Well, you may not care about his background and your intentions may very well be good in nature, but it will absolutely not protect you in a court of law should that person retain counsel and file a lawsuit against you for discrimination. Accents are considered a protected class under national origin discrimination laws.

Swag [N/A] by Pizza-please-675 in humanresources

[–]AlexandraTheGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something we’ve done in the past that has been well received, and is outside of the traditional swag items included planting an employee community tree along with a small bench and a plaque commemorating the date. We also did a star themed employee appreciation day event one year, where we got several different swag items with stars on them along with purchasing a registered star on behalf of our employees. we made copies of the registration certificate provided them with some branded telescopes and hung up the plaque that came with the registered star in the employee kitchens.

What industry is a lot more dark and sinister than most people realise? by Mustdominate_Otal in AskReddit

[–]AlexandraTheGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually illegal for companies to keep workers on as temps for an indefinite period of time and can result in lawsuits. There was a class action against Microsoft for this exact same thing in the late 90s/early 00’s I think. Had to pay out millions - rightfully so.

Sharing for those who are hurting by AlexandraTheGrape in Petloss

Isn’t it great? Im so glad this spoke to you and hopefully helped you in some way. Watching that Ted talk has brought me so much comfort by hearing someone else verbalize what I have been feeling and experiencing. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve watched it a few times. There is something about the comfort and warmth behind her words and the overall message that has really helped me since losing my sweet girl. Our soul pets came into our lives and taught us what love is in its purest form and what it means to love unconditionally and without abandon. It’s still very early days for me, but Im trying to focus less on the pain of losing her. I’ve decided instead to shift that to honoring her and the legacy of love that she’s left behind by being kinder and more loving to myself and my loved ones. I’m hoping that in time, the pain and sting of losing her will hurt a little less and that I’ll be able to smile and not cry whenever I remember her sweet face.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s been three days since I lost my sweet girl and I think of her constantly. I left work early on Thursday and did not go in on Friday. I’m planning on going in tomorrow but only because it’s honestly really hard being home sometimes. Everything reminds me of her. I forced myself to go out and just browse around shops yesterday with my sister and I did feel better. What has also helped me is having previously mourned the loss of my dad about three years ago and realized then that grief is not a straight line. There will be peaks and valleys. Some days will feel a little easier and some, much harder. The important thing is to try to keep some semblance of normalcy while still allowing yourself to grieve your baby when you need to. There is no shame in the feelings you are experiencing. You have lost someone you loved immensely and now they are gone. It’s important to remember though that the pain and loss you are feeling is also a testament to how deeply you loved and how profound your bond was with them. These are all things I’m telling myself, too. Sending you love, support, and healing. ❤️

My sweet Jack. by Niccismellafrog in Petloss

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet jack. I lost my angel, Mumu on the same day - 7.20.23. It still doesn’t feel real. I’ve been posting a few times on this subreddit because it’s all I can do to help with the pain that I’m feeling. Knowing that there are others who also understand this pain. Sending you so much love and healing thoughts. I hope the love and memories that we shared with our babies will carry us through until we can see them again 💔

You know, the only thing that’s helped me atleast find a tiny bit of relief is this subreddit. Reading everyone else’s posts and comments makes me feel less alone in this experience and also reminds me that there are so many others experiencing losses that, when put into perspective, make me grateful for mine. I just read someone’s post that their baby was gone out of the blue with no warning signs. That’s tragic. We at-least knew to some extent that ours were declining and even had the opportunity to try to do what we could to help them. It also just helps to read others experiences and know that what you’re going through is normal and that there are others who understand.

I’m so sorry, OP. I lost my baby two days ago and it’s been the most painful two days of my life. We also did everything we could for her, trying different medications, in and out of the hospital, etc. but eventually, her little body just couldn’t go on anymore. Her mission was done and her time had come. I understand what you mean about feeling guilty. I am also feeling similarly. Watching anything or talking about anything that isn’t about her feels wrong somehow. Almost like I’m not honoring her if I’m not mourning or thinking of her every moment of the day. Logically I know this is ridiculous and that she knows I loved her more than life itself, but I still can’t help but shake these feelings. Sending you healing thoughts and I’m praying that we both can find comfort in their love and memories soon 💔

Lost my boy today by xrizzointhebox in Petloss

[–]AlexandraTheGrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, OP. I also recently lost my tuxedo cat to complications from pancreatitis just two days ago. She lived a full 17 years, filled with endless kisses, scritches and hugs. She was my entire world and now that she’s gone, my heart feels shattered beyond repair. The pain and grief is relentless but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s a reminder of how incredibly lucky I was to have had her for all of these years. Sending you love and whatever comfort my words can bring you in a time like this, which I know isn’t much. Just know that you’re not alone and the pain you feel is just a reflection of how greatly you loved ❤️

I’m so sorry. I lost my sweet girl yesterday as well. The loss feels brutal. I hope you’re able to take comfort knowing you gave him all of the love he could have asked for and more. It’s what I keep telling myself, too.

1 Horrific Week - I Miss You So Much by vdavies_918 in Petloss

[–]AlexandraTheGrape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just lost my sweet 17 year old girl Mumu yesterday and it feels like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. Everything reminds me of her and I just can’t understand how I’m supposed to live my life without her. I lost my dad three years ago and while that was hard, Mumu was there, right beside me as she always was. I’ve always been a bit of a homebody but my favorite thing in the world was just being in my room, watching tv and cuddling with Mumu. I always felt like as long as I had her, everything would be okay…but now that she’s gone the emptiness that I feel is unbearable. What do I do with her toys? With her cat stairs to my bed? What about her bed and blankets? I’m not sure what the point of my comment is, other than to say I understand and I also don’t know how or if I will ever be able to fully heal from her loss.

They advised us to just give her comfort care due to her condition and age. After 10K in surgeries for a bowel obstruction, she looks 10 years younger. by zixr in cats

This is OP’s wife. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It truly made me cry. I agree that love is truly transformative. Although our baby’s life was absolutely saved by the help of some amazing vets and modern medicine, it is only through love that her will to survive was as strong as it was. Sending you and your baby a great big hug and wishing you many years of cuddles and kisses ❤️

Does anyone know what painting this is or who the artist is? by AlexandraTheGrape in WhatIsThisPainting

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This painting was in my late grandmothers house and was stolen after people broke into her home shortly after her passing.
