My boss threatened me with firing and writing an email to other businesses telling them not to ever hire me if I don’t work more hours. What can I do?
Hello. Some of the answers here have good advice, others are quite useless. No emotions are needed, just factual information. Do you have a contract? If so, what are the terms of employment? How many hours are stipulated? How is overtime discussed? Aside from the Federal labor laws your state’s labor laws will have significant impact. Is this an “at will” state (meaning employment is “at the will” of each party and you can be fired at anytime, but you can also leave at any time). There are rules governing overtime, but you do not mention if you are part-time or full-time. SO, take one example: You only work one day a week as a cashier and they want you to work more hours…but you have another job also, you might not be in a position to negotiate. HOWEVER, when the boss told you that he would send an email to other businesses, etc., etc…. then he violated the law. I know I sound harsh but the responsible thing to do - for everyone’s benefit (if you think about the larger picture of society in general) - is to burn him. Get a lawyer and sue him and the company and get a new job. If you are full time and they want more hours then they would have to pay you overtime. Good luck!!
Suspected guideline violation?
From the Help pages on "suspected guidelines violations": "Cause: Yahoo! Groups now requires all incoming email to be authenticated by the sender’s email provider. This is a recent change which has greatly reduced the amount of spam posted to groups. Unfortunately, this change causes some legitimate emails to be blocked. If you are using an external email application (Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Incredimail, etc.), alternate webmail service, bulk-mailer, browser add-on, or scheduled email service to send email: External email applications (such as Windows Live Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, Incredimail, etc.) configured with an incorrect or non-authenticated SMTP email server may result in delivery failure. This may impact customers previously able to send email to Yahoo! Groups without issue. > To ensure your messages are delivered to your groups, learn about using properly authenticated email to send messages to Yahoo! Groups. If none of the above solutions address or resolve this issue: If you have the option and haven’t already done so, try re-sending the same exact message through the webmail service affiliated with your email address. Webmail messages should always be properly authenticated and deliverable as long as they do not contain “spammy” content. If you receive the same delivery failure notification, our spam filters may have detected a “false-positive” message. Occasionally in our efforts to make Yahoo! Groups a more secure and spam-free service, we may incorrectly classify some mails as spam. We regret every such instance. If you intended to send an email to Groups and received the delivery failure message due to a possible spam-filtering error, please contact our Customer Care team."

Why was Narayan Murthy having a problem with Vishal Sikka if at all?
Infosys tagline is “Powered by intellect, driven by values”. If anything is rated highly about infosys in the market, its the values it possesses and the corporate governance that has been there since it became a public company.It was governed by all of the infosys founders before Vishal Sikka took over as the first non-founder CEO in 2014. Infosys was going through a rough patch and founders were looking for an innovative and proven leader. Sikka’s academic success and credentials at SAP looked impressive therefore he was chosen to lead an organization of infosys’s size. Everything seems perfect? Not quite.As I stated in the beginning, infosys tagline is “Powered by intellect, driven by values”. His credentials as a stanford PHD and success at SAP ensured his intellect stood out however he came from a liberal background working in USA for most of his career which is exponentially opposite to the traditional values of infosys.Apart from that there is a likelyhood that he mistook his experience in west where executive freedom is nearly guaranteed as a benchmark for what to expect at infosys.Entered SikkaLoosened the office dress code, gave away Iphones.Infosys had a reputation of under-promising and over-delivering however Sikka set a target of 20 billion by 2020 which looked all but impossible and infosys is all set to miss that target by an embarrassing margin.And then the pay hike which he and his board took when most of the other employees got below average hike and some didn't get it at all.All of it elevated and Narayan Murthy started criticizing board’s decisions publicly and then we all know how it ended.
