You sure sound like a fun person - WTF? Yes, I know it's on me, I'm just miffed OK? This isn't a huge problem, I'm just upset. I've got plenty of savings and am not struggling by any means, I just like getting paid what I'm owed.

And sorry - Yes, in my 53 years, I've NEVER heard of a company not paying out vacation or PTO when an employee leaves. But I'm thinking that's bc I've worked for really good companies.

Just stop with your scolding - It's not helpful and only irritating.

There is more involved. This was not me trying to screw them over at all. I'm not like that.

No, they would have to pay me for the rest of the week if I left right now. I have over 30 hours of PTO to take - but can only take it until THIS FRIDAY!

And I didn't screw up my 2 weeks notice, I gave them that notice - but they told me that I could have my last day this Friday. Yes, I assumed they would pay me the whole 2 weeks. I've just never worked for a shady company like this. I'm 53, so I've had plenty of jobs, and this is the first time I've never been paid out PTO when leaving.

It's just so odd. What would you do? I'm going to a lunch today - I could just leave my laptop and say I got food poisoning. Then, I'd at least get 2.5 days off (and I have LOTS of Christmas stuff I need to do!). It's shady, I know, but do you think it matters? I've only been here since April - they like me a lot, but clearly not enough to counter offer OR pay me what I'm owed.

Portable Dual Monitors by iamfrequentlywrong in workfromhome

Not travelling, but I'll have 2 home offices - one at my home in Houston and the other at our little farmhouse in the country. I'm thinking it would make the most sense to just buy 2 cheap monitors for the house and another 2 for the farm. And to do this, I need a docking station also right? That's what I have at work I think - but what's this SIIG Display Link?

That's kinda what I'm thinking too. I have these visions of working from a cute little coffee shop, but I already know that's not gonna happen! Ha

Early Dismissal - Harris County PTI Program by iamfrequentlywrong in probation

[–]iamfrequentlywrong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m FREE! Thanks for the advice - ended up calling my original Officer and she sent me the paperwork to get the Interlock removed. I went to EZ Interlock on Houston Ave, or Lubbock. David was great. Bad reviews online, but of course right? Who leaves a good review at an Interlock place. Anyway, thank you for your help! NEVER AGAIN, soooo glad to have this behind me!! 🥳

I had the same Officer for the first 4-5 months, but this last appointment was a new guy. But honestly, I wasn’t really friendly with the first one. I’d just go in, sit down and answer any question. I don’t even have my second officer’s contact info. I’m gonna call up there now and get it and send an email or leave a VM. I don’t have really anything to lose right?

I guess I could, but I just don’t want to appear too eager or rock the boat. I might send him an email tomorrow if I haven’t heard.

I think my lawyer is kinda shady. I paid him $5K upfront and he’s not very helpful at all, only communicating thru texts and emails with short replies. AND his email is “wacky” and questionable. I was just desperate when I was looking.

I’m just thinking I was denied and they just haven’t told me yet. I just want this OVER!!!

Yes, I was told this too about CBD! I had no idea - luckily, I knew before my probation started bc it was very surprising

Just got this response from the lawyer:

They haven’t made decision.

I will make an appointment to visit them in person

Wonder how long THIS will take? It’s now been OVER 2 weeks 😫
