Would you think a manager saying “you’re up for coaching” in passing and walking away is enough of a “talk” about being put on coaching? I thought we were suppose to have a 1 on 1 explaining the details and then I’m supposed to acknowledge a document in work force.

There is definitely some mad management in the comments down voting every one. This isn’t about me showing up or not. It’s about sop being followed correctly and being treated fairly. Why should I take accountability and follow the rules if they won’t?

Hoping it’s not just me but is anyone else having issues logging into Elan Financial services? Both the app and the website. The app says “your account needs extra attention please call” but I can’t atm as I don’t keep the card on me. And the website says they’re having technical difficulties. The app message just freaks me out

24(f) and I just got my blood tests back that show my cholesterol is borderline high at 226 and my LDL is high at 149. Thankfully all my other test results are good. What are my next steps to take care of my cholesterol? Is this something that can easily be lowered? I’m quite stressed out about this and won’t be able to speak to my doctor till after the weekend

Has anyone here ever requested a loa for pet loss? If so, what did the process look like? And is it even possible?
I’ve been told the horrible news that I have to put my best friend to rest in the next coming days. It’s very unexpected. I contacted my OSM informing them that I’m unaware of how my attendance will look the next week or so due to the situation as I felt being honest was the most professional thing to do. They informed me I can possibly use vacation time (I don’t have enough sick time) to be paid but they will not excuse my occurrences as “it’s not fair”.
I’ve never taken a LOA but I truly don’t think I’m emotionally fit to be on the floor and most importantly I feel as though I need to spend the next days with my pet as the vet suggested. But I can’t really afford to rack up occurrences as I’m on coaching. I know coaching is only the first level of attendance reinforcement (or whatever you wanna call it) but it’s just adding on to my stress levels and I’m less than 2 months away from getting off of it.

I apologize if this isn’t allowed, I read the rules but might’ve missed something.

Sadly I received some bad news that my feline best friend of 16yrs needs to be laid to rest next week. I’ve been given one more week with him.

I was wondering if anyone in Massachusetts or the new England area has had luck with partial pet taxidermy and who you went to? If possible I’d like to save his tail or paw and allow the rest of him to be cremated (but I know it might only be possible to have one or the other done). Any info is greatly appreciated. I’m kind of in shock right now so I hope this makes sense haha

A few days ago I was spray painting at work for about an hour. Almost immediately after I noticed a pins and needles feeling in the tip of my pinky on my dominant hand. I figured I’d give it a couple minutes and it’d go away…well 3 days later and it’s still there. Today I noticed that when pressure is applied to the side of my middle joint I can feel almost shocks go through my pinky. I imagine maybe that’s where it’s coming from and maybe it had something to do with how I was holding the can.
Has anyone else ever dealt with this and is it neuropathy? It’s my first time ever experiencing something like this and I’m not really enjoying it haha.

Idk if this is allowed but at work my bosses had me spraying painting for about an hour. I do not spray paint on the regular but have done it before. Anyways almost immediately after, I noticed the tip of my pinky finger has gone pins and needles numb. Does this have any correlation to the spray painting and if so why?
Online I read up about people’s pointer finger going numb and that makes sense due to the pressure but idk why my pinky is numb.

Okay…is it normal for arborists to shit their pants while in the tree because it’s too hard to get down, too much work to get out of the gear and sometimes you just “really have to go” or is this one person I know just actually unwell…

Can someone give me a really quick step by step on how to do a water change? If I’m doing a 10% change I understand I take water from the top out and then I’m to replace that with new water. What should I be adding to the replacement water? Should I make sure the water is at the right temp before adding it?
Thank you!

Legally, can you use your phone in your hand while Idling on the road? Not on the side of the road but on the road.

New 10gal tank setup that I’ve just started cycling and I’ve had a imagitarium infil20 on for an hour and it’s stopped running. It’s not the outlet or breaker as other things being plugged in still work. What might the issue be? I put sand and water in yesterday and the water hadn’t cleared yet, could sand be clogging it?

So I’m getting a 10 gallon tank set up atm and have a filter, heater and light all of which have to be plugged in of course. I was wondering if it’s okay to plug the heater (50w) into the wall and then the filter (5w) and light (10w) into an extension cord that is 125v and 13a. I’m just trying to be fire safe and keep my fish safe

Are store managers legally not allowed to help associates with customers or something??? In my 7 years I’ve only asked a store manager twice to help with a customer in an urgent situation where they were the closest person around who could help and each time I’ve been met with disgust plus the MODs immediately getting irritated and telling me to never do that again. Which every other time I call an MOD but in this situation the first one I called didn’t answer and then the store manager walked by and I just waved him down and ask if he could help one guy really quick while I dealt with a current customer and now it’s a big deal.
