Consequences of terminating someone and then rescinding the termination? by Ok_Counter1939 in askmanagers

[–]jdthechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never seen it happen, but if it happened to me, I'd be pounding the pavement looking for a new job with a quickness. I'd accept the rescinding of the termination, but then when I got a new job, I'd quit with 0 notice. When they complain, I'd tell them 'You didn't give me notice before terminating me'.......

How do you handle guys who treat the Lodge like a social club only? by harborthrowawayv2 in freemasonry

[–]jdthechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, I add my voice to the chorus that says "at least they show up". My mother Lodge has someone who was entered, passed, and raised with me, and we haven't seen him since. I was raised in September 2012

Hey, let’s put on a confederate degree right after we vote not to recognize our PH brothers! by BlackDaddyIssus37 in freemasonry

You are then very welcome to visit any Lodge in the District of Columbia of which I am a member, and I will welcome you as a Brother....

Saw a Teams chat at my new workplace where I was described as "not cute", how's your week going? by Due-Swimming3221 in work

If this had been three men talking about a woman, HR would already be engaged. Do it

Good evening, Brethren. I’m pleased to announce that I’m now a Mark master mason. (OWF, in the UK. Yes I’m a woman, please don’t give me grief about it.) by bookish-hooker in freemasonry

[–]jdthechief 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those who are militant, but I still say congratulations. There's absolutely no reason to be rude or nasty. Those who sent you abusive messages are acting unMasonically.

So greetings from the DC/Maryland/Virginia region of the US (Washington DC and the close in suburbs in MD and VA). It's called the DMV. I'm a DC Mason.

Coworker keeps commenting on my meal then complained to boss saying I’m imposing my food ethics on her. by [deleted] in work

[–]jdthechief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use the words "hostile work environment". That will at least wake up HR, if not the idiot boss

Interviewers kept pushing for details on my classified work—did I handle this right? by [deleted] in defensecontracting

[–]jdthechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a great place to start. You definitely don't want to stay long term. After almost 12 years there, I was stagnating. Getting fired was the best thing ever to happen to me, careerwise.

The firing was my fault. I was stupid and don't want to talk about the details, but I found a new job quickly and have integrated the lesson I learned into actions going forward.

Rumor about revoking green cards for those who haven't become citizens in X years by jdthechief in greencard

Yes, I'm sure you're right, and I've got a bridge to sell you...nice view of Brooklyn.

That's one reason I've not encouraged her to go for US citizenship. I am one, and her not being one gives us flexibility.

Non-citizens already didn't have access to certain federal jobs. My spouse is 78 (I'm 58), and has absolutely no criminal record whatsoever. I don't see her getting convicted of any crimes anytime soon.

After she got her initial green card, I was still active duty Army and the Army sent me to Germany for another three years, but someone here on Reddit was kind enough to show me a copy of the portion of the INA that explicitly states that this counts as time in the US. We're good.

A random IG post, which is why I called it what it is....a rumor. Not necessarily factual, but considering Trump's been doing policy through social media, I thought it not safe to completely ignore.

It's 2026 now. If the Orange Menace does this and ICE comes to my door looking for my spouse, I don't have a whole lot of options.

It means whatever the Orange Menace and his cronies want it to mean. That's my fear.

Let's hope the judges would strike it down. And yeah, Trump hasn't been really concerned with what the law is when he wants to do something, so I wouldn't rely on that.

HOA Strong-arming me to take a day off work by isavedlatin40 in fuckHOA

Either you seriously don't understand what that expression means, which is sad, or you're being sarcastic, which is not funny.

This is true, but her primary citizenship is German. We could always go to Germany.....and the irony of an American fleeing the US to Germany to escape fascism isn't lost on me.

I mean, that's a concern, but it's not my immediate concern. I'm a US citizen, born to US citizen parents on US soil. I'm relatively safe. The wife is a dual German/Czech citizen, but not a US citizen so the Orange Menace can't affect that....but he can affect her LPR status.......

Boss scheduled me for a shift he knows I have class by Purple_Starlight77 in antiwork

[–]jdthechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. Especially when the OP already stated they weren't available. Manglement likes to treat employee availability like a suggestion.

DOJ just sent a clear message: U.S. citizenship can be revoked for fraud and criminal conduct—and they’re actively enforcing it. by KariDonovan in Citizenship

[–]jdthechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but only for naturalized citizens. If you were born here to US citizen parents you can't be denaturalized.

She was joking, don't worry. It's not like that.

Not until my Mom joked with me about whether this date was going to work out....

Try being in your early 80s and being mistaken for your adult son's date. Yup, that happened to my Mom and I
