why is it called a "pink slip" when you get your notice for being let go from a job?

Henry Ford originally used a system to evaluate employees at the Ford Motor Company in which each worker was given a piece of paper at the end of the workday, which evaluated their performance.  A piece of white paper meant the work was acceptable, while a pink piece of paper ("pink slip") meant they were fired.

You are entitled to look for another job. \n\nIn just about any state, you have very few 'entitlements' when you voluntarily resign a job.

You have to wait until the company cuts checks (or whenever your pay period ends) and then the company will usually mail it.  It's pretty standard.  Most managers won't just cut you a check when you give your notice or on your last day.

For me it would depend on how much I like my job... If I wouldn't mind too much having to leave because of the tension caused by filing suit, I'd go to HR and a lawyer... If I really loved my job, I'd try first going to my boss and telling him that I know he's uncomfortable with what happened and that I am ,too, but that it's not fair to be treating me differently because I accidentally happened upon HIS indescretion....he may not even realize he's being a jerk. (To be on the safe side, tape this conversation without telling him, so if it's needed, you have proof of your side of the story for HR, if he apologises and stops being a jerk to you, you can always destroy the tape)

Not mine, but a friend had a horrible boss who made her type out all the letters telling some other employee's they were being made redundant. At 5 minutes before home time he came into the office and said to her 'oh by the way, you need to add your name to that list bcz we're getting rid of you too'...

Date Available to Start: After giving current employer sufficient notice.\n\nThis makes you look good, they want to see that if you were to ever leave the position you are being hired for you would give them sufficient notice.

Well I don't know what state you are in, but in some states they don't have to give a fair answer to why you were let go...\nIt is sometimes the right of the company to let you go with no warning or explanation of any kind...\n\n I went on disability leave from my job 3 years ago and my employer only held my job for 6 months waiting to see if I was getting better, and since I didn't get well, I was no longer employed...

Terminated, stopped, fired or let go without your agreement.

Could be anything from a reprimand to a promotion, to dismissal from the job.

Sounds to me like the worker has been turned into a de facto non-worker. I guess the 'stop field working' notice amounted to a 'we aren't paying' notice, and now the worker is on indefinite leave without pay.

No.  You really don't have any basis for a legal claim.  The best thing that I can recommend to you is that you contact HR and let them know about the situation and see what happens from there.  The best thing to do though would probably be to look for a new job.  \n\nInstead of asking whether it was your fault, you probably should have calmly told her why the fitting room was a mess and that since you had to leave to help out the front, you will be willing to help clean up the fitting room, but you need some help.  If you do anything to present yourself as being confrontational -- like raising your voice, as understandable as it was -- a lot of managers will react very badly to it.

That means the moving party is asking the judge to dismiss a case while leaving the door open to allow it to be re-filed in the future. \n\nA dismissal WITH prejudice is a dismissal without permission to refile.

When filling out job applications, don't be negative, but, do be honest and don't lie, because it will come back to haunt you. You can use language like "job ended" or "terminated" if you need to state why you are no longer working at the job. If you are specifically asked if you were fired, you need to answer yes. Lying on a job application is grounds for dismissal at any time in the future and could cost you future unemployment benefits.

It is much better to quit a job than be fired. If the company owes you a commission check and you have proof to support that then don't worry about your boss--go to human resources with the proof to back it up. I'm not sure what you mean when you say you have your resignation printed out so it will be on  "your terms". If you are fired first nothing will be on your terms. If you want to have a better chance of getting your commission check leave on good terms.

Yes it is. Your friend also has the right to quit his job if he doesn't like it. Although it was rude and inconsiderate of them to move him without notice, it is not illegal.

if you are doing a good job the company won't terminate you at anytime.  also, once you obtain seniority at a job or make it through their triaining or probationary period they have to have a reason to term you...which, unless you're being downsized, is a reason that YOU give them...like being late all the time or not following company policy.\n\nyou should always give your job a  2-week notice.  this is respectful because you quitting means they have to find someone to replace you, which takes time.  also, if you give them notice, then they may ask you why you are leaving and this gives you an opportunity to "fix" any issues you may be having at work and perhaps stay at your job.\n\nplus, 2-week notice allows you to make sure you are really making the right choice.  you may want to quit after a frustrating day, but who doesn't have those??  2-week notice gives you a chance to say.."hey, i'm sorry, but i changed my mind...can i keep my job.  i was just upset earlier".\n\ni hope everyone gives their employer 2-week notices, b/c i've been the employer many times and it really does put you in a bind...and i always asked that question at job interviews.  if someone told me they didn't give notice at their last job...i probably didn't hire them.  and i asked other questions, so i knew if they were lying about giving notice...i'm not dumb;)\n\ntake care.
