ShareThisWhat would you do in this situation?
I lived in SoCal looking for work. Moved to Hawaii to help my brother expand his landscape business. We just added another guy to our crew making it 3 of us. We work Mon-Wed full days from around 8 am to 4 pm. Only pays me 0/month because I gave him that fair amount as he caught up on bills and stuff. I also do the invoicing and all the paperwork that is needed. Also join him in some of the projects that need to be done like fixing valves, pipes, new plants, etc. I live with him and he pays for food and stuff. Don’t pay rent. They want to move to a bigger house and wants to charge me for a room to help pay the bigger rent or mortgage. I can’t afford that because I want to save my money for several months and reinvest it into my own side business (RE Investing). Thats where I stand now, but now rethinking my options as follows:
I can stay and get a raise to 0 and do the same thing, hopefully in the future he switches the business from sole proprietor to a corporation and possibly go 50/50? I wouldn’t mind going 60/40. But at least now I am part owner officially. Also by then running my business that he wants to join as well when he gets bigger and has the money to invest.
Or I can move back to Cali but this time to NorCal with my aunt because my mom told me about a cleaning houses job that pays /hr that she would like to do (Dad won’t allow her to leave). She probably won’t charge me for rent, if so maybe a couple hundred which would be fine be me if I were to get paid /hr. So I thought about getting that type of job more than what my brother pays me now by more than double. I can then save more even faster than now. Start by business investment there. Then maybe by that time if my brother is o.k. with this plan, then I can join him again or if not still partner with him if he wants to invest with me.
Then my uncle said he could get me a landscaping job. My friend was working at a construction site and so forth. All these jobs that are now available to me after I moved away is like man, got me thinking.
My goal is just to be able to pursue my own business to the point that all those small jobs are no longer necessary. Also because I am not paying bills yet so it gives me an opportunity to save up a lot and invest it. Really looking to save up around ,500-K to start investing. So its really not that much capital that you need.
In Hawaii I am stuck on the island of Maui that has no REIA clubs and so forth to help me. I can only do so much here with limited resources. I have lived here for like 4 months now and got to do a lot here. Now its just like what to do next that’ll benefit me for my future family? Is it best I stay here or take another step that’ll hopefully lead to a better position? California has a lot more resources and able to drive around vs flying back and forth which costs more.
So what would you do in my position? Stay and grow a business with a brother and hopefully IS split between both or maybe his wife included? Or go with your aunt and save up to start something of your own without knowing the outcome?
One you save slowly, while the other you save faster. One is more secure, while the other has more risk to it.
Can I claim unemployment benefits because of being transferred/demoted?
Can I claim unemployment benefits if I have to quit my job for being transferred/demoted?
There is a very good chance that a previous salesperson who lost his job at another company will be put into my position. He is a "rock star" salesmen. I am a very high caliber salesmen myself but this guy has been in the industry for 30 years.
Anyway. It appears that the owner has approached this person and he will have pick on what store he works at. If he picks my store (which he will because it is where the majority of business is conducted in the state) I will more than likely be asked to transfer to a store that is in a different city. The commute is about 55 miles a day. Add on the monstrous construction project on the major interstate for the next 2 years making my drive time about an hour each way. That is not necessarily a deal breaker but I certainly will despise the commute. I know my car will not handle this either as I have been putting many repairs into it. I have no way of moving out because I will pay much more in that city than I am now. Not to mention that if I move out, my brother will not be able to pay me back the 4k that he owes me since he will have to put that money into paying it himself.
The biggest kicker here, is that the market I would be selling in is completely dead. There have been no attempts to improve it and I would basically be in the "arm pit" of the industry in our state (which is Utah by the way).
Are these valid reasons for unemployment to allow me benefits? If I were to attempt this move would unemployment allow me to claim after I gave it a shot and it didn’t work? Any answers will be much appreicated

news reports for january 19, 1965 in Sacramento,ca.?
looking for report about a construction worker killed in on the job cave in,by the name of Ralph Back
What action can be taken if being sued for defamation of character and slander?
My father is in the construction buisness. He has been doing a job for a person since before thanksgiving of 2010. It is a big project requiring alot of materials. This person has not payed him for his work as of yet today. My father had to put a lean on the building so that this person would pay him his money so he could get the materials to finish the job. He went to the owner of the residence to tell them the reason he put the lean on the building was because the person had not yet paid him for he job.The person was outraged and is now threatining to sue my father for defamation. What action can be done?
