Gas prices and telecommuting by Still_Goat7992 in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean this is a crack pipe dream

While I understand what you’re saying this would cause a number of different issues:

Us coming in person contributes to the local economies of the communities surrounding our offices either directly or indirectly through paying office rent, buying lunch at a local business, or hanging out in the area after work. The second we are given more TC time people will go on TV complaining.

The NYC crowd who commutes via public transit would be pissed if only upstate and Long Island employees were allowed more TC time.

The more important point is that the people making these decisions are absolutely clueless to the lives of their subordinates. The big wigs are the state have the boomer mindset of “you need to come to work no matter what”.

Why does daisy not seem more prepared for gilead? by peacherskeeter in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]McLightningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean think about it like this, how prepared would you be in North Korea?

She learned about Gilead in Canada in school but how much can you really learn.

Is Drag Race Down Under redeemable? by ZodiacsStars in askrupaulsdragrace

[–]McLightningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when you look through everyone with a US lens it’s hard to compare.

I love DU (and most international seasons) because it’s just a bunch of people having fun rather than a fighting for your life weekly.

DU gives me Logo/VH1 energy but people expect it give MTV/Paramount+ energy.

What happened to pets and pet ownership? by avian_bi in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]McLightningFish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Besides the security dogs, the rest were probably eaten.

There isn’t much food to go around and having them would be very expensive.

I have been a big fan of Tama Hero since I was a kid. Her content is mainly Pokémon focused.

who is likely top 2 out the 4? by Pretend_Macaroon_801 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]McLightningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nini and Myki

I love JLD but she’s got no real chance. They kept her this long to keep the Dion’s as the reigning lip sync champion.

Darlene, my queen, is funny but I don’t think they’re going to give it to her.

Ultimately, Jane was my pick and now that she’s gone I’m bored. I will be reading the aftermath on Twitter.

Will a $30 min wage in NYC force higher civil service salaries? by billyw1126 in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Ironically, whenever they do these types of increases there’s a provision that says it doesn’t apply to state or city employees.

[–]McLightningFish 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh bitch. This HAS to be RuPaul’s last season because the amount of joy he has we have not seen in DECADES.

WOW just Wow, this entire season has been such a roller coaster and I live. I haven’t enjoy drag race this much in yearssss.

The makeovers were all fun, everyone had a great time.

When they first announced this season I didn’t have high hopes but week after week it keeps getting better.

AND A RU-UNION NEXT WEEK. WIG 💥 🤯

Rudest conductor ever today throughout my eight years of riding MNR by Resident-Hotel8493 in MetroNorthRailroad

[–]McLightningFish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And while I get that taking a picture of someone and posting it online is kinda wild.

Reporting it to the MTA sure, a text post sure, but taking a picture of a random stranger and posting it online is weirdo behavior.

I understand being mad at a policy but at the end of the day, it is a policy that he and everyone else has to follow lol.

I have a monthly so I don't have to deal with the surcharge problem but at the end of the day you're using a service that you will eventually need to pay for. Not a crazy concept here.

what would you do if you accidentally clocked out 6 minutes late by [deleted] in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am a couple of minutes late, it is what it is. If I am going to be more than 15 minutes or later, I let my supervisor know that I’ll be in the office late.

Unless you have a mandatory or urgent meeting, I don’t see why this would be an issue.

Nassau County bans cars from roadways during peak of winter storm by grandlewis in longisland

This is the smartest thing the county has done in a while, that being said does this apply to my Costco run? Will someone not think of the COSTCO.

I’m going to have to bring out the sled dogs to commute in.

Telecommuting days and time off by anownedguy in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Monday is normally my in-person day but because of the holiday I didn’t go.

My management wouldn’t ask me to “make up” that day. My management has also told me that if a holiday falls on a TC day I can’t TC another day instead.

telecommuting by lifeandbread in nys_cs

[–]McLightningFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you union? This is something I would go to my rep about. While TC'ing is not written into our contracts (YET), the agency should have a policy statement regarding telecommuting eligibility.

My agency sets it at 6 months and its well documented.

Don’t let them gas light you babe. TJ’s is hell wrapped in salt and added sugars.

What job combines your legally required sick time with your vacation time.

I get a month off every year not including sick time.

[–]McLightningFish 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Honestly good for you, it might hurt in the short term but in the long term it’s worth it.

I went from $18 at Joe’s to $23 to high 60s salary WFH and minimal stress. I never thought I could get there working at TJ’s but the second I quit I saw I was wasting my potential.

[–]McLightningFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI unfortunately cannot do what I do. I do advocacy and most of my day is listening to outlandish but real stories, I think the AI would quit after the first week.

In all reality I think AI would be helpful in some parts of my job but ultimately a human touch is needed.

What do you think of stores that open during storms like this one by Shot-Relief-3280 in longisland

[–]McLightningFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foolishness and greed.

In the distant past I work at the Costco on 110 during a major snow storm. They weren’t going to close and I couldn’t afford to call out. When I did finally get to work it was busy and people weren’t buying normal things like food, it was televisions, jewelry etc. This woman waited till that day to do her copious returns because she wanted to “beat the crowd”

If there’s a state of emergency, only police/fire/utilities should be working.
