Company suffers massive financial hardship after forcing out irreplaceable worker: 'The [department] racked up eight-figure losses'

If you happen to have one of these workers in your organization or someone who is otherwise essential to the operation of your business, you will do well to treat them well. It would certainly…

One of the core principles of renting a house is that it might be your landlord's house … but you're paying for it to be your home . This is something that gets missed, soaring right over their heads… and smacking into the poorly painted white wall behind them.

Many jurisdictions will require the landlord, or property manager, to give a ce…
