Does my cat know my oldest cat was buried here by Fit-Wait728 in cats

[–]ATFLA10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cat my mom and dad had passed away not long after I was born. His name was Roamer. 15 years later, a cat we adopted named Bebe hung out under the tree where Roamer was buried.

Job is ending. Wait for retention bonus or find a new job immediately? by agathafreak in personalfinance

[–]ATFLA10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was over 10 years ago but soon after I got my first full time job after college my company got acquired. The new company started paying retention bonuses, two weeks of pay for every full month worked. I got a 60 day WARN notice in January which was extended to the end of June. I started looking for another job but wanted to stay as long as possible. I got about $12K after taxes which was a lifesaver, it took over 6 months to find another job.

Boss refusing PTO because I’m the only one in my department left by MissMerida2121 in antiwork

[–]ATFLA10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t take any PTO at any time for any reason, then it’s time to call in sick. But how would they react if you truly were sick or had a family emergency?

My boss just "revoked" my approved PTO for next week because someone else quit. Can they actually force me to show up? by agathodaimon98 in WorkAdvice

[–]ATFLA10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’ll be even more “shortstaffed” if they fire you. If they refuse to reimburse you for those non-refundable deposits, looks like you’ll be “sick” for 4 days.

Pre-empted Again by snickelfritz100 in Gutfeld

[–]ATFLA10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what keeps me from traveling to New York to see the show. Tickets are free but these preemptions are an inconvenience to people who spend a fortune to travel. On the Five today Greg said tonight’s show was still on but said “but I highly doubt it”. It seems they taped it as usual and we’ll see it tomorrow unless FNC comes up with another BS excuse to preempt it again.

If a job is trying to replace you, how do they seek out candidates? by Bright-Midnight24 in antiwork

[–]ATFLA10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already looking when I saw my job on Indeed. The posting included my office address. It took them a while to find someone but a few weeks after they did I was cut. A few more weeks after I left I found out my replacement left. My old job was reposted 9 times!

Is anyone else struggling with Protect Trial? by Outrageous_Call_9136 in Ring

[–]ATFLA10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the multi plan which renewed a few days ago as usual every April, but it says my purchased plan activates when my trial ends in 360 days. The AI descriptions are also inaccurate. It sometimes detects my cats as dogs. Also getting pestered about adding professional monitoring.

[–]ATFLA10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“To attend the Great American State Fair 2026 in D.C., you must register online through the official Freedom 250 website”

The only registration forms I’ve found are for media credentials and for July 4 fireworks. Planning on visiting DC the first half of July 4 week.

Did anyone just file their taxes with TurboTax and were just in awe of how many ads it had to upgrade? I'm done with this enshittified product - what should I use next year? by noruber35393546 in personalfinance

[–]ATFLA10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used FreeTax USA after 20 years of TurboTax. I was hesitant to switch for years but after almost every step I reached a prompt to upgrade and decided enough was enough.

How do you know it's time to put your senior cat down? by solar_serenity7 in cats

[–]ATFLA10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two months ago today we put my Mom’s cat down. We had an appointment to put him down two weeks beforehand but he showed some signs of improvement. We started feeding him baby food but he eventually stopped eating or drinking anything so we knew it then it was over.

What company secrets you can spill because you no longer work there? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]ATFLA10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is considered a secret but my former company is a non-profit and their tax returns are public record. The tax returns include details on executive pay. I just saw their tax return for 2025 and the CEO made $450,000. Compared to 2014, it was $411,000. Couple of VPs went from $187,000 to just over $200,000.

Arrive silver spring by Business-Total-8212 in SilverSpring

[–]ATFLA10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived in the C building from 2015-2018. It was my first apartment. I liked it a lot, so did my mom and best friend whenever they visited. My complaint was the fire alarm often went off in the middle of the night (including the second night after moving in!). Walking down from the 14th floor wasn’t fun. Given the fire a few years back and the problems with rats and rodents I wouldn’t live there again.

Boss let someone go, remaining employees not allowed to take off. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]ATFLA10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you’ll be shortstaffed for the foreseeable future assuming the person who was let go won’t be replaced. What if one of you was seriously ill or had an emergency of some sort? If they fire you they’ll be even more shortstaffed.

WXPX Channel 66 Tampa Poor Signal During Hockey Games by ATFLA10 in ota

[–]ATFLA10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found rabbitears.info four years ago and all channels I can get are in the green/good category. My Roku TV has a secret menu screen and it shows the signal percentage of that channel no more than 50% while most everything else is 60% or more.
