I agree that this appears to have been handled badly, but not illegally. Your recourse is to apply for unemployment and look for a new job.

Because you were there such a short time FMLA does not apply, so that kind of protection is off the table. How often does this kind of flare up happen? I'm not asking you to carve anything in stone, but on an average, how much time due to this condition would you likely miss in, say, a six...

Adoption is also an option and one that far too few people consider.

How long have you worked for this company? Approximately how many employees do they have within 75 miles of your location? In the last 12 months, did you work a minimum of 1,250 hours for this employer? Other than absences, in what way (if any) does this condition affect your ability to do the...

I think this thread has run its course

What the two posters above me said. And I am on the DNC list as well. And if, by some quirk or freak of nature, a call does get through? I don't do business with cold callers. Period.

Locked at the request of the OP.

Being eligible for something and being guaranteed it are not the same thing.

I was suggesting that the clinic might be able to help you prepare your case, not take it for free. They're students; they're not licensed to practice law yet. But if you're determined that's it's got to be all or nothing; either a lawyer taking your case pro bono or risking it all to do it...

There must be many law schools in the San Francisco area, and many law schools offer "clinics" where third-year law students, under the guidance of their professors, provide free or low cost consultations. You might want to check that option out.

Unless Texas has some rules that are very different from the rest of the US, severance will not cause your UI to be denied outright. From what Jack has posted it is likely that it may cause your benefits to be delayed but only by the length of time the severance covers.

My father needed a liver transplant over 20 years ago. He'd acquired Hep C from some tainted food when he was overseas and was asymptomatic until the damage was too serious to be corrected. He was a rare blood type and while we waited for a donor of the appropriate type to be available, it got...

Your options are to either accept the doctors' recommendations or keep looking until you find a doctor who will allow you to dictate your brother's treatment. There are no steps you can take and no laws you can invoke that will force the doctor(s) to treat your brother the way you think he...

She's posting from Illinois, if that matters. But since it's a Federal hire, I agree that in this case the state is irrelevant.

Or who has troubles that have nothing to do with you and you're taking personally what is unrelated to you at all.

I have a reason for asking this and it is not to rebut what you're saying. How do you KNOW that she was in the personnel files and what pictures she took?

I may not be a gun person but even I think that's funny.

Other than telling you to contact the appropriate authorities, there is really nothing a message board can do to help you. Perhaps your best bet would be to take your proofs to local counsel and see what legal options s/he might be able to provide.

No. You could not.

Just to let you know, you're going to find a lot of the same responders here as on the other board. Not all; you will find some who only respond on one or the other. But there's a lot of overlap. In order to take any kind of legal action, you not only need proof that the roommate is doing what...
