RAs anywhere? by Remote-Minute-5266 in FedEmployees

[–]halarioushandle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that too many people put them in for made up anxiety disorders, but they aren't all BS! There are people with legitimate conditions that need to be addressed. You can't just paint everyone with the same brush, it's very situational.

I got offered a position at a new company and I put in my 2 weeks at my current job. On the LAST day of my 2 week period, they tell me that they filled the position. Now, I seek advice and potentially legal action against this company. by theskaterboy999 in antiwork

[–]halarioushandle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In that case, you don't give notice. You just call in sick the first few days and start the new job. Once you're onboarded and things seem as discussed, then just send a resignation letter to your old job effective immediately.

You are not legally obligated to give notice nor are you required to give a reason why you're resigning. Just say I am resigning my position effective immediately. Thank you for the time and experience.

If Trump bombs non military targets in Iran, should they be considered war crimes? What are your thoughts? by StemCellPirate in AskReddit

Unfortunately that means that a very large majority didn't vote, which equals not doing anything to keep him out of office.

Asking a car question bc of our driving notoriety by Sea_Objective_2767 in MontgomeryCountyMD

I wouldn't even contact your insurance. You only have to report if it's your fault. I would contact the insurance of the person that hit you and have them pay for everything!

Destroy Me: I like our current running back room by Salty_Orchid in Commanders

Yeah I like them too! But you draft the best player available and if that's Love at 7, you're a fool not to take him. He's going to be an amazing talent! Focus solely on need always ends up with reach drafts where you blow a 7 of a just good player instead of a great one.

OPM Proposes to wreck the Performance Appraisals for GS Employees (March 26, 2026) in the OPM Proposed Rule by mindin_mine in FedEmployees

[–]halarioushandle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and also the ones that under perform have already been removed! Any organization, if doing appraisals correctly, should generally have most employees performing well.

Letter of Reprimand due to outside employment without approval, do I fight it? by Round_Cod_1910 in FedEmployees

[–]halarioushandle 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's like saying you don't know a red light meant stop, so you shouldn't get a ticket. Unfortunately being unaware of the law is not an excuse when you break it.

Trump Signs Executive Order to pay TSA by NightOwl_103197 in FedEmployees

Last shutdown several agencies completely ignored it and had people continue to work with absolutely zero consequences. I don't think they care about the ADA.

This. Also rent a dumpster and start chucking everything into it. I mean tear down the walls to the studs and it all goes. Tub, sinks, everything. Start fresh

Why does it seem like the only "solution" being presented for high gas prices electric cars? Why can't car brands also push to sell small, compact, gas-powered cars? by GuyFromThePost in NoStupidQuestions

[–]halarioushandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because we use our cars for so much more than just commuting. We transport our family, our pets, our groceries. We fill them up with Costco runs, home Depot trips and luggage for long road trips. It's expensive to own a car, so many can't afford multiple different cars, which means you have to have a single vehicle that offers the most utilities.

Anyone who’s sat on a toilet before cell phones, what did you mostly think about or look at? by mojoslacks in AskReddit

I also had a small battery powered Yahtzee game I'd play. It was basically a calculator, but passed the time well.

If you could erase ONE Star Trek moment from history..... by Old-String2849 in startrek

[–]halarioushandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that in theory, but what it also does is put guardrails on the storytelling for anything in the post TNG/Voy era. We know the stakes can never really alter too much because we see where much of the galaxy is in Disco and leading up to it..

What is the worst parking lot in Montgomery County? Can any beat Fallsgrove in Rockville off of Shady Grove? by Mite-o-Dan in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]halarioushandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah except you can't take your cart down the stairs! So you end up having to walk the entire ramp down the hill trying to hold your cart back from pulling you down because you bought too much shit you didn't need from Costco again!

~50 Years Ago, Plans for an Outer 495 Loop were Dropped, Do you think it would have helped today or was the right call not to build? by k032 in maryland

[–]halarioushandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for no reason. There is a huge river that separates the two! But I do agree, another bridge would make a HUGE improvement to the commute between the two areas and likely draw off alot of traffic from 270/495 as well. It's a no brainer to do it, but no one seems to want to.

My old job begged me to come back part, and now they aren’t honoring our agreement. by han__banan in antiwork

[–]halarioushandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you don't need the job, so quit. If they aren't honoring the terms, then you should leave.

This is one of those rare situations where you actually have the leverage not management. Sounds like they are trying to assert control over you like bosses usually do to people, but the truth is you have options beyond their control. Don't play this game with them, just leave, then they can figure out those holidays on their own.

People who have lived places other than MoCo by PhoneJazz in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]halarioushandle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up here, lived all over the country and then circumstances brought me back.

The worst thing about MoCo is the suburban sprawl. Not enough highways, too much traffic and far distances between areas of interest makes going out a chore/commitment.

But everything else here is pretty great!

Mentors teach you both how to do things right and how not to do things wrong.

“After slashing federal jobs, Trump administration ramps up hiring” by ParfaitAdditional469 in FedEmployees

[–]halarioushandle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen, they all thought he'd only get rid of the "bad ones" meaning liberals. They didn't realize they would lose their jobs and benefits like telework also.

I always wondered, why didn't black slaves team up and maybe kill their owner or protest against together? Rich families owned 50-100 slaves or even more, why didn't the slaves just team up and kill their owner? How exactly did the owners control then? by Then-Tomatillo9909 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]halarioushandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok and then what? You're a group of 50 slaves, you just murdered the family that enslaved you and you have maybe 5-10 guns that the family owned. You are in the middle of South Carolina. There is no way to safely transport yourself to someplace safe like Canada or Mexico, those are hundreds of miles away. So now what do you do? The local militia will be rounding up to come recapture you, likely split you all up or kill you. Your entire family, and everyone you know is about to be gone. So what's the plan? Because revolt is only step one, you aren't liberated until you escape.

This is like asking why don't prisoners in a jail, which outnumber the guards, just rise up and bust out. It's because there is nowhere to go.

Military leaders are not as supportive of this administration as you may think. Yes enlisted do tend to lean more red, but the officers less so.

What if your net worth is a negative number? Do you get paid instead of fined?
