GM's thread about nothing (34 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

I just got a CB radio for our station wagon.

Good luck with the install. I put an 8-track in my Pacer last week and it was a chore.

It's worth it so you can hear Molly Hatchet in hi-fi.

Sitting at the Driskill bar sipping a Firemans 4 beer, blogging about DDoS attacks, admiring my new Chromecast and watching the Arizona game. Slap it.

Why don't you ever want to do this stuff when I'm in town?

It's a lot easier for me to get away for lunch and afternoon stuff. It just so happens that I was downtown for a luncheon and decided to work the rest of the day from the bar at the hotel.

Also, you're up in chess.

I'm 11-16-1 against you. I think we are reasonably well matched considering I don't have any understanding of strategy.

Cybil Shepherd's always been a favorite of mine.

Shared an elevator with her in the Peabody Hotel in 1987. I was 9. She was with her husband (I guess) and a small child. When they exited my Mom asked my Dad, "Was that..." and he immediately answered, "Yes, I'd recognize those legs anywhere..." A cherished childhood memory indeed.

Eminence, on 21 Mar 2014 - 1:54 PM, said:

This is offensive. If personal attacks like this to continue, I will pursue legal action.

On what grounds?

Defamation of character; cyberbullying. I simply started a thread about stocks I thought would do well in 2014. I have alerted FBG Staff on numerous occasions and have PMs to provide that I do no approve the constant attacks on my personal life that appear in this thread; they are hurtful and cause distress to my personal life.

As such, it is a crime against myself to refuse to close / delete this thread when it's new sole purpose is to make hurtful comments about myself. If you want to talk about stocks which was the original purpose of this thread, fine. But from here on out know that any comments you make are hurtful towards myself and my life and are causing me stress in my personal life.

If you want to refrain from causing me stress, stop making insults and taking personal jabs about my life when I have made it clear they are hurtful and unwanted. If Footballguys continues to allow these comments to be made, I will pursue a lawsuit on the grounds of cyberbullying and defamation of character. Furthermore, I only have revealed certain personal information due to the precedent Footballguys set by deleting / locking my former threads when this same exact thing happened. I was under the impression that if something of that nature happened again that my rights to privacy and a sane mind would be protected when posting on this website.

This is your last warning. The comments you make are hurting me. Not Eminence the poster on these boards but the person who lives the life that you enjoy to openly mock and make fun of; despite my numerous attempts over the past months to try to get the FBG Staff to prevent.

Just had a nice, relatively healthy snack of Blue Diamond Honey Roasted almonds. So good.

Is it bad that I finished off the tin with a spoon to get to all the sugar and salt left over in the bottom? :fatty:

Question for the JIMTANNER lawyerfolks...I am taking a new job (look at me) and talking with past colleagues they were all asked to sign a Non-Compete/some other release type at their exit interview saying that they won't try and recruit any current employees or discuss anything about their reasons for leaving. I did not sign anything like this when I joined the company and have no plans to sign anything when I leave. If I refuse to sign this what, if any, ramifications could I face?

It's prima facie evidence that you're intending to go against the best interests of that company. They will probably terminate you the moment you notify them, if you don't sign a non-compete.

Is there any chance you signed a non-compete when you were hired, and that what they'll really be asking is for you to sign an acknowledgement that they're reminding you of it when you leave?

If there was a non-compete when I joined it was hidden in something else. There wasn't a standalone one, I guess it could be in the handbook so I'll look at that but I doubt it.

ETA It doesn't matter to me if they walk me out when I notify them, the start date at the new company is flexible and I could start the next day. My only concern is that they will not pay out the expenses I am owed and fight me on giving me my last check if I don't sign this.

I'd request a copy of what you signed, with your signature on it, if they say that you signed one.

You have no obligation to sign any such thing as you exit, and I don't see what negative ramifications there would be either. That's the sort of thing they'll make you sign either at the outset of your employment, or sometime during it when they have the leverage of your continued employment to use as "encouragement".

EDIT- I may have misread this. Is your old job (that you're leaving) asking you to sign this now, or is it your new job asking?

The old job has requested that the employees sign some type of non-compete no recruiting contract upon leaving. I am anticipating them asking me to sign one when I put my notice in on Monday.

My company offers a severance package in return for signing the non-compete + release of liability (or whatever the form is called that says you won't sue them for any reason) even if you are quitting

Right - there's got to be some consideration (essentially "incentive") for you to execute a new contract. If they just hand it to you at your exit interview and don't offer anything to you for signing it, then I'd definitely refuse to sign it.

Not mine. The last two guys that have left one was asked to leave the premises immediately and the other one worked his notice period. Not sure which route it will go with me, but I want to make sure I have all my bases covered when I go in to give notice.

Ask them what you'll get in return for signing it. If the answer is nothing or some sort of veiled threat, tell them to pound sand.

With this company I wouldn't be surprised if their incentive is your outstanding expenses and your paycheck.
