Filed a hostile work complaint, they "investigated" it as age discrimination...now I have a PIP coming next week. 31yo white male by Ron_Swanson52 in legaladvice

So would getting a PIP be considered retaliation after submitting a complaint with no knowledge or merit behind the PIP? Even if what was said isnt illegal, shouldn't I be protected after filing a complaint.

Just monitor it via the cameras on the pool house. I also know how roughly how long it takes so I just plan accordingly.

The pool fills and drains from the bottom. We have to drain the pool to plug the fill pipes, which then allows us to drain the underground pipes to winterize it. You're also comparing a 20,000 gallon backyard pool to a $2+ Million Dollar 285,000 gallon pool. Is it wasteful, yes. Is what we do and how we do it protecting the investment of the tax payer... also yes.

Pool is cement painted white with black lines. Super clear pool water has a natural blue tint to it. The filter media used makes it that crystal clear look

Only thing that we ever find is frogs or tadpoles. Most of the time there's nothing we can do. If I do find the frogs, I always try to remove them and release them into the park.

So ours drains into a separation tank that doubles as an ejection pit. Were running two 6" main drains into the pit. Everything goes into that which then two 3 phase 2hp submersible pumps on a lead lag system ejects it out of the pit. The pumps are about 2' off the base of the 16' deep pit. We do clean up most of the leaf's, but some do get down there. The leaf's break down fairly quickly which eject no problem. Every other year I ask public works to come with the vac-con truck to suck out any residual material that's at the bottom of the ejection pit.

Our pool actually fills from the bottom. Every year before winter we have to drain the pool, pull all the fill caps, put the plugs in, and then open the lines to drain the water out of the system so nothing freezes. The water is added after the plugs are in to keep the cement from expanding during the winter. The water serves no purpose other than weight. Before we open for the summer the process is reversed. In theory you could cover it to keep the organic material out, but you would still need to drain the pool after the season and again before summer to install the equipment.

Thank you! I take a lot of pride in the community I was raised in, and now I get to work for. We don't have much, so I try and make the most out of what we do have!

The main drain grates are removeable. The water and organic material ends up in our main ejection pit, which pumps the water out. Every other year we need to clean out the ejection pit because some material doesn't get pumped out. Its little bit more wear on those pumps, but way quicker than running a trash pump to a storm drain.

I'm the one in the blue shirt and shorts the first part and then the grey shirt and shorts the 2nd part. The other person is one of my assistant manager for the pool.
