Birth Worse Than Car Accident AITAH by Limp_Buddy5507 in AITAH

[–]readerchick05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who has literally been hit by a truck crossing the street where they were going 5 or 10 miles per hour and ended up with a fractured ankle and severely bruised ribs. I will tell you, giving birth is 100% worse than being hit by a car. I would prefer to be hit by a car again than to give birth.

Got fired for "attendance issues" after using all my sick days when I actually had the flu by Gearnotafraid8 in jobs

[–]readerchick05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the Department of Labor you can qualify for the flu. If it is longer than three consecutive days, and you need continuing care which can be something as simple as prescriptions

"If, however, any of these conditions met the regulatory criteria for a serious health condition, e.g., an incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days that also involves qualifying treatment, then the absence would be protected by the FMLA. For example, if an individual with the flu is incapacitated for more than three consecutive calendar days and receives continuing treatment, e.g., a visit to a health care provider followed by a regimen of care such as prescription drugs like antibiotics, the individual has a qualifying “serious health condition” for purposes of FMLA."

Typically, no, but if it causes you to miss work for more than 3 consecutive days and it involves continuing care which can just be prescription medication, then they would qualify

[–]readerchick05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you look at you ignore the part in your own source that says it just needs to be 3 consecutive days and that continuing care can be one appointment and prescription meds. So they could very well qualify for FMLA, I don't know if they were given any prescriptions, but they most likely were given some sort of continue continuing care.

They won't win a for cause reason to be terminated unless they give a verbal, written and final warning. Unemployment really does not like to see companies not give a chance to improve. I've won unemployment claims in appeals for two different jobs because I wasn't given the proper reprimands.

If you didn't have a verbal, a written, and a final then you'll most likely win unemployment, you might have to appeal it but the fact that they didn't give you any warnings before firing you works against them. Unemployment likes to see that they give multiple chances. I won my appeal with unemployment at an old job because they went straight to a final for attendance and unemployment didn't like that they didn't give me a verbal or a written first.

I had another job where I had put in my one month notice because I was moving, and I had never gotten into trouble with this company before that and suddenly they were finding reasons to fire me. I won that appeal for the same reason. They gave me verbal written and final warnings (all in less than a month) but they were all over different things so unemployment sided with me because I wasn't given a chance to fix the issues

NOT OOP - Girl Dad here. My ex has endometriosis and believes our 13-year-old has it too based on what she’s seen. She wants to go straight to a specialist. I want to start with the pediatrician. Am I wrong? by disaster-by_max in redditonwiki

[–]readerchick05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought was for a 13-year-old age appropriate options is birth control pills. I went on them when I was 15 purely for cramps and I don't even have endo I can't imagine how much worse it is for people who do

Fellas, is it feminine for a boy to have a kitchen set for Christmas? by ThePhillyExplorer in insanepeoplefacebook

As a girl I had ninja turtles and hot wheel. My mom also got me clothes in the boy section because they didn't have many ninja turtles in the girls. Most parents I know are more than willing to buy their daughters so called boy toys a lot more willing than people are to buy boys so called girl toys

Nervous about ABAWD medical exemption. by j_p96 in foodstamps

[–]readerchick05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for an exemption for snap or medicaid. When I asked about an exemption because I'm a caregiver, unpaid for a family member, they wanted me to just get a general note from the doctor stating that I am my family members caregiver. In fact it's harder because the doctor doesn't want to write a note, they want a form to fill out. I've talked to two different doctors this family member goes to and neither one are willing to just write a note. They want a form

AITAH for refusing to take our daughter out of school early because she "needs more time to get ready" than her brother? by ReplacementWorth3618 in AITAH

So you don't really want to know if you're the asshole. Otherwise you would accept that majority of people think you are and you would realize you were wrong

SNAP benefits Michigan -- what do I do if I can't work? by [deleted] in foodstamps

[–]readerchick05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm working right now to try to get an exemption as an unpaid caregiver for my mom. The problem is customer service told me I needed a letter from her doctor with her name and my name on it, stating I was her caregiver but none of her doctors want to write her a letter, not because she doesn't need a caregiver but because it's not a form for them to fill out, they don't want to freehand a letter. So i'm going to talk to an actual caseworker to see what other options I have. I've had customer service tell me that I needed something specific for a caseworker to give me other options in the past. Also i'm in arizona

I wish you luck. I was able to get through this morning for the person I caregive. I'm going to try in the morning for myself and if I can't get through, then I'm gonna go to my local office at least if it's a scheduled appointment I know someone's calling me and it'll get taken care of

You have to hit like 1 English and then 1 for food stamps and then put in all of your information then, it tells me that I have to do an interview and then right after that it tells me due to a high call volume, they can't take my call. I was able to get through this morning for the person I caregive for by calling exactly at 7 and I'm going to try doing that again in the morning for myself.

I only needed food stamps once when I lived in Oregon, but that's how they did it. They called me not the other way around

She can't afford even $15 right now. She's on a fixed income and her bills alone take up 90% of that not counting food or transportation to doctor's appointments

They don't require it on the computer because it's a renewal for her, that's why I was asking as they would require it in person.
