You could quit tomorrow if you like.
The recommendation thing is pretty sketchy also. All anyone says today is what dates the person worked and whether they would be rehired.
Anything else and lawsuits happen.

Yep. I had someone do that on a reference check. They literally told me he worked here from this date to that date and this was his title. On most reference checks I try and get to someone I know to get the real scoop.

Sounds like a big pain in the ass overall. I cannot really add anything new to the conversation except pointing out the obvious: There is no set rule as to what an employer expects out of an employee except to make the boss happy. Some bosses could care less if someone uses all their sick days as they earn them and other have a fit. Some bosses want you at your desk ready to go when the door opens and others are walking in behind you five minutes late.

The most important part for me to get an understanding of my employer's expectations is to ask him. Not when I am hired, not annually at my review, but continuously. I expect feedback on my job on a regular basis and if I am not getting it I try to force it. Of course, best laid plans often go astray. My boss mentioned the other day he has still not given me my review from last summer. I received the raise, just not the written review.

Well, the bottom line is that Ohio is an employment-at-will state. I see your points, but, knowing the situation, I'm pretty certain there's no legal recourse.

Especially for a young, white male...



Oh, and thanks for the concern, FCB... but I'm also the in-house IT girl, so I've disabled the "resume" alarm... :biggrin:

Sorry to belabor the point, but does employment-at-will legislation allow one to violate common law? From my understanding of US employment law, and remember that is 20 years old, employees have certain rights. I respect your views Peaches and I know you are working in a law firm but I am not sure that there isn't a legal case here.

First, you need to tell the sick relative to quit pretending that going to see doctorb's is somehow going to make a difference.

Second, QUIT STEALING MY DAMN DREAM! I guess yours is different, mine has two Scarletts.

Third, you need a jar full of cat urine, and need to arrive at the office (as directed) before everyone else on your last day. Unless everyone there sits in Aerons, they need to be spongy buttpads.

Fourth, eh, I don't have a fourth. Oh sure I do, put psycho Hooters chick on ignore.

Fifth, there's a ton of lasagna left, are you going to get over here and eat more at some point?

Sixth, when I said I needed to win the lottery, I meant the state lottery, and not the one here on BP. Talk about wasted karma.

Seventh, last one, you're never going to fit into the idiocy that is the typical workplace anyway, let me know when you want to start that porn studio.

Ok... I respectfully request that my chair be omitted from this step. I may, however, be of some assistance in the acquisition of the cat urine...

Well sure, I was going to say omit yours, and probably the seat of the one lawyer he'd like to bend over her desk and do naughty things to (if she were just willing, stupid horse ranches). But everyone else's? Fair game.

You can also use a syringe to insert water into his/her back. It turns them into little furry camels. They don't like that. :tongue2:

Around my house, all we have to do to get a cat to pee is leave a piece of clothing on the floor and walk away. Come back in 30 seconds and one of those little fuckers will have peed on it. I guarantee it.:pissed:
