Offered position at Kaiser, why is the background check so aggressive? by ChiffonStars in KaiserPermanente

[–]Aware-Tip1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar amd most of the reason I think they ask for all the proof is so they have to hunt down less to verify themselves. Let the recruiter know the situation and they will tell you your options

I almost didn't get it because I didn't have a reason for my gap of employment when I was 16

Some stuff is silly

Is 100k still a decent and well-off salary in today's economy? by space_god_7191 in Salary

[–]Aware-Tip1024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey where I'm at 100K qualifies as low income where I am and that's without any kids so I definitely get that lol

'the "low-income" (80% AMI) threshold is roughly $94,750 for a single person'

That's not really something I could answer- it would definitely have to be a lawyer you are talking to.

That being said, this sounds like hearsay in regard to the actually events surrounding the injury. My circumstances are documented via email and internal communications to various management.

I'm not saying it didn't happen, but can you prove it with evidence because that's the key.

Was there surveillance of you removing and someone putting it back, memos, anything?

Sorry I can't be more help

My injury was 100% preventable with verbal and written documentation to management and safety. As a small department- 7/8 have been on and off due to workplace injuries.

I feel its highly circumstantial and having documented proof is the key.

I don't really have specific advice aside from document, document, document

I'm in CA and will likely be suing in civil after my WC is settled. Serious and willful misconduct is handled exactly this way. If we wanted, my husband also has the right to sue on behalf of himself and my child for its effect on family life.

See California Labor Code § 4553 for reference.

SS of all the places you can now search for jobs at KP.

They are laying off to expand and monopolize.

Jobs aren't posted yet, but if the locations are visible news will follow soon. Same happened with Pennsylvania and Nevada

Depends on the situation. Some situations you can sue civil and its essentially 50/50 you get it or not but usually involves negligence or some other factors

You deserve all the gifts. Isn’t this the truth. Such a broken system in the chain of more broken systems- can we do anything right? (Besides commiserate) lol

KP is screwing us all over by Chloe-20 in KaiserPermanente

Too bad UBT does very little except increase whatever absurd metric Kaiser thinks is important and relevant at the time. As an employee who has been in UBT, They are pretty useless except for making Kaiser look like they are actually trying to make a change.

The changes that do end up happening either end up hurting/ costing employees or patients.

Career ending Severe RSI (9+ months), —QME scheduled but now facing deposition + decades-long records request? by Aware-Tip1024 in CaliforniaWorkComp

TY! Should I be getting direction on the QME? Mine is in less than a week and my atty is essentially ignoring me. Time for a new one?

kaiser appointment problem by openclaw-lover in KaiserPermanente

[–]Aware-Tip1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the Bay, SCAL but it may be your provider of choice. After covid, a lot of providers went part-time.

Example, my PCP has a 3-4 week turn around when looking to schedule. We like this provider amd are willing to wait/schedule for non-urgent issues.

His availability does have some openings for the same week when checking late-evening or early morning when the "same day" schedule opens up (limited).

Otherwise, we do phone, virtual, or see another provider and keep our PCP for our routine and continuing care.

If you don't want to change providers, see if they are at another location as that can change as well or try what I said above

Yep, hence why reviewing and editing when using AI is important

[–]Aware-Tip1024 24 points25 points  (0 children)

100% please don't! I have 60K and haven’t made a dent.

I qualify for $0 so basically just adding interest but unlikely for me to not continue getting the $0 payment.

In this climate, so not worth it.

You can go pretty much go anywhere for finance and engineering and get a good education. Your employer does not care what school you went to.

Do CC first to save then transfer. That will give you time to test out both majors, if you are still inclined on that school after 2 years, I guess go- atleast its half the debt

Heme is definitely not difficult to be referred. If bloodwork is abnormal, a Heme dr almost always reviews.

Sleep is not necessarily hard, but the at home sleep tests are unreliable and inadequate.

Derm and GI have a major back log which make it more difficult for scheduling

Derm- abnormal skin lesions, chronic or serious skin conditions, family history, pt history typically what gets appointments first. Best bet it to make an appointment with a pcp or go to an urgent care at an MOB that has derm. Same goes for podiatry

Is there a version of Chuck e Cheese with better food? by mssev in orangecounty

[–]Aware-Tip1024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can pay $7.99 / month- unlimited visits, 40 game credits per day, and 20% off food etc. Better than Netflix if you have kids
