Hopefully the intimidating whole gets a karmic ass munching.
My sentiments exactly - his karma will catch up with him eventually
- but it can be really satisfying to have it happen in real time...
Sounds like extortion to me.

I would take it very seriously if he does file a complaint, which from just the fact that you haven't been employed for 3-4 years seems absurd.?ÿ
If there isn't something else going on and he does proceed I would start with my insurance carrier. They would not look kindly on a complaint like that. Plus they have attorneys that should be "free" (my liability insurance is a big bill each year) to put into action.?ÿ
Surveyors tend to think of the board in these situations, but this seems to be walking the line of criminal activity.
Frankly, a strong letter with a bull-dog attorney's letter head can defuse situations like this, if the attorney is free for you, even better.?ÿ

I agree, and I was starting to think about that more.?ÿ It was definitely an implied threat.?ÿ Too bad I destroyed the evidence.

I wouldn't sweat not having that evidence. Even if he does go to the effort to file a complaint, the board will probably dismiss it for lack of a valid reason for a complaint. He's basically asking you to rubber-stamp something.
?ÿ
The thing to watch for is that he could accuse you of other things and not even mention the current request.?ÿ We are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.?ÿ But................... anymore the mere accusation can be damaging whether it advances or not.?ÿ That rat can then spread the word that he had to file a claim with the BOR on you.?ÿ That is why you need to be proactive.
@jph Even if both parties delete the messages both carriers likely have copies.?ÿ The information coming from one of the carriers would be stronger evidence than a copy form you he could claim was altered.?ÿ An attorney may know how to request copies from your carrier.
Probably the best thing to do is just let it go and don't respond, but if they were to persist, I'd just respond that you're too busy to deal with it but you'll be happy to turn their, 'request' and the circumstances over to the BOR yourself and let them deal with it. You don't have to tell him that the message was deleted and he doesn't need to know that. Very doubtful that he would want to have to explain this conduct to them.
A few tidbits..
Boards (and agencies in general) aren't criminal authorities. I know of no jurisdiction that is allowed to share accusations falling short of a final order.
In some jurisdictions you would already have an obligation to inform the Board. Another licensee has asked you to sign work where you were not in responsible charge.
Lastly, kammah has no %=^^^^%% r in it. The American concept of 'what goes around comes around' is not the same as 'every action has an effect'.
Best of luck, Tom?ÿ
Thanks.?ÿ But just to clarify, we're talking about a project I did work on, and provided easement descriptions.?ÿ He's telling me that I didn't stamp them, and that I was contracted to stamp them.
First, I wasn't contracted.?ÿ The project contract was signed before I was even an employee there, and wasn't complete when I left.?ÿ And I've no recollection on whether I stamped them, if they were final, or just in the progress stage.?ÿ I somewhat remember them calling me soon after I left them and asking me to stamp plans that had changed, which I declined then.
Even if I'd been open to the idea now, it probably would take me several hours to a day to get back into the project enough to remember everything.?ÿ And I would need to really check to make sure the descriptions were actually written by me, etc.?ÿ I do find it hard to believe that everything has been on a shelf, intact, with nothing changing in the last 4 years.
@thebionicman I know kammah has no "r" in it but I also know there is no "k" in it. It is spelled "comma".
@jph This begs the question of why someone else can't write the easements and sign them. Do they not have another PLS on staff?
I just got a text from an engineer at a company I worked for 3-4 years ago, that he's going to file a formal complaint to the Board
LMAO, false intimidating worthless threats. You have many options to politely tell them to go, ummm "F" themselves, which may immediately alleviate the situation. A more professional approach, especially if the situation turns nasty, would be to advise your attorney to threaten the engineer and the corporation with a lawsuit. Never let threatening correspondence upset you, lt's written by paper tigers to "scare" you. ?????ÿ

@lurker?ÿ
I asked that.?ÿ Apparently they got rid of their survey department. Ha
No wonder they're looking me up
