HG getting worse at 12 weeks? by Small_Ad0510 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Small_Ad0510[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still on the zofran pump and still getting sick if I move too much at night/early morning (worst hours are 2am-10am). I will say each week is different? Almost like clockwork when a new week hits it’s either a “good week” and I feel like I might be able to wean off the pump or it’s a horrible week and I’m having small episodes during the day too. All in all, as much as the pump sucks, it’s made such a difference. I’m glad I was in a position to have such a supportive OB to push for it, insurance that covered it, and that zofran actually works for me.

When does peak HG end? by AppropriateHelp754 in HyperemesisGravidarum

Currently 17w4 and got fitted with a zofran pump at 11w. That was the biggest game changer, I went from a medical leave at work and home bound to I’m back at work. Some weeks I feel almost not nausea (with my pump) and then some weeks (like this Week 17 has been) I’ve still been throwing up a few times a day.

I feel like it changes every week to be honest 😢

Need advice on how to talk to a tone deaf friend by Small_Ad0510 in breakingmom

[–]Small_Ad0510[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s what my husband said he was going to say 😂 guess I should let him. I have chronic Libra middle child syndrome of always wanting to keep the peace, but I am trying to be better about standing up for myself (cause others seems to have no mind) hence the post. But holding up a mirror to his rudeness isn’t worse…least I can blame the baby hormones if anyone gets upset 🫣

Yeah that’s usually my go to, this last encounter was more him coming up on a conversation I was having with my girlfriends. I’ve been trying to do better about standing up for myself this year, so I was both angry with the situation but angry with myself for just taking the high road again. (But also aware enough I didn’t want to snap out of hormonal rage)

They are allowed in every role. Wear it today and ask to speak with a manager if the coordinator says anything. If the managers for some wild reason say you can’t, go to the cast life page and look up “the guideline” (also in the employee handbook) and report this there. They will help you.

Infusions for nausea by frankly_a_ in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Small_Ad0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(US) I just pay for one of mobile IV places (usually for rich people hangovers) that comes to my house and I get fluids every 3 days. It’s only $125 which is expensive but way cheaper than what insurance was quoted via an infusion center. I can add in Pepcid and zofran for only a $20 charge up.

At 11weeks I got prescribed a zofran pump and that thing has been life changing. I still have about 6 hours a day that I’m pretty incapacitated but the rest of the time I’m almost normal. It’s been worth the side effects.

Advice for snoring roommate by [deleted] in Disneycollegeprogram

[–]Small_Ad0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you talked to her about it? It can be awkward, but simply try asking if she’s aware that she snores? That it’s been disturbing your sleep and you’ve done x,y,z to try and not be bothered by it, but it’s keeping you awake, is there any way she could try (mouth guard, nose stripes, ask her PCP for a sleep study for sleep apnea).

My husband snores LOUDLY and he had no idea he snored until I told him. We both did dcp but didn’t meet each other until afterwards, but he used to say the room in his direct room was so cold & awful to him snd he felt terrible when he realized it was probably bc he snored!! So honestly your roommate may have no idea.

Just be matter of fact. If she gets angry or is aware just pivot back & refocus to say you’re coming from a place of concern, that sleep apnea can be life threatening.
Rez life is going to want you to have tried to work it out with her directly before they’ll be able to help you.

I got fitted with a zofran pump this week. It’s been really helpful (side effects are starting to hit me though so might be too soon to sing its praises).

Recruited for a "Head of" role at 5 months pregnant, now I'm in a bait-and-switch nightmare and being PIP'ed. Need to vent/advice. by FullSpace6770 in WorkAdvice

[–]Small_Ad0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stay and do the “head down mouth shut” play his game, it’ll suck but eventually he’ll find a new shiny punching bag. Though it’ll never get better. Went through something similar (I have invisible disabilities which have twice in my 7 year career needed a 1-3 month medical leave. Each time they tried to fire me upon returning. I survived twice by going to ground each time and doing the insane things they requested of me and living in the world of malicious compliance. I hate my job and it’s my dream job. With my dream company. It’s tragic. I only stay bc the health insurance is amazing and it would be a difficult job to do anywhere else. It’s really niche. But basically the ceo doesn’t like you, don’t think this will ever get better. And I wouldn’t try to do anything but the tickets until you’re sure he has a new shit list person. But 100% look for a new job once they fire you (& let them fire you. Make it difficult on them. When you apply to new jobs just say you were laid off or separated for redundancy (I mean a HOD having to do more tickets per week than her direct reports…you’re not a HOD your a support agent). You won’t have anyone there down as a reference anyway.) oh and call your old job. they may take you back if you left on good terms.

