversed. I do not have a warranty/service agreement on this vehicle, but the dealership said it will offer me a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty (however, the warranty details have not been specified yet). They also said they'd comp my rental car fees (the tow was covered by my insurance). I left the service manager a voicemail today and filed a formal complaint with the Honda corporate office. I am unsure how to proceed. I think I will reach out to the general manager of the dealership and am debating asking them to pay to have it inspected at a Subaru dealership, reporting them to the BBB, and/or getting a lawyer. I'm scared and mad as hell. If I need a new transmission, my car will be totaled since it's worth less than the cost and labor needed to replace it. Ugh. This sucks so much. Any advice is greatly, greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| My employer deducts my pay for breaks regardless of whether or not I've taken them Posted: 02 Nov 2021 09:19 PM PDT So I work at a fast food place, and lately we've been understaffed so I haven't been able to take my breaks, which I could really use because I work 6-8 hour shifts but I noticed my pay is reduced by the same amount as when I did take breaks. I spoke with my coworkers about it and they know. They say that although they hate it, they just accept it. To me it just doesn't feel right, and I was wondering what the legality of this is, and if after I speak to my manager about it and nothing changes, what can I do (besides quit)? EDIT: I'm in British Columbia, Canada [link] [comments]  |
