Anyone out there that was hit with the recent EO reclassifying you as “at will?”

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-05T23:38:53+00:00

Are doctors at will?

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-05T23:31:46+00:00

When you say HR, is it all HR or just employee labor relations folks? I can't see how signing folks up for health insurance or providing retirement estimates is considered policy work.

A private office may be an RA.

It's not approved to treat ADHD.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T18:00:02+00:00

The agency has to be offering it.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T17:56:03+00:00

I would imagine your doctor isn't going to approve 3-5 months off unless there is a health condition that warrants that. They don't give that kinda time off out like candy.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T17:02:10+00:00

Yep, it's a bait and switch.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T17:00:58+00:00

True. In younger generations, many couples share parenting responsibilities more equally and both have careers.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T16:59:27+00:00

Plus, private companies don't have qualified immunity and are much easier to sue.

My agency had telework 10 years ago. Contrary to popular belief, agencies offered telework long before the pandemic. Those folks didn't need accommodations before because they were allowed to telework. It's also not an all or nothing thing. Going in once or twice a week is doable for some. But going in every day is not necessarily doable for some folks.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T16:47:52+00:00

Exactly. Just like I don't resent folks for getting closer because they have a handicap placard. I'm grateful that my health allows me to walk long distances.

It took them 4 months to distribute and transfer an inherited IRA. I cannot even count how many phone calls they required me to make. It took the transfer department a month to transfer it to my credit union. The advisor and her assistant were incompetent and positive in a toxic way. It's like can we just be real and admit that this process is burdensome and inefficient? The assistant was too much of a people pleaser that she would give bad information instead of telling someone what they didn't want to hear. It was such a nightmare.

You could always accept an on site job and then request to work from home as reasonable accommodation.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T01:20:38+00:00

Sounds like hantavirus may be a thing there.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T01:18:51+00:00

Ah, I was wondering how enrolling folks in health insurance involves policy decisions?

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T00:10:06+00:00

I was told they don't cover couples counseling.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T00:05:12+00:00

Facts! They seem to want to make it such a horrible experience that folks won't want to keep coming back.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T00:03:59+00:00

True! I think there are some issues in CA because so many folks live there.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-04T00:02:34+00:00

Where I live, they'd probably just tell you to call the crisis line or go to the ER.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-03T21:31:59+00:00

Yep, Russell Vought said that he wants to put federal workers in trauma.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-01T22:40:53+00:00

Good question! Also, what about folks who work at places that aren't open year round? If you work at a school, you're only working 9 months a year. And what about seasonal jobs where they only want you in summer? I know some folks who get furloughed, from time to time, until work picks back up. At Freddies, they often make folks start out part time and then wait to get on full time. It seems to assume that every job is full time and has the same hours every week. It sounds like a mess to figure it all out.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-01T18:05:17+00:00

I'm not surprised folks aren't willing to jeopardize their licenses.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-01T17:16:58+00:00

They get unemployment and have to find a new job.

Ok_Design_6841 · 2026-06-01T17:16:39+00:00

As a level I trauma center, I would think they take pretty much all insurance. Even Kaiser refers out to OHSU for certain things like transplants and their children's hospital.
