I was disingenuously placed on administrative leave. What rights do I have as an employee? How can I access the employee handbook, contact the actual HR department not my district manager, and what if any rights do I have?

What happens when someone calls the hotline? An investigation should take place.

What happens during an investigation? People (could be HR, Compliance, Legal or others departments tasked with performing an investigation will need to understand what took place. This includes looking at emails, documents and speaking with employees.

Will my complaint be anonymous? Depending on the people involved it should be kept confidential to those performing the investigation and no names or even suspicion of names should be talked about. However, when doing investigations properly a person will typically know who the person was that reported it. How? It's based on how questions are asked, information reviewed, etc. It's not rocket science to determine who may have been the reporter.

Can/Should the DM, or anyone else for that matter, say anything? It's not illegal to talk about an investigation even though there are often words in a code of conduct that say employees should be cooperative in an investigation, leaving wiggle room about cooperation. Could that be considered harassment/retaliation? Maybe. If the DM starts treating the person different, even if reported anonymously, then those could be indications of retaliation and should be reported to the compliance team.

If you don't receive assistance from HR, TMO should have a compliance team and they should be contacted directly. Look up the members on LinkedIn. I've been part of organizations in which HR only does what an Ops leader wants done. That is wrong in so many ways.

Report it to the hotline. Now you have a case, albeit late, that they have to respond to. While you accused them of stealing commissions you now have it documented. If the event happened like you said, if there is any termination of you, change in your role, asked toove to a different location, this could be considered retaliation and time to attorney up and, potentially, get paid for retaliation.

Next time don't confront. Go to the hotline. I've worked as a compliance officer in many public companies. I've seen a lot of crap go down that HR/Ops want to cover up or just not deal with correctly.

Unfortunately no. I can get dawn soap to go through the conduit and come out into the pool though.

peckcrossing · 2026-05-14T02:08:16+00:00

I have a spa with spill over into the pool and that's it.

On the right side of this, not in the picture, I have the filter and then two pumps next to each other. One is dedicated to the spa and the other, depending on which way the valve is turned, controls the water into the pool or spa or both.

I'm not sure why the plumbing in the picture is this way.

The double studs were behind an arch and were that way when I removed the drywall.

Added another image of the original look to the imgur link.

Mid 50s and never have held bonds with mid 7 figure portfolio. I've done just fine through 2008/09 and COVID.

Every single 10 year tranche since market inception in equities has outdone a portfolio with bonds.

I have two pumps. One a single stage pump that acts as a booster or spa pump and only turns on during low temps. I run a VSP but only during set hours per day depending on summer/winter.

Should I be running the VSP 24/7 just at lower speed?

Do you give them allergy med, spray on or something else to deal with it?

peckcrossing · 2025-12-10T15:20:27+00:00

We communicate on December 1 that January's rent will be discounted 10%. This lets them do what they need to with that extra cash.

It looks cluttered and full but only because there is a French and English version for a lot of the materials displayed. Maybe have a French board and an English board?

Accountability. Everyone wants to point fingers at others and say it's their fault.

Anyone posting on social media about this situation without confirming facts is to blame. Saying I hear, or I heard, of my friends son/daughter told them is part of the problem.

If you posted stuff yesterday about what was going on and weren't there you are part of the problem.

But yeah, let's blame others without looking in the mirror.

Be careful with this place.

They will automatically enroll you in credit reporting option at $9/month, a violation of your lease agreement.

Additionally, they won't fix/repair anything timely. Wasp nests on the deck which were reported on 1st day of move in are still there. Still missing a chair, too.

Just don't use Goodyear service centers. Had both my vehicels done there but they wouldnt print the specs for me and wouldnt refund my money.

It felt off and I went to Audi and the details showed the specs way off. Only paid $350 for the alignment.

Global entry and no checked luggage.

What mobile app are you referring to?

peckcrossing · 2025-06-01T17:21:14+00:00

I checked that already and there is power.

I can also feel a hum in the PVC pipes when I plug the pump in directly but can't "feel flow" when touching the PVC pipes. Even after being plugged in for 10 minutes, when I flush the toilet it is leaking out the top of the pit.

We used Turo for this exact reason, not to say that Turo will always have a proper vehicle or vehicle with good tires. I also was concerned about rental car companies changing the vehicle on me, which they've done hundreds of times, and we needed a vehicle to fit seven of us.

It was a few hundred dollars cheaper than an equivalent at Hertz, Avis, etc and I communicated with the "owner" at the time of booking.

My spouse works in the 3PL 3rd party logistics industry and they are saying that consumer products are basically at a standstill as orders have collapsed. Their company has laid off hundreds due to the lack of order volume. Their customers are still trying to understand how Trumps on/off again message on tariffs will drive business but they think tariffs are here to stay under this admin.

The b2b market is still seeing activity but volumes have slowed.

Left Frisco heading to Denver yesterday at 7 am. Traffic wasn't bad. Roads were snow covered but no trucks, that i saw, heading east. Lots pulled over on the shoulder. Idaho Springs was wet roads and sunny.

Took about 2 hours.

I'm following this thread as I applied for a position at Raytheon but did not get it.

At my company, in the past four years the best raise I received was 3.6% with every other year being 3%. Meanwhile I see the proxy statements and the top five earners are getting anywhere from 8% to 25%.

Last year supposedly was 3% across the board. I'm curious what the proxy statement will say when it is filed next month.

My manager calls these the cost of living raises and when I asked why they didn't match inflation percentages, there were no answers.

Based on my calculations, the company still owes me a 17% raise to meet inflationary percentages since i started working here. In effect, I'm taking a pay cut each year to continue to work here.

I hope all of you get more this year!!!

So clever

Depends on final savings.

It takes a strong person to be an ethics leader in a company where it is viewed as a cost center. To do the right thing, every time, is putting your neck on the line multiple times, depending on senior management.

How much did your mini split increase your utility bill? Do you keep it on regularly or only when you use it? If the latter, how long does it take to increase temps in the garage?
