comedyblissoption posted:"At-will employment" is the policy that lets employers fire you for any reason or no reason at all (except if it would violate federal discrimination laws, but good luck proving that). During the monthly all hands meetings at a former job, the CFO would get up and remind everyone of their at will employment status. Basically she would get up there and tell us that she could fire any of us at any time because it was "not a right to work state." This happened every single month that I worked there

Calico Heart posted:I can, however, announce I'm leaving and then take any vacation days I haven't taken yet and be paid for them. I actually had a super-decent boss who when they let me go reminded me I had vacation days I hadn't taken and said there were no hard feelings if I used them up in the two-week period. PTO isn't a legal right in the US, if you have extra PTO, they can most definitely refuse to give you those vacation days.

ate all the Oreos posted:At my last job someone did the whole "give two weeks notice then go on vacation" thing so they fired them after one day out as one last gently caress-you I guess I once worked a job, and they tried to convince me that in order to get into the position I wanted, I would have to quit, and they would rehire me as a contractor. Of course when you quit, you lose all the perks, and you're lucky if a temp agency will give you anything. I basically refused until they quietly moved me over. The thing that always got me about that job was that they hired a lot of immigrants who's primary language wasn't English, so I'm sure they had managed to get away with that scummy poo poo before.

Yeah, basically the US carriers suck a fat one. There's no incentive to upgrade, and they can charge whatever they want, so you're stuck sitting on a hard rear end seat that's been in the air for 25 years because what are you going to do about it? Also, they overbook all the flights because reasons

In about 1999, I got my first credit card, it had a limit of $300. By the time 2005 rolled around the limit among the 3 cards I had was around $20,000. Needless to say 2004-2006 was a time where I worked 3rd shift in a new city where I didn't know anyone and I managed to max out all of those bitches. I really don't recommend it because most people won't be able to weasel out of that much credit card debt, but I did because I managed to be unemployed a lot, and eventually they gave up around 2012. These days I have one credit card with a $1500 limit that I really just use for my little subscriptions like Hulu or Netflix that like to get charged at inopportune times..

Metallica has pretty much sucked since the 80's ended. These days they exist to make corporate suits feel like they're still in touch. I don't listen to the radio much these days, but I do recall rock stations having a ~30 minute block of "Mandatory Metallica" starting around 2000. I certainly don't think they're mainstream relevant these days, but there are a lot of people who have forgotten how they're piss babbies and will defend everything they put out. Megadeth was always the better band even if Dave Mustaine has always been an irredeemable rear end in a top hat. autism ZX spectrum posted:Fuckin never stops pissing me off that all the big rock stations go to ads at the exact same time so you can't avoid commercials without turning the radio off. I straddle two markets, and I think this extends to songs as well. There are a few songs that I seem to encounter at approximately the same time, it's not like they're even new songs that are getting pushed, it's old stuff like Spoonman. There have also been multiple occasions when I have switched stations only to find the exact same song playing, or it's the next song, again it's always old stuff

Super Grocery Kart posted:Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, and ...and Justice for All are loving great albums. Agreed that it’s all poo poo after there though. Back in the day though they were doing some innovative stuff with metal. Kill 'Em All is a great first album, but yeah, Metallica is a band that had a really good short run that somehow just kept going. Had they disbanded at any time before the black album, they'd probably be considered the greatest metal band of all time. Now they're on par with the Simpsons

ate all the Oreos posted:I live next to no fewer than three different spine-related companies, LaserSpine (which has a cool building with a roof shaped like a spine), BioSpine and something I forgot the name of. I have no idea what any of them do or how they're supposed to fix your spine but they seem to be doing really well Basically it's predatory on people who can get enough money to attempt to get their backs fixed non-surgically. Seriously, if they're all using lasers, all they do is take a laser and heat up your discs. They claim that it returns bulging or herniated discs to it's normal shape, but there's really no data that indicates how effective it is let alone how long such a snake oil treatment lasts.

A treatment to minor spine issues from normal wear and tear. Nope, it was literally something that was cashing in on the 80's obsession with lasers.
