I like how you threw in the House referrence to throw off any doubts about your speaking from personal experience.

I can't believe that they actually OK'd a sick leave without a doctor's note explaining the issue. Something doesn't add up here.
[/quote] They did it in "good faith". And I'm not lying about any of this. The fact is, I cant provide a sick note, and I WONT quit. So I am just waiting to see where things go.[/quote]You were sick for several weeks and didn't see a doctor? Why were you really missing?

I’ll give credit where it is due. It was funny. The syphillis, not the grammar.

Spyphilis, you spelled syphilis wrong.
Well, that's two of you that have evidently had a script written for that illness. Do you think? No, surely not.[quote=Spaceman Spiff]I’ll give credit where it is due. It was funny. The syphillis, not the grammar. [/quote]

Can't you just give credit where it's due?
[quote=Spaceman Spiff]I caught the Spyphilis remark. It was pretty funny too. [/quote]
Thank you.
I’m not sure what is funnier, a newbie asking for advice from Bobby or the syphillis stuff.

This thread is hilarious!!! WHAT WAS THE "SELF-DIAGNOSED" ILLNESS?
[/quote] Acute Depression, keep laughing.How did you overcome it?
Mine dates back to October 9, 2007, and I can't seem to shake it.[quote=rockhorse]I went on an allowed, self-diagnosed sick leave for a few weeks. I call to come back to work, and they say I can’t return without a doctor’s note. So my only option is to provide documentation, or to resign.
I like EJI a lot, and I really want to continue my employment with them. So I really don't know what to do. I would also like to mention that they've asked me to resign 3-4 times over the past two days. Which I have continued to decline.[/quote] OK, so what your trying to tell us is that you're mad at Jones because they won't let you come back to work without a doctor's note for a self-diagnosed bout of acute depression. So, when you started this leave of absence for this self-diagnosed bout of acute depression, who gave you permission to do so? Did you just decide yourself to stop working one day? Did someone from Jones sign off on your absence? Did they not explain that you would need a letter from a doctor to return to work? How do they know that you weren't taking a disallowed vacation to the Bahamas for two weeks and are really just telling them that you were home "sick"? What's the big deal about going to your doctor and getting a note that says you're good to come back to work? Perhaps the rules in Canada are different than here in the States, but we don't just get to declare that we're taking a leave of absence for a self diagnosed illness. We might have sick days that we can use, but if it's going to be something longer than that we typically have to have some documentation BEFORE we take the days. And we have to have a doctor sign off that we're OK to come back to work. My suggestion: Get the stupid doctor's note or just quit. If I were you I'd pick the latter. My LP will thank you for it.[quote=Borker Boy]How did you overcome it?
Mine dates back to October 9, 2007, and I can't seem to shake it.[/quote] That's easy. Move all your American Funds to tax free bonds. You'll be back to normal before the middle of the summer. That will be $5000 for my unprofessional diagnosis of your self diagnosed illness. You can pay me out of your HSA.[quote=Borker Boy]How did you overcome it?

[quote=Broker64]Yes, I got the letter for $65,000! Explained to their lawyer I was terminated but allowed to resign. So I talked to one securities lawyer (who would cost $500 an hour) and he said keeping my U4 as voluntarily resigned has to be worth something and his thought was it could be resolved in a couple phone calls. And might be zero but probably closer to $5,000. EDJ might seem like the nice little mom & pop local brokerage firm, but really they are this huge corporate machine and you’re just a number to them. You have to sign the contract to be hired, you must go through their required training to be employed, and beware if it doesn’t work out (even if you were already were licensed for years before joining the green machine). They WILL come after you for their training costs if you “insist” on keeping your Series 7. [/quote]
So if you get fired, you lose your Series 7? (what about 66 and L&H insurance?)
and how exactly does “being terminated but allowed to resign” happen? I thought it was either or.
You don’t lose your S7 simply because you get fired. You can go apply at another firm and tell them you’re S7 licensed. If you don’t go to another firm who will hold your license, then after a while your license will lapse.
Terminated, but allowed to resign is a nice way of telling you you're fired, but we don't need to send you off like that, so we'll allow it to look like your decision. It'll look better on his resume if it looks like his idea to leave.[quote=Spaceman Spiff]

I wonder if being "terminated but allowed to resign", is a way for them to still legally pursue you for 75 g's. IF "terminated but allowed to resign" = you terminating the employment , then you're still on the hook. Screw that I'd take a little blemish on my resume instead.
