An employee came to me last week and asked to move to 80% time. Her husband, she said, was taking on some extra responsibility and they were having trouble keeping the kids on track during remote learning.
I said no.

They killed a cop by beating him with a fire extinguisher and it really goes to show that blue lives matter was never about honoring the police force, but about silencing the black lives matter movement
Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.
I am approaching this with anthropological precision.
Here are a few observations.
what they say: “wow, everybody is so sensitive nowadays.“
what they mean: “wow, you are now asking me to understand and respect boundaries and it makes me uncomfortable.“
I have two little girls. The oldest loves mixing feed with Dad nearly every day. 🙂
How do people think it's appropriate to say "you're going to have to start having some boys to help you on the farm" .... ???
I hear that often enough. Pretty tone deaf for today's society.
@JulieSLalonde@Brightstar All of this and knowing I still have to pay the $200 deductible is infuriating. Sorry you had such a terrible time with them as well @JulieSLalonde.
Hi @Brightstar! After 1 week, hrs on hold, being disconnected multiple times, & w/ no resolution in sight, I'm going 2 try this. I know the world is crazy ATM but I can't do my job w/o a phone. I've paid my premiums, think U could uphold UR end of the deal & send me a new phone?
@JulieSLalonde@Brightstar 2day-1st rep couldn't help. Transferred 2 a supervisor. On hold for 45 mins. Prompted 2 do customer satisfaction survey (the irony is almost 2 much). Selected 1(not satisfied). Call disconnected. Never actually spoke to another human being. This has been going on all week.
This is extremely powerful. It’s the only debate I care to see on the issue of looting in times of revolution. This debate belongs to Black people of every generation who have LIVED THIS. I applaud every man in that discussion.I hold space for every valid viewpoint they expressed
If you are still unsure what part to play in times of protest, try NOT appointing yourself judge of a people whose constant pain you’ve had the privilege to ignore.
Do not condemn what you do not understand. Do not condemn a people’s response to pain you’ve never had to feel. Do not condemn a fight that you are not a part of. #BlackLivesMatter
Black man: *Suspected* of writing a bad check. Killed by police.
White man: Pulls out a CROSSBOW to shoot people. Released by police.
And you want to know why people are protesting?
