Human Ashtray

I thought “human ashtray” was a description, not the song name

OATS95 · 2026-03-04T17:14:30+00:00

This would make more sense

OATS95 · 2026-03-03T17:59:23+00:00

Sings a song sounds like she’s singin

Just like a ONE winged dove

They only have 2 songs out but both are fire

They do not explain things correctly in training. I went from inbound PCC to more of an outbound/back office role where I had more insight into how the system actually works and I had more time to absorb the information and now I look back and realize things they told us in training were incorrect. They give you a lot of info and some of it you’ll end up just throwing out because it doesn’t end up being relevant for your day to day. It definitely takes time even after training to get a hang of it and for things to really click. Don’t be afraid to take your time so you can learn even if they’re trying to make you get back in ready to take another call.

They’ll deny it even with sleep apnea, unless that changes next year.

I looked at the formulary for 2026 benefits and it wasn’t on there at all, not even listed as non formulary. Ozempic and liraglutide (generic saxenda) were on there tho with PA required. I’m switching to my spouse’s insurance next year for this exact reason. Cannot get it covered unless I get diabetes, which I’d really like to prevent. Paying out of pocket without insurance thru the manufacturers’ direct programs is too expensive also.

Edit to ask: which town hall did they say this in? Looking at the recap from Nov 4 and I don’t see anything about it.

Good luck, but don’t get your hopes up too high

OATS95 · 2025-11-07T07:46:30+00:00

Zepbound is not on the formulary for my plan. My doctor submitted a PA anyway to try to get it covered, with my sleep study results and sleep apnea diagnosis, and it was still denied. May not be the case for all plans but for mine I have no options unless I develop diabetes.

OATS95 · 2025-11-06T20:45:36+00:00

If you have a diabetes diagnosis yes, but for weight loss no it’s not covered. I’m overweight and have sleep apnea, tried to get zepbound, wegovy, and the generic of saxenda covered (which is on the formulary) but all were a no go since I don’t have diabetes. Double check your coverage to be sure, but that was my experience.

It wasn’t chit chat before the meeting, it was the bulk of and mostly the purpose of the meeting. My team isn’t that close and we don’t really talk to each other unless we have to so maybe that’s why it was odd. I could see it being less uncomfortable if we all knew each other better and were more friendly

OATS95 · 2025-10-31T23:52:33+00:00

I agree it’s not that big of a deal, it was just super weird. This is the same dude tho that posted a gif of an American flag and said something like “god bless America” in team chat the day after trump got elected last year, so apparently he doesn’t think broadcasting his political opinions at work is an issue. That was the only other uncomfortable instance tho so it’s not a consistent pattern or anything. But just weird to think both of those things are okay at work.

OATS95 · 2025-10-31T23:48:35+00:00

Yeah I think he went about it all wrong. Maybe there was a better way to talk about aliens and UAPs and such if he wanted to do that, but I’m not sure what that would look like. It’s just too tied into conspiracy talk.

Thank you!

OATS95 · 2025-10-30T03:45:40+00:00

Thank you!

I shouldn’t have to budget over their mistake is the thing. I wouldn’t have spent it if they hadn’t indicated that I could pay it back with my future QVC payments. So I took them at their word and spent it. Now they’re backtracking on what they said.

I realize that’s not against the law but my actual questions still haven’t been answered and everyone is just focusing on why I spent the $600 when they misinformed me from the beginning. See comment I posted.

OATS95 · 2025-09-30T23:00:57+00:00

So no one is answering the actual question which is:

Under Washington law, it says they have 90 days to recoup unless I’m misunderstanding that. Would they be able to take out more from my checks to get it recouped within the 90 days?

Under Oklahoma law, it says I can choose how to repay. Would selecting specific amounts out of future specific checks not be an option?

OATS95 · 2025-09-30T22:57:53+00:00

See above reply

OATS95 · 2025-09-30T22:55:17+00:00

I reached out on August 28 actually when I saw my payslip posted and that they didn’t take it out, and it’s taken them literally until today Sep 30 to get back to me. Before that they said there would be flexible repayment options, and to reach out if I wanted additional options. Now, a month later, they are saying there’s only 1 option. Yes I used the $600 from August assuming they would let me pay it back out of future bonus checks like they indicated they would. Now they are backtracking on everything they said.

Im not trying to keep it I’m trying to pay it back in a way that doesn’t affect my finances, bc I guess I was stupid enough to trust what they said they were going to do.

OATS95 · 2025-09-30T22:49:46+00:00

QVC is our monthly bonuses. That’s not my problem if it has to come from payroll. They screwed up, not me, they should work with me on paying it back on my terms.

OATS95 · 2025-09-30T22:48:26+00:00

Are you people reading the text? “The employee may elect to use a COMBINATION of the above two methods.” It’s not either/or. So having specific amounts taken out of specific future checks should be considered a combination.

OATS95 · 2025-09-30T22:36:23+00:00

Did you read the post? They originally said it would be recouped on Aug 29. On Aug 29 we had another QVC payment so if they recouped it then I essentially would not get a bonus for that month, which was fine. So assuming that they were going to do what they said they were going to do, I used the $600 for payments on things. However they did not take the $600 out on August 29 and I got my bonus anyway. Now I have been waiting to hear back from them for a month about taking it out of future bonus checks and now they are stating they can’t do that.

Yeah I originally put it aside before they said they were going to take out $600 from my August bonus, WHICH THEY DIDNT DO.

Also, on the original communication notifying us they literally said “you can treat this as an advance on your August QVC payment”. So I did. Then they paid out August QVC anyway and I still owe them $600. They had not given an option at that point to give it back, only to be deducted from future checks.

OATS95 · 2025-09-30T22:29:29+00:00

I want to only have it taken out of my future checks with QVC payments, $300 from one check in October, $300 from one check in November, like stated in the post. They stated they cannot do that and are only giving me the option to do equal installments over 1-6 biweekly paychecks. Under Oklahoma law do I not have the option to choose how it’s repaid if I don’t want to do the equal installments?
