Yes. Comcast is interfering with his business relationship with his employer when it is none of their business. This is where it gets important whether HE is the one that brought his company into it or not.

And realistically, if you sue a previous employer, even for very good protected reasons, good luck on ever getting hired again. My friend's brother was fired for complaining about constant sexual harassment from his (female) boss. He ended up winning the lawsuit, as even her e-mails were clearly harassing him and several witnesses confirmed his version of accounts.

He got a $50,000 payout on top of money they were holding for a total of about $75,000. His lawyers took their standard third so he was back to about $50,000. After that, it took him 2 YEARS to get hired because every company saw a lawsuit against his previous employer and refused to hire him right there.

Well, as an IT professional I probably COULD, but it would be extremely unethical and illegal... (See San Francisco network.)

And in CA, when they fire you they are required to hand you your last check immediately. If not, there is a penalty per day for unpaid wages.

Nope. Talking about it in your e-mail and then firing them for "no reason" is where lawsuits end...in favor of the fired party.

This is why they handle it be having a "layoff" and only laying off the people that they want to fire.

I think they are talking about Teacher's Unions like in NY, where they have dozens of teachers going to empty rooms all day to sit around and get paid because they can't fire them.

I was on vacation and the idiot in front of me decides to stop in the middle of a highway and do a u-turn to go back to the previous town. I slammed on the brakes hard as did the person behind me. I could see that the person behind THEM was not going to stop. The instant they hit I edged forward as close to idiot's bumper as I could without hitting him. I escaped the crash by an inch.

You absolutely should watch for people behind you who aren't going to stop and take any evasive maneuvers that you can.

Sounds like Orlando needed a couple more cops...

I'm wondering about touchscreens. On my Acura, if I wanted to do virtually anything on the car, I could just touch a single button or the screen. On my new car, I have to navigate through pages of menus using a rotator knob. Somehow, this is considered "safer" than just touching a screen. I'm at a total loss to understand this.

Where's my mod points for Smackdown?

Qatar isn't that capitalist either, since the government owns the oil and writes everyone a check.

It's worse, universities are still putting out tons of art majors, lawyers, English majors, History majors, etc. that will NEVER find a job. But if you look at all the jobs available (simple programming of factory equipment, for example), there is NOBODY teaching those skills.

Not only are universities charging outrageous amounts, but they are putting out useless graduates that can't get jobs because they are trained for things that no longer exist.

Because Saddam Hussein got up in the UN and said he was going to attack the US. It may have been bluster with nothing behind it, but the US isn't going to let that go.
