Could I Still Get Hired If I Have Pending Charges?

I have a friend.. a woman, who was in a similar situation. It took 7 months to get everything settled and have the case against her dismissed. A lawyer took pity on her and took her case probono. She was unemployable as a cdl driver until her case was dismissed and she also lost her job at west side when she was taken to jail.. and yes it was while she was on hometime too. She was terminated for company policy violation, as she apparently didn't report it to "the correct person" within the company and had reported it only to her DM , however they did allow her to draw unemployment during that time.

So yeah, crazy stuff happens. Companies dont want to hire you on with anything pending, because, what if the case doesn't get dropped and then they have to recover their equipment.

You know I've had plenty of arguments with the wife, just like everyone else, but the moment it escalates into having the potential for cops to be called is when you need to be a gentleman and find a way to diffuse the situation. Apologize, whatever. I have learned the hard way that women are usually right so I'm going to side with her and tell you to mess with someone your own size and don't hit women - especially your wife!

Actually, according to police statistics, in cases of domestic disputes woman-on-man assaults are just as common as the other way around - and in cases of the more violent altercations, two-thirds of the time it's the women involved who start it, by their own admission.

That said, every effort should be made to avoid a dispute escalating into a physical confrontation - although if she starts to try to hit you or throw things at you, you need to deal with it. Some women are crazy.

For myself, I'm willing to apologize - but only if I believe I'm in the wrong. I will never say anything I don't believe to be true. And I will never say I'm sorry if I'm not.
