I know this was asked already but I can't find it, what's the course of action when your company falsely claims your job is vital, despite not actually being classified as vital?

Also, can companies really force you to use sick time when the company is shut down?

I guess to be let go or if they're nice, laid off?

No, being able to use sick time when the company is shut is a courtesy to keep you paid when you're not working and likely, willing, and able to come back to work when they reopen. I'm sure they would let you take unpaid leave instead.

Or maybe it's a grumpy morning or the blazargh flu is going around.

What, if any, grounds would the Trump administration have here? Does a cease and desist carry any weight of law or is it basically "stop doing XYZ or we'll sue"? If TV stations do not pull the ad, what grounds would there be for a lawsuit, if any?

TAA (Texas Apartment Association) standard lease says this about move-out notice

TAA lease Par. 36.1 (b) posted:

Your move-out notice must be in writing. An oral move-out notice will not be accepted and will not terminate your Lease.

If your leasing office is closed due to coronavirus, is an email notification considered "in writing" or would you have to go to the post office and send a letter with a return receipt? Or video yourself with a time/datestamp sliding notice under the door? Or both?

My father in-law is an 83-year-old widower. His live-in girlfriend of many years just found out she’s got multiple tumors on her liver and we suspect its cancer and probably fatal. He owns his house outright and they get by on their two social security checks only. When his girlfriend passes, he’s not going to be able to live on his own because of both his health and losing half his income.

My daughter and her husband own a house about an hour away, and have offered to sell their house, buy the house from my father in-law, and let him live their rent free. However, the place needs a lot of work, and I doubt the septic system and well would pass inspection.

My questions:
1) If they do this housing transaction and then my father in-law ends up in a Nursing home, can Medicaid go after my daughter for the house because he can’t afford the costs? I am aware of some rules involving irrevocable trusts and how they must be established years ahead of time so to protect assets.

2) Is there a better way to do this?

An email is likely valid if it just says in writing, and does not specify a method of delivery, and if they generally accept and respond to emails at a specific email address. I’ve done it by email and by text message in Texas under the standard residential lease that 90% of them use. However, you should do it in multiple ways to be sure, so CMRRR is a good idea because it gives you proof of service. The cost of it is certainly less than your landlord trying to screw you. Depending on how you pay rent, I’d include notice with it as well. The more the better.

And have them figure out how to put your FIL’s assets in something protected like a trust. You are going to have to consider whether liquidating your FIL’s assets now is going to be better long term. You also need things like wills, DNRs, etc.

I accidentally assaulted someone at the park today with my Hydroflask.

I was at my local park today. It was starting to get dark and so I started making my way back to my car. I had my AirPods in with music playing while carrying my phone and keys in my left hand and my Hydroflask in my right. For those who do not know, a Hydroflask is a brand that makes reusable metal water bottles. Anyways, I was almost to my car when I heard someone yell something that I couldn’t make out since my music was playing and felt someone wrap their hand around my wrist.

I panicked and in my panic I swung my Hydroflask and hit a young man in who looked to be about in his mid twenties (not his real name of course). My bottle water was almost completely filled and had a good amount of weight to it. The blow hit him just above the eyebrow and the wound began gushing blood.

He screamed and starting cursing at me calling me several expletives and said he “just wanted to ask for my number”. I ran to my car and he told me to stop as he was going to call the police. The police came and took both our statements as to what happened. I was not arrested but now the guy is telling me he is going to sue me for his medical bills.

I feel this was self defense as I am 5’3, 120 pounds and this guy is was easily about 5’9 and 150 pounds. However, I understand that what I “feel” is not going to help me in court. So does this guy have a case? I don’t know if I should hire a lawyer or what the next step is. I would greatly appreciate any advice as to what to do now.

Criminal law folks, what say ye? IANAL but this looks defensible to me.

1. Story is incoherent.

3. loving lol suing over that poo poo at all

4. She should probably insist the guy be charged for assault (or battery? whichever one you americans call the you-can't-touch-anyone-without-consent statute).

5. I'm not american and none of what I wrote probably applies because lol america.

The workplace advice blog Ask a Manager just posted a state-by-state breakdown of who you can contact that's supposed to be enforcing the current lockdown orders on employers. I can't speak to whether the relevant authority will actually do anything where you happen to live, but if you wanna try calling someone, you can probably find out who to call.
