I have worked for this company for 6 months now and really enjoy my job. Since joining the company I have become sick and have had a fair bit of time off, every bit of absence has been backed up by a hospital letter. They extended my probation period up till now and I've just been handed a letter saying they want a formal meeting as they have concerns over my employment. The only possible outcomes are they either sack me or extend probation, My work is excellent but they are trying to find a reason so they don't sack me for being sick. I am a single parent and am terrified about losing my job. If I resign as I can't stand the stress plus I'm still not well do I have any rights to pay or benefits? Please help
Also if I get signed off sick long term can they sack me when I'm off...?.....I really need the money.

They both turn to inhumane actions when they can't get their way.

I don't trust neither one of them.

I was recently terminated from a job in a private school. I have been out of college longer than the other first-year English teacher, and have more education experience than she does due to student teaching. I was told I was "not a good fit for the school" and that I "made some mistakes". Obviously, though, most teachers do in their first year, and my counterpart was no exception. Yet she was retained and I was not. She is white, while I am black. A Hispanic teacher and I were the only two not to have our contracts renewed. Is this a situation where I might be able to pursue a racial discrimination case? Please note that I am not looking for money as much as justice. Thank you!

About once a month or so, as I walk out the door at Wal-Mart the alarm goes off and here comes someone to go through my bag. Am I legally required to stop and let them search my bags?

Yesterday it happened. I hadn't done nothing wrong and had a receipt so I kept on walking to my car. Security followed me and kept asking me to let them search my bag. I just told them to either get a real cop or quit harrassing me. I told them if they touched me, I'd own that Wal-Mart. Was i within my rights not to let a security gaurd search my bags?

Is english only laws equal racism?

I'm in favor of english being the national language of the US and surprised it isn't or am I just missing it? I'm filipino and my family immigrated here in '86 and we understood that if we plan to succeed in the states it is to learn the language. But we have not forgotten our national language. No law that I know of prohibits that.

One day, me and a friend from school went to the mall. We did not have school that day, but we had a meeting for a club we are in, so we were in our uniforms. The meeting was over at 9:45 and we were planning to go home and change first. But then we realized that mall opens at 10:00. We never been to the mall when it opens, and we were always curious on how empty the mall is when it opens. So we headed for the mall. We got there and it was awesome, there was nobody there. We went to some stores and got something to eat. At about 11:00, we were planning to go home. But then a mall security guard saw us. He asked why we weren't at school. We explained we had none. Then he questioned why we had uniforms and called it a likely story. He then handcuffed us and took us in the back. We were led to a small 6' x 8' cell. He put us both in there with our handcuffs still on behind our backs. He said he'd have to check out some things. He came back and said that he called around

I know this is totally stupid, so please spare me the mean comments.... I got got shoplifting yesterday and I was just wondering what the consequences usually are. I got a citation but was not arrested. I have to go get processed at the jail in two weeks and then see the judge two weeks after that. Does anyone know what I should do? Should I get a lawyer? The owner at the store told me something about restitution but I don't fully understand. Also, does anyone know what type of charge this is? It was 74 dollars worth of stuff...

Dearies, there is NO excuse that :1/ you are under 30 :) 2/ you are hardcore "patriots", 3/ your education sucked, or 4/ as the true americans, you dont give a flying fvck.
Just a thought after browsing all those totally senseless Q&A's.
There may be perhaps one valid, or thought provoking question/ answer in 50 /fifty/ or so.
