No they're just soliciting. Did you fill out a form on a "get an attorney" website? Did you file for unemployment yet? Did you quit in January? How do you feel about the sovereignty of the United States government?

I did fill out a form, I have not filed for unemployment, I resigned 3 days ago, my final day landing on the 2nd. I don't know how to answer the last question.

How well documented were the reasons behind your resignation? Do you have any audio or documented proof of constructed termination?

I'm not a lawyer, but I did get burned really bad about 5 years ago when I quit a job because of an rear end in a top hat plant manager and could collect unemployment at all because it was deemed as a voluntary resignation. Then again I live in South Carolina, but still you're probably going to be fighting an uphill battle unless you have some pretty concrete proof of hostile work environment.

But Right To Work really just protects worker's rights! Who wants to be forced to pay money to a corrupt union who only drives wages down and makes it tougher for companies to compete.

I mean poo poo I learned all this during my corporate mandated orientation when I worked at Staples in 2008.

Don't confuse "at will employment" with "right to work" though. At will means you can get fired without cause for almost any reason. There are a few discriminatory exclusions to the rule, of course, but that's the general rule.

Right to work means you cannot be compelled to join a union or pay union dues. This destroys union funding and makes them effectively powerless.

Tell me about disclosures when buying my house. My new house basement has a few major spots where water comes in, in one spot after a few days of rain it started coming in as fast as the rain poured. The disclosure states that "There had been minimal flooding. It was sealed and has not reoccurred." Turns out they did it themselves with some paint on poo poo. It's clear that the main source of the flooding is not something that can just be painted over, because it's an old coal room and seriously degraded in spots. I feel like they were dishonest. Clearly nothing was sealed if poo poo is coming in on three sides. How are my chances if I take them to court about this? I don't have an estimate on getting this done right yet.

Just that it needs graded. Which will help in some parts. And which I'm imagining they knew. I'm gonna find the basement company that gave those fuckers an estimate.

I went back down and started looking at what was "sealed". I'm pretty sure they slapped sealant directly onto dirty concrete.

Not a lawyer! Just been to law school and work in the field! I find the idea of self representing in small claims pretty titillating though, i should probably take the bar.

I actually have another unrelated legal question. My wife's landlady went into her apartment early, she's paid for the month and her lease is up the 27th, and her employees took a bunch of my wife's poo poo and cleaned which she was planning to do. A laptop, an xbox 360 which was fine but the landlady is now describing as broken, and cleaning supplies. The landlady is trying to get it back to her, but my wife is furious. They also rented out her apartment for a week next week, presumably for more than the amount they intend to reimburse my wife for the rent she paid.

Does she have any recourse for this bullshit if she does get the stuff back? Is she entitled to the full money they receive from the week's tenant? I feel like she is. Can they take the cleaning they did out of her security deposit? We don't know if they'll try but they weren't gonna have to.

They did a super half assed job covering it up. They disclosed it as though they had had the problem correctly fixed. They definitely knew about it.

You should go take the bar so you stop having weird rear end problems. I noticed that when I got a decent paying job and started hanging out with people with decent paying jobs I stopped having stupid bullshit invade my life.

Like I don't even get pulled over anymore...I was pulled over about 20 times between 2007 and 2009. I drive the same. Just never get pulled over.

I dont have slum lords or people I am renting a room from loving with me either. It is nice.

Yes, he can.

He's being more passive-aggressive about it but it's super common when an employee gives 2 weeks notice for the company to respond by immediately escorting them off the premises.
