The company I've worked for for 10 years is closing the facility I work at...I was asked to stay until it shuts down and I would be given 1 months salary severance pay. My co-worker with basically the same job is male and has worked here about 5 years and was offered 6 months severance if he stayed until the end. He was told by management not to discuss the amount he was offered. Does this sound biased to anyone else? I think I should go talk to a lawyer. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice?

There were two guys sitting in a cafe. When it came to getting a bill, they started saying like "I'll pay!" "No, I'll pay!" "No, I'll pay!" and so on, and started fighting each over. In the end we see both of them in plaster. What it was all about?

Looking for dividend stocks, I came across ACH which is an ADR for Aluminum Corp of China. It has a high yield and I was interested in buying but a stock with 0 volume worries me. Does that mean it is delisted? Does that mean there are questions about its future? Any insight would be helpful.

My roommate's mom just took a life insurance policy out on her. She has to get a physical for it, which is standard, but they are sending someone over to our house to take blood and collect samples from our home. Is that standard? I have never heard of such a thing and think it's a bit creepy.

I sell custom portraits auction-style on eBay, and always offer the option of shipping insurance (through USPS). This particular buyer opted out of the insurance. I sent the portrait via USPS global priority in prisitne condition. When the buyer recieved it she said that the packaging was ripped and the portrait had a hole through the middle of it. I asked her to email a photo of the damage, but she says she can't get a hold of a camera. Instead she filed a claim for a full refund with Paypal. Does have any experience with this? Who will Paypal "rule in favor of"? Any help will be much appreciated!

I have been working for 3 months and started 1st year university. I attended my last lecture of the semester yesterday and exams start on Friday, Dec. 8. However, my employer (a large retail department store) wants me to work many hours over the next two weeks, which will not leave me much time to study for my upcoming exams.

My next shifts are: Wednesday night & Saturday night. I thought it would be reasonable to drop a resignation letter either today or tomorrow before my shift on wendesday, then attend the shift on wednesday and indicate in my letter my services will not be available for the Saturday night shift and for the future.

Is 4 days notice enough? I am still in the probationary 90 days in which i can be fired whenever they like. I do not have a copy of my employment contract, but i don't think there is any legal matter involved.

Please give me your opinion: is dropping a letter of resignation to my manager and giving them 4 days notice sufficient to leave my job?

I am a 20 year old guy (just turned 20 actually), and I want to go to China to study chinese thoroughly on September-January. I need $7300 and I already have $2000 saved up. I live in Peru and earn $500 a month (full-time), but I am miserable at work and this work will only be viable until the end of February. Then I have university from March to beginning of July, which leaves me July and August to work at who knows where (this job is no longer viable for these months).
I am an american citizen, which means I could go to work to the US (plus with all the experience) and I have a family in Miami, Florida with whom I could live with.

The only problem is that I don't have a secure job to get into in USA, but I could look for one. My viable working months are January, February, July, August. Is it possible for me to get a good job? Is it smart of me to leave my current job?

Please help.
