Hi not sure if this belong here.

So a close friend(let's say Tom) works at RBC and recently they interviewed for another bank and the bank extended the offer. Tom accepted the offer and went to give their notice period of 2 weeks. The manager acted in anger and asked them to leave their keys and leave the branch immediately. The manager said that Tom won't be getting any severance pay or paid for unused vacation days even though Tom was technically fired. Is this legal? Should he take action?

This is asking for legal advice, it does not belong here.

Tom should look at his state's department of Labor guidelines--they will detail how banked vacation should be treated and there may be FAQs there too. If Tom needs a lawyer, he should look for a plaintiff's side employment attorney in his state.

And Tom should file for unemployment. Based on this fact pattern, he was terminated.

Hi everyone - I’m just beginning my career and I’m very proud of the work I’ve done in accepting myself and living openly after having grown up Catholic. Through a lot of self-examination, I’ve started to realize the full extent of the trauma I experienced and held onto from growing up LGBT. I’m honestly surprised that this part of the process isn’t more talked about as it seems to be a relatively common experience. Are there any resources you’d recommend to help with this healing process?

How bad does it look to future employers for an experienced attorney (15+ years) who is pivoting into a different practice area and looking to lateral after only having been at their current/first job for 4-5 months in the new practice area? I've been told by a recruiter that it's not a deal breaker because of my experience level. But many colleagues have suggested I remain where I'm at (miserable and unappreciated - just took a $20k pay cut) for at least a year.
