My boss, at the company I work for, is trying to get rid of me.
It started when he told me to fire someone, but I said "No. We don't have enough evidence!"
Later, we gathered all the evidence, and fire the guy, but I could feel that my boss didn't like the fact that I said no to him.

So he started digging. He dug up some, and made up the rest (about 90% of that), and gave me a warning.

I only have one more warning before I get terminated. I know he is waiting for me to slip up to give me my final warning.

I talked to a lawyer, but he told me to suck it up and move on with my life, but I am wondering maybe some of you know what else I can do? I mean, they can't just treat you like sh*t simply because they are your boss, can they?

Is there anything I can do regarding my current warning? I mean, I can prove that it is a fake, that almost every single statement there is false.

We still have accidents, violence, abuse, drunkeness on the streets, speeding, bad employers and most other evils and wrongs.

Is the law just comfort to the paranoid, and what politicians do when they haven't got a proper answer?

I have recently broke off a 6 yr relationship with my childs father b/c of his irresponsible behavior, lack of financial contribution to the household, marijuana smoking, and mental abuse (physical once). I was open and honest that I no longer wanted to be with him and that I was seeing someone else. Financially he cannot afford to go immediatly and I wonder if ever. Lately he is verbaly abusive ex and threatens to punch the new guy, being overly nice, showing up on my job to ask (stupid) questions, trying to go everwhere I go. I reinforced I no longer wanted to be with him, but he says while he is here he is going to prove his love for me by doing all the things he should have done. I have been thinking of getting a restrainging order. I know it gives me temp custody of our child, and forces him to move out, and no contact. However since there is no outright violence will i be able to get one. My name is on the lease, I have kids, and I don't see him leaving willing soon.

Sky News - The Government's strategy for tackling obesity in children has been criticised as "confused" and "dithering" by an influential group of MPs

is this not the job of parents.educated the children in what is good to eat.instead of leaving it and blaming the goverment.i know many a parent that would rather give thier child a few pounds to go to the chip shop rather than cook them a healthy meal.it's the parents that should be held to blame for obese children

I'm not a Catholic or a homosexual but I think it is the Catholic Church's right to follow their beliefs - also has anyone asked the Muslims how they feel? - I understand they abhor homosexuality.

With companies such as Littlewoods, 02 (mobile phone contracts), Book Clubs like the Fantasy & SF book club, Ikea (storecards) etc?

If the person then cannot pay the bills, and then admits that they were never old enough to have credit in the first place (for example, they were 15/16/17 or whatever and lied about their age in order to obtain credit) who would be legally responsible, and what would be likely to happen?

I just finished jury duty on a burglary and theft case. Basically, the defendant borrowed her cousin's car to gain access to a gated community. We found the defendant guilty and it seamed to be an easy decision for most of us. Our main point of contention was whether she was the perp or aided and abetted the crime(s).

The thing that kind of bothers me was the defense's case was mainly "I don't have the burden to prove anything". Their only witness was the defendant and they presented nothing to back up her story or reestablish her credibility after she lied and gave inconsistent accounts. The defense attorney just mentioned on several occasions that the burden was on the prosecution.

Is that a common defense & is common for a case that weak to be brought to trial. Could the defense simply been relying on the unpredictability of juries?

I realize the burden of proof is on the prosecution, I just would have expected something from the defense.

My gran went on vacation (until 2/10) Mon. morn. On Wed., I got a call from her apt. manager that they were towing her car because they had to repave the parking lot. They claimed they notified her beforehand but I found out they notified her Mon. after she already left on vacation. Regardless, they had no choice but to tow her car (they did not have her spare key). I found her spare key and called the towing company to retrieve her car. The towing company claims that they cannot legally release her car to me since I am not the registered owner. While I understand this, I told them she can give verbal agreement over the phone, or she can fax a notary authorizing me to pick up the car. My grandma doesn't get back until 2/10. The towing company charges $25 per night (in addition to the $140 flat fee of the pick-up). I suspect they are telling me I can't pick up the car "legally" so that they can milk her for the $25/night until the 10th. Do I have any legal recourse? Thanks!

Is it legal for your would-be employer to change your hourly rate after a verbal agreement?
Last week my Fiance was recently offered a job to work at a Memorial Care hospital. The Hiring Manager and HR Manager called him to confirm that they are hiring him and he could start working next week. They offered him a salary of $27.50 per hour plus overtime. On the same day, he was offered another job from a different hospital, but he declined because he already accepted this previous job offer. He then asked the Memorial Care hospital to send him a paperwork about his hiring. The Hiring Manager told him not to worry and everything's taken care of.

Tonight he got a phone call from the HR Manager that they are changing his hourly rate to $6.00 less. He said that his position is not a management position and they are hiring him from another Memorial Care division, not from outside sources. He even aded that it's the company policy. Do you think it's legal? How would you handle this situation?

• 81% think that following people suspected of involvement with terrorism, tapping their phones
and opening their mail is ‘a price worth paying’.

• 80% think that putting people suspected of involvement with terrorism under special rules –
which would mean that they could be electronically tagged, prevented from going to certain
places or prevented from leaving their homes at certain times – is ‘a price worth paying’.

• 79% think that allowing the police to detain people for more than a week or so without charge
if the police suspect them of involvement in terrorism is ‘a price worth paying’.

• 71% think that having compulsory identity cards for all adults is ‘a price worth paying’.

i havent lived in the UK for a while, do you thinkl this reflects the current mood? It's very worrying.
