what would you do if the contract at your job ended and they were supposed to extend it by this past friday -- they did not -- and now they're telling you to come to work on Monday and they'll talk to HR (but there's no proof that you will get paid or that they will even do what they say as they are full of ****)...? Would Monday be your last day (even if you do NOT have another job) or do you keep going to work in hopes that they'll get their lying, lazy butts together enough to do as they promise?

Hello,

Family and/or job circumstances are requiring me and my family to leave out of town, in fact, out of the country. Therefore, I need to break my rental agreement. I am located in Massachusetts and we have a standard Mass lease agreement.

Obviously, we would like to be able to break our lease without paying any fees and/or penalties.

My question is, what are our options under Massachusetts law?

We know that we could attempt to find another tenant and if our landlord agrees, everything would be all set, but we have a limited time left in the country and we may not be able to find a tenant on time. On the other hand, I wouldn't like to leave the landlord high and dry and just pack up and leave; besides, there is a chance that we might return back to Mass in a couple years, so we would rather not be in any legal/financial trouble (like having our credit history damaged, etc).

Thanks in advance.

I asked HR about my benefits in regard to "if I were to leave my job, when would the benefits terminate", etc. They questioned me (but did give me the answer) and I replied that I just wanted to know as I have a lot of school/internship things coming up in the future and I wasn't sure if I would end up having to leave my job if I couldn't make the hours work together.

The HR rep told me that I HAD to tell my boss that I was "thinking of leaving" and that they would at least give me the opportunity to tell him before they did! They said "nothing is kept from the managers." I was totally shocked and really upset by this.

Is this legal? ethical? normal in HR?

p.s. I have not talked to my boss, but from what I heard from other employees HR stopped by to see my boss (which NEVER happens) and brought a "termination of employment" form. I'm just a very part-time employee in a basic position--not anyone crucial to the functioning of anything!

I knwo i didnt do the best i could, not at all.. some things really caught me off guard, like "define team spirit" and sutff like that. I was reeeally shy because i was so nervous. i was so shy they said it could be a problem, but i assured them im usually a people person.

I'm curious for future business planning.

Lets say I start a business this year. I spend $1500 on a computer and supplies and only have a total of $1750 in money come back.

Is $1750 part of my AGI? I haven't exactly "earned" $1750 because I spent $1500. I only "made" $250.

I suppose what I'm wondering is do deductions come off my AGI?

Thanks.

My son is playing on an AAU baseball team and they are a non profit team with a tax exempt id number. Does that mean that any donation that I get for that team is tax deductible as defined by IRC section 501 © (3)??
Thanks in advance. I am trying to put together a sponsor letter but want to make sure that my info is accurate.

My scores are 629 and 620. I would like to know if apartment complexes look at all three scores? I called this one place i like and she said they use a third party to review your credit application& rental history. ( I have never had an apartment) and then they come back with an answer like, Denied, first months rent, 2 months rent, or co-signer. I cant get a co-signer so i hope that my scores are ok. and they look at all three. Can any one give some help?

Confirmed that I won't reach the age of 60. Want to free up as much $$ as possible so I can live NOW! I own my home ($20K equity). The $20K debt on credit cards is at the limit of my budget - but the rates are low (< 4%). If I cash in my 401K, this will free up my income and I will be on a cash-only basis - no more credit cards! The only upcoming major expense is a car payment that I will need to do in 1-2 years. I will still keep a $401K, but I will start at $0 again - my company has a good "matching" program. If I cash in my $44K 401K, that will give me the $20K to pay off these bills now - or I can leave it to grow and for my kids to use it to pay off my debts after I'm dead...Should I cash it in NOW?

I've ordered £190 worth of herbs and incense from an online store in america... will I have to pay customs tax when they get delivered here in the UK and if so, how much would this be?

Is there any way of avoiding the charge? Could I ask the shop to write that it is a gift on the front?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
