A firm I worked at right out of school has locked up the "men's divorce rights" market - total scam


Scam? Please elaborate, I'd be interested to hear more.
The President is a fink.

Head of the firm would go to the Men's Rights meetings - promise them the world and rant about how men always get the short shrift in family court - but, at the same time, argue against it when representing a woman - there was no limitation to only represent men - whoever had a check would be welcomed with open arms (until their money ran out)

Spoke with the Owner from Court to ask him a question on the case and he started telling me that on my current salary i could afford to rent an apartment in Hoboken, NJ (which is still a 30-35min bus ride one way) - Seems as if he is reneging on the "raise" comment - but he said he wants to speak about it more "in depth" with me when I return from Court

We shall see

What percent of your gross salary would you expect to have to pay to rent in Manhattan?
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

If he's doing homework on rents, he
must really want you to stay. Nothing
will change though, there's no way
ProtoTwat will ever play ball for longer
than 2 days.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

THE OFFER




So, the owner just called me into his office and said he came up with a final offer he thinks is fair to everyone

He offered to split the cost of rent on a 1 bedroom apartment in Hoboken with me

So, it cuts my commute from 3.5-4hrs/day to 1.25-1.5hrs/day


I believe I am going to turn it down and go my own way

You have no choice. Isn't this boss
guy in his 80's? How much longer
can he last. When he's gone so are
any deals he made with you. Get out
while you can.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
