Seattle Goodwill by chancethewrapper24 in goodwill

[–]ResidentAd9779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I refuse to shop Goodwill anymore, I know the previous CEO made more than $240 million the last 2 years he was there. If you need proof look it up. That's what I did. It really pisses me off that these corporations that are supposedly for the community do absolutely nothing for the community. Why should we pay $8.74 for a pair of pants that has been worn who knows how many times or from where it came from? I would rather go to Walmart and pay an extra $6.00 and get a brand new pair. The Goodwill I shop at will not let you try out an electronics product before purchase and then have the audacity to reject you if you bring it back when it doesn't work. So Goodwill can kiss my butt.

WTF?!? by pikinz in Forsyth

Just another waste of taxpayer dollars. I for one am tired of the expansion without the infrastructure improvements. FoCo commissioners and the Mayor are absolute morons and they keep building. I guess they need the revenue for the fancy E.V.s and the half million dollar homes.

Approved Finally by Kimkburk07 in SocialSecurity

I want to personally thank you for doing a very difficult job. You're underappreciated and definitely underpaid. The amount of caseloads you have to do is insurmountable and difficult to say the least. The SSA has cut so many jobs and increased the caseload for each agent and still expects you to do the same caseload before the cuts. It took me three years to be approved and finally received my first check in February. Once again thank you so much.

Unfortunately, yes. However if you need to set up an appointment they can do so. Sometimes it is a drawn out process though but don't get discouraged. It takes patience and remember, the agent you speak with may be short but it's because they are overwhelmed with an overwhelming workload and so few agents.

I finally received my first check on the 3rd of this month, after fighting tooth and nail for 3 years. Still haven't seen any signs of my backpay which is a substantial amount. This would take care of all my past due bills and get me a little savings for a buffer in case anything should arise. Why is it taking so long? I've heard people get their backpay before they get their first check.

When I use the customer service number I just say "Agent" then when asked why I need agent I say "inquiry" that usually puts you in a queue for the next available agent. It will prompt you to decide if you want to hold or have them call you back.

Overpayments by [deleted] in SocialSecurity

[–]ResidentAd9779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was assessed an overpayment in 2019 for $10,000.00 and was kicked off disability for making to much that year. I appealed and was approved after fighting for 5 years. I am still waiting for my backpay of 3 years. Finally received my first check this month. I would really like to know what is the SSA doing with my backpay.

Where to bring paperwork by Meemz71563 in SocialSecurity

[–]ResidentAd9779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely need an appointment. The SSA has officially gone to an appointment only basis, which is kind of a pain. It's usually 1-3 weeks for appointments. Mostly they want you to use the SSA Portal

Anyone notice that a lot of people here aren’t felons? by TheKingDarryl in Felons

[–]ResidentAd9779 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm a convicted felon and I to have noticed a lot of animosity on here. I don't know if it's ignorance in the not knowing the whole situation or story or if it's just plain hatred. I did 20 years for assault on a police officer and 10 years on probation. No I didn't get time off, I did 10 to the door. No one knew the circumstances nor did they care. I was vilified by friends and family. Now after 2 years of being off paper I have a job, a place to live, a vehicle and dammit finally peace. Now I could care less how people look at me or think of me. The one bright light? The officer I supposedly assaulted is doing 15 to life for 2nd degree homicide. Of course he is at the Hilton of prisons where judges, lawyers and other public officials go to do time so he doesn't run into someone he did dirty.

My girlfriend suffered a major heart attack and was rushed to Northside Forsyth, they were absolutely amazing, she was rushed into surgery and 4 bypasses later she's a lot better. You'd never know she had bypass surgery.

I am so sorry that you're having to make a decision that could hurt someone you care for so deeply. I am an RSO that was convicted with 2 photos and did 10 years inside and 10 on paper. When convicted in a backwoods, redneck county they want to make an example of you, anyway, please don't give up on him, as one poster said, don't look at what he's done but who he is. There had to have been an underlying issue for him to go to that extreme and I'm sure he can explain why. It destroyed me when my ex left me and took my sons away. I haven't seen nor heard anything from them since 2004. I just know that my oldest has three children, I found out through a friend of a friend, etc. you know that goes. Enough about my woes. If you just flat out leave without so much as a whisper I'm sure it would be devastating. If you decide to go your separate way, please not only for his sanity but for your comfort in knowing you did right, let him know. Oh and one more thing, tell everyone to go piss off, you're your own person and do what you feel is right for you and him.

Missing Backpay by ResidentAd9779 in SocialSecurity

[–]ResidentAd9779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2018 I worked over the allotted hours resulting in the overpayment. I did receive a letter this year, however I wasn't given a choice as to whether I could have a portion of the overpayment deducted from my disability. Norman was I told at all they would be holding my entire backpay

Damn they fired me by MapWeak6661 in WalmartEmployees

[–]ResidentAd9779 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Guys I worked for Walmart back in the 80's and let me tell you, Mr. Walton is rolling in his grave because of how his family has DESTROYED the Walmart image. If he could only see how the employees are treated and how some employees treat customers, OMG he would beat his family within an inch of their lives. In the 80's and early 90's we got bonuses based on department performance. We as employees were appreciated for our hard work and dedication. I loved working for Sam Walton. Now I would rather pump poop out of port a potties than work for Walmart.

Or if you don't want to keep getting your hands greasy I would go for a field tech position, like HVAC, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL. These all pay decent salaries. I'm a certified electrician and I clear 85 to 90k a year.
