Google makes the picture look way rosier than my anecdotal opinion.

I came here to post this article. Glad I searched before posting. Dear Costco, please fuck the Trump administration anally with the barbed wire wrapped dildo of courtroom justice.

What makes you believe this?

I also get that some people learn better by hearing things verbally as opposed to seeing/reading information. I don't mind clarification call backs, as in, a person leads the conversation with, "This is what I read, am I understanding it correctly?" It's the calls where it's clear there was no effort to even skim the original communication that make me want to flip my desk.

No, but I often imagine reaching through the computer screen to have my hand emerge from their monitor in the style of The Ring to vigorously pimp slap them.

Have the life you voted for Kesilisms. MAGA beta importing a foreign wife because American women aren't interested in raising a man child.

I spent a year living in Tulsa on south gilete ave, the only redeeming quality was the sonic like 6 blocks away.

I'm from NYC. I miss good public transportation, museums, and nightlife.

Lots of PTSD from being sold for sex by my parents.

I already do this. I email my boss summaries of the tasks I finish, and ask if he would rather I prioritize something different, and I keep a spread sheet going with the time I spend on tasks.

I work for the legeslature, so there are actually state laws on the books about every aspect of our jobs, OT, PTO, ect. We don't qualify for FMLA. After burning through all our accrued time due to illness, we can apply for extra paid sick time. We do have paid family leave, which is like FMLA to care for family, and that is at 60% salary as needed, and we also have parental leave when you adopt/make a baby, 12 weeks at 100% salary.

Because a new boss could be worse than the current boss, and I don't want a target on my back. It's chill here otherwise.

If this is true, holy shit. I once dated a woman 16 years older than I was, I was 26. She had 4 kids ranging from 8, 17, 19, 20. I never attempted to parent the older 3 kids, and they never asked me my age; it was an unspoken agreement. I did parent the 8 year old. The older kids asked for my help a handful of times over the 7 years I was a part of their family, and I happily helped them and stepped up when I could. They were shocked I helped. I was like look, I'm not your parent, I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, but you are still family and I got your back.

In retrospect, it was a pretty unhealthy relationship, but I was dumb in many ways in my 20s.

I work for our elected officials. We have our own lawyers for ethics issues, and they are in the process of being notified. It's likely they will put out an internal memo to remind everyone. This isn't the first time it's happened in our agency. Our agency allows women 4 hrs off to get a breast cancer screening, and men 4 hrs off to get a prostate screening. I had an elected official refusing to sign a time sheet because they felt 4 hours was excessive. I told that elected official they were in a position to effect actual change of the law, and until then, the ethics lawyers would be in contact. What will likely happen, is that Ethics, legal, and payroll will correct the time sheet after the fact, and refund me those hours.

Sometimes, burning a bridge lights the way forward. I have rage quit jobs before and had new jobs within 2 weeks - 3 months. I always have $ saved for expenses, so even my rage quits had contingencies in place. Aside from this one thing, which pissed me off, this is the first time I have ever felt angry here. I am being overworked, but I've gotten sizable raises in appreciation. This is a good enough job that I haven't reached a point where I'm willing to throw it all away.

Heh. I posted one right before I posted this rant.

Yes, I did. I spoke to payroll after this happened, and they offered to have our legal team reach out to Paul. I told payroll I didn't want to rock the boat, and that in the future I would just not work OT. I said if they want to educate Paul regarding time/attendance/payroll policies they should not do so on my behalf. (I work in a human resources, this shit is in our handbook. I'm not taking action related to this issue until I have a new job. I'm looking.)

The rich have answered this already. The answer is fuck off and die.
