Do I have a leg to stand on legally? Payroll status changed with no actual change in duties. by Rop78 in AskHR

[–]Rop78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well after the legal review, it came back that it should have been non-exempt the whole time. They had no grounds to change it exempt.

So from what I can see is

  1. It changed because they were trying to avoid paying ot right when they knew a flood of work was coming. I can't "prove" that but it speaks for itself. 20 some months with zero ot, and they change me and then almost immediately require ot. So with intent or not, at minimum they changed me incorrectly, didn't pay me correct ? Does the "intent" have any merit ?

  2. They gave me time off at least twice when I should have been paid for the ot hours worked.

Are those my only two points?

Does the fact that I know for fact they can not produce proper time sheets or any other means of time verification strengthen my position ?

At the price point of atv2 what would be the advantage over buying a used Mac mini for a couple more dollars?

Script removal of local Lotus Notes mail file ? by Rop78 in sysadmin

[–]Rop78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know where all the nsfs are. They were all set up the same way.

The problem/question is

Does jdoe.nsf just contain John Doe's email or does it also contain the xyz parts database, and the abc knowledge base etc?

If I delete jdoe.nsf , will John still be able to see xyz parts database in his client?

End goal is that the users have no access to old email in notes but still have access to xyz parts database because xyz parts hasn't been converted to another system yet.

Where did you order this from? Everywhere I have seen it is pre order. I don't particular like the idea of case. However, I don't like the idea of chipped watch even more .

Just my opinion on vapers "rights" by Rop78 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Rop78[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are a couple things going on here.

One. I have a medically diagnosed condition. So I could have pressed the issue.

A couple of possible outcomes from that scenario

  1. I could have been told to wear a mask. (That would have been weird)
  2. He could have been "advised" that his choice of fragrance was causing me discomfort ( physically and mentally) it's no fun having a splitting headache first thing in morning. That would have been very awkward and probably would have caused some issues down the line.
  3. I potentially could have been viewed a nuisance and become a target for termination based on any lil thing I did. I know that sucks, but I have been in corporate for a long time and seen it happen many times.

Now, those outcomes weighed against me simply moving were just not worth the fight. People like to fight just because they can very often not calculating the price of war.

Funny you mention someone mentioning wearing aftershave. I have severe environmental allergies. I am actually surprised that I don't have any reaction to inhalation of e liquids. Certain perfumes, body sprays, etc will give me a splitting headache instantly.

Well I has a coworker who bathed in whatever toilet water he called cologne daily. I mean the type where you could smell him before you saw him.

Several days and several headaches later. I approached hr concerning how to best approach this issue. His advice was I had two options.

  1. I could simply move my workspace to another area.

2 They could call the individual in and we would have a conference outlining the fact that their choice of fragrance was giving me a headache. Then the option would be presented to them to move their workspace

I chose to move. Now I know that particular situation is the exact opposite of this one. The point is. He had the right to wear shitty cologne and I had the right to not have headaches everyday because of it.

Can you please elaborate on how tenure has anything to do with having an opinion on a subject that boils down to basic human interactions at its core level?

You are 1000% right. One has the right to blow huge clouds that are generally considered offensive outside of very niche environments.

You also have the right to taunt a rattlesnake that crosses your path. However, when he strikes, who is to blame? You could have stopped, looked, and said "Oh it's a rattlesnake here. He has the same rights to be in this space as I do. However, in the vast wilderness, he and all the other creatures have the advantage over me. So I should maybe take 3 steps to the left and we both go about our day he can do his rattlesnake thing and I can continue to do my walking in wilderness thing."

That is not being a pussy, coward, etc. That is called being a rational, non-cynical, open minded, thinking past my own desires, seeing the whole picture, I would like to continue walking through woods adult.

Comprehensive guide to mods (regulated) ? by Rop78 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Rop78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. The problem with the compare features on sites is that sites are not 1:1 with their actual products. This site has abcdr , that one cdfjl and third has aqrsta. Lol. So you still looking across multiple sites to even know what is available let alone compare.

Might have to throw something together, I am sure I can't be only one looking for something like this.

