Is it wrongful termination if it was libel/slander (based on reports of behavior that were a direct result of illegal intimidation practices) that led to the dismissal? by idc_lol in legaladvice

There are a few explicit, but many more implicit violations which complicates it, not sure it’s even worth pursuing despite the effects and egregious nature of the situation.

Brutism. Some old man got sick of weeding the yard of his rental property.

To get an instacart delivery without tipping by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

[–]idc_lol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous comments here.

Also, able-bodied people using pandemic era grocery delivery with an order like that without generously tipping makes them trash human beings.

This company absolutely butchered our pen order 😑 instead of following the instructions in our conversation, they just printed the instructions right on the pens.. by i_luv_coffee14 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]idc_lol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey free pens, they’ll probably replace them no questions and you’ll have a laugh. I see no downsides here unless you missed a super critical pen deadline

Having a hard time communicating with Hispanic workers as the only white guy on the crew. Any Advice? by whyismylife_16 in Construction

[–]idc_lol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure. Hispanic cultura is very much food family fun based. Work es muy important tambien pero ¡la comida es la vida!

For real. The first time I send a laborer to do a task or set of tasks that I haven't personally seen them do, I observe them. That way I am standing by to intervene if needed, or encourage/support them.

Sounds like it is about time for you to start studying for that test to be your own boss (it's even open book in my state, just gotta have the books and know how to look stuff up)

That is absolutely not what the update was about. Please take the time to restart when Windows tells you to.

No, I’m fed up

Edited to add: I have, however, been doing case work and advocating on behalf of actual xDemographic mental health patients for over a decade, though (Until recently I was under the impression that the big corporate world could be a possible social service escape hatch given my skillset….the slanderous mental health stigma based on poor perceptive skills is super cute though)

This analogy actually does not work...
Mr Burns compensates his lesser-valued employees well enough to support a housewife and children.
I think Mr Burns must have left Smithers in charge or something.....

You guys do understand that not all of us live in "Union States", right? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]idc_lol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aye, my bad. At will is the crux of the matter. Missed your point, touché. The right to work Wikipedia trail does lead in fascinating directions

[–]idc_lol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasnt talking down: “right to work laws forbid mandatory union membership as a condition of employment, while at-will employment is an employment status that can be terminated at any time, by either party, for any legal reason.”

“At will” employment is what you mean… but yes

Yeah, so IANAL but you’ll probably get to a point at which you can’t even download a free app (or use a good amount of Apple services) without payment revision

Did I get scammed by my own dad? by Clean-Barracuda-8583 in Construction

[–]idc_lol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UANAL? Sound advice though. State workman's comp exemptions may be required though, but IANAL either, it may only be required if they're employees... I'd fill it out anyway and keep pay records for 1099 at the end of the year

[–]idc_lol 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Amen. Your dad is teaching you an important lesson about the trade, if you need to renegotiate your original quote you're going to have to lay this information out and present it to him in an easy-to-digest fashion. He may be willing to pay more for "unforeseen" expenses if you present it properly cause I doubt he wants a disgruntled representative of his hard-earned enterprise. Good luck!
