1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Being thin skinned today?

What about the old guy y'all bullied yesterday

 

My work is freaking out about my month long leave, tryin to find someone that can fill in for a couple big photoshoots they need to have while I'm gone. I told them I can work it out to come in a few times over that month long period, they were relieved, and now they're freaking out because HR is saying they don't like that idea. I guess it complicates the whole process from a paperwork standpoint. Can't please anybody lol

I would rather just come in personally...last time they had someone come in for me when I was on vacation, my workload doubled because I had to go through it all and redo most of it.

 

Yeah but from a legal standpoint, it's not good at all for the employer even if you volunteer said time.

 

Just changed the oil in Stephanie's car, and waiting for shit to come in. Have so much metal but not specifically what I need

 

Funny I had the same issue. It's just easier than adding payed hours and then deducting it in your FMLA. Such a pain in the ass.

 

That's the worst, I hate waiting for parts for a project I want to get done.

I'v been so lazy in San Diego, just ran to Dutch Bros to get everyone coffee.

 

Found my next welder

$70 GZ GUOZHI Stick Welder Small Mini Portable, 110V 130A ARC MMA Welding Machine with 10ft Electrode Holder Cable & 10ft Work Clamp, IGBT Inverter Welder Digital Display, Welder Nomanlly at -68°F

my supervisor just told me he talked to HR and got them to approve it, just need approval from his boss (CFO). I guess they're gonna make it work, but yeah I figured it would make things pretty complicated with the FMLA and state reimbursement.

 

Idk how people take that much time off at once. I'd never come back lol

 

yeah this will be the most I've done, 1 month. Last time I only did 3 weeks. But as far as taking leave for childbirth goes it's not very long, I know a few others here have done 3 - 6 months...I think 6 months is the max in CA that you're protected for

but yeah if taking 6 months off I really don't think I'd come back lol


edit - I'm wrong, quick google verification says 3 months per year for FMLA

 

Gotcha. Ya I think they let my coworker use his sick + vacation for paternity leave and he was gone about 2 months total.
I've got about 140 hours to use but I sort of prefer to just use them here and there. Max I've taken off at once was a week in the last 5 years.

 

Yeah Stephanie was off what, 3 months?

 

yeah if I were the one having the baby I'd definitely max it out, recovery from that is no joke especially if there are complications. Not to mention the needs of a newborn

 

we get two weeks, which equals a month for the guys that work 7 on 7 off

 

On the plus side I get more vacation time per pay period now since I've been here a while - didn't even know that was a thing until it started happening haha

 

You mean 2 weeks paid? Surely you're allowed more than 2 weeks for childbirth lol. That would be nuts

I don't get any paid family leave outside of my normal PTO. But the state does partial reimbursement for family leave

 

2 weeks paid, and no, only 2 weeks.

birthing parent gets like 3 months or something

 

I have had the last 5 months off. I go back to work on Monday. I am excited but also sad.

 

Oh ok well that's definitely better, but they should extend that to include both parents imo.
