@Queen_primis That could be great fertilizer

@NOVA_Paladin @kaernhaesuhl @MinModulation I had no idea it was that extreme. Interesting.

@NoNonsenseND The flip side of “ignorance is bliss”

@NadinP85 @Favwontmiss Beautiful kitties. I used to have a ragdoll that looked a lot like the one in the back.

@archaicvision Yep, I got a severance payment contingent upon waiving all my rights.

[achickie @achickie]

@archaicvision @foxinsox26 Yep. They’ll find a reason to fire you or pretend the position has been eliminated altogether and lay you off. They almost always win one way or another.

[achickie @achickie]

@foxinsox26 @Suzanne08053 @angryaboutbikes I’d love it if that was true, but sadly most people get nowhere with this stuff.

[achickie @achickie]

@foxinsox26 @naturalslf @angryaboutbikes Equal employment opportunity commission - the fed agency that handles such complaints.

[achickie @achickie]

@foxinsox26 @naturalslf @angryaboutbikes Yeah that all sounds great in theory but in practice very few people can even get that far. The EEOC is pretty useless.

[achickie @achickie]

@foxinsox26 @Suzanne08053 @angryaboutbikes Not really. They won’t come out and say that’s why, they claim it’s restructuring/downsizing and the position is no longer needed. They’ll also offer severance that is conditional upon you waiving your right to sue. They know what they’re doing.

[achickie @achickie]

@LilNylo @niktharrison @angryaboutbikes As if they don’t have their own lawyers working diligently to ensure that they can screw you over without issue

[achickie @achickie]

@floofindustries @angryaboutbikes Be persistent and force them into it and they will just find another reason to get rid of you

[achickie @achickie]

@naturalslf @angryaboutbikes Right so what they do instead is poke holes in your paperwork to try to deny it and/or offer “accommodations” that don’t cost them anything and won’t even help your situation. Then they will find other ways to get rid of you.

[achickie @achickie]

@KaizenMayDay @naturalslf @angryaboutbikes Yup, and if they can’t manage to find a good reason to fire you they’ll find a reason for a “lay off.”

Workers protections are a complete joke in this country.

[achickie @achickie]

@naturalslf @angryaboutbikes In the US they’re just sneakier about it, I’ve learned from experience

[achickie @achickie]

@gweenhouseghost @angryaboutbikes I conveniently got “laid off” when I wouldn’t let them bully me out of needing an accommodation. And now I can’t sue them without forfeiting the severance package, even though it’s clearly retaliation 😒

[achickie @achickie]

@Suzanne08053 @angryaboutbikes And then they turn around and lay you off because they resent you for it

@MamaSissieSays I mean this looks like it’s geared towards children.. did you expect a makeout session for the camera?
