rprk48 | legaladvice_train | 0.97 | Leaving a job and taking all of my personal equipment with me. What am I required to do with company info stored on them? I work for a small manufacturing op as the sole IT person. I gave the owner written and email notice in November that I would be leaving Effective 5pm on Jan 7th and all equipment I own would be erased at that time. The part I’m worried about is that I own property that is used daily by the company. Several years ago, I requested a budget for a server to host company email, a shared drive, and other daily reports. I explained the advantages to my technologically inept boss and he balked at the $5000 price tag. This stuff would make my job exponentially less time consuming so I asked him if I could buy the stuff myself and he agreed. I kept all of the receipts with my personal credit card info on them. Since then the company has purchased new manufacturing equipment that automatically sends daily production and maintenance reports as well as notifies our maintenance staff of any mechanical issues. This is all forwarded through my equipment. I told the owner verbally that I would be removing my things and he would need to replace them by Dec 15th if he wanted me to transfer everything. He blew me off. I don’t have that specific part in writing. I have given my replacement written step by step instructions as well as an essential equipment list, but he doesn’t have an IT background and he can’t get anywhere with the owner either. No one understands how mission critical this stuff is. I plan on wiping everything after 5pm on Friday and packing up my stuff. Do I need to take any other steps to ensure I can’t be successfully sued? | hq5zn49 | hq7o2t0 | 1,640,624,979 | 1,640,650,103 | 18 | 24 | Couple of things, first post a state so the people educated on the law in that state can help. I personally recommend backing up the company files somewhere for decencies sake, you can get a decent amount of storage for $100. I’d also offer the configured technology to your boss at the $8000 to $10000 range. I can’t see any issue with your current plan if your in Florida. You’ll likely have your old boss freak out at you when he realizes what he just lost but that’s life. If your an at will employee, you can likely walk out with your things. If the servers are not company assets like you say, this should be fine. I understand not wanting to confront your boss about how everything will break when you leave, but you should try to be clear and OFFER to sell it at a premium. Explain that you don’t want to buy and assemble a new rig. I have a rack with a bricked motherboard that I just got. It’s a serious hassle to set this stuff up but if your boss wants to pay someone to redo it, don’t stop him. | One thing no one mentioned, email your plan and the dire ramifications to any other managers in the company, especially department heads who will have their operations shut down, accountant, shop supervisors, etc. , anyone who might ask the boss what the hell he’s dragging his feet for. Plus, he can’t say he missed the email. | 0 | 25,124 | 1.333333 |

(though iirc, most cloud places won't delete your data after a trial is up, but rather make it read-only or not let you upload anything new.) I don't know what kind of work you do, so maybe the data is way too sensitive to trust to commercial cloud storage, but if not, then this might be an option that doesn't cost you money but also doesn't result in inadvertent destruction of your employer's IP. | One thing no one mentioned, email your plan and the dire ramifications to any other managers in the company, especially department heads who will have their operations shut down, accountant, shop supervisors, etc. , anyone who might ask the boss what the hell he’s dragging his feet for.

I personally recommend backing up the company files somewhere for decencies sake, you can get a decent amount of storage for $100. I’d also offer the configured technology to your boss at the $8000 to $10000 range. I can’t see any issue with your current plan if your in Florida. You’ll likely have your old boss freak out at you when he realizes what he just lost but that’s life. If your an at will employee, you can likely walk out with your things. If the servers are not company assets like you say, this should be fine. I understand not wanting to confront your boss about how everything will break when you leave, but you should try to be clear and OFFER to sell it at a premium. Explain that you don’t want to buy and assemble a new rig. I have a rack with a bricked motherboard that I just got. It’s a serious hassle to set this stuff up but if your boss wants to pay someone to redo it, don’t stop him. | Have you considered offering the equipment to them for a certain price? They NEED a server in place for their email, the shared drive, the daily production and maintenance reports, etc. Taking that server out of the facility could shut the company down. The owner should have figured out what he was going to do when you gave notice. I sell servers and storage arrays for a living, and there's absolutely NO WAY he's going to be able to get a replacement by January 7th. Our current production timeline for the simplest systems is 3-6 weeks, usually closer to 6 than 3. More complex systems are running as long as 12 weeks to ship.

