Anyone do employment contract law in Florida? My girlfriend urgently needs a consult on on enforceability / potential damages for breach of a clause in her employment agreement that requires her to give 30 days notice.
Main question regarding damages is whether company could tax her the cost of replacing her with an hourly consultant since she would be leaving during a critical business time (corporate tax filing season).

I’m not a Florida lawyer but I’ve always understood notice requirements in employment contracts to be unenforceable.

She has an offer that expires Tomorrow at noon. Shed have to start on Saturday.

Is it an employment contract or an offer letter?

The notice requirement is in her current contract.

I feel like I belong on my team, but lately, it's been a lot of why's in the world in my mind. I would love if our team/company can be a bit more process driven than just "oh hey you're a thought leader, we'll do as you say, we'd love to hear your thoughts!", But then never actually really have any decisions solidified and reliant on me as the new recruit to pave the way, then I feel like I'm being bossy.

I've been in manual testing for 80% of my career. Despite attempts to transfer into a more code-centric role, I never got the opportunity to do so. Now that I'm in a management role, I feel like it's too late to enhance my programming skills.

Suppose I want to transition into a developer role, will self-study be sufficient for passing the necessary requirements for coding jobs? Lately, I've been learning python and using what I learned by solving problems at leetcode.

Is this a good idea? A searchable database of men who belong in the ‘men are trash’ category. This would be for men who are guilty of high crimes against women - STDs, violence, theft, being married, hiding kids, cheating.
There’s a platform where women can submit the name of the man that hurt them, evidence of the hurt and it can be verified and the names of the men will come up, the grievance that was verified but no details.
