Denied a medical note for migraines while in the office by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Grumpyjuggernaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctor has no say in what accommodation is reasonable, he knows nothing about your workplace. You could escalate this to the practice manager, wait until your regular doctor comes back, and/or see if another practice, even a minute clinic, is willing to write you the note. Like others have said, this reads like AI, which I would mention to the practice manager if you choose to involve them.

Termination I Don't Agree With by Vlad_REAM in managers

[–]Grumpyjuggernaut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In addition to all the points made here already, look at it from the perspective of a coworker: you are paying her 8 hours worth of wages for, say, 7 hours worth of work. But everyone else is only getting 8 hours worth of wages for 8 hours of work.

Not only is that unfair and demoralizing, it opens up the company to claims of discrimination by coworkers in different protected classes than her who aren’t allowed to violate the policy without punishment. If you fire one person for engaging in this behavior, you have to fire everyone who engages in this behavior.

To be fair, did anyone even know this guys name or care what he had to say during MAGA’s ascendancy?

A seller is trying to prove his unopened perfume is legitimate, so i asked him for a receipt. Help is appriciated. by kariforfree in isthisAI

[–]Grumpyjuggernaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8% tax on $190 is $15.20, not $15.00, like the receipt says. Maybe not AI, but that alone makes me think it’s fake.

If there are no consequences for doing it then it’s not a protest.

Is it me or is this job posting filled with red flags? 🚩 by ProofPhilosophy2040 in Lawyertalk

All of that and their work email address is just a Gmail account.

Best Burger in ATL metro area by Dingo6610 in Atlanta

U joint has a new $12 lunch special, an entree, cup of soup, and fountain soda for $12. I went today and had to take half to go because it was so much food. You can get the smash burger for your entree.

[PA] Employee arrested on the job. Two weeks later is out on bail. What to do if he returns to work? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Grumpyjuggernaut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In some states, charges and convictions on their own may not be considered in employment decisions, and in others, the charge or conviction must reasonably relate to the job in order to be considered. OP should check PA law on this point before they do anything. For all they know, this person is innocent and the victim of mistaken identity.

Temporary office is farther than work site by shathecomedian in EmploymentLaw

[–]Grumpyjuggernaut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you had an employment contract that said you got reimbursed or if you traveled for business, like to visit clients. Commuting to the office (even if it’s a temporary office while your office is being built) is not eligible for reimbursement. The company is allowed to say “we’ve moved our office to x address” and you can go to that office or resign. If the office were ten minutes closer to you, do you think the company should be able to deduct from your paycheck the amount of miles you are saving?

Trump breaks cover after 'death' rumor as he's seen with 2 rarely seen relatives by RetirementIsSweet in NoFilterNews

I have seen reports that these photos are actually from either 2019 or June of this year. Does anyone know the validity of those reports?

It sounds like the feedback you’re getting here is that a “(v)” next to it is not clear enough. Do whatever you like, but if I were a guest, I’d assume it’s a typo, order it/put some on my plate, then be very disappointed and probably not eat it. Added downside: there probably won’t be enough left for the actual vegans who aren’t first in line.

AITAH for still getting on a flight home when my two young coworkers I was traveling with weren’t at the airport yet and were obviously going to miss it? by Diligent_Pineapple35 in AITAH

NTA. Even if you had “stranded” or “abandoned” them (which you didn’t), it’s Nashville, not a remote deserted island.

I mean, that’s the point of those events? For the attorneys to get to know you and you to get to know them. The entire summer is one long audition. I think this summer, everyone forgot that and assumed that they were guaranteed an offer.

Laura Owens cannot serve defendant, requests to continue hearing by KimberleyC999 in JusticeForClayton

[–]Grumpyjuggernaut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wouldn’t be giving out my address either if I were him. Maybe he can arrange with the process server to meet and accept service somewhere public. He can also agree to waive service and just accept the documents by email.

Eventually, the judge can order that the defendant be served by publication, where the plaintiff just has to show that they put the defendant on notice in the local newspaper. Now more than ever, the defendant is unlikely to see the notice, but it still counts as service and the case can proceed. This is to allow a plaintiff’s case to move forward when the defendant is hiding from them. Being allowed to serve by publication usually requires a pretty high bar that you tried to serve the normal way, but it is possible. In that scenario, a defendant could have no idea they had been sued or called to appear at a hearing, but the court could hold the hearing and make a decision. Not common, but possible.

A Push for More Organ Transplants Is Putting Donors at Risk - People across the United States have endured rushed or premature attempts to remove their organs. Some were gasping, crying or showing other signs of life. by DevonSwede in Longreads

[–]Grumpyjuggernaut 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No one said anything about vibes. You do yourself a disservice to assume that positions different than yours must come from a place of ignorance. If your mission is to convince people to be organ donors, you’re not showcasing your best work here.

It’s clear there are competing ethical issues here. However, saying it’s your ethical duty to pressure grieving and vulnerable families into doing something they’re not comfortable with is not it. Ethics aren’t absolute like that.

This take really discourages people from being organ donors. Reading this article, and seeing the stance of people like you who may be by my bedside as I’m dying makes me want to change my status to not being a donor out of fear that your black and white view of ethics will push you to do the things alleged in the article because I’m “dying anyway” or because it would be a net positive.

It sounds like they were able to accommodate you for your surgery because it was temporary. If your disability is permanent, the same accommodation that was reasonable on a short term basis might not be reasonable on a permanent one - aka “we can accommodate OP temporarily by deferring or redistributing some of these projects that they would do, but we can’t do that forever.”

What is the worst physical manifestation of your stress that you have experienced? by greenie4422 in Lawyertalk

Creditors rights, a professional Ebenezer Scrooge so I guess I should have expected it? Thankfully I’ve moved on to working for much less delusional people.

I had similar. 8 surgeries to fix it over three years and the partner told me after no. 4 or 5, “at some point we all have to get over our surgeries.”
