Identity Theft: Seeking Legal Recourse and Answers
A law firm in Ohio experienced a network hack, resulting in personal information, including the listener's name and social security number, being obtained by an unauthorized actor. The firm has refused to provide answers, leaving the listener frustrated. It is suggested to review Ohio's rules of professional conduct and consider reporting the firm to the state's board of professional conduct to prompt action. Exploring the option of hiring a class action attorney, who could pursue a settlement on behalf of all affected parties, could also be worthwhile. Additionally, reaching out for legal advice and assistance can help navigate potential legal recourse and further engagement with the law firm.

It is suggested to take time apart to process emotions and gain clarity. Reflection and open communication with the girlfriend about the situation and underlying issues are important. However, rebuilding trust would require significant work and a willingness from both parties to address the root causes of the infidelity.

Balancing Profit and Morality in Organizations

However, they feel defeated as little has changed since their promotion and the company is becoming focused on profit over ethics. They wonder if there is a way for organizations to strike a balance between give and take. While it is true that all companies exist to turn a profit, it is possible to find companies that prioritize values and the well-being of employees. The listener should consider if their current company aligns with their values and explore opportunities with organizations that better reflect their ideals.
Dealing with a Toxic Family Business Situation

It is important for the listener to prioritize their own and their business's well-being, and not let their stepdad's actions dictate their decisions.

Guilt over stealing from your dad under the thrall of addiction also makes you ponder how his actions influenced your addiction. How do you come to grips with your past to break the cycle of affliction (especially now that the cost of therapy surpasses your budget)?
Can you restore trust to a relationship once infidelity and lies are introduced? Perhaps it's more important to wonder: Should you even try?
Do you have legal recourse against a law firm that somehow leaked your personal information in an online data breach — although you never did business with them or gave them the info in the first place, and they refuse to answer your inquiries? [Thanks to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us with another sticky situation!]
After running the family dojo during your stepfather's cancer treatment and his subsequent surprise departure, he's returned, accusing you and your mother of theft while poaching clients for his own dojo. Do you sever ties, pay the six figures he claims he's owed, or intervene on behalf of his seemingly slipping mental health?
You joined your current company because of its values and mission to help people, but you've seen those values shift since the death of its founder. Now the financial bottom line always trumps morality. Is there a way for an organization to strike a balance between give and take? Or should you simply give up and become another cog in the machine?
