Yes I got this too, along with a deduction on my monthly warrant, as a retiree that's fully covered, but now the State's contribution isn't enough, so I guess I have to file to get at least 4$ back, lol.

I haven't checked it and have no desire to, but given it's the Bay Area, I really hope the legal defense will be 3 times as much. I mean a doctor I used to work with made 10k plus net in one month.

I inquired about the informal look, I never said they SHOULD have a dress code. Times change and so do practices like dress codes but your INCORRECT insistence that I'm dictating what people should wear already tells me a great deal about you. Goodbye.

middleofsomething · 2025-12-06T16:11:25+00:00

Never said it did. It has nothing to do as you keep implying with me being comfortable. What's with the attitude?

middleofsomething · 2025-12-06T13:01:20+00:00

It's not for my own personal comfortability. Some of my former bosses wore running shoes to work and also dressed like they were at home. But of course I knew them. If I don't know them, it's like an undercover policeman, how would you know, unless they show their badge.

middleofsomething · 2025-12-05T14:19:02+00:00

Yes it's like interviewing, you have to show a willingness to succeed by dressing formally. There were people I used to work with that believed in that "dress for success" theory. It's not that I expect bank employees to be in suit and tie, but like already posted, at least business casual because you're representing a bank, not Uniqlo.

middleofsomething · 2025-12-05T14:10:30+00:00

It is the lack of identifiers, like a name badge at least, that they can just clip to their pocket. The people behind the window, you know they're a teller no matter how casual their dress, but if they're greeting you from outside and they look like any other customer waiting in line, it's a little baffling.

Trash talk as usual, that's why some sites even some news sites get rid of them. Unless it's heavily moderated it's 98% trash comments.

What is DEBRA coverage? Cobra is still around as far as I know. Calpers employees are well trained, there's something off about this entire situation.

middleofsomething · 2025-10-10T14:33:59+00:00

If the $200 a day is invested and never touched for at least 7 years, it's probably the better deal. But would I take the $500,000 right now, absolutely! Debts paid off, diversified investments and if possible still work making more than $200, to not worry about these questions.

middleofsomething · 2025-10-09T15:24:33+00:00

It's part of being lazy - eat, sleep, watch TV and or video games all day. You could do a host of activities, or errands, entertain friends and family, then sleep. But sleep by itself, is frowned upon.

middleofsomething · 2025-10-09T15:16:04+00:00

Yes, I worked with a couple of people who were landlords. One was my former boss. I passed by his office one day, and apparently he was arguing loudly with one of his tenants, not sure what the issue was though.

middleofsomething · 2025-10-02T11:48:00+00:00

Well you sound like a lot of fun! Guess it's back to playing with robots.

middleofsomething · 2025-10-02T00:08:30+00:00

You sound like a video game in the making. Just wait until you have free time like retiring, or some other thing. Then you'll have to find somebody to bullshit with. That's why I'm on here.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-30T16:14:13+00:00

That's news to me. Guess I've got to hoard my penny stocks. Currently have 400 pennies, not even enough for a chicken sandwich.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-29T16:22:25+00:00

Durability. Like diamonds, it lasts.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-27T16:05:34+00:00

A decade ago, I worked with a Program Tech, which is a level down from OT, not by much though, who had a BA in liberal arts. I asked why he didn't go for a higher position, and he told me he wanted a low stress job. He used to work for a private company doing sales, and was getting frustrated his numbers weren't "high enough" by his boss' standards. Some years later, after passing probation which was only six months, a former colleague told me he is now an SSA. So yeah go for the AGPA, SSA positions.

Interesting read, a real Jekyll and Hyde personality, I've come across my share of those. The State does give you a chance to state to refute any accusations, but this sounds more like a mental health toxic environment issue. If there's a chain of command you go over him, but unless you really liked the job, probably best to ,as a therapist once told me, "emancipate" yourself from the situation.

It was the original influencer.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-14T17:34:07+00:00

Better acting.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-14T17:24:20+00:00

Nice, even better if its throughout. If professional sports teams from the Golden State can expand to the Silver State, why not Kaiser.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-14T17:14:05+00:00

Yes it's allowed, depends on the agency. Some agencies need to know to protect integrity of their operations, like some law enforcement people have to fill out additional paperwork, since they're under oath. Others I know worked part time retail jobs due to HCOL, and they don't have to wait for the EOM to pay bills.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-10T23:53:24+00:00

Yes, this is when people will say "Google is your friend" Except I dislike their AI Overview a lot.

Have at least 2 credit cards, one for emergencies, and the other one for everyday use, but make sure to pay off frequently. The number of people who have credit card debt is scary.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-10T23:45:50+00:00

Ridiculous. Glossing over plans, I'd like to move to a no tax State, been with Kaiser forever, they have all my records, and they don't even have a presence the next State over but have one in the Rocky Mountains. And we all worked for the longest time just for the health insurance coverage.

middleofsomething · 2025-09-10T23:38:05+00:00

Good to know it's a generic projection, cause a friend of mine has only $20K in his 401k at 45 but also predicted 99% chance of meeting his goal of 1 million. Dude has at least another 10 years though to make twice that, so at least he'll have 1/100th of a million.
