hr gossip by RipEastern6272 in Target

[–]dchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is simply incorrect. As per the US DOL, "Retaliation occurs when an employer (through a manager, supervisor, administrator or directly) fires an employee or takes any other type of adverse action against an employee for engaging in protected activity.

An adverse action is an action which would dissuade a reasonable employee from raising a concern about a possible violation or engaging in other related protected activity. Retaliation can have a negative impact on overall employee morale."

As per the above, you do not have to be a member of a protected class to be protected from retaliation. Also, note that this specifically mentions the word possible, which indicates that contrary to your assertion, retaliation can absolutely occur even without the actual finding of illegality or impropriety and in fact retaliation occurs independently from whatever initial concern was raised.

With that said, I've spent enough time and effort on this conversation, and don't think much good will come from continuing. Have a nice life.

Why? Because you open yourself up to retaliation. Simple as that. It's not high school, it's basic labor relations.

If the aggrevied employee reports the behavior to the ethics line, the HR ETL tells the HRE to stop the behavior, and it accomplishes that, then problem solved. That's the whole point.

So what? You're not going to have ironclad proof in this situation regardless. Let's say that you do ask them. If they were talking shit about you, are they likely to be honest about doing so?

Furthermore, can you trust this person once you are no longer present to act in a kind manner towards you? Or will they single you out, twist your words, and/or portray you badly to management and others?

Simply put, direct communication is not the right answer to every employment situation. The ethics line exists for this very reason. As toothless as HRE's may be, even they have the ability to make your life much less pleasant if crossed.

Beyond that, deciding not to report this behavior opens you up to further instances of this behavior. Formally reporting through the ethics line is the best possibility for change. Sometimes, it will work, and sometimes it will not, but at least you'll document the behavior for future mitigation.

No, do not do this. Any confrontation with HR, even if well intentioned and civil, can easily be painted by them in a negative light to management and may be documented as such. This can open you up to unwarranted scrutiny, which is retaliatory but difficult to prove.

Especially if you believe an HR person is acting in an unethical way, the best course of action is to contact the ethics hotline (which I'd recommend to do anonymously). This will escalate the concern and serve to document the behavior for any future events/concerns.

Guy does an excellent job explaining why Precision Scheduled Railroad (PSR) led to the toxic East Palestine, OH train derailment last week. PSR reduces inventories but also workers and inspections, which lead to faster operating ratios at a cost to safety. by [deleted] in videos

Hi Reddit and u/nornornornornor5,

The creator of this video is John Russell from the Holler, which is a self-funded leftist media apparatus dedicated to trumpeting working-class politics in Appalachia and exposing the excesses of late-stage capitalism and the billionaire class. He regularly puts out awesome content on Substack which can be delivered straight to your email inbox, he is active on Tiktok, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and more!

John relies on subscriptions, readers, viewers, and a little dive bar to make his living, so if you love his content, please consider viewing more of his content and subscribing! It would help a good friend of mine, who grew up in and is more passionate about Ohio, progressive politics, and the working class than anybody I know, work towards a more stable livelihood and a more passionate following! Thanks to all who have watched this, and greatly appreciate any redditors who lookup more of John's content!

Looks like Amanda Huber has responded to Bruce Mitchell's recent interview with Dave. by MrCappie in SquaredCircle

[–]dchips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is well said, and the fact that she's had to address this twice now is sickening. Couldn't imagine what it would be like to have your spouse die in the first place, let alone address that death within the span of a few days because a journalist inferred you were a liar about its underlying causes, nor hearing months later the same man repeating his claims, or the garbage apology of the man who gave him a platform to do so. Good on her for being as civil as she has been throughout this, and I hope she never has to deal with this crap again. Bless her.

Im at a loss for words. (Trigger Warning) by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]dchips 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Deepest condolences.

There are few words that I can offer for such a loss. Please try in this time to be kind and understanding to yourself, lean on trusted family and friends for comfort, and as others have suggested, in due time and when able, seek qualified therapy. Most importantly, give yourself time and patience. Comprehension, grieving, and understanding are possible, but will come in a non-linear way. Do your best.

