Getting "served" at work.

I have seen it done to my coworker a few years back. It was for a custody hearing. If the cop is cool, he'll pull you to the side. Personally, if I had to serve some papers, I'd try to do it in private.

Didn't Carter work security? If so, I think PPOs might be a clause in the contract he probably signed. In other words, you can't have those kinds of things on your record to work that particular position.

I was under the impression that he worked freelance as a contractor of sorts. So when she had the receptionist give the restraining order papers to his client, he lost a potential gig to offer his services. I didn't think he actually worked for that firm and he was fired. The film sucked.

Most states are at will. This means you can quit whenever you want, without needing to give a reason. Further, you can be terminated at any time.
Having an employee served at work would definitely be reason to shake an employers confidence in them.
That was the case the first time.
the second time she just had her evidence file against him delivered to the boss, that's when he got fired.


As for why serve at work, sometimes that is the only place someone can be tracked down to be served. And yes, some people prefer it that way, some people are horrible.

He was wrong for stalking her! I knew a person that was served at his grandmother's funeral.

I thought he was served at HER job. His job was selling his consulting services to companies, and the guy he was selling to seemed to be HER boss and HER office.

This was the last straw because he was now at her office a second time after she told him not to come back, so she had him served. I recall the cop didn't seem to think she needed the restraining order when she first went to the police, but this was now enough to make the cop take her seriously since he was trying to embed himself at her job.
