If you think those are the best on the planet you haven't been around much

You've been there 10yrs, do like real execs and job hop more

Holding on to a job like the pope actually costs you in the long run

I'm trying to figure out how "topping off" that went into effect November of last year works...

That refers to using you own PTO to cover the difference. So call out PMFLA full day. State covers say 70%, employee uses 2 Hrs Vac to cover the difference. They cannot go over their avg weekly 40 hr pay. Now your 1 day of Vacation time can help cover 4 days off, most of which is covered by the State.

That was my understanding as well. The max number doesn't cover me (even at 60-65% of salary), so I need to figure out X number of hours to top me off.

It is actually a great benefit for those that really need it but Dr's are easy to manipulate and many take advantage of this to find a "serious" medical condition.

Agreed, much better than no-pay FMLA or STD.

5 minutes left at work and I finally caught up enough to stop now. Two people on my team called off sick. The same habitual person who always calls in did it again of course. Ive basically been glued to my screen all day picking up the work she was supposed to do. Hope she gets enough rest from all her rest.

Who me?

I thought the OT forum was mostly for banter - at least that's what I was told? That's what I see too. Did I hurt your little feelers big guy? My bad...

Being sarcastic/snarky/condescending and arrogant is only fun when you and your coattail riders are doing it? I see.

Me, I could careless what anyone on here thinks. Like me? Don't like me? I still sleep good in my California king every night... in my 40X37 master bedroom.. oh wait, that was a flex, my bad...

Verlander doesn't like flexing... unless you have a high post count.

Get on my level, then I might care... maybe... but just a little.. probably not much.

/banter. or was it

I contribute, I just contribute stuff you apparently don't understand. Anything outside of sitting in a cubicle and monitoring peoples use of time is
a foreign language.

Oops, more banter and arrogance... my bad


Ya'll people with the high post counts are wild. Chill out, its a sports card forum, not death row lol.

Man you're taking this way too personal. Definitely too soft to be in this thread.

Also I never said I don't like flexing, just seems weird in this thread.

What pisses me off is I was the same level as him and I NEVER would have done some of the stupid stuff he does to placate everyone.

I thought it would be good flex because I heard that's the bed that made Kim Kardashian famous.

Measurement sounded like a good flex since that size is a $4k/mo cubby hole in Cali

You thinking I took anything personal is cute.

Thinking I'm soft is even cuter.

I'm 27, my undies don't get in a bunch that easy lol

I can feel myself getting richer from this thread.

All of the prestige is falling from the sky I’m grabbing as much as I can