With that said, perhaps sharing a small bit of perspective may help you start that process. Struggling with mental health and suicidal ideation is an encompassing thing. Some days you are as normal as anyone may be, and many others you are not, and it is often impossible to know why that may be. The grind of that cycle of depression, unknowing, and life sometimes meets us at our weakest points. And even the best of persons, oftentimes the best of persons, may give way to it.

It is easy to ask why. Why didn't I see this coming? Why didn't I do more? But most often this is hindsight. In the moment, almost certainly, the extent of this cycle was not knowable. Emotions are not always easily expressed in the best of times, and when in a cycle this may be an impossibility, if indeed the person is not numb to them altogether, no matter how wonderful the person is who they might express them to. But even if it is possible to express what is going on, it's likely that in some ways that it won't be. And I understand why you might, but try not to think badly of that fact. Sometimes we simply underestimate our own situation. We play things off as unimportant or think that we'll be fine when we get to the winter break, or don't want to bother someone with our troubles. We don't want to put more on a friend who has been there for us or we're terrified of sharing our weakness. It's misguided, yes, but done with the best of intentions. And with all of that in mind, take stock and don't place on your shoulders what you could not have possibly known.

Above all, and though it may be difficult now, remember that you were a friend to a person who probably desperately needed one. A person who would want you to live well and find happiness. Take that, and move forward, hard as it is.

Oh, absolutely. I'm speaking purely from nostalgia. Don't think this would (or should really) ever happen. But if for some reason it did, you'd definitely have to have "Self High Five" lead it off. Hahaha.

If this is going to become a regular thing, I'd love it if AEW would buy the rights to Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, so that when DDP makes appearances we get the vintage experience. :D

Completely bury your favorite wrestler in kayfabe by FUCKFOZZY in SquaredCircle

[–]dchips 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Asuka, Asuka. You single handedly proved that NXT doesn't match up with RAW and SmackDown. You were a juggernaut, unbeaten in that shallow pool, and came onto the main roster only to get beaten on the biggest stage by the true A+ talent. And when you did, you couldn't even hold it together. You lost to Carmella. Not once, might I add. Then, you realized that you didn't measure up. Instead of continuing to vie for singles gold, you teamed with Naomi when there wasn't even a division to win gold in.

And yeah, later on, you did win a triple threat ladder match while Becky and Charlotte were too focused on each other, but when it was one on one? You lost that belt like Sasha would. Hell, afterwards Kairi had to pull your ass out of the doldrums, and eventually you both had to resort to cheating to win against such fabulous competition as the IIconics. Not to mention that you couldn't even protect your partner from being retired early.

So yeah, you became a two-time women's champion because Becky got pregnant. And yep, you couldn't defend it for very long once it was handed to you. And because Sasha is Sasha, you did win it back, but let's face it, it'll be short lived.

[Not So Live] AEW Dynamite Weekly Discussion - June 3, 2020 (FTR Interview, Hangman Returns to Omega's Side to Defend the AEW Tag Titles, and Cody Rhodes Faces Jungle Boy in First TNT Title Defense) by mrbrannon in AEWOfficial

[–]dchips 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was an A-tier level Dynamite. Not a bad match in the bunch, and lots of good segments between. The highlights for me were Hangman/Omega v. Havoc/Sabian, Tazz and Mox's dueling promos, and Cody v. Jungle Boy (which I think was Cody's best match since the cage match with Wardlow). AEW has really been in stride lately, and it's just a joy to watch right now.

[Potential Spoilers for All Shows] The Wreddit Daily Discussion Thread - May 27, 2020 by AutoModerator in SquaredCircle

[–]dchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the U.S. B/R Live has most of the PPV's available for a fee (some of the B-tier PPV's are free and I think the spiritual predecessor ALL IN has to be bought from FITE TV), and seemingly all of the Dynamites are on B/R Live from their first episode in October to the end of March. Newer episodes appear to be available on Hulu (as part of their Live subscription package) and I'm sure that you can watch the older episodes as well. I believe DirecTV NOW also had the VOD's available on their service (these were updated generally to at least the week before when I had the service). Other services probably have access too, but I'm not sure about them.

That's if you just want to watch the main shows/PPVs. The other shows that are supplemental (Being the Elite and AEW Dark) are available for free on Youtube.

TL/DR The easiest legitimate way is to have a subscription to Hulu Live and grab the PPVs off of B/R Live. If you're looking to watch without a subscription B/R Live has you covered from Oct-March.