What I would do is transfer it all to an online platform before you leave. Get the cheapest one you can find to do get the jobs done. If you are having issues with getting approval for funding, disconnect your equipment before you leave (don’t erase.) It will be immediately evident what is missing and management will most like approve the costs and movement of data. Some people need to feel the hurt before they will buy a solution. Another option is for you to offer to host the server for a monthly fee. Lastly, you could outline what they will need and get some quotes from some service companies in advance so the company has what it needs to do a proper handoff. | Transfer their data to a spare drive, leave it there for them, wipe your hardware, pack it up and leave. | 1 | 27,132 | 1.25 |
asunxg | legaladvice_train | 0.95 | Got Into car accident with a drunk driver ,consulted with 3 different lawyers that said nothing can be done. So now I’m $376,725 in debt and counting.summary inside. So this is my first time posting on reddit so please bear with me. The accident occurred in Orlando, Florida on December the 15th 2018. The drunk driver ate a red light while trying to turn left while I was crossing the intersection. Fast forward I gained consciousness and my father was at the scene already (we were out at a restaurant together but in different cars) , while I tried to regain composure I thought everything was good , well I was very wrong. I woke up in the hospital 3 days later with an incision from top to bottom of my abdomen, turns out as of result of the accident I ended up with internal bleeding, lacerations to my liver & colon, contusions to my intestines and a collapsed lung. I contacted a lawyer fast forward a month, the lawyer calls me saying that since I didn’t have uninsured motorists insurance and they didn’t have pip there was nothing they could do. Called two more lawyers they said the same exact thing. Now they did have insurance just not personal injury also the driver is not the owner of the car. | egx25da | egx3gq8 | 1,550,708,182 | 1,550,709,183 | 27 | 34 | This is why bankruptcy exists.

Every time, and email to save to the cloud. Video and pictures every time. So after you have about 2 weeks, the people should be contacted would be the FAA. From what I can recall, it would be under the jurisdiction of the FAA, who make the rules and regulations of such and talk to them. They may have a few ideas on such, and depending on how low or where it is flying, it could be against the law, so contact the FAA would be ideal. You may also want to contact a good lawyer, as they would know the law. The kind of lawyer I am not sure of but I would suggest the state Bar association. | 1 | 12,538 | 3.89781 |

Why does she believe that? | Not a lawyer but a drone pilot for the government. I would be extremely skeptical this is actually happening. For one, you describe a drone “lifting off” which suggests a drone with VTOL. Those are usually multi rotor copters which have a range of less than five miles and a control range less than one mile. Even if it was one of the unusual variants that has a VTOL capability before transitioning to a fixed wing mode those are expensive and ponderous. If expensive, the chances of someone having one sitting around and not subject to severe oversight are slim. Oversight means they are subject to FAA rules and the FAA doesn’t allow beyond visual line of sight in almost all cases. Waivers for beyond line of sight have been granted dozens of times throughout the country. As a certified drone pilot for the us government, I can only operate beyond line of sight when actively engaged in search in rescue or something that requires immediacy and even then I’m going to have to document it immediately after. Point is, the overwhelmingly likely option is that unless she’s pissed off Jeff Bezos it’s unlikely anyone has one of those drones just sitting around. I’d recommend sitting with her in the morning and seeing if you can spot it. Other folks might just be confusing what they see for “a big drone” when she makes the suggestion since the bird, balloon, or other aerial object is hard to see. Final note, if there is something that big Flightradar24 is your best app to track it. Final note, I know the army has a few bases in LA where they operate fixed wing Shadow drones. They do so under incredibly controlled circumstances and fixed training routes which will be available on the sectional charts for your area. If deviating from those routes for post hurricane search and rescue or something else of national importance, they will be transmitting their location. Hope this helps. | 0 | 38,725 | 1.328125 |

I would be extremely skeptical this is actually happening. For one, you describe a drone “lifting off” which suggests a drone with VTOL. Those are usually multi rotor copters which have a range of less than five miles and a control range less than one mile. Even if it was one of the unusual variants that has a VTOL capability before transitioning to a fixed wing mode those are expensive and ponderous. If expensive, the chances of someone having one sitting around and not subject to severe oversight are slim. Oversight means they are subject to FAA rules and the FAA doesn’t allow beyond visual line of sight in almost all cases. Waivers for beyond line of sight have been granted dozens of times throughout the country. As a certified drone pilot for the us government, I can only operate beyond line of sight when actively engaged in search in rescue or something that requires immediacy and even then I’m going to have to document it immediately after. Point is, the overwhelmingly likely option is that unless she’s pissed off Jeff Bezos it’s unlikely anyone has one of those drones just sitting around. I’d recommend sitting with her in the morning and seeing if you can spot it. Other folks might just be confusing what they see for “a big drone” when she makes the suggestion since the bird, balloon, or other aerial object is hard to see. Final note, if there is something that big Flightradar24 is your best app to track it. Final note, I know the army has a few bases in LA where they operate fixed wing Shadow drones.

