Good morning, Lodge!
My boss finished the Boston Marathon in 5:29. He's taking a well-deserved rest today!
Wasn't there an Eddie Murphy bit where the restaurant owner yells "$5.29"?

Afternoon y’all. Sunshine is here and the snow from last week really helped the grass “pop” this week — nice and green in all of the uncovered areas

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season
Forgot how fun it is to turn someone red.
Going to have to call our HR Support Center with regards to my surgery. I've told my boss for months that I'm planning to be on Short Term Disability for five weeks. I had this conversation with my doctor. I'm concerned about this tendon healing properly. My job entails a lot of standing, traveling, etc. He said the longer you're off it, the better it will heal. That does not mean I can't work from home, I was just hoping to not. I've covered for two maternity leaves (at the same time) and now one other is having a baby end of August so I'll get sucked into her stuff. I feel like I'm owed this time to relax and let my ankle heal.
So, my boss asked me a month ago if I would consider postponing my surgery till June because we have this huge program that happens end of May/early June and a lot of it revolves around what I do. I agreed for two reasons: 1) she has been tremendously supportive of me during all this stuff with my dad and 2) I wasn't mentally (and even physically) prepared to go through the surgery on May 1. Today she asks me about this other program I'm working on that goes live in the fall. Trying to see who can work on it in my absence. She comes out to ask me how long I'm going to be out. I tell her five weeks, she's questioning me on it. She thinks that's too long and why can't I work from home? She said she's going to have to push back on that. I was kind of speechless. In all honesty, I did talk to my doctor about taking as much time as possible. I think he would be OK with me working from home once I'm in a boot, which will be three weeks after the surgery. But I'm super annoyed that she said that to me. I want to check with HR to see if she has the authority to do that. If my doctor is saying this and the Short Term Disability team agrees, I'm not sure she has any say. I feel like saying I'll shorten the time I was initially planning to be out but if I damage it, I'm on workers comp and will be out for six months.

This happens all the time. As one of my male colleagues pointed out- women like to give a lot of justification and reasons why they need something. When they do it gives more things the other person can use to argue against. Take home- You don't need to justify yourself. Let your Dr do that for you. Tell them this is what you were told, so you are going to do what the Dr says. Period. Resist the urge to explain why this is what is recommended or comment that you are sorry, etc. Only state the recommendation. If they start arguing you tell them you will tell the Dr they don't agree with his analysis and you will make sure he documents his recommendations clearly so they won't have any confusion. Then ask the Dr to document you will be out 5 weeks with little other info (again so they can't decide what they think is better plan). You can discuss between you if he wants to put he will reassess at week 4-5 and give further guidance at that time. They do not own you contrary to current corporate culture. If you are on sick time/ STD then those hours are counting against your 'bank' of time for those things. Check with the STD company that covers you for rules and policies. Many of them you need to be totally out or you don't qualify. Not only that but frequently when you are on 'light duty' you end up doing way more hours because you aren't doing 'everything' so they guilt you into way more to make up for it. No is no. THe end. (I used to hate this BS and women are way worse at feeling guilt-ed into things).
I have had pts whose companies were disgruntled they had to have time off have the disability insurance folk photograph them when they were 'recovering'. They were able to argue they were doing nothing against orders successfully but it was a bit stressful

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.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season
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...
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season
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.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season
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
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season
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.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season
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.
