It gets easier when you think of things like “Big Business” or “Humanity.”
Working for the government does tend to drain humanity, I've seen first hand.
When I worked for the government, as a contractor, I was paired with a Fed who was constantly going on and on about some conspiracy theory or another that "they" in the "government" were doing. I was like "dude..that's you. You're the government." He couldn't grasp the concept.
This probably doesn't help in several ways - because IANAL, IANAmerican, and I'm suggesting a path y'all may not be interested in.
What the fuck? People are pretending to be our cats now?
Same here. I'm in my mid thirties and I still order drinks that sound like MLP characters.
Get on my wife's level, her favorite is a local drink called Anal Sex With a Unicorn.
This is not the My Little Pony I remember from my childhood.
You wanna know what's hilarious? She's the only employee in the state of Oregon.
How can that possibly be legal? I have to go back and have like a third and fourth read of your first post.[DOUBLEPOST=1518065312,1518064884][/DOUBLEPOST]
So let me get this straight, if I need to have a medical appointment at 10:00 am, I can come in an hour early and then leave for an hour during the day - and that's ok? (This scenario doesn't offend me)
Paid time off/vacation is not required by law. Most employers, however, provide it to stay competitive with other employers.
Assuming you mean Long Term Disability, here, that's insurance. It's usually part of the health insurance package that employers provide as part of a full time employee's compensation package.
Every single salaried employee spent the last three months of 2017 taking as much time off as they could, because on 1/1/18 it went away. It didn't get paid out, or rolled into a time-off bank, or anything like that. Just gone. Use it or lose it and never get it again. They've also started mass layoffs on a "first in first out" basis - even as managers beg and plead to let them cut dead weight employees that are making 6 figure salaries and keep the newer, cheaper employees who actually do their jobs; they've just outsourced a major component of their business to the Philippines with no oversight or planning. One of the more confusing things though, is that they don't seem to be doing anything at all to enforce their sales staff's non-compete clause, so a lot of their sales staff is leaving for the competition and taking their customer lists with them, and a substantial amount of business has been lost in the last year. They also failed/refused to pay out commission for the sales staff for 2017 (apparently they would hold commission until the end of the year, and this year they just decided not to pay it at all), so most of them have either quit or are in the process of filing claims for withheld wages. It's a colossal cluster fuck - but part of the reason we moved way the hell down here is that we don't have to rely on my wife working for this company in order to survive, even if we both have minimum wage jobs we can pay the bills and anything over minimum means we have savings for the first time in ages.
If this were a building, I'd suspect arson for the insurance money. Reads like they're intentionally trying to destroy their own company.
Or one of those things where someone from outside buys a company, drains off the cash reserves, and then lets the remaining husk collapse in on itself and die.
It's funny you should mention those theories. Especially considering that all of this started right after a new investment company took majority ownership of the company.
I have to put the response to this in a different thread.
So THAT's what happened to Chrissy.
