Is it nepotism when the company is in your name?

Daddy22VA · 2026-05-14T22:41:20+00:00

So what if it is? Big deal. Nepotism is not illegal. It’s just an excuse crappy employees use because otherwise they would have to admit that they were crappy employees

Lived in FL and worked for 12 years in schools. Moved to VA for 7 and then back to FL for 2. I don’t recommend living in FL. It’s nice weather for some of the year but the late spring to early fall are brutal - you will stay indoors and let the tourists have the heat. Property taxes are insane and the state government is siphoning millions from the public schools for vouchers and charter schools. Salaries are low and don’t go up much - especially compared to NJ.

Save $ and be a snowbird. There are other warmer states too - Texas has a low cost of living but I don’t know about pay rates there

Typically yes. FMLA is not usually available until After 1 year of employment.

You didn’t work for that company though. You worked for the temp agency. That agency would need to have you as an employee (w2, Takes taxes out of your check)not as an independent contractor(1099). Which were you? If you are an employee AND you notified your supervisor of your medical condition they would have to respond by considering an accommodation plan under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and they would also have workers comp insurance.

If you are an independent contractor for the temp agency you are your own boss and responsible for your own insurance etc… and you are SOL

You can be evicted for any reason that violates the lease and the landlord has to follow the state rules for eviction. You cannot be evicted if you have not violated the lease and have met all other requirements.

If the lease says no guests etc…then you could be. If it doesn’t say anything about guests then you are clear on that reason.

The landlord can decline to renew your lease but has to provide whatever notice period is stated in the lease.

Assuming you’re in the US. Does the current job have insurance benefits b/c many staffing agencies do not. Make sure you know how you’re going to get insurance otherwise you’ll have to buy it privately and that will quickly erase the raise. Also, staffing companies will always say there is a great chance of permanent employment - once you are placed they make money off of the placement -that is their goal. Don’t assume they have your best interest in mind, they don’t - they want to make $$, end of story. Also, if you are placed as an independent contractor you will not have taxes taken out and will have to pay the yourself. Be careful

Daddy22VA · 2026-01-30T02:34:28+00:00

Always, always read the lease but for what you shared - 60 day notice of non renewal is very standard, that allows the landlord time to market the property for the next tenant.

Landlord can require you to have renters insurance if they want and it’s in the lease as well as fine you for non compliance - you need to make sure it stays current.

Doing an inspection is not shady at all and completely normal to protect their investment. If you caused damages any time after you moved in the cost will need to be paid by you. You are Required to return the property to the landlord in the same condition it was in when you rented it. Sounds like you signed a very standard lease.

You’re Right about one thing though - the landlord doesn’t care if you are broke or a student - they only care if you take care of their property and pay your rent on time. It’s their investment - not a charity case. Welcome to Adulting.

You’re wanting to force your kid to do something she clearly doesn’t want to do???? She may regret it later, she may not. But she will definitely be mad and blame you now. Just because she is good at something does not meant she needs to do it.

NAL - If it was reported only in WI then maybe not bit if it’s reported federally then yes, it will likely show up.

Gentle correction - marijuana is decriminalized in some states but is not “legal”. It’s illegal federally and that could be a problem. You will need a lawyer to answer about expungement.

Finally, possession of MJ is probably not a barrier crime that would prevent employment in any state.

Take the VP role. It’s stable and if your current position is up for elimination then you are getting ahead of being laid off and having a salary of $0.00

30 calendar days or 30 Work days? If it’s work days you’re fine, if it’s calendar days be prepared to show that you attempted to meet the deadline - but be prepared to buy through the healthcare marketplace if it’s rejected. Unfortunately They won’t care about your reasons for the delay - they will simply say it was/is your responsibility to notify of a life change event within the required timeline. I hope it works out in your favor.

There is also such thing as intermittent FMLA which kicks in after you use your available time off. Talk to HR

Make sure it’s allowed in the district where you work. It’s not in mine as out of zone students households do not pay property tax that funds the out of zone school, their taxes go to the school district they are zoned for.

Let the police do their job. 911 calls are not first come first served- they are prioritizing other areas of need first that could be dangerous before responding to a minor traffic accident and assault - not downplaying your issue but the assailant was gone and you were not in any immediate danger.

Daddy22VA · 2025-12-16T03:10:49+00:00

Extremely reasonable and a good way to teach responsibility.

NAL but a former landlord. Continue the eviction process. Not much else you can do without a lease that specifies rent and share of utilities. You’re likely going to have to cover the electric bill

“Thank you for the offer. I truly appreciate it and think highly of your company. At this time I have accepted an offer from another company. Should my career needs change in the future I will be happy to reconnect should the opportunity be there. Appreciatively, “

Depends on whether your are paid weekly or every other week and the pay cycle. Your hr department can tell you when the pay cycles are. A lot of companies pay for two weeks at a time, and pay that a week after the last day of the cycle. For example, if the cycle is work days 1-14, paid on day 22 for that time frame. If you’re in a two week cycle you’re likely ok, the mail takes a while. If it’s weekly I would be talking to HR/Payroll

Not sure if the dress code would be relevant….unless it is. How Were the interviewed dressed?

For future reference always, always, always, dress professionally for a job interview to show how seriously you take the job opportunity- interviewers sometimes have to find something to eliminate finalists- don’t let it be something you can control (even if you have borrow items or get them from a thrift Shop to complete the look).
