I dont have a job, my only income is SSDI. I had my car reposessed. My lawyer actually told me to ignore them because they cant get my money, they cant do anything even if they take me to court. But now that I want to ivest my money into the stock market.. I am worried that somehow they can 'get me'. Are these assets still protected because they came directly from SSDI?

This happened in California. The boss had been sending man to drive boss' wife on personal errands on company time. Man said no to boss several times. Boss keeps asking, and wife keeps contacting man, calls on cell phone, showing up at man's home. Harassment is of sexual nature. Man contacts corp. about it after a few weeks. That same day, boss says man is "released" and position is eliminated. It is also in the 90 probationary period, both boss and man were just hired about a month ago. Does the man have cause for wrongful termination? What should be done?

nature or nurture!?......

...are those who are attracted to business, deficient in their ethical make-up...before they ever get to business schools and universities.......?

........or is their business education, devoid of any ethical considerations...and so ..generating amoral action/strategies, at the top of all businesses?

ie: are they taught/encouraged to be amoral, by their very course material?...or is it just that more amoral people are attracted into business than other line of work?

and are they taught that the greed of shareholders,is "obviously"[!] to be put above any reponsibility to the wider community...and the wider world?

I'm a new restaurant manager, and a non smoker. Help me understand from a smoker's perspective here.

The workers who smoke take 5 to 10 minutes to smoke cigarettes, sometimes more, and I don't have time keep going outside to get them back to work.

So, by taking the additional break time, the cigarette smokers force the non-smokers to cover for them while they are on their unpaid breaks, and they are getting paid for that break time (no way to clock out for less then 30 minutes, and they are not allowed break times if they are working less than 6 hours).

So, here's the questions:

Help me understand your situation. What is it like to go without cigarettes and why should we give you a few minutes to smoke unpaid?
Do you realize that means that non-smokers have to cover their position and yours?
How can I get my cigarette smokers not to leave to smoke during a rush, and not have to babysit them to get them back to work?

I make somewhere between $10-12K a year working abroad, which is not taxed by the US government. I also have student loans back home.

Should I have filed a tax return last year? My mother's lawyer told her it wasn't necessary but now, for other reasons, I need to supply one, and I didn't file.
