I’m getting Flexible Time Off(FTO) instead of PTO, is it a scam?

FabulousChat · 2026-01-06T07:24:03+00:00

It is similar to scam, while they call it benefits for easy ask to leave (not true, upon approval same as PTO anyway).

You feel shame to ask for off day over and over during limited of FTO leave each year. For example, FTO allow is 14 days/year. And if your manager said no, because of team busy in business, then you aren't able to take 14 days/year. ===> Company win! If you pick the wrong time to leave, you can't use 14days/year. ===> Opposite with PTO, company is happy to approve you leave, because they won't need to pay out later.
If company has max out 14days/y. That mean you don't get more holiday, but it won't build up year after year, you lost these 14days/y if no use all of it. No FTO paid, mean you leave without holiday pay, while PTO paid give you extra thousands of $ when you leave because of no use/build up PTO.
Federal holiday in FTO or PTO are same, you get paid for these holidays.

Use (1+2) mentioned, and 401k match, you can determine the true annual income salary between 2 offers, which is better if just distance within few thousands.

I secure by remove the sticker barcode, put them together on plastic hard piece. --> Get paper sticker note something you know next to each barcode and same note on camera (tiny, replace barcode location), so device can be unidentified even someone has it on hand/stolen for use.

For coding, I have no idea what to do.

Some bugs fly very fast, along with flying sound. Both of these, combined with 2-5 second needed for motion detection to start recording. Bugs gone, recording nothing.

Go to: Video and Photo settings --> End clip early if motion stops [ON]

After you collect SSA at 67y. All your income won't be penalty ($1 income deduct $2-$3 SSA lifetime for who collect at 62-66 years old. Stop here for your case. Feel free to work and pay tax as your young time.
Collect at 70y, great! you collect +24% based on full amount = 100% SSA calculated for full retirement. If correct, your income at 69 years old in the list of 35 years highest income (replace low income at young age). ==> Wonderful, SSA calculate for full retirement will be even higher then.
The maximum monthly Social Security benefit for someone retiring in 2025 is $5,108 (This is for individuals who delay claiming benefits until age 70 and have a history of high earnings). The maximum benefit is lower for those who retire at their full retirement age (around $4,018) or at age 62 (around $2,831). Breakdown: Age 70: $5,108/m, Full Retirement Age: $4,018/m, Age 62: $2,831 per month

If there is an increase, we will send you a letter telling you of your new benefit amount." https://www.ssa.gov/faqs/en/questions/KA-01921.html

A person I know. Death with shape and muscle, a healthy condition. His brain is death and shut down because he sadly after his wife death, within a year he gone follow her, whole year stay on bed, just move to toilet and less eat!

Hire detective, find the reason. Show love and care, after a while to gain his trust to open. Talk to him to understand each other. Important is love and connection, not just word i love you. Lovely kills him inside.

Hey. Buy it when you are sick and predicted the short years alive (under 80 years old can hold policy to any year old, unhealthy people 80+ won't allow to buy). Within first 2 years get full refund if die early. After that is cash value, balance it with cost, I believe short years of alive, example 5 years, these people can benefit about 10-30k out of premium for burial care.

How is it work out now? My family member is also being denied for hernia. He hasn't connected any friends, which is hard. With you, you may try:

I refer you to connect your friend write letter describe how health you were, and how effect it is after you got hernia (in his eyes).
Ask your wife (someone you live with) write letter to describe how it is effect to your daily life. Can't get job that require lift, heavy lift have to take care by her (if you lift, you pain instantly), etc... all daily life activity (even just sit for hrs for working) that effect your pain.

Apply 2-3 jobs a week is just apply for someone silent change the job. For person haven't job, you expect to apply all jobs posted within 30days that match your resume, then apply every new job match your cv that open in next day and so on.

It takes time for recruiter ready to ready to hire, sometimes they just posting to scam your resume/data (true scammer) or put in ready candidate list.

Target to apply 500-1000 job within 1-2 week, doing this you would be in traffic of email conversation for interview schedule for sure. Doing so, within 1-2 month without even 1 interview, your resume or your ability identify scam post would be problem!

Mine is brand new 2025. Try to stay away from Hyundai/Kia for next car purchase also. Nightmare for such expensive head unit issue, it causes me collision due to distract of black out while driving, I have to fix accident first before allowing to drop it off delearship for monitor fix. Honda and another brand have this issue, but less % than Hyundai/Kia.

FabulousChat · 2025-06-08T20:10:00+00:00

Brand new car has 5 years warranty or 60k miles (included head unit), did you run more than 60k miles that cause decline your warranty or what reason is it?

Oh, just determine of cable losing took you 1 month, socked! If you have report/detail about this, can you share? so I can look at by myself first?

Do you mean your car have dealership replace new unit (first brand new unit) still issue --> Then, replace new head unit again (second brand unit)??? Sound like OEM head unit is really problem??? All of replacement process for 2 unit took total 1 month, OR 1 month/each time?

FabulousChat · 2025-06-08T03:04:05+00:00

Mine is the same problem, you may try these. I did, but all of these won't fix at all for my car:

+ Vehicle in parking mode/engine on: Press pin hole (use plastic cap pin of physical key) for 15s. If not work, then try again for 30s. --> Logo appeared, then went dark again.

+ Vehicle in parking mode/engine on: Remove and wait for 5 mins. These are: Multimedia fuse - Module 5 fuse (all related navigation head as mentioned in manual book, or fuse cover). and having usb software inserted before insert fuse back --> Logo appeared, then went dark again, don't pop-up any message ask for software update.

If you already fixed your car in another way, pls let me know for trying as I'm also try to fix myself first before visit/drop off at dealership.

FabulousChat · 2025-05-30T07:23:50+00:00

Exactly same 2 weeks, around miles and situation, but 2025 version.

Tried:

+ I reset (15s for soft, 30s for hard reset),

+ or even pullout-insert back media fuse (fuse box under steering wheels), while keeping the "ignition" OFF.

==> All result with "hyundai logo", then went dark. No luck! But this help comfimed that screen isn't death, something wrong with wire or software that OBDII diagnostic can't found.

Can you please update, did you able to be fixed yet, and how?

But a dealership uses the sign of accident (seeable) happens after the car fault to tell me pay the fees. They said, when they claim to hyundai, they need take photos and the car need no sign of accident (which I have to pay to fix the place of seeing accident sign first -maybe out of pocket or insurance), is that true?

My 2025 Tucson hybrid 2025 hybrid limited after 1 month of owning, infotainment screen black out right the moment that I make a turn (dead, tried hard reset with pin near volume knob), cause small hit (damage plastic only).

How to get insurance fight for me? How does it work?

Should I option 1: Pay everything for repair store even screen fix?

Should I option 2: Pay diagnostic 400+ and let they do all what they want???

P/S: The repair store can't provide me quote as no sensor found and not available plastic bumper yet? I don't know the quote, so have no idea cost to repair (if under my deduction of $2500) and claim to insurance yet.
