I am presently an employee at a large retailer in North Carolina. The company has, like most, a set of rules and regulations, or in this case ‘guidelines’ as they are called. I have transgressed one of these guidelines, and am being threatened with possible termination.
I have information that some of my co-workers have also transgressed one or more of the same ‘guidelines’, but have seen no discipline whatsoever. In one case, a co-worker has been guilty of activity deemed prosecutable, but still continues employment.
If I am terminated, do I have precedent to stand on in view of these other employees’ freedom from punishment?

I have had issue arise over this week that has profoundly affected my reputation and relationship with my family. For a brief history on the circumstances I used to have an addiction problem for which I voluntarily admitted myself to a drug rehabilitation facility where I completed the program along with staying absent from drug use following my release. In doing so I was able to rebuild my relationship with my family. However, earlier this week my grandmother received a phone call from an unfamiliar person who stated I was using drugs again and that they had the proof. Along with stating that I was currently wanted by the local police department for drug use. These are of course all false. And as a direct result of this person my relationship with family is in ruins. My grandfather who is currently on his death bed was informed of this information and has broken his heart and lost all trust and respect for me. I would like to know what I should do to stop this and take action to those at fault. I live in the Knoxville, TN and would like any information available if at all possible. What do I have to do to regain my reputation.

I’m in the Aveda institute for cosmetology and I’m five months pregnant … The school is causing me … Alot of difficulty completing my curriculum and moving forward… My school is based on hours … I have missed a few days … Due to some family personal issues …. Now they are trying to make me repeat my course … When I approached them … With withdrawing to transfer to another school with my completed hours they told me I can’t until I pay them in full …my tuition is 17000 dollars , I have been in school for 33% of the time and they are saying I owe them 13000 dollars…. And they will keep the first disbursement from my loan which leaves me owing them 8400 out of pocket …. That doesn’t make sense to me at all . Also when I asked them if I could change my schedule days from Thursday Friday Saturday to Monday Tuesday Wednesday ….due to the busy environment and the uncomfortableness of my pregnancy .. They told me no… I need so much advice and help please if any one can help .

Hello,
I lost my job and got behind on rent and couldn’t catch up. I moved most of my stuff out and was coming back in a few days because my new move, (a stay with relatives) was far away, to get my remaining belongings and clean the place up. At that time I was going to go see the landlords and turn in my keys and try to make some sort of payment arrangement. They discovered I was moving before I could get back for my things and began calling all of my friends and relatives saying I owed them rent and left the place in a mess and making lots of threats. I’ve since notified them in writing of my contact info. and requested a payment plan. My question is, is it legal for them to contact my relatives and tell them our business? I would think they could only request contact info. on me and not slander me and make threats?
Thanks
