SMH Bluesy, does this belong on "idiot people news" down the street?

Okay, I'll try. What SHOULD your lawyer have done? In an ideal world where he did everything exactly the way you think he should have, what actions would have been taken?

I work in the Benefits office of my employer. Until quite recently we retained the beneficiary records of our employer-sponsored life insurance. This was several years ago and in a different state but for what it's worth. I took a call one day from an employee asking for a life insurance...

Yes. That's what I meant, but you said it better.

Let's be clear what you are asking. This is what I think you want to know. Betty has a child, Janie. Betty's boyfriend is Bob. You want to know if Bob can adopt Janie without marrying Betty, and then Betty and Bob together be parents to Janie? Is that right? If not, what is?

One of my favorite actors.

Types of things HR will investigate: How did this happen? Could you have avoided it? Who heard it? How? Does it violate any school policy? How can something of the sort be avoided in the future? Has the same thing happened to any other teacher and if so, how was it handled then? Does it warrant...

I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds as if you need an attorney, but you can't find one here. Your state Bar Association, your local Legal Aide or any law schools in your area should be able to find you some names to call. And I do mean call, not email.

I don't even know how to respond to that, so I won't try. I should have known better than to respond to the obvious bait. Fake news, indeed.

Of course it still exists today. So does the Democratic party. And yes, it began as a Democratic arm. That is historical fact. However, if CURRENT accounts are not associating the KKK with the CURRENT Democratic party, it's because TODAY the two are not linked except in that historical...

And what is that if not a lie? Of course they will. Do you think they have to take your word for it? Same answer.

Come on, Army, you're smarter than that. Are you really going to try to claim that the Democratic Party as it stands today hasn't changed since the KKK was founded more than a century and a half ago? Or that the Democratic party today has the same values as the KKK does today? Give me a break...

You need to get your head around this. Based on your own description of the events, the dentist was not negligent. He did not commit any kind of malpractice. He does not owe you a penny. You, on the other hand, contributed to your own problems by insisting on the treatment you wanted instead...

You can seek legal advice if it will make you feel better. But the fact remains that under the law, you are entitled to up to 12 weeks of protected medical leave per 12 month period, and once that 12 weeks has expired it is perfectly legal for an employer to let you go,regardless of whether you...

You refused the treatment he advised. You failed to disclose to him relevant medical issues. You failed to go back in to his office when advised to do so (there is NO WAY any reputable dentist or doctor is going to prescribe antibiotics over the phone without an in-person visit).You signed all...

In every state in the US except for Montana, and sometimes even including Montana, employers do not need "good cause" to fire. They can fire you because the day of the week ends in Y. The only reason for which they cannot fire you is for a reason prohibited by law. Nothing in your (lengthy)...

I'm the opposite. I'm a Northern girl and start melting round about Philadelphia. DH would like Arizona but I've been there in November and couldn't tolerate it - July would kill me.

We're debating between NH and Maine.

You are not obligated to sign anything. Signing or not signing will make no difference. You're still fired and the unemployment office will still know why you were fired. If your boyfriend's father thinks that by refusing to sign an acknowledgement it will protect your unemployment, he is wrong.
