End the pizza parties
Went to Chipotle for an early lunch with my kids today and was greeted by a sign: “Due to staffing shortages we will be opening at Noon”. Okay great, more “shortages”, guess we’ll come back another time. Fast forward to tonight, wife and I decided to get dinner there instead. Placed an order online at 5:10pm, showed up at 5:40pm. The doors were locked, yet peering through the glass showed a full crew of staff working furiously inside. One of them saw me standing there awkwardly holding two kids, came up front and opened the door. Employee: “Our system was down and just started working.” (Employee starts taping up “IF WE DON’T HAVE YOUR ORDER CALL xxx-xxx-xxxx FOR A REFUND” signs) Me: “Okay, I ordered online, do you have an order for ?” Two people start looking through the pile of printed orders and can’t find my name. “Sorry but…

Know your worth

This subreddit popped up in my recommended feed a little while ago when I went down a rabbit hole and I initially brushed it off thinking it didn't apply to me (which in a sense is right) but then it kept showing up in my feed. I was born into a very, very, VERY fortunate situation. As the youngest of four siblings I was always gifted and spoiled both in academic ability and extracurricular activities. I didn't realize how much better my life was until the pandemic started and I had to watch classmate's connections constantly drop over zoom calls and my own teachers sometimes not being able to attend them because they had to take care of their kids.

Hello everyone, here's a situation: Jessie the employee who works at Johnny's Pizzeria got back from a paid FMLA and after two weeks working, gave a two weeks notice letter. Meaning, Jessie's last day would then complete the 30 calendar day return to work period. As the U.S. Department of Labor states: An employee who returns to work for at least 30 calendar days is considered to have “returned” to work for the purposes of the FMLA. My question is, can Johnny's Pizzeria recover all of the health benefit premiums and/or salary paid during Jessie's period of FMLA leave?