I was a pipefitter in Texas until last week. They replaced me with a mexican immigrant pipefitter. Now what?
I have been a pipefitter in the oil and gas construction business for 22 years in Texas. I was making a good salary at about ,000 year.
Last week, they let some of us go on a job we were doing in western Texas.
This week, they hired several mexican nationals to do the jobs we had been doing. They are working for about 25 to 30% less than we were.
No what am I supposed to do? I was born and raised in this country and still have two kids in high school. All of my wages stayed in our economy. I’m pretty sure a lot of the money I used to earn will now leave the country.
I’m going to tell my story to the news. I’ll find another job, but this is not a good sign for Texas. Immigration is killing us.
Both… Been doing this what seems like forever…. Sorry for the confusion/ But, Thanks for the fans!!!
Construction & contract help!!!! Can he do this?
i am a contractor, just started working for myself and i just had a job building a gable roof over a concrete slab, making ans open pavilion like ares.
the old man who i did the job for also has a son-in-law who does construction, but didn’t wanna do the job, so that where i came in.
well the home owner signed a contract (on i picked up at staples). this contract outlined the basic of what i was building, and what kind (sizes of lumber), type of shingles, ans siding and soffit color.
I was to do all of the framing, roofing soffit, siding, and finish metal. the whole thing for ,000 material and labor.
well the home owner was happy as could be during the first 5 days, then we had the weekend off, all the framing was done and the roof was on, all that was left was the finish work (siding soffit, and metal work). so we come back to work Monday and now the son-in-law has told the home owner all the little things he would have done another way and or things to add on, and the home owner is going over these with me, some of the things were no big deal; and i agreed to do his way (because i hadn’t do it yet and would not take any more time or material), but once he started wanting to make the box beam bigger around the structure, and mkeing other add-ons that not only call for more material and labor, i told him that it would cost more money, like 0-0 more for the changes. now it this time all i am owed in payment for the original contract is 00 for the homeowner. but since he didnt want to sign a modification to the contract, i had my crew continue continue with the original details of the contract. so we finish up Monday and come back Tuesday, and the home owner tells me that he doesn’t want me to do the finishing part of the job because his son-in-law told him that he would complete the job for less than what he owes me and do it with his new changes he made.
now on the job site i had extra roof shingles (that i over orders just to have if i needed them), I never noted how many sq. of shingles i would use on the project, and he is thinking that the extra 5 sq i ordered were his to keep, i told him no that they were my shingles, i told him i would leave 1 bundle for him not 15 bundles, and then he wanted me to bring him the rest of the material i ordered for the job like the siding and soffit. i told him no that he didnt buy the siding or soffit from me he signed a contract for a finished product, and if he wanted the material he would ether have to buy it off of me or allow me to complete the job. and i reminded him that his deposit and labor installment payments were non-refundible, as stated in the contract.
Can he back out of a contract like that????
Can i still get the 00 he still owes me??
to make it short he didnt allow me to finish the job and i didnt
i never stated how much material i would use. what the contract stated is what kind of material i was going to use, and the apportionment size of the structure, and type of limber (ex 2×4, 2×6, and 2×8) where they would go and things like that. I might have over ordered on shingles but under ordered on siding (to side the face of the gabled). so i could return one material and get the other, also i didnt give him a detailed breakdown of the money, just that and approximet amount was for material, and approximate amount for labor, then 10% mark up on material cost for odds and ends (material i end up needing that i didnt think of at first, and that another 10% mark up on the total cost of the project for Company profit.

help with this news article about the presidents job?
WASHINGTON — The economic stimulus package President Obama signed on Tuesday gives a huge boost to a host of social programs, research proposals and construction projects that Democrats and advocacy groups have been promoting for years.
The 7 billion stimulus legislation contains new spending on health care, education, energy and the environment, including for programs to teach math and reading in poor school districts, build high-speed rail systems, study disease prevention, weatherize homes and more.
"We’re putting Americans to work doing the work that America needs done in critical areas that have been neglected for too long," Obama said in Denver, as he signed into law what he called "the most sweeping economic recovery package in our history."
^_^ okay i chose this article for my class to read because everyone has to choose an article about the president doing his job.
Do you think this is a good pick or should i find something else but i can’t be very long it has to be a paragraph or lower.
>.< last time i handed in a article for checking i got it wrong because Obama was not doing his job in the article i guess so yeah.. i hope this is right
Thanks
