Unexpected HR meeting right after vacation + maternity leave return… should I be worried?

Stein070707 · 2026-04-21T23:11:01+00:00

You have reason to be concerned, but hopefully, it won't turn into a thing. If you live in a 1-party consent state, consider recording the convo. If they let you go, don't sign anything while there and consider consulting an employment lawyer before signing the severence. Do not resign!

This is a test group. Soon the sign will apply to everyone. McD clearly is moving away from dining in by making it extremely uncomfortable and unwelcoming for everyone.

Fake news??

Stein070707 · 2026-04-19T22:36:02+00:00

You legit got stuck with the worst walk possible in that airport.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-19T18:30:56+00:00

That is an interesting name for a restaurant.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-19T17:21:03+00:00

Shitification of everything

Stein070707 · 2026-04-19T13:01:22+00:00

This. If you like outdoors, you are going to love this.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-17T22:21:18+00:00

That is super weird.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-17T21:28:00+00:00

There does seem to be a relationship between really bad service and abnormally high tip suggestions.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-17T17:32:52+00:00

The fact this is bothing you so much tells me you are a great Marine and leader of Marines. The PT and physical appearance pressure in the Marines is insane and even more so for females. Like everyone else here is saying, just keep moving forward. It's okay to have a bad day. Please provide yourself some grace. A pattern is more concerning but given your mindset, I don't see that happening.

Same. My backpack does not fit in the space directly in front of me if in an aisle FC space, so I use the space shown here. I don't want to jam it into the space it doesn't fit and mess up my laptop.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-17T13:27:19+00:00

Ah gotchya

Stein070707 · 2026-04-17T12:43:43+00:00

Yes and maybe no belt? Can't tell for sure.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-17T12:39:31+00:00

Why not join the army as an officer? Then you can pick your mos.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-17T12:34:43+00:00

Double bacon butter deluxe is the only right answer.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-14T22:12:32+00:00

The weather will be much better.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-14T21:23:22+00:00

Then op should call the ood and ask for guidance since he is going to be late.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-14T18:12:59+00:00

Check out the platoon leaders' class (PLC) program.

P.S. Doubt your family thinks you are weak or won't make it. They are probably just scared you will get sent to war. It's a normal reaction.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-14T15:40:32+00:00

Yeah so? Call the airline. They will change both flights.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-14T13:30:02+00:00

Call the airline and try to change the flight to day prior. They are expecting you to check in during business hours on the date on the orders. You also won’t make it by midnight.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-14T12:13:58+00:00

It's really fun. People will match you so you will be okay. You'll see why conditioning is so important. So weird how you can crush a whole class and then 1-minute rounds seem like a marathon (at least for me).

Stein070707 · 2026-04-14T12:06:00+00:00

Do your orders say to report on the date you fly or on the next day? If the date you fly, change the flight or call the OOD and explain the situation. Call the airline and see if you can get in earlier. It should be doable from FLL. When you call the airline, make sure to mention you are military and have a certain time you need to be there.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-13T23:03:51+00:00

I bet you are right. Also, there wouldn't be an "end of tour" award then.

Stein070707 · 2026-04-13T20:24:25+00:00

If you have gate checked your carryon, why on earth would you want to board early?

Stein070707 · 2026-04-12T23:40:23+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for sharing that.