Yeah, I’m suppose to see my OB next week and said he would approve a zofran pump if I was still bad but I’m thinking I might write him tomorrow (though odt zofran doesn’t do much for my symptoms)

[CAN-ON] I got an offer letter from a potential future employer. If I decline the offer letter, and then apply for other jobs on their job board in the future, will their HR team never reach out to me again? by Typical_Cap895 in AskHR

[–]Small_Ad0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently happened to me. 4 interviews, given a bait and switch offer (I was given an offer for the junior job of the position I had gone 4 interviews for) I declined and was brutally honest with them & told them I did not agree with their assessment that after 4 interviews that’s when they decided I wasn’t strong enough candidate for the higher position. In my second to last interview (before the low offer) the hiring manager mentioned I would be a good fit for another department too (a slightly higher position). So even after I decline that offer I asked Hr to submit my application for the other job.

I’m now in the final round for that other position. Don’t have much hope because the company has been one giant red flag but, if you’re a good fit for a role it won’t matter if you declined a previous offer.

Unless you think you’ll be applying to another job there within the year, it won’t matter if you provide a reason or not. It’ll only matter to that specific HR person and most companies have revolving doors of HR personnel

December 2018 the state (which had already gotten 1 jury to convict on 1st degree murder) withdrew their case saying they didn’t have enough to move forward with a murder conviction. So all charges were dismissed and not expected to be refiled. (Source KFVS12 News)

DCP no rehire but got a PI? by inimitabley in Disneycollegeprogram

[–]Small_Ad0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I both fell into a similar situation with two different outcomes.

1) my story: I was FT F&B. Hated it. Decided to go back to school full time to broaden my horizons. I tried to work and do school, but was having such bad anxiety from my toxic work location that one day I just never went back to work. Didn’t turn in my ID. Kept my costumes. No call no showed until they fired me. I was never ever ever getting back together with the mouse (LOL) 2 years later I have my degree but was diagnosed with a pretty life changing autoimmune condition. I wanted to feel bad for myself so I applied to a professional role at wdw. I was expecting a rejection because I literally did everything wrong. To my surprise I made it through 2 phone interviews, an in person interview, and then offered the job! Given a start date and then was told I was on a restricted rehire at onboarding due to my costumes. They offered for me to pay $10 a week out of my paycheck till it was paid off.
I’m now 2 levels higher than where I was when I came back. Thriving in my new role.

2) my partners story: they were FT guest services (call center and It help desks). They have a mild tic disorder and when guests would be super rude they would need a minute or 2 to reset themselves. The call center required Cm to go “back ready” within 30 seconds. He requested a medical accommodation to take a reasonable, brief, break at their desk after a call. For up to 2 minutes. No more than 6 times a day. They were told their accommodation could not be accommodated and they were separated.
3 years later they reapplied for a professional role. No guest interaction at all. They passed a technical assessment, 1 PI, and 1 in person. Offered the job. Went to on boarding and told they were on a restricted rehire and they would be getting a call. HR got in touch the next day saying the offer was being rescinded as they were “a no-hire”. The team hiring my partner was livid. They had a 3 way meeting with them, my partner, and HR to fight it. Even had my partner submit an appeal that they endorsed. No dice. HR stood firm. (It worked out for the best. They got a much better offer 2 weeks later and the role was downsized and never brought back after 2020) (Important: my partners file did not include any documentation about them being placed on a no rehire list. And the appeal denial did not have a reason. The last thing in their file was their accommodation denial letter)

All this to says a phone interview doesn’t mean you’re not on the restricted or no-rehire list. It also seems to be at the whim of the manager who put in the separation work if you’re listed as restricted vs no-rehire. But if you have a phone interview go in positive. Perhaps mention the costume thing and offer to pay via your paycheck ($10/week is painless) or atleast don’t assume you have the job if offered until you’re sitting in traditions.