Her work is 15 or so miles away, ans irs followed her as much as 40 miles once." This implies a quadrotor drone. To my knowledge, there are no quadrotor drones capable of anything even close to a 15 mile flight range, and the control range would be even smaller. Let alone 40 miles.

I don’t know of any drones with the capability of maintaining a 40 mile trip outside of the military.

Only Government drones have that range, and to my knowledge none are capable of VTOL. They require an actual runway/landing strip, and USUALLY fly so high that your sister would not even notice it. So that narrows things down a little bit. It's possible that a smaller drone lifts off each day she goes to work and follows her a short distance before returning. This is creepy, but not necessarily illegal. If done by a Government agent it could be part of some investigation, or even training. Who owns the property on the other side of that line?

At best you'll find nothing, at worst you end up getting into legal trouble for trespassing, interfering with an investigation, etc, or possibly worse.

This next part is not intended to be insensitive or offensive, but I am a realist. Your sister said she was worried that the police are who is operating the drone. Why would she be worried? Is she committing crime of some sort? Does your sister (or anyone else in your family) have any mental health issues? Substance abuse issues? Even in the past? Has your sister suffered any sort of trauma lately (physical, emotional, or mental) or abnormal stress? If so this could be a paranoid delusion or a hallucination. You said others have seen it as well. Did you hear it straight from them or did your sister relay it? If she relayed it, I would suggest covertly asking some of her coworkers if they have seen the drone as well. If this latter possibility seems plausible or likely, I would suggest you talk to your sister and gently urge her to speak to a therapist. | 0 | 4,587 | 3.529412 |

It only follows her, not her spouse, our mother nor me and my husband. She's tried looking for apparently that will show any drones flying nearby so she can track it. But all we've found are for tracking your own drones or ones meant for business security. I've suggested she try affixing a trail cam to her vehicle. Any other suggestions on how we can capture evidence of this harassment? She believes a member of the local police may be involved, so she is afraid to report it to them. Who then would we report it to? We are in an unincorporated area, so would state police have jurisdiction? We are in Louisiana. We appreciate any advice you may have ro give. | iu95z0j | iu9cb7j | 1,667,056,078 | 1,667,058,862 | 23 | 68 | Double the thickness of your tinfoil hat or just go too where the drone is launching from see who it is | Police officer here, Drones in many departments only have a flight time of 10-15 minutes and need to be maintained in line of sight. I don’t know of any drones with the capability of maintaining a 40 mile trip outside of the military. I work for a fairly wealthy department and we have top of the line equipment especially in the drone program. I’m not saying this isn’t happening but… not with local police budget money it’s not. Edit: State police have jurisdiction everywhere in the state but will refer you to a local PD. | 0 | 2,784 | 2.956522 |

3hwt4a | legaladvice_train | 0.98 | Company car I was driving was hit by a drunk driver. Insurance fully paid for the car but the company says I still owe them $40,000 [CA] I was on my way home from work in my company car when I was hit almost head on by a drunk driver. He was found at fault by the police and the insurance company and was charged and convicted. His insurance settled with the company and gave them a payout to replace the car, which the company lawyer accepted. I am still off work recovering from my injuries and I probably won't be back for 3 more months. Last month I received a letter from the company stating that I owed them the cost of the car because I was the one responsible for it when it was totaled and written off. I thought it was mistake or something so I called the insurance company, got written confirmation of the settlement and sent it into them with a note that the car had already been paid for by the insurance company. Now they have sent me to a collection agency and I have debt collectors calling saying I owe $40,000. I live in California. Do I call the insurance company to let them know or do I need to get a lawyer? Is them calling the debt collector even legal? Sorry if these questions are stupid, but I am already stressed enough from trying to recover and this has just made it worse. | cub9m9c | cub9wvt | 1,440,200,789 | 1,440,201,329 | 23 | 156 | Try making some phone calls to your employer and the insurance company to see if you can get things straightened out quickly. But if you hit a brick wall, it's time to get an attorney involved. Don't let this go too long... | If they've already been compensated for the loss of the vehicle through the insurance carrier, they can't double dip and then request that you pay them. Obtain the company's insurance information and call the adjuster to see if you can find out whether the company was paid for the claim connected with your accident. Look at your contract, if you have one. See what it says about vehicles and liability. If this is having a negative impact on your credit rating, call the credit reporting agencies and also send them a letter notifying them of an error in their reporting. | 0 | 540 | 6.782609 |
