My general rule is to give the amount of notice that you think they'll give you if they decide it's not working out. This number is generally zero.

if my attorney told me im going to be rich, and he's going to be rich, and he's going to name a boat after me, would that be something unsafe to post online?

More to the point, can you sue him for breach of contract if he instead names the boat after his mistress?

Maybe if you have a poo poo job working retail or something don't give notice but if you work a professional job in a particular industry/region, you shouldn't burn bridges like that. The world has a habit of being very, very small. E.G. I just changed jobs and gave a month notice (which was too much, 2 weeks would've been fine). As luck would have it the person interviewing me for my new job, used to work at a supplier I'd been to many times (which was ~1500 miles away) and we knew a lot of the same people. If I had just walked out, when he called them to ask about me they would've said, the rear end in a top hat just left, don't hire him. Instead I got an offer right away.

Otherwise, you look at what's happened to other people who have put in their notice, and how they were treated. Most jobs aren't going to let you wait a month or two before you start, and two weeks is enough that anyone getting mad at you for only giving two weeks is being a loving rear end in a top hat.

If you're an engineer in a cube farm and give a month prepare for 30 continuous days for "HAY SHORT TIMER", "WHENS YOUR LAST DAY?". I got asked when my last day was no less than 500 times.

Last firm I left I gave 30 days to transition cases and I was basically done in 10. I hung around, came in late, took 2 hour lunches. On like the 21st day one of the managing partners said to me “Do you have any work to do? Your hours are low, did you need to stay 30 days?” And I said “I don’t know, I asked you how much time you wanted from me and you said 30 days but I can leave now if you want,” and he said no that’s okay. I don’t think I went back in again except to get my personal stuff and the files I was taking with me. They paid me through the 30 days lol.

I'm guessing our phone boy isn't very savvy, since he didn't realize he can "just quit." I'm also guessing the lawyer has told him he'll win big, but it's gonna end up sad.

He's really young. He'll learn. My guess is that he'll probably be able to get unemployment, though, because it's California and you can get unemployment if you quit because of your employer's fuckery.

If I went to probate court over 5 years ago when processing my deceased mother's will/estate, does the court keep a copy of that probated will as some sort of record that I could access? I no longer have all of that paperwork as it was a very distressing time in my life, but I've discovered that my state (TX) has "unclaimed property" in my mother's name from her old cell phone account. In order to claim it I have to provide the probated will OR file some affidavit of heirship if there never was a probated will (but there was). Do I have any sort of course of action here or will that $45 just sit in the unclaimed property account forever because no one else can claim it?

Doesn't hurt to call and ask, different states keep probate records for different periods of time. If something sits in unclaimed property long enough it escheats to the state.

Thanks. The only thing I could find by google was a "Register of Actions" for the case but no will. I'll call up. Update: I was able to get everything via phone/email (I don't live in the area), at the cost of $1 per page. Am very relieved it was so easy!

When I was like 20 I was desperate and got a job at McDonald's. I went in for two hours of doing interactive training videos that would insult a fourth grader's intelligence, then broke my hand in an accident at home that night and by the time it healed I'd found a better job. Well that's the story of my two hour McDonald's career. I didn't even go in to pick up my $13.87 paycheck.

In Texas probate documents are held by the county clerk. Call the county clerk of the county where you probated the will. If you have the cause number (it will be on the top front page of any court document you still have) it will be easier. Otherwise, the county clerk can look it up by the name of the decedent.

Oooh ooh I have a question for the thread rather than just reading and posting (badly) in it! I did a degree through my previous employer's (Big Company) tuition reimbursement program. This degree program was portrayed by Big Company as a great thing for Big Company employees. Many execs at Big Company had the exact degree they were pushing. I did it and Big Company paid out $30k over 3 years for it but I left Big Company. The terms of repayment are repay in full 18 months from the start date of the class until the leave date. $15k of the $30k were within that time frame. When I gave notice, they sent me an email to my corporate email account demanding $17k. I replied via email that I am disputing the amount and demanded an accounting of that total and signatures proving I owed that much. The did not reply prior to me leaving the company. Two months after leaving they sent me the same letter (not certified mail) they emailed before demanding $17k within 30 days. Thoughts on what to do? I am thinking a few things such as reply offering to pay a prorated amount, disputing, etc. Any options I'm not considering? Bonus info: Currently my role in this market is in very high demand and my new employer offers referral bonuses. I could easily collect >$17k in referral bonuses if I put some effort into it as I am very well connected with Big Company's employees still. Is saying in my offer to settle for a prorated amount how I didn't do this because I still like Big Company and wont do it if they agree to a lower amount going to haunt me?

You don’t want legal advice, you want don’t-be-a-douche advice. So here it is: don’t be a douche. Pay your debts. Don’t threaten people that put you through school with poaching all their employees so you can collect a referral bonus to pay your debts.

I'd like legal information or thoughts on the matter. I could make a decent case about Big Company being douches but I won't. EDIT: And I definitely don't want to pay them more than I estimate they could claim that I owe. CarForumPoster fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Jun 29, 2018 |
