Business & Finance - 20 September 2007

A family member had a discussion with their manager last week. "Man to man" they were discussing a transition the company was going through. My family member advised them that under the current conditions it was going to be very difficult for them to stay on (increased drive, a poorly staffed office, etc.) And mentioned that at some point he would have to consider other options. He also mentioned that he had been taking some classes to try to make better for himself. He did not use the words resign, quit, terminate, etc. Yesterday he received an email from his manager telling him to go ahead and turn in his resignation letter...keep it real simple and don't give any reasons. That does not sound right to me at all.
(It should be noted that in June a considerably younger employee who had been there less than a year -advised this same manager he wasn't pleased with the job and was going to school, etc. The employer did NOT ask for his resignation.)
??Is this right & what to do??

How do you go about opening a business, like how do you set up pay for employees and whatnot, and do you need to register it or something? Totally clueless. Help!

After watching my retired neighbours pottering about in their gardens daily for the last seven years, I have decided to take a lump sum from my pension now - not a huge amout, while I am still fit and young enough to enjoy it. Has anyone done this and how long should it normally take to get paid out.

I was always under the impression that any monetary gifts to my children would cost me a substantial gift tax. I recently heard that in reality, it would just reduce the amount of estate that I can leave "tax free" at the time of my death.
