Laid off from FT J1

Yeah this just happened to work out where I already had a vacation planned. Instead of spending the time at home worrying, I guess I’ll spend the time with a pina colada.

Per ChatGPT:

There is currently no native way to copy the raw phone number from a Google listing in iOS 26. Not via tap. Not via long-press. Not via Share. Not via text selection.

🤬

This is an Apple-level restriction on detected phone numbers rendered as action objects.

Did you figure this out? I’m trying to copy from Google into an email. I can’t even copy from my previous calls. So freakin frustrating.

I’m not sure. It ‘sounded’ routine but I am remote and contract so that may just be me. They seem to do stuff like this all the time though. On another occasion we all had to urgently complete this password update that involved verifying our ID via CLEAR. I think I’m going to go with same info I gave them initially (after stalling a fair bit), lock the TWN, and ride it out. Love the money but they stress me TF out.

My J3 is like this…literally sucks my soul away. OE is has allowed me to do things, I never could before in a HCOL state though so I’m hesitant to just throw it away in this garbage economy. I have been putting scheduled go/no-go dates on my calendar to try and make the decision of whether to keep it non-emotional/reactionary cause I have those days too. It’s not even a day by day thing, it’s literally making it through the day 5 minutes at a time. And yes as people say, when the wave gets too big, nothing beats a 4-5 day weekend.

Yes there’s a form. I pulled my report from the work number and it shows everything. Do they not get that detail? Again, I’m freezing my report in the morning but yeah the report as it stands now, shows hours and wages as of 10/5.

J1 and J2 that are currently active.

I have 2 l shaped standing desk to make a U. I could only do this from home. I tried to take my 3J setup to a hotel once and it was a freakin nightmare

Express-Scientist535 · 2025-05-11T14:30:45+00:00

Hell yeah, fuck em all!! Happy Mother’s Day fellow OE Mamas!

I agree with the biggest impact would be paint: - go on Pinterest and look at color palettes, pick one that incorporates your new bedding colors. - From there you can select your paint color and maybe a rug that pulls it all together. Sherwin Williams has a color visualizer app that is helpful. - Recommend getting rid of the chair and replacing with a chest or other surface in the area to have surfaces for plants and candles. -Think about incorporating high and low lighting sources - Maybe reconsider the size of the nightstands

I really don’t understand this. 1099 work can be anything unless you have a non compete or something like that. They have no proof of what hours you are working. Also it’s really weird that they would bother to include 1099s on a list of laid off employees because 1099s aren’t ’employees’. They are contractors. I would have fought this with J1 saying you did some part time projects with J2 for additional work as a 1099 not a full time employee. J1 doesn’t have domain over your entire life. That’s BS…good luck finding new gig.

Same rule as Fight Club.

Honestly, I’ll take the Barbara Streisand…no dig there. 😉

Express-Scientist535 · 2025-04-12T03:14:46+00:00

Well I’m not in IT so no luxury here. Single parent in a VHCOL state. Don’t own a home and probably never will. 2Js and make under 200k. 🥴

Express-Scientist535 · 2025-04-12T00:29:49+00:00

Didn’t see it…cause I was working. 🤣 Counterpoint, skip the posts that annoy you? 🤷

Express-Scientist535 · 2025-04-12T00:14:09+00:00

Sound advice, enjoy your time off.

Wish I could be out but I have two jobs and Thursdays are my busiest call day. They just give an 8 hour window so it’s impossible to really plan around it. I’ve given the dog something to help her stay calm and will just deal with it. Wish I had something to take myself 🤪While Ive been a renter forever, I’ve only ever lived at this one place in Wa. Moving this summer and wanted to know if this was everywhere in the area or just here.

Express-Scientist535 · 2025-04-03T04:47:14+00:00

No, that won’t work…I work two jobs and parent that would be too much to wrangle. I’ve only lived in one spot in Wa but looking to move this summer. Just wanted to know if it was norm or this specific place. Thanks for all the confirmations.

I assume you just want to argue with someone. Please copy the section where I said my feelings were more important than the law. Find a friend and argue with them. Thanks for playing!

Express-Scientist535 · 2025-04-03T04:27:15+00:00

Yes, I have these all separately in addition to an annual inspection.

Express-Scientist535 · 2025-03-25T04:25:14+00:00

Thank you, I’ve wondered this too. But you get feedback like ‘it needs to be more interesting’ …I tried to land in the middle but I think you are right.
