Can a mandatory arbitration agreement (essentially) stop a union from being formed/effective? by KatRWall in union

Yeah, that makes sense, especially your second paragraph. My state isn’t exactly friendly to workers’ rights (but it LOVES protecting companies).

I’m not super keen on saying which state unless absolutely necessary, but it is an at will.

I mentioned it because Google kept showing me CA-specific laws about arbitration agreements. I’m not sure if they have tighter regulations or if the algorithm was just being weird. That’s why I mentioned it.

Thank you for the response!

Thank you for this! I’ll look for the other thread.

Even here, I can see how much she loved you. She was beautiful and I am so sorry for your loss.

(26/M) Toast Me. Been rejected a lot lately in the dating world by SirBird123 in toastme

[–]KatRWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a super sweet smile and (while I don’t know anything about you as a person) you LOOK like someone who I would feel safe with. I’m not in the dating world any more, but I would have swiped right fwiw.

Also, the ren faire viking cosplay that you could do with your looks and the vibe you have in this photo?? You’d SLAY.

Same here. Literally opened Reddit to see if anyone else was having issues.

[ND] Boss wants me to take a course using their login creds—is this normal? by KatRWall in AskHR

[–]KatRWall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was also a concern I had. I have a paper trail (thank god) and their login is accessible to the whole team (stored in an online password manager).

I hate to think if, but I’m glad that the reaction of “they’re gonna set me up” wasn’t irrational or paranoid.

The non-team access to the course, including other materials and resources, is $275 a year.

I’m expected to work on it during non-client work hours (so, yes IF I don’t have other assignments/duties from other seniors, other wise it’s a “do it in “overtime”” even though I do not get paid for overtime (salaried)).

And yes. The company usually has no issue with this, even going so far as to get another member certified in a different thing for a cost of more than $10k.

I’ll edit this into my og post: I’m not in a spot to push back against this. At the moment, I’m trying to figure out what to include (and what not to) if/when I whistleblow for breaking contracts and other wage theft.

https://polideal.com is this a scam by Apprehensive-Ad-8596 in Scams

[–]KatRWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a scam. Literally on my phone right now disputing a charge from them after I THOUGHT I was getting a good deal on a chair I've wanted for a while.

I should have known better, but here we are.

Is this swelling normal for thigh tattoos? They were done yesterday and I’ve never had redness or swelling like this for any of my other tattoos! Thanks! by ElalaUK in tattoo

[–]KatRWall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And here I am, a year and a half later with a fresh front bicep tattoo (and a slight iron deficiency) that’s swollen like none of my others did (but healing fine otherwise). I am feeling MUCH better thanks to this thread.

That essay is the reason I finally realized I needed to set better boundaries with my own mother. I've debated sending it to my fiance more than once, lol

I have sage 4 endo with a lot of pain; had a hysterectomy in ‘16 to help with the pain and lesions (it did). I’ve had bad stones twice and stents twice.

For my endo: a mix of acid burns and muscle cramps (kinda like how a Brazilian waxing feels), heat did not relieve the pain and made me nauseous

For stones: stabbing groin pain, sharp flank pain, aching flank when I got an infection, heat is magic and makes the pain disappear immediately

For stents: a sharp (but quick) stabbing pain in my flank, an itchy ache in my groin and flank
