| aceofspades Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 83 Posts: 2019 | Happy Fri-Yay!!! Ever since the morning I emailed about working from home, the Owner has been very cold/standoffish with me - he normally has me come into his office 10 times during the day for various things, calling clients and attorneys, discussing motions, etc. Since Wednesday, he has not called me in once. It is very strange Hmmmmmmm the Owner's assistant just notified me that the Owner was going to call a client on a case I am working on - so, as I go to walk into his office, he tells his assistant that he doesn’t need me involved — very weird — out in the hallway, I remarked to the assistant that it seems like he is about to fire me - she then said “You, me or both of us” — apparently, he is treating her like s**t today Oh, I just received a cc: on an email the Owner apparently dictated earlier to an adversary on another case I have been working on — I love being out of the loop — ever since the other day when I was going to stay home and he demanded I come into the office it has been very weird |

Not weird at all. You disobeyed a direct order from him about stay at home Wednesday's. He's trying to figure out if he can live without you, don't be surprised at the outcome. Protoprick has been whispering in his ear non stop, I'm sure. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The owner almost begged you to come back, you go back, and he treats you like a dog turd stuck to bottom of his wingtip. Everybody in NYC is insane. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

[and I say guys because I don't see women having to pay like I have seen men]. It just doesn't seem that you can actually ever leave them after say ten years of marriage. They will attach themselves to your earnings like a leach, for life. imo The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

I understand your point but in this case they were still married when he won it. The ruling makes sense to me. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |
