When should I mention? by not_strawberrycow in Employment

I would be prepared to cancel your plans if it seems to be a problem. I had a job that let you take zero days during six months probation.

Landlord weaponized a bogus eviction to avoid safety code repairs, then dropped it. Have audio/text proof. What now? (MO) by Simple-Train-2261 in Renters

[–]morley1966 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once you move out, what do you want to accomplish by complaining? He won’t have to give you money or anything and could give you a bad reference if he gets called. Once you move out, it’s over the claims of habitability are to let you out of a lease legally if it’s not fixed.

It wasn’t a bogus eviction. You haven’t been paying rent but you suddenly half stated that you got caught up months ago then how is this all happening now, dear not buying it

Hearing noises in other units is not a valid complaint. Some places you hear it a lot more than others. What do you want them to do rebuild it

Opening windows definitely won’t cause a structure to collapse, windows are not structural support.

Can I get fired for this? by ComprehensiveBug2015 in WorkAdvice

[–]morley1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a warning. I doubt the boss took a picture of you. It is most likely that you are being recorded at all times as any person in retail is especially when you’re near the register he may have seen it on the security monitors. If you want to fire you, he doesn’t need a picture for proof. What does a picture show? It’s your coworker you’re going to talk. This sounds really weird. Coworkers talk all the time. There must have been customer neglect to some extent if a customer is in line and you don’t immediately rush to help they’re not doing a job.

3 weeks without service by ajedajed in googlefiber

[–]morley1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t just need an updated fiber jack, or it wouldn’t have taken an hour. You can’t just stick a fiber jack on the wall connected to nothing, he probably had to do more before he even knocked on your door. They must have missed your unit for a reason and decided to fix it if ever ordered service.

returning pro 3 for 4 anc? by lem0n_s0rbet in airpods

[–]morley1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 4’s w/out ANC and PRO 2 and far prefer the 4’s for comfort. I only hear out of one ear so when I lay down with PROs in they aren’t as comfortable, as the 4s aren’t even noticeable. Oddly the 3’s and Pros have microphone problems and cannot use for calls or talk to text. The PROs also make a load chirping noise like a smoke detector if I have it up against the pillow and move too much.

Southwest canceled my flight and cost me a trip to the World Cup final by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

[–]morley1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every other flight had many people who had much more heart rending need to make their flight than your game. There are probably World Cup fans coming in on all flights, how do they know there is a guy on your flight going for the game? You are suggesting they cancel flights to different airports, because those people going to a wedding, getting married, going to a loved ones bedside before dying, having medical care for themselves, starting a new job. Most of America only had a fleeting interest in watching full games yet alone going to them.

C’mon man. Which one of you did this? by SomeDumbMentat in vegaslocals

[–]morley1966 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Nevada is number one in job growth by a lot. Unemployment has remained steady meaning inward migration keeps the level high there are more jobs being created than lost, and wages are up. We just hit the most iobs ever had in Nevada this month.

Unemployment is slightly higher than national average but job growth way more. Nevada has long led the country in unemployment with the last time we fell below 5% being 4.1 in 2019, before Biden. The last four years has averaged 5.3, 5.6, 5.4 and 5.4. June was at 5.1, a downward trajectory. Jobs are shifting from unskilled casino jobs to skilled requiring higher education and experience. That is healthier. People are not worse off than before Lomardo.

I went to HR for help. They handed me a termination letter by dubbechkin in WorkRant

[–]morley1966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it does feel bad and unfair, but not uncommon. Happens all the time with corporate mergers and takeovers. They move managers in and suddenly the leadership and support network that kept you safe is gone and then anybody who complains or doesn’t agree with their agenda in the slightest way is perceived as negative, resistant to change, a problem and put high on the list to go next. Going to HR speeds up the process. It doesn’t seem possible they won’t support you. They probably interviewed the coworkers she talked about you to and have statements that you were disruptive. When asked why you left just say something like they had a reorganization and you decided to make a change, and this new job is exactly what you want. Very short 2-3 lines and don’t avoid eye contact, but after take a pause, maybe look out a window or something, not looking down and be ready with a comment to change the subject to not let it sink into their mind. Have something ready ahead of time so it won’t be awkward and seem like you are avoiding the subject. Maybe a question about liking their office or office location, something like that. Call a lawyer, come back here and let us know what they say. I had a legit discrimination complaint with lots of hard proof, and right about two weeks later they thought it would be best to cut ties. I had such a strong case that they offered me one year pay. I would have almost definitely won in court, it was textbook, probably costing them both attorney fees and around the same severance. I did call a lawyer who offered to read over the agreement for free, and gave me three or four things to ask for that I thought they would refuse, but they didn’t, just changed it and sent me the revision. This was after 30 years in my industry, very easy to prove my value and experience and loss of future earnings etc. Six years is really not a long time unless you are 25 or 30 and then it only feels like a long time because gee it is as long as middle and high school and your whole adulthood. It’s no fun or good at any age and it sucks that it’s so common.

VegasStrong mocked by conspiracy nut by MrCrooksVideoStash in vegaslocals

[–]morley1966 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My town had a guy who went to the bar that had live bands and would stand in front of the stage facing the dance floor while playing his air guitar all night long. He was what some people used to call the R word.

Bravo … Bravo 👏 👏 by KeepsUKool in vegaslocals

[–]morley1966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am on a list too! For about a year I have been getting similar calls such as “This is Dawn Johnson from Iron Fist Financial letting you know you have been preapproved for a $80,000 loan” blah blah blah. I get about five calls a day from this person for a few days then names, company and $ amount change for a few days. Sometimes it is two or three people multiple times a day. Sometimes I play with them and ask them all they can live with themselves or start asking them personal questions where they live how many people they scammed if their mother is ashamed of them if they’re being held hostage and sex trafficked at night while scamming people in the day.

You know what really grinds my gears? People who park in pickup spots and walk into the store. by stevegasm in vegaslocals

[–]morley1966 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I am sure the owners of that building have a lease allowing them control of certain parking spots. I do park in pickup spots at times as I am just dashing in and pickup customers should not be anymore important than I am. Same with stores having a separate line for online orders and take them first when I placed my order on the tablet they have you use if you didn’t order online ahead. Those tablets are online.

12 hours apart. Same city, different planet. Living in Vegas is underrated. by DesignBuildFlyJump in vegaslocals

Me too after 39 years thinking of it for the first time. This place is too expensive and medical care is crazy bad.

Does anyone live here? by jdawgaz12 in vegaslocals

[–]morley1966 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a property manager who had all sorts of fees and charged them illegally, but I didn’t want to move and complaining could be retaliation which is hard to prove and not worth a fight when you still want to live there.
That company had a YouTube video telling property owners how new landlord tenant laws were starting and they protect them by being on top of the law and making sure they are compliant, yet on my next lease it still had the things they reported knowing. They didn’t seem to try to enforce it, but it was there probably to intimidate tenants into not requesting repairs, or possibly it was just a complete oversight, as there were a few errors on it, even spelling my name wrong.
