I have a staff member who I worked with at a prior Company where I was her manager. I recruited her to come with me when I changed jobs. She is technically good in one area of her job but she has an anger management problem. Because of this, she has had numerous personal problems (including three events involving police - one being an arrest and one requiring her to be detained by police) that have created issues with her arriving to work on time and has resulted in her missing many days from work. In addition, she resist authority and wears overly revealing clothing. She has been insolate with me on several occasions. I want to "manage" her out of the Company - send the message that she is no longer needed at the Company and that she should start looking for another job. What suggestions do you have for m e to get rid of her without outright firing her? Even though New York is an at-will state, in order to fire someone there must be cause so this is the best approach.

While looking through some old boxes, I've found deeds from various companies that total several thousand dollars (Canadian) at the time. They were primarily Canadian and the companies included "Premium Tire and Rubber Company", along with others. How would I be able to figure out if they still had any value?

Go Doers is an organization in which people go door to door to sell magazines to earn points to enable them to become better leaders in all aspects of leadership and become self-sufficient, eventually, in being able to support themselves. They work with a core group of people to help them develop the leadership skills. I have purchased several magazines, never received them, and now I am wondering what the reports are on them from the Better Business Bureau. I am not able to find that. I would like the information or where I am able to locate it before I call the company because it will cost me to call them. Thank you for any help and/or guidance.

I found a parcel of land I wanted to buy and it happened to be in the flood plain zone. I contacted local Allstate agent and asked for insurance premium quote which he said is roughly $500. As closing time came it turned out I need to do flood check, flood survey (pay), and finally real qoute annual premium happened to be $2,000 per year. 4 times more than I expected. I had asked the agent 2 months ago for the insurance premium qoute and had given me the number $500, it turns out as he said it was a "rough" quote and not real quote so it varied...varied by 300%. By this time I had paid the earnest money, appraisal fees, inspection, etc, total over $5,000.
Because of such premium I dicided not to buy the land and when backed out obviously seller kept my earnest money deposit and in the end I lost $5,000. I contacted agent and stated the problem and told him that I made the decision to buy the land based on his quoted prem of $500 but he said he is not respposible. Can I sue for 5K?

My wife and I just bought our first home in Los Angeles and I know that this coming tax year we can deduct mortgage interest and property tax. We both have full-time jobs, file jointly (both filed with 0 claimed dependants), and have a, before taxes, combined income of roughly $100k. The mortgage interest and property taxes for the year will total just over $30k. What kind of number could I roughly expect to get back in my taxes this year?
