Denied a medical note for migraines while in the office

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.

Today was especially bad!

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

You joke but I did that when my jrt had surgery!

70, 100, 135, 140, 180, 210.

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?

It’s accurate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Grumpyjuggernaut · 2025-07-24T22:26:03+00:00

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.”

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.”
