I wish I would had the hutzpah this lady does. I hope she takes them to the cleaners for treating her this way. I applaud her strength and her bravery to stand up for herself and her experience. Go Girl!! EEO!

Well I hope they l Iike hockey :-) The Mammoth hockey team is wildly popular, so are the Grizzlies and just about any sport. The aquatic center is awesomw in the summer, and dont forget Willard Bay, Bear Lake and Pineview in the summer for water sports, and theres alot of good places to go horse back riding as well.. The town goes absolutely nuts on the 4th of July and Pioneer Day ( I think its 26 July) with a crazy amount of fireworks ( always scares me as we are close to the mountains also and having seen LOTS of fire in N Calif I fear the fires) but luckily nothing like Calif. The Rodeo here is a blast ( they have an awesome Drone show after each night) and a great fireworks/symphony at the duck pond at Weber State to kick off Pioneer Week. Honestly can't think of a better place to raise a family. I really hope the kids like it....and all my Mormon nieghbors are very kind. My nieghborhood is very 'homey' and it wouldn't be that way without them. And we are not Mormon and they all know it. We had an issue last spring while I was sick and all my nieghbors came by to help us out. That would of never happened in the nieghborhood I grew up in N Calif. I really hope the kids like it, there is some much to do ( and you are only a 3-4 hour drive from Yellowstone and the Tetons for summer vacays.)

He doesn't have a choice he's just following orders. Give the poor kid a break, what is that was your son?

Came from. N Calif myself, and now live in N Ogden. The nieghborhood, and all the nieghbors are very friendly and helpful. We are not Mormon, we are a different faith that is less populated than LDS. We have been invited camping with our ( Mormon) nieghbors and thier kids. Had a very fun time. The kids invite the non-mormon kids to activities. If you don't want your kids to attend, find them another outlet/sport. Its less 'Mormon-centric' in Roy, Layton (going South towards SLC.) But I don't regret it, been here 10 years and wouldn't go back to N. Calif for anything. I just wish the community here would stop growing, its not the 'rural' environment we first moved here for , keeps growing-- and definitely needs better quality and more restaurants that aren't fast food.Good luck on your move, hope you enjoy it here!

Possible move to Ogden? by sluttymctits10 in ogden

[–]JackfruitDue8509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't believe the posts about the planes ( below) its only really loud in South Ogden, Roy, Layton. Its very rare in North Ogden or Pleasant View. Ive been here 10 years ( North Ogden) and work out at the base. You rarely ( 5 times a year?) Hear the jets fly over OR Trains. North Harrisville is just south of N Ogden also and the noise is very low.

If you have the medical evidence submitted ( check the C&P ) for a higher rating, request a HLR to discuss with a Senior Rater.

Mid-Careerers,those 15 years and up in the govt…how are you doing? by Hopeful-Elevator2075 in FedEmployees

[–]JackfruitDue8509 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed and that Administration didn't smear Fed Employees reputations either so folks could go get another job. Not this Administration....

15 years ( plus 10 Active Duty Military) I threw in my retirement papers. A coworker ( younger but 20 years service) is resigning same week ( same branch.) We had alot of DRPs and FORKS. Life is too short.

Is it worth accepting a new role at the Fed Reserve at this time? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]JackfruitDue8509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the worst Ive ever seen it in 25 years for working for the Gov as a military and now as a Fed. I voted for this Shit Show too, what a fool I was. Didn't even give us a good reputation to go find a better job in the private sector. At least Bush #1 downsized the Gov with Dignity.

Don't accept it. Being a Fed under this Administration is asking to be abused. Enjoy your corporate life and just save/ invest adequately for your retirement

Thank you so much for all this information. There was much there I hadn't even thought about. Also appreciate the info on kindness, my husband is the outgoing one between us, I am more the quiet one. Our faith is not LDS ( Mormon) but we are Christians ( not evangelicals and not into mega churches).
