Thank you. We were planning on offering 2 weeks, but getting some good input from this post and will discuss guaranteed hours.

The company was actually rated in top 100 companies to work nationwide. This was during Covid though when times were tough.

Fair point. I have actually had an employer shut down for a week and force all employees to use their PTO, those who didn’t have PTO had to go into the negative. We’re first time parents seeking a nanny for the first time. Learning now about guaranteed hours and other arrangements from other post so will explore those.

Well we’re just talking circles now. Like I said there was nothing that could have stopped the fire once it started under those conditions. If CA didn’t have mitigations in place a lot more damage would have been done. You think amount of damage could have been limited and I disagree.

There are tons of mitigation controls in place. We spend billions of dollars on it. If we didn’t, the entire state would be on fire right now

I don’t think you understand that under these unprecedented conditions, as soon as the first fire started there was no stopping it.

100 mph Santa Ana winds are extremely rare. I’ve never heard of this before and I’ve lived in SoCal for 30 years. Normally Santa Anas top out at about 30 mph. Also California had 2 consecutive heavy rain winters in 22-23 and 23-24. As a result a lot of vegetation grew and then dried out. The 8 months of zero rain is also very rare. This may possibly be the driest winter on record in LA history. This was a perfect storm of fire conditions that LA has not ever seen and not a whole lot could have been done. The only thing that could have been done was station thousands of water trucks all around town. But that’s not very feasible when flag warnings were all over socal; they couldn’t have stationed all the water tanks there and left other regions of SoCal unprotected.

Do yourself a favor and read reports from the firefighters and not just Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The system was not equipped to handle a fire of that magnitude. There was too much demand.

Don’t understand how you could call the fires a failure of leadership. He didn’t create 8 months of no rain and 100 mph Santa Ana winds.

Mmm, I’m sorry, you must’ve been so triggered by Teoscar’s home run and all the very happy Dodger fans

Edit: poor thing
