I had this shower thought about the term “human resources” and how odd it is. Human as compared to what? Environmental? Animal? Also, it's ironically dehumanizing because I feel like the emphasis is on the word “resources”. Anyway, just wanted to share!
I'm just super curious, if someone wants to leave the workforce and downsize what are you going to do about medical insurance? Is going on welfare a part of the plan? How do you do a work free life? I've been working full time for more than 15 years and I've seen people at my work retire at 65 too old to travel the world, just basically too old to enjoy life. They push to retire at 65 for the medicare coverage. I don't want to work until I'm 65 and can no longer be active and have a bunch of health issues. While I can do without brand new cars and severely lower my standard of living I don't know if I can live without insurance coverage. Let me know what you think…
My friend doesn't have Reddit so I'm posting for her, since I also worked for this company at one time I have no issues with naming them, this is Radroller I worked for them a few months and left because the pay was too low for me and I had my own consulting practice taking off. I introduced my friend to them because they had financial issues and weren't happy with their accountant, she is a top notch financial consultant. What happened is that she worked with them for months and had numerous issues dealing with the CEO, . She is absolutely professional and delivered what she could given that her work depended on other people and the CEO delivering the information she required. They wouldn't and after a while she grew tired of the lack of understanding for the importance of accurate bookkeeping. She had other gigs so she…
A little backstory: My father had liver and kidney failure, and has needed help dealing with appointments and medication. I applied for FMLA last year with no issues. This year he received a new liver and kidney, and I have continued to use FMLA during and after the transplant to support and help my father with whatever he needs. This is intermittent leave. Fast forward to now and I get my annual review at work. In the negative section it mentions problems with managing my leave and my leave requiring other workers to pick up the slack. These reviews are requested by other employers within the government when applying for a job, so now they will all see this. My question is: can these comments legally even be made, since my leave was FMLA, and any non-FMLA leave I took was my earned and approved vacation/sick time. EDIT: Should have…
Taking the saying literally.. Most people will work until the day they die. In some way or another or still while holding a 9 to 5, full time job. If you ask any older person about their life the first thing they'll mention is kids if they had any, and then where they worked all of their life. It's like the standard modern day existence is work to afford to wake up in a bed surrounded by 4 walls and a roof so you can get right back to work the next day. Everyone loves traveling, time off, holidays, etc. but that's such a small fraction of our lives. I won't even mention the whole living for the weekend slogan as so many people don't even have the weekend off. Whether they're working two jobs or work a primary job and spend the weekend working a side gig or business.…
