My friend Akiva who was just hired four days ago has now been fired, because a previous employer worked in her position before Akiva. Due to the fact that this previous employer wants her job back, and has more seniority than Akiva by two years, the managers just fired her. Akiva dropped everything for this job! She waited for weeks and left another job for this and is extremely depressed.

ISN'T THERE ANY LAW AGAINST THIS!?????
 
Well, the only thing I could see why is that the other person has more experience.

Then again, it still does seem wrong.
 
Good idea. Asking a Gran Turismo Forum for legal advice 👍

My advice is not to ask a Gran Turismo forum for legal advice. That will be $175.
 
It's Manhattan, what do you expect? And yes, there's a future lawyer on the site floating around somewhere. Contact him, I think I saw him in teh Religion Thread. Just read everyone's signature.

Yes !... We own !...

And hopefully we'll kick the **** out the those swedish bastards from Malmö FF tonight !.. Zuma isn't playing though - slight injury...

The check** is in the mail - go wait by your mailbox 👍

** It'll probably bounce though :odd:

That sounds a bit dodge :(

Back on topic, does anyone know if I have any legal rights regarding a bounced cheque? I mean, this guy owes me money and stuff and said he'd pay.
 
That's working life in New York for 'ya. New York State is an "employment-at-will," state. Without a contract restricting termination (such as a collective bargaining agreement) an employer has the right to discharge an employee at any time for any reason. This also protects the employee's right to resign. An employer may fire an employee for "no reason" - or even for a reason that might seem arbitrary and unfair -- and the employee is equally free to quit at any time without being required to explain or defend that decision.

Not if New York is an Employment At Will state, which most states are.

The flip side is that if she had discovered she hated the job 4 days into it, she could have quit, instead of being contractually bound to serve a minimum term.

[edit] Meh. Treed by three hours! That will teach me to read the whole thread.

My expert legal advice is not to ask a Gran Turismo forum about legal rights regarding a bounced check.

That will be $255.

:p
 
My advice would be to not have a thread in a Gran Turismo forum expecting members to read your questions about legal advice and expect us to think of a useful response.

That'll be $300.
:sly:
 
Did Akiva get any kind of severance package or job-placement help? That would be something. Is the company that fired her a good place to work? Would she consider going back?

If not then I think we all know the only recourse is:-

Dish the dirt. We have this thing called the Internet now and everyone reads it. Slam this company every way you can, every where you can. Start topics on bulletin boards. Place entries in your sig. Create a blog. eMail every one you know. Get references first*.

Oh in case I wasn't clear enough, I want to know the name of this company as well.

Mike

* that'll be $350, thanks. :)

Damn expensive expert legal advice giving GT players. :mad:

I think we should merge our legal advice giving entities and start a recipe swapping website where we can dispense it for a fee. :sly:

Typically severance packages are given to people have been with a company for a long time, and they're going to be laid off. Not to people who worked for four days and were then fired. Also, seeing as how this company didn't mind firing her only four days after she was employed, I would seriously doubt they would help with any sort of job placement.
 
It may be morally wrong, but not legally. If there is someone more suited to the job in the employers eyes, then he should have every right to hire them in the best interests of his company.

Sorry, your friend may have got the wrong end of the stick, but that's how it goes in life sometimes...

That is correct. :) What a great state! :sly: I want to work here forever! :dopey:
 
Tis the way the cookie crumbles. Not much you can do legally about it, as the law is pretty clear on how an employer can do stuff with the at will statements... :/
