Isn't this, like, illegal? I would imagine you can do that before someone is hired, but if you are changing the terms after the hire, then it would be active dismissal.

No. My company did it like 5 years after I started. It was, however, a right to fire state. I refuse to call it right to work. They also changed the terms so if you’re fired,they don’t have to payout vacation or sick time. One of the reasons I retired when I did. Wasn’t happy with the environment any more, and had a pile of vacay stowed away that I couldn’t afford to risk.

Bingo. Not sure if that falls under "right-to-work" which is more union related, or "employment-at-will" which means that either the employee or the employer can end the relationship at any time.

Basically your job can just make up some reason to fire you, and then it's a coin toss whether you will qualify for unemployment.

Oh, you didn't sign our new legal requirements? Wow, looks like your work has really been falling off recently.

not if they're at-will employees. i've defended plenty of employment cases in Cali, which is as employee friendly as they come. now... there are some very specific restrictions to arbitration agreements in CA, but you can definitely make them a condition of ongoing employment

Ever done Wage & Hour claims in CA? What a fantastic Attorney Jobs Program they've created with that one!

unfortunately yes. mandatory attorneys fees often are the driving force of settlement in wage claims. most employment cases ive dealt with have been wrongful termination/retaliation claims, or harrassment type stuff.

Not employment related, but my favorite case I ever had to settle was a $30k settlement with a whopping $250 going to the plaintiff. Good times.

Here in CA you can make a specific type of settlement offer which would cut off attorneys fees if they don’t accept and fail to recover more at trial. So if you realize you f’d up on some wages you just make that offer pursuant to section 998 of the civil code and can get it done.

It gets more complicated if there are additional components and not just easily calculated wages
 
Utah is building a weirdly mutated team. Will be interesting to watch where they are heading. Probably some trades coming up.

They're heading for top3 lottery odds.
They simply have to get their franchise player in the lottery because noone wants to go there.
 
Yeah, next year there's a bunch of high level prospects, which means if you're bad enough you'll most likely get one anyway. They made that mistake before (as Brooklyn did last season), they won't do that again.
 
Perhaps Ainge will properly unload Markkanen now that he has a little sizzle about him again thanks to his nice Eurobasket performance. Wouldn't be surprised if he overplays it again and expects a massive haul that doesn't materialize and Lauri's perceived value tapers off again. It is the younger Ainge in charge now, maybe he learned from his dad's mistake.

I don't think Utah is concerned with the salary cap implications of keeping Markkanen, it's not like there's a parade of all stars lining up to sign with them. I do agree he might not want to over do it, but now that Ainge Jr has taken over, I'm pretty confident he'll be more reasonable. If Lauri has a good start of the season and looks like his former all star self, surely good offers will come his way and may be traded by the deadline.

We effectively have 2 guys in the top 100. An injury away from absolute catastrophe
Click to expand...
You think Den, Mil, Lal, Minny, Indy, Cle, Nyk, Det, GSW are near 50 win teams with or without Joker, Giannis, Luka, Ant, Hali, DMitch, Jalen, Cade, Steph. Think Bos is without Tatum?

I'd say its more likely nearly every PO team, every yr is basically one Top15 player injury away from catastrophe. Only OKC could prolly survive because of D and depth, but they wouldn't be a contender w/o SGA.
 
damn NSJ had a wild journey. was at one time a top 5 draft prospect, had some injury issues, fell in the draft and I thought he had carved out a small presence in the league but now has been waived.
 
I wonder if Houston grabs NSJ.

Tough break for McCain and the 666ers.

It's a fun cocktease for Hou... they'd probably love to pick up NSJ, but they can't. Sucks to be them.
