Mine always ends up under my car. It's generally a waterlogged mess when I find it.

Good question. I will have her look.

When I lived in an apartment, I didn't have a shovel. Why would I? It's part of my rent.

Windsor or a different warehouse?

Same result, unfortunately.

Ultimately, it's up to her, and I will support her in whatever choice she makes. She has to decide how she wants to live, be it at a less rigid job for less money, or sticking this out until she finds something comparable. I just want to make sure her rights are protected, whatever choice she makes.

They don't have warnings. No time = be on time or fired. They also accrue so slowly that it takes months to accrue a single day.

I know my kid is not perfect, but she decided to move out and takes work very seriously because she has a lease and car payment. She also has no problem telling me if she's messed up, so it's not a pattern thing.

Regardless, it is what it is, and she has to work within it. I just wanted to make sure she has all of her rights protected.

I don't disagree. I do the same. But I'm not fired when I'm 5 min late. I also get a sick time allowance of more than an hour per month (it might be different, but it's similarly low).

Nope. She had to take the little time she had to see the doctor.

I understand needing to be in the building. Would he be fired if he couldn't make it today or was more than 5 min late? That's the ridiculous part.

She got to work 2 hrs late, and they still hadn't plowed the facility, so she had the most difficulty getting into the building. smh

She can't even get her heat to work right with the new management company. It's either off or 90 degrees. But that's another battle.

She went in as soon as the driveway was clear and is just hoping she has the hours to cover the time missed. The way and rate that they generate time off seems like a setup for things like this.

I used to work at a call center many years ago, and they had strict rules, too. Except when weather was a factor or a huge accident on a highway, they relaxed the rules, realizing it cost more to fire and rehire half the staff.

She has. Just not a lot to match her pay. She is over 3 years in and it only gets worse.

Thank you! Unfortunately, all of the policies are very rigid and don't account for the fact that they employ humans.

I feel like our winters are migrating further from the traditional snow months each year. We go from heat to A/C in a matter of days!

So many are still at home or can wfh it shouldn't change too much.

I'm most definitely NOT a libertarian. And I'm saying if we listened to the rail workers (and their concern for their own lives and working conditions) over corporate interest (to maximize profits) then yes, maybe the recent disasters would have been avoided. Maximizing profits at the expense of human life is disgusting.

I didn't say make the same money. I said workers would have control over their labor. They would have more ability to decide what they are willing to work for and the conditions they demand. You know, by organizing and unions and such.

We also wouldn't have bailouts for business and then allow them to buy back stocks and post big bonuses for the c-suite and layoff for the general workers.

If we truly had a free market, then labor would be as powerful as the ownership class because labor is also a commodity. If we truly had a free market, the railroad worker strike would not have been interrupted by the government. You are buying into the propaganda that is destroying the quality of life for everyone.

Some of her friends have been having those parties since 10. It's a thing.

Thanks! I have a request to their party planner and haven't heard back. I also reached out to a couple of hotels with event planners. We are running into too old for the kids' stuff and not grown enough for the rest.

My daughter is 15 and we have found a lot of businesses won't pierce under 16 with parental consent. MA will as young as 14 though.
