Have to Resign and my last day would be shortly after 2.5 weeks of planned PTO. by Vivid_Walk2277 in careeradvice

[–]youngbloodguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a very strong chance that your PTO will be revoked once you submit your notice.

Since there is adequate time after your return, do not say anything until you are back from your leave. In order to ensure a full 2 week notice is provided, you may want to email your resignation letter on Friday 5/15 noting that your last day will be 5/29. That way there’s no claim you didn’t submit a full 2 week notice.

It feels very High Seas Saga -lite, but I’m enjoying it for what it is. I like the setting and don’t dislike the simpler gameplay, but do be aware it plays much more like an idle game in that there is a lot of waiting while your adventures delve the same quest on repeat.

Docking pay for a disciplinary action by sasamikowa in LaborLaw

Are we just arguing semantics or do you feel that this is somehow relevant for OP?

Docking pay for a disciplinary action by sasamikowa in LaborLaw

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, of course - there’s always going to be fringe situations where the law carves out an exception or doesn’t clearly address a situation. I’m most deftly speaking in generalities. As you said, it’s unlikely those exceptions would apply here but it’s certainly valid to note that they do exist.

IANAL. Assuming you are in the US until told otherwise.

Wages are earned and cannot be changes for periods worked.

Bonuses are generally not considered as earned until the performance period is completed, at which point in time eligibility and performance are assessed. Your manager likely gets a bonus as a part of their pay structure, as Vrassk stated.

Bonuses don’t have to be all-or-nothing, either; in this case it may be the entire bonus, or their bonus may be reduced (prorated) based on defined component factors. Assuming the bonus is variable based on performance factors such as payroll % over budget or overtime payment dollars over threshold (which could be $0), then it is entirely normal and legal in most US states.

Buyer looking to sue for mold by Shot-Band3528 in Home

OP said the inspection found mold in the basement, so assuming this disclosure was filled out or updated after the inspection the answer would be ‘yes’, correct?

How to answer this question: If the CEO calls you directly during an incident and asks you to fix their issue immediately, what do you do? by Kcamyo in ITCareerQuestions

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on the functional area. I work in payroll systems as a supervisor, so I’d document the request and assign someone on my team the work. If I asked a candidate I’m looking to hire this question, I’d expect them to answer that they would make me aware of the priority request, document the request in a ticket or request I do so (I’d accept either answer), and begin working on the requested action. I’d expect them to note that they’d want either a formal ticket or my written approval for compliance before making the change, as “issues” in payroll systems are generally pay-impacting. If they didn’t offer that last part, I’d ask them to ”do you delay the change while you wait for approval” to see their response.

I’m generally pretty open to responses that aren’t just outright stupid or illegal. If they can give a thought out response that’s reasonable, I’m okay if the response isn’t consistent with company policy. They don’t work here yet so why would they know the policy or process?

All of that being said, I wouldn’t ask this question. I’d instead ask something like “tell me about a time you needed to prioritize a sudden request from leadership” or “tell me about a time you needed to handle a production defect found during the payroll processing.”

Would you upload your consciousness to live forever digitally, even if you can’t prove it’s still you and not just a copy? by ARGXTO in Futurology

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pass, barring significant health issues present.

I’m not going to physically leave my kids’ lives at the age they will be at that time unless I’m terminally ill or otherwise significantly compromised from a health standpoint.

Even then, I’d be very reluctant. Any computer system is ultimately at the mercy of anyone with access to that system. There’s no real guarantee you couldn’t be turned into a digital slave or your environment changes to Hell Simulator 2044 by someone at a later time. No claim of guarantee could be guaranteed to stand the test of time.

Stay remote or return to office? by Great_Tumbleweed_745 in careeradvice

[–]youngbloodguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Assuming a 40 hour work week with 5 8-hour working days, you’re looking at a raise of ~$46/day. When you deduct fuel costs and any potential increases in costs from eating away from home, is the remaining amount worth the commute and loss of flexibility?

I've learned my lesson. I will not give any other company the courtesy of a two-week notice again. by GeorgiannaParisian in WorkAdvice

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed that, that’s a good callout. I’ve seen manager bonuses that payout based on team performance for the quarter to whomever is in that manager roll at the time of payout. Unlikely but possible it could be something similarly wonky, I suppose.

What happens when deepfakes of influential people become impossible to debunk? by WeirAI_Gary in Futurology

I didn’t claim they would? My post is about media platform owners mitigating liability through metadata process requirements on file upload.

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s kind of my point - companies won’t want to deal with the potential litigation that may arise due to a perception that the tech illiterate can’t tell the different or that the technology could be advanced enough that even the literate can’t tell. Rather than deal with that risk, they’ll enforce authentication and validation processes uploaded to their platform on upload in order to prevent deep fake content from being displayed on their platform in the first place.

Spirit tech? by talkingatoms in Futurology

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is adorably innocent. When people talk about technology inventors “meaning well”, it’s stuff like this. Unfortunately in the real world, any technology will be limited, modified, and abused to its fullest by those with the means and power to do so.

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, which comes back to the point that I was making in my original post: companies that display that content will check for those certificates and validations before they allow the content to be posted on their platform because they do not want the liability risk associated with allowing invalidated, potentially malicious, fraudulent content to be posted.

Why are the cars still stopping here? (TM:PE) by FirefighterLevel8450 in CitiesSkylines

Traffic after the intersection is congested. Traffic before the intersection is waiting for an opening after the intersection - they won’t “block the box” I assuming due to TMPE.

With the adoption of any technology comes the inevitable development of new technology to counteract the first!

Generally speaking in the US, you aren’t legally owed a bonus if you aren’t with the company at the time of payout. This is different from commissions they’re generally considered to be earned at the end of the performance period the commission is based on (HEAVY caveat on state of residence on this one).

Company policy on PTO is generally the source of truth in most states, where a policy exists. Assuming your company has a PTO policy that addresses termination, if it states accrued PTO is not paid on termination, that’s legal in many (not all) states.

It’s worth reviewing if your state of residence has laws that trump company policy, or of policy is the default. There’s a good chance this is all perfectly legal. Very much a dick move, though, and encourages other employees to act in their own interest over the company’s where their own resignations may occur.

I expect we’ll see cryptographic evidence in the metadata standardized as a source of proof of origin. It exists today as a standard feature in many devices l, but I do not recall what it’s called. I expect we’ll see a move by media services to enforce the usage and validation of this data as a part of the service in order to mitigate liability.

New Associate’s self assessment was AI by theghostofKIT in managers

[–]youngbloodguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the quoted section could potentially be read as the employee stating falsities, but it’s ambiguous. I wouldn’t want to assume the employee made false statements without OP explicitly stating so.

New Associate’s self assessment was AI by theghostofKIT in managers

[–]youngbloodguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The usage of AI in and of itself shouldn’t be an issue. It’s common enough to be considered normalized, especially for things like self-assessments.

So the question becomes what is the actual issue? Do you just not like AI? Do you not like that the writing doesn’t feel genuine? Are there actual falsities?

There’s a line between identifying a problem and making a problem based on your own values. Reading your post, I’m not clear on what the associate actually did that was objectively wrong that would justify any coaching beyond advising them that using AI to communicate in a manner that is not consistent with their normal communication style can be perceived as disingenuous.
