r/Prorevenge Bully Me? I'll Send You to Jail!

Tim is the definition of “know your worth and don’t settle.” The man literally made the CEO fly out to Michigan, got Larry shipped off, AND walked away with a 15% raise. That’s not just big brain energy, that’s galaxy brain energy. Honestly, I love stories where the company realizes real quick just how much one talented person actually contributes. Respect. 🙌

You don’t need permission from your boss to move states, but you do need to notify them. Payroll taxes for remote employees can be applicable for both states, EE’s residence and work location, if the states don’t have an agreement. Most states don’t, unless they are close neighbors, such as NY/NJ. It’s on the employer to set up, withhold, & pay, which can cause problems for both employee & employer if it’s not done, especially once year end tax forms go out, like W2’s and state income tax filings. Just another perspective to consider!

I didn't see anybody else note this, but in Story 1, Tim would have at least had to inform the Payroll/HR team of his move - taxes are different from state to state and companies have to know how to apply those different rules. It might not have gotten to his manager, though, if the hedge fund was siloed enough.

For the first story... employers *have* to know which state you are living in if you are working from home since they have to comply with that state's employment laws including filing taxes. By doing this, this 'smart' programmer likely screwed up his tax returns for that year and could have put the company in a legal bind.

Story 2: Never leave your plate on a car when you sell it. Ever. It belongs to you. Not to the car. You can even have the DMV transfer that plate to another car in their system. This also forces the buyer to go to the DMV to register the car or risk getting pulled over without tags. And if the buyer complains, don't sell it to them. Edit: I understand not all states have the same laws. And it sucks if you live in one of those states. That means you have to trust in the competence of beaurocracy to not get screwed. No thanks.

Car story: that’s why my aunt and I went to the DMV together to complete the bill of sale when I bought her old car. Not because I’d do it intentionally, I’m just forgetful + have executive dysfunction problems. 😅

I realize the manager was just an asshole, but it is a big deal to move states lol taxes are incredibly different, and work from home laws can make some states almost impossible to operate in. There’s a reason it’s almost impossible to find WFH jobs in certain states because companies say it’s not worth it

You don’t need to ask the company’s permission to move states. You need to *inform* them and ask if you can still be employed. as someone who works for a company that lets us work from home, I know firsthand that the company will not employe from certain states if the labor laws disagree with the company’s bottom line. (also, y’know… mail and stuff)

story 2: here, once the seller 'disposes' of the vehicle, the new buyer has 14 days to file the paperwork to 'take possession', if they do not, the registration is canceled. most cop cars around here have cameras that are constantly scanning plates and sets off an alarm if it see's an unregistered car (or owned by someone with a disqualified license, a warrant or what have you). there is no way you would be able to get away with driving an unregistered vehicle that long around here.

It's absolutely insane some people think they are immune from any consequences but it's satisfying AF when they are forced to face the music. The shocked Pikachu face never disappoints lol
