If the employee is so angry or annoyed that they are willing to leave without notice,
Just because that's the only reason you've ever left a job doesn't mean it's the only reason anybody does. A lot of people move on to better opportunities, and a good employer congratulates them and wishes them well, even if they're really pissed off about it.
There are very few places in the United States where either party is required to give any notice whatsoever for quitting or firing for cause. And unless I'm mistaken, the requirement to pay all accumulated vacation time is federal.
So the reality is, you walk in and say "I'm gone," and have ten weeks vacation accumulated, that's that. What are they going to do? Fire you?
The only difference that matters is that the actual date of termination determines when you lose your insurance and have to get more on your own.
Your options are not mutually exclusive. Bending over backwards to accommodate an employee who is in a family crisis is good business. There is no conflict there.
Also, fiduciary responsibility only matters in a corporation, and even then, only one that's not closely held. It's entirely legal for the two or three people who own a corporation to get together and say "fuck the bottom line, let's do what's right."
I've been with the same company nearly 25 years. The former owner (retired, sold the business to his son) was, honestly, a bit of a sociopath. But he was a smart sociopath, and knew that happy employees are a lot more productive. He always took care of everyone.
The reason you can't find a decent job is because companies that are good to work at won't hire people like you.
You don't give notice because you give a shit about your (soon to be former) employer, you give notice because that's what a professional does. Walk out without notice and you declare "I am not a professional."
Small wonder you can only get shitty jobs. You're a shitty employee.
Win7 is still supported, so upgrading it should be completely optional. Again, leave my paid-for and still-supported OS the hell alone.
Whether it's still supported or not, it's still what was paid for. And when they released it, they published a support schedule that said it would get security updates until 2020. So forcing the upgrade is taking away four years of usage that was paid for.
The flip side of that is that isn't never just one person suing you for $10,000. Now that she's won, a lot of other people will file similar lawsuits. This is why some companies never settle - as a deterrent to bogus suits.
Not that there's anything bogus about suing Microsoft over Win 10, and how they've handled the upgrades.
The advantage of a computer algorithm is that it can be analyzed, refined, improved, and relied upon to function more or less as well as it did in the past (assuming the new inputs aren't radically different from the previous ones.)
Not when the entire process is kept secret. Which is the complaint here.
Have they consistently - every time - claimed a trademark on it? And enforced that claim consistently? If not, then they have no enforceable claim to it.
They do, however, have an enforceable right to keep using it if they were before the application from slimebags was filed.
If their goal is to not have someone else trademark it out from under them, then they register it, and fail to enforce it, thus placing it in the public domain.
If their goal is to keep anyone else from using it, then they need to register it and enforce it.
In the US, banks have to make the funds available shortly after deposit, before the check clears; which makes people think the check is good when it isn't.
With a check drawn on a US bank, normally, the bank you deposit it into knows it's good before you walk out the door. Sometimes (as with paychecks), before you walk into the door.
This scam only works when it's (supposedly) drawn on a bank that's not part of the US banking system.
It only takes one out of the entire staff to know to call 911 in an emergency. Any kind of disruption, most bands will stop the show until they know it's been taken care of anyway.
It's not rocket scientists. Most fifth graders can handle calling 911 when the shit hits the fan.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone thrown out of a movie for using a cell phone here in southern California. But I can't remember the last time I saw, or heard, a phone during the movie, either.
I don't go to theaters that don't expect a certain level of good manners. On the other hand, there are at least 20 or 30 theaters within convenient driving distance, so there's no reason to.
Promising things he knows full well only Congress can do, that are beyond presidential authority. and knowing full well that no Congress that sits during the next term ever would. Empty promises of ridiculous things.
I'm not sure he could even pardon Snowden without Snowden first being convicted, technically.

I'll bet he's been allowed to touch an actual bobbie without being arrested. Unlike some.
Now if they're impose the same criminal penalties for interfering with fair use, we'd be all set.
The most entertaining thing about drinking games is watching them sober, It's like watching a new animal species in its native habitat.
And for the record, spoons should never, ever, ever be played with forks.

Fraud is a predicate offense for racketeering.

If it's not entertaining at normal speed, it's not entertaining at any speed.
It's entertainment. Efficiency is pointless.

From a US bank to a US bank, it takes minutes to verify a check (though I believe the transfer of funds is only once a day).
Banks outside the US are not part of the same network.
Not as much as being evicted because your rent check bounced, because you bank held your paycheck deposit for three weeks to get the "float."
There's a reason it's the law.

Actually, when it's out on parole, restricted computer access is part of the conditions.
And the cost of any training to keep the professional skills current, for professions where not doing so can keep you from finding new work.
Since it apparently only affects synced photos, yeah, apparently, it is a smartphone only thing. That much is in the summary.
It's very easy for the guys with the checkbook to say no to the guys with the guns.
The most you could say against it is that the system creates a conflict of interest.
No, the most you can say is it's blatantly unconstitutional, and the police should recognize that and refuse to have anything to do with it.