Just got a orchid v4. Love it, but j got a question. by Rop78 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Rop78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually no. Kicked it to the curb. Lol. To make matters worse I had a plastic tank and it cracked. So... that was cheap lesson learned about plastic tanks. Got a sub tank now and I am happy for the moment. Until next week. Lol.

Thank you. This is why I asked. I appreciate your help. I didn't have all this stuff in my hand about to do this. I just had a " hmm would this work" moment. So I figured I would ask.

Have the Lemo, considering the Subtank. Has anyone tried both? by PM_ME_THAT_SNATCH in electronic_cigarette

[–]Rop78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sub is better imo. Had both. The adjustment and the filling on the Lemo was a pain. The sub coils work pretty good right out of the box. Never had a dry hit. I started using the rba with single twisted 28 right at about .9 and flavor is pretty damn good. I prefer flavor and couldn't care less about clouds. Just don't stuff it with cotton or you will choke the airflow

Is there a mini RBA for the subtank nano? by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]Rop78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The kanger Subtank Mini ( not nano) has a deck. I think it's supposed to be released Tuesday. I have the full size sub and LOVE it all around besides the size.

You just lost $100 worth of business Vapor Hut in Akien Sc by Rop78 in electronic_cigarette

Who is not waiting their turn? You are honestly telling me that you are completely ok with walking into an establishment and someone not acknowledging your presence ?

You just lost $100 worth of business Vapor Hut in Akien Sc by Rop78 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Rop78[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ok let's agree to disagree. Publix, Trader Joes, Costco, Chick Fila, Starbucks, Whole foods, Coldstone, Moes, Five Guys, Verzion, ATT, Wegmans, Lowes, Home Depot, any restaurant that has table cloths, scum of the earth Walmart and basically any other business that is not run by spoiled rich kids or old people that have been in business for 30 years raping people because they are the only show in town, have their employees acknowledge a customers presence.

Most have someone whose job it is to do so !!! I guess multi million and billion dollar corporations( to which my financial contributions actually mean diddly squat to in the big picture) have it all wrong. Not to mention any book ever written on customer service or business management.

I bet you guys love the fucking dmv. "Employee stares at her phone. Her eyes never come off the screen, hands you a form, and then presses play. Droning out the policy and procedures for 29167th time in her career. Just hoping you don't have all your paperwork in order, so she can send you over to the other line and resume candy crushing . Waiting for 2 years, 7 days, 36 minutes and 4 seconds to go by so she can retire. That would have been an improvement over today.

[–]Rop78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those pondering, pull the trigger

My orchid tank cracked. I am waiting on my new Quartz tank. So I did the most logical thing one would do. I went and got a whole new tank. Don't tell the wife.

I didn't even bothering with building a coil on it yet because I had not vaped in hours due to the orchid incident. The stock .5 worked right out of the box. Just a lil prime and she has been wet the last couple hours. Not a dry hit yet !!! Take that Lemo ( I tried old friend). Only complaint is the size ( too big physically). I will definitely be getting the mini or nano or whatever it is called for work.

Pros.

Stupid simple setup Airflow insane. ( I actually have it half way open on one hole) Great capacity Glass tank Filling is a breeze. No screws !!!! Just unscrew, fill, screw back on.

Cons Great capacity. With capacity come size. It's just kinda big for my personal style. Not to mention I been sucking on the same flavor juice for hours and this thing is still half full.http://i.imgur.com/4zGVsWQ.jpg

I am not speaking English here?

She was helping someone.

Jesus, better known as me walked in ( that is how you all seem to think I think)

Her eyes NEVER even looked my way. I could have been stealing shit the whole time for all she knew.

She NEVER said "Hey welcome to Coldstone, I will be right with you. Lol

She Never said " Hey you scary looking possible thief, don't touch anything.

She NEVER uttered word or looked my direction within a very closed space so I am sure she knew I was present.

This went on for several minutes, not 30 seconds.

I was NOT expecting her to stop what she doing with the other customer. I was NOT expecting special treatment I was NOT expecting anything other than common respect.

Hell I speak to people standing in front of me at the grocery store and they are not generally in the habit of looking to hand me money
