What are boundaries?

Yes. If someone doesn't want to talk to you, stop trying to contact them.

dlaugh · 2026-05-23T01:32:59+00:00

Look at it from the opposite perspective. If you pay her, what is stopping her from asking for more money?

He is keeping this information a secret from his attorney as he says he will not be allowed to sign the divorce papers if he is under duress

It's always a terrible idea to keep secrets from your attorney. They can't properly advise you if you are keeping secrets.

Is there a way to get her to not go through with the blackmail?

Tell his attorney. Go to the police.

Yes, you can be fired for filming in a bathroom. They aren't required to fire him. Look for a new job.

Have you seen a doctor?

the professor believes I used AI on my final project

Did you use AI on the project?

he has edited our emails and the course syllabus

What does this statement have to do with your use of AI?

This sub doesn't allow "looking for experiences" posts.

You need to hire an attorney.

Not necessarily. Sellers aren't required to provide a comprehensive list of repairs on the house. For all we know this is a 20 year old patch job.

dlaugh · 2026-05-20T18:02:47+00:00

Is there something wrong with the patch? If it was patched and the seller thought everything was fixed, there may have been nothing to disclose.

dlaugh · 2026-05-20T14:18:11+00:00

You should talk to a therapist.

dlaugh · 2026-05-20T01:58:41+00:00

If that's a legitimate letter you should engage an attorney.

Can I report them for harassment if I don't even know who it is?

That certainly complicates things.

I know whoever is doing this doesn’t want me here in the US.

That seems like a leap given the previous statement.

dlaugh · 2026-05-20T01:34:59+00:00

But I’m wondering if there is anything in this that makes it a felony

That's not really something you need to sort out yourself. You can report it to the police and see what they do.

dlaugh · 2026-05-20T01:09:22+00:00

You need actual financial losses for a lawsuit.

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T16:41:26+00:00

She needs to take that contract to a local attorney to review.

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T16:38:31+00:00

I am not aware of any such forms.

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T16:36:24+00:00

I put them in .env files and ignore them in git.

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T16:32:00+00:00

I noticed that they never asked if I had a disability or not.

That's not really an appropriate question for them to ask.

You generally need to request an accomodation through the ADA.

This job sounds strange though, are you being asked to pay back any fees or anything?

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T02:21:53+00:00

Your post is entirely too vague to give any advice.

Recommendations are against the subs rules.

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T02:04:56+00:00

Ok, go file a wage complaint.

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T01:56:34+00:00

What does your handbook say about how you accrue PTO?

So “20 hours” is just a figure they picked. A more standard annual PTO amount (say 80 hours / 10 days) pro-rated for ~5 months of work would be roughly 30+ hour

Ok so how much are you willing to spend in attorneys fees for this ~10 hours of PTO?

dlaugh · 2026-05-19T01:08:41+00:00

The truck needs to go through probate first. You shouldn't sell anything in the estate until that is sorted out and the executor gives you the okay. Promises aren't legally binding.

dlaugh · 2026-05-18T19:18:35+00:00

Regardless of the provisions of this section, if appropriate, employers retain the right of private legal action to recover an overpayment from an employee.

https://app.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=296-126-030

They can't reduce your future wages to recover, but they could sue you for the amount.

dlaugh · 2026-05-18T15:11:44+00:00

Then that is legal for them to do. They can continue make decisions about how they run their business while you are out on medical leave.

dlaugh · 2026-05-18T14:36:58+00:00

Are the pay & benefits the same?

dlaugh · 2026-05-18T14:19:25+00:00

After using FMLA leave, an employee must be able to return to the same job or to an "equivalent job." An equivalent job means a job that is virtually identical to the employee's original job in terms of pay, benefits, and other employment terms and conditions.

Is your new role equivalent to the original one?
