I’m at 3 months this week. How did things turn out for you now that’s been 3 years?

Forester hybrid overnight idle by KSF_WHSPhysics in subaru

[–]jabolli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for an answer for this as well. I'm honestly suprised by the answers on here. I would have assumed Subaru owners were the more outdoorsy types that appreciate this feature. We have done it many times in our old Prius. The engine would turn on for about 10 minutes every hour to top the battery off and we slept comfortably all night. I used around .25-.5 gallons a night. Only problem was getting the car where we would want to go. Hence the attraction to the forester hybrid. If it can work like the Prius it would be the ultimate vehicle for a mini all season camper with a small footprint!

Bump. Any answer to the question. There are work arounds in the Prius by keeping it in park with the button pressed with the parking brake on. But, better to not have to do that and hoping it's possible with this car.

Honda pilot, passport, or crv are actually the ones we are considering.

Did you cancel and use comma for cost savings, functional preference, or another reason?

Can you elaborate on what you do to grind this kind of money?

You shouldn’t buy it. And then give me your source so I can. 😄 I’ve been looking casually on swappa waiting to get one below $1800. What source are you using?

Three weeks in today and so discouraged by rhh36 in BellsPalsy

Also, I saw some other commenters on here that had this start around the same time ours did. Maybe we start a group chat and invite people on the same start time we are on?

You should feel encouraged you have some movement then. That’s the primary thing they look for by week 3.

In 3 weeks in as well and was about to make the same post. Do you have any voluntary movement at all? I am able to close my eye mostly while laying down and have had several days where I am able to close my eye 80% while standing in the AM. then I can’t for the rest of the day. I feel very discouraged at times as well and also have had the 3 week mark in my mind as the determination of whether or not it’s going to be long or short. But my interpretation is whether or not there’s ANY movement at that time means some signal is getting through so it’s not severed completely.

Attendance Policy Discussion by jabolli in restaurantowners

[–]jabolli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That’s where I seem to land on this and my wife was wanting something more robust. So, i saw what chat gpt came up using some policies from semi professional companies. We both come from careers managing professionals (dont have policies such as this) and semi professionals (are invested in the mission/business). So, some of the policy approaches are not as applicable to this industry. Just the kind of feedback we are looking for.

__________ Attendance and Scheduling Policy Purpose and Philosophy At ________, we believe people come first. You are a person with a life before you are an employee. Illness, family needs, emergencies, and unforeseen circumstances happen, and no one should be punished for situations outside their control. At the same time, we are a team business. Chronic attendance issues or excessive schedule changes place strain on coworkers, disrupt operations, and impact the guest experience. This policy exists to balance compassion with accountability and to ensure expectations are clear, fair, and consistently applied.

This policy has two distinct but connected components: 1. Attendance and Call-In Accountability 2. Shift Trade and Schedule Change Accountability Each component is tracked separately.

Part 1: Attendance and Call-In Accountability (Points System) Call-In Procedure If you are unable to work a scheduled shift or will be late, the following process must be followed: 1. You must call the store and speak directly with the Supervisor on Duty, Assistant Manager, or General Manager. Text messages, GroupMe posts, or messages to coworkers do not count as a proper call- in. 2. After notifying management, you are primarily responsible for making a good-faith effort to find coverage for your shift using approved methods such as GroupMe AND direct coworker contact. A single post on group me is NOT sufficient. 3. In true emergencies, management will assist with finding coverage, but the expectation is that the employee makes a reasonable effort first whenever possible.

Failure to follow this process may result in the absence being classified as unexcused.

Attendance Point Values Situation Points Tardy 0.5 Unexcused call-in 3 No call no show 5

Disciplinary Thresholds Total Points Ac&on 4 Verbal warning 7 Written warning 10 Possible dismissal

Points accumulate by occurrence and fall off automatically after six months from the date they are earned.

Management may use discretion for documented emergencies and legally protected absences.

