What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Off Topic Just read a funny/sad story about discrimination in the UK that reminded me of why this board is focused on US law only and how you can't just assume other country laws would be similar. Employer told they can't advertise for 'reliable'...

Not a question, just a humorous story to relate. Here in Indiana, we had a trio of nobel laureates who were driving in a vehicle with an active meth lab. It seems that the head scientist of the group didn't like how quickly the chemicals in the jar were reacting, so he picked it up and started...

Depends on your contract and when it expires or expired. If it is at all like 99% of the contracts out there, then yes, you owe a commission. If you wanted exclusions for certain buyers, they should have been included when you wrote the contract. If you wanted a termination clause for...

The "I'm wearing someone else's pants" defense seems a common thread among drug abusers. I was wondering if any current or former police officers on this board could share how oftern they see this. Although I am a guy (and girls may exchange garments more often), I can't recall ever borrowing...

Was any of this in writing? Did anyone witness your termination? Are you due any other severance (vacation pay, etc)? If a sherrif comes to your door, tell him that it is a contract dispute and that the laptop was given as part of your severance package and is not in your home right now. The...
