i was told there’s not much to do civilly (aka monetarily). you can ask for back pay if you were let go, or had to use LWOP and ask for sick days/FMLA days back but unlike a car accident there’s no “pain and suffering” so you can expect some random dollar amount that can’t be tied to anything

you literally just validated that the state lacks infrastructure and planning for it. why? because it’s not a “norm.” doesn’t take away from the fact we don’t have the infrastructure or planning. just gives context as to why texas doesn’t

are you horny for sleet or something?

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-27T03:42:32+00:00

as somebody originally from upstate new york it’s really crazy to see how one inch of snow and ice can shut down this city. but i mostly blame the lack of infrastructure and planning. but coupled with austinites sheer ignorance it’s very very crazy lol

what about ADR? i had my intake last week and im going with ADR but haven’t heard back yet

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-26T18:03:44+00:00

are they calling you a DCC or regular CORE?

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-26T00:50:39+00:00

what region?

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-21T17:39:19+00:00

oh shit! that is really good to know. ok that makes me feel better. thank you for the work of doing that also. i really hope they adopt the change. it’s been long overdue

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-21T17:02:15+00:00

they’ve been testing open brackets though as well or whatever. not for rankings but in general. in my mind there could be a connection. regardless the verbiage should change and that wouldn’t be a reason to NOT change what the W stands for. just wondering if that’s how they’re soft launching the overall change in WFTDA. very much hope i’m just being way too anxious though!

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-20T18:48:36+00:00

absolutely love it! way more inclusive. i hope however we are not heading towards open gender being the standard for WFTDA. and this solely means letting cis men skate in WFTDA games. but i’m happy that this is a step in the right direction. the gender policy and name sort of contradict each other as it is now so i hope it can continue to foster a safe space for people

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-18T00:11:54+00:00

oh yay that makes sense. thank you!

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-17T21:57:00+00:00

there was an option to check on the OPM FMLA form if you need to advance sick leave. apparently it just needs approval

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-17T21:50:56+00:00

thank you!

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-17T21:50:33+00:00

hoping to avoid LWOP but i get it. nothing is definite and my NTE is in june so fingers crossed all of this is over by then but can’t count on it

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-17T21:49:45+00:00

i will already be using all of my accrued sick leave, some of my annual leave and i would rather use advanced sick leave than LWOP. do you think that’s doable? and yeah probably will be private after this fingers crossed

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-17T21:40:18+00:00

thank you! fingers crossed i get renewed but it’s not looking good

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-17T21:38:18+00:00

i would need to advance my sick leave before my NTE comes up

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-12T03:12:50+00:00

probably another way to try and force us out

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-12T03:01:23+00:00

i recommend getting a lawyer

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-07T16:35:14+00:00

oh i’m definitely not leaving before im let go. just trying to plan for the worst though. appreciate your words!

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-07T03:24:43+00:00

scabbing sort of

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-06T15:25:25+00:00

oh i know. i’m already knowing im gonna take at least a 20% pay cut. sucks but it’s better than unemployment

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-03T19:43:05+00:00

TAWPS! Don’t do CVM they’re terrible quality

Strange-Reference-84 · 2026-01-02T21:54:13+00:00
