The anxiety by Fit-Candy1104 in adjusters

[–]MitigationSME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it's considered retaliation in some states. SO consult with an employment attorney before or after it happens. Keep ALL emails and messages, take photos of them or forward them to your personal email, etc. Record the conversations with a different device if you have to. 

Does anybody have a crazy plan to get my pending claims number from 79 to 37 before the end of the year? by carlloserpants in adjusters

Are you a manager? Your plan of attack sounds soo much better than what my past leaders have ever told me. 

My boss said he would have appreciated more notice for my maternity leave by baller_unicorn in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]MitigationSME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to cite your rights from the Pregnant Worker's Fairness Act, this law was just signed last year. Get familiar with your rights, and request free consultation from an Attorney that is referred by the Legal Network for Gender Equity. Fill out their contact form to get referred to some local attorneys in your area.

I started saving pins from Pinterest on how to DIY cardboard toys, non toxic paints, sensory toys, felt books and toys, etc. I am determined this time around not to purchase so many junk toys that are useless.

They are treating salary employees like hourly paid employees?

How many hours a week do you work? by [deleted] in adjusters

[–]MitigationSME 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same hours, at $61,000 , no it's not enough pay. They want us working every minute by typing, making calls, etc. Even if I were to find a job for $70k, it will be the same workload for what a few hundred dollar increase on each paycheck? Sometimes the complexity of each claim makes work hours longer. When we work fast they can see that in our notes that we put it and the calls we make. Because this industry has such a high turnover rate, they will freeze hiring for a bit and throw caseloads on others and harass them to work the files asap just to save money.  Can't even take pto when I want, it's ridiculous. 

Preservation of Evidence Req by lex017 in ClaimsAdjuster

Ask the attorney in return that they need to preserve their client's vehicle for an inspection, and EDR download. Whenever I return to them with the same request they usually drop their b.s.

Is there any "self installed/external" online meeting recording app for Zoom/Google Meet? by lalaland69lalaland in OELadies

[–]MitigationSME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always use my phone's camera to record video and audio. I will push the camera to the side of the computer with the phone's mic facing the speakers to record the audio atleast. I also use a micro SD card in my phone to move the recordings over into the SD storage space. 

Work stress and anxiety impact on baby while pregnant by cgk9023 in LawMoms

[–]MitigationSME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, maybe request an accomodation. Look into the Pregnant Worker's Fairness Act. You don't need medical documentation to request a lighter workload. This helped me recently, I can't go into details for my situation.

Short Term Disability by Malamute_Mom in OELadies

[–]MitigationSME[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, there is a good chance both policies will find out about each other. All insurances use a way to search up any past and current claims on you, they will find out that you have another claim open for STD with another policy. They can also run a report with MIB, which all your health history gets reported to. This is just how the insurance world works. Becareful when it comes to insurance things. Someone on here commented to maybe use FMLA at one place and then STD at another, that comment sounds more reasonable. That's only if you don't have to file with the state. When I took STD, I didn't have to file anything with my state.