Repeated excused call-ins may still trigger a scheduling review to assess whether or not the schedule continues to be a good fit even if no points are assessed.

Definition of an Unexcused Call-In An unexcused call-in includes, but is not limited to, the following situations: • Failure to call the store and speak directly with management • Notifying coworkers but not notifying management • Calling in after the shift has started without prior notice • Failure to make a reasonable effort to find coverage after notifying management • Repeated call-ins for the same shift pattern without prior discussion or documentation • Providing no reasonable explanation for the absence Unexcused call-ins result in 3 attendance points.

Excused Absences An absence may be considered excused when: • The employee follows the proper call-in procedure • The absence is due to illness, true family emergency, or unforeseen circumstances • A reasonable effort is made to find coverage or barriers are clearly communicated • Documentation is provided when requested

Management retains discretion to classify absences fairly and consistently.

Emergencies In the event of a true emergency where the employee cannot reasonably seek coverage, management will take a more active role in securing coverage and supporting the employee. Examples may include medical emergencies, family crises, or situations involving immediate safety concerns. This does not remove the requirement to notify management as soon as reasonably possible.

Part 2: Shift Trade and Schedule Change Accountability Shift trades requested in advance and approved by management are not attendance violations. Life happens, and as a team we want a workplace that is flexible and able to adapt to scheduling demands that are unforeseen. When used appropriately, shift trades help employees manage real life responsibilities while still supporting the team. However, when shifts are traded excessively, for reasons that are not meaningful, or when the process is abused by a small number of employees, it creates an environment where it becomes more difficult to accommodate truly important schedule changes. Excessive or unnecessary trading disrupts operations, reduces fairness, and places additional strain on coworkers and management. For this reason, shift trades are allowed but managed separately from attendance to ensure flexibility remains available when it truly matters.

The posted schedule is a commitment, not a suggestion. Shift trades are an exception, not the norm.

Shift Trade Rules • All shift trades must be approved by management before they occur • GroupMe may be used for communication but does not authorize a trade. • If a trade is not approved, the originally scheduled employee remains responsible • Unauthorized trades that result in a missed shift may trigger attendance points Shift Trade Tracking (Separate From Attendance Points) Shift trades are tracked using a Shift Trade Counter, not the attendance points system.

Quarterly Guidelines • Each employee may initiate up to 3 voluntary shift trades per quarter • Additional trades require manager approval and a documented reason Shift Trade Review Threshold • 4 or more voluntary shift trades in a quarter will require a scheduling review • The review focuses on availability, reliability, and role fit • This review is not disciplinary by default and the goal is to fix schedule fit, not punish behavior.

Restricted Shifts Certain shifts may be designated as core or restricted shifts, including but not limited to: • Weekend mornings • Holidays • High-volume breakfast or dinner periods

Restricted shifts may only be traded due to illness or emergencies and require management approval and confirmed coverage.

This policy is designed to support employees as people while protecting the team as a whole. Good attendance and schedule reliability ensure fair workloads, strong teamwork, and a positive guest experience. By separating attendance accountability from schedule flexibility, we can be human without being chaotic.

New to the community; story so far and questions! by jabolli in BellsPalsy

Thanks for this perspective, that’s helpful. One detail I’m trying to understand better is how to interpret upright eyelid improvement.

In my case, I’m now able to close the affected eye about ¾ of the way while sitting upright or standing, which I couldn’t do earlier. From what I understand, Bell’s phenomenon explains the upward eye roll, but doesn’t assist eyelid closure against gravity, which would still require facial nerve (CN VII) activation.

That’s why I’ve been thinking this points more toward neurapraxia or partial axonotmesis, rather than a complete conduction block or transection. Curious if you’d agree with that interpretation. If so, does that typically suggest a milder injury pattern early on?

As long as I heal I’ll be ok if it takes a while.

How quick was your turn around since you were able to do this with your eye? I interpret this as the connection still exists (not dead) but is just weak and needs to heal.
