So your saying its legal and ethical to strong arm people into stamping? Its you they should not be taking advice from if you are suggesting people do illegal or unethical things.

Cool you realize that there is potential jail time if you are found neglegent and your stamp is on something, you dont post like a PE or act like a professional.
Let me just say that no one is strong arming me into stamping anything. There has just always been a verbal agreement that in exchange for stamping drawings, that I either design or oversee the design of (since I got tasked with more responsibilities as well) there would be extra compensation. It appears that they are reneging on me. I guess it works out better for them if I have all of the responsibility without any of the compensation.

Just continues to prove that either you're 12 or you're an idiot. never mind, even a 12 year old can figure that one out. You're the latter.

He is not a troll. He just likes to have fun posting...whatever is called what he posts.
Besides that, I am not sure he will understand what a troll is.

Disbarred isent that for lawyers? Im not following you. If they threatened to fire you for not stamping something and you have voice recording or email or someother such thing you can sue there a** and the person who made the threat may even face criminal penalties/jail time, the PE exists to protect public safety and if someone is trying to extort someone into stamping something thats bad mojo.

I know a guy who was disbarred for not stamping stuff. He was pretty much unable to find any position after that.
I was really worried RG was gonna find himself in the wrong boat.

I am only posting this for people that might stumble upon this thread. I know most of you are licensed so you understand these laws perfectly well:
All the drawings and calculations you do (at least in every state I am familiar with) need to have at the minimum a stamp on them. States differ somewhat, but say you make a preliminary drawing for review, strictly following the rules means you add your stamp, but it would not need to be signed and dated. And really this is a good thing for us licensed engineers, the more a stamp becomes the standard for every design and drawing the better it is to have a license. It effectively raises the bar on engineering work and mostly I agree with it.
However, all record drawings would need a stamp and signature/date.
BUT, if you did not do the design work on a drawing you do not need to stamp it, in fact most states have laws that specifically forbid you to stamp any work that isn't your own. So if you refuse to stamp something you did not do, I can't see the State Board trying to take away your license.
