Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

I called the HR Support Center and they said my manager has no say. If that's what the doctor says and the STD case manager agrees, that's it. They may not agree, and, well, I can live with that I suppose. My doctor initially told me I could work from home but have to stay off my feet. I was the one who asked about taking more time off. I know I am not allowed to work at all while on STD. And I won't. If I was going to be out for the five weeks, I was planning to WFH for two weeks after and be back in the office after that. So, now, I could be on STD for the three and a half weeks I'm in a cast and start working from home for 3-4 weeks. I'm just so flabbergasted she would say that to me. And more than a little annoyed. I want to have a conversation with our HR person, not to get her in trouble but I feel I'm being taken advantage of.

The way some managers get more out of people is to do something this outrageous. It is so far over the line the person can't think of what to say. boss lady used to do that to me. Until, well, you know the story...

Managers test the water to see if what the worker is saying is truth. Unfortunately, some people milk the system. It happens. If it's gone THIS far though, that's on the manager, not you, Scarlet.

I thankfully have the history and the trust of my bosses, when I say "I can't run today" etc, they know I'm not bs-ing them. They know I hate missing work on non-scheduled PTO.

I received €10.5M from Mrs. Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund (IMF). Using 1.13 €/$, the total is now $267,450,924.56.

I received $100M from Alice Walton (the most since I started this). The total is now $367,450,924.56.

I have seen a lot more of the inappropriate expectations than checking for truth. I had managers tell pts they had to go to work even after notes were written saying no way

The last big one I had, pinched ulnar nerve, I walked in with the sling, and boss said, "Ah sh*, okay....couple weeks?" I said "one week min, per doctor's orders, believe me, it ain't gonna be more than that." What was REALLY fun about that was that it was my left arm, and I am generally left-handed. Signing things with my right hand was like watching Rob Gronkowski figure out how not to have a beer.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

I told my manager I was taking 12 weeks, fully paid, paternity leave. Had already discussed it with HR, and my HR rep determined that I qualified for 12 weeks primary caregiver leave. My supervisor's exact respose was "That is great! Definitely take 12 weeks, you won't regret it. I wish I had that benefit when my daughters were born." I'm pretty lucky that I work for a company that is so good to their employees. So, I'm on paid leave until July 2nd, taking care of the baby.

Hells yes. Glad that companies realize dads count, too.

When I had my liver issues, I scheduled two meetings with my bosses and told them the situation. They both were very insistent I take whatever I needed and to let them know if I needed anything. They also pointed me through all the pitfalls of short term if I had to go that route. They put up with a wholly erratic schedule for six or seven weeks while I recovered.

They are very few and far between.

They probably stayed in a Holiday Inn Express the night before so they are qualified.

That's awesome. Hubby gets 4 weeks at 60% pay. I'm trying to convince him that he should be considered primary caregiver...which would get him 10 weeks at 60% pay. I haven't been at the new job long enough, so I'll get 6-8 weeks of short term disability as the only thing I qualify for (no FMLA for me).

The company that bought us out offers 2 weeks of fully paid parental leave, but we don't go on those benefits until July 1 (and I still wouldn't qualify, having not been an employee for 12 months).
