Weve just set up a new sender and reciever to send our sky to the other room. The sender is in our front room downstairs and the reciever is in the back room downstairs. We have the picture and sound and the remote is working but we are getting interference. I dont think its the wireless internet signal. We dont have the microwave on and we have tried turned the digital landline phone off but nothing has helped. We have also tried all four channels on the sender and reciever but to no avail. Any other ideas what it could be? Many thanks.
Heavy use of the oven for a month has probably aged a component prematurely, like the igniter nozzle. If the furnace and oven are both gas, most likely your gas utility will send someone out for troubleshooting and simple repairs, free of charge. They *want* you to use gas.
I applaud your actions, but the management's position is probably that clerks should not do such things for insurance and legal reasons. Plus, you no doubt live an at-will employment state, so they can pretty much fire you for any reason. ( I'm not sure that there are any states that are not at-will employment states, though). Move on would be my advice. Workers in the US have very little protection against such villianous doctrines.
Unfortunately this exact incident happened to a friend of mine at a very large retail chain. Although the police report stated unequivocally that he had acted appropriately under the circumstances, he was fired as well, because of liability issues. It makes no sense, but the thief can sue your former company for personal injury damages from being apprehended in such a manner. And the problem is, the company could be liable for thousands or even millions stemming from such a suit if they allowed you to keep your job, because that implies consent to allowing unnecessary force or brutality from their employees. By firing you, they are protecting themselves by making a definitive statement that whatever injuries the thief sustained, happened because the employee was acting entirely independently and went completely against their store policy, and therefore if the thief chooses to sue for personal damages, the company is therefore not liable. It really bites, but unfortunately that is the reality of the situation, and you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The best you can do in this case is to take it as a learning experience and when you are hired at the next place and given a written offer, to make sure you get a written policy on what to do if you witness a shoplifter. In the meantime, if this job is that important to you, I would definitely get a copy of the police report and file a grievance with the labor board. I don't think it will help, but it will serve as a record for your next position that will actually make you look good.
