Goodbye

I forget there are real people at the knot/nest.

Kind of like last month when I wrote a rant on the hospital's "Praise!" page and was contacted by HR. "Oh, so somebody reads this...Huh."

Please share more.

Oh a bunch of policies changed around here. Less money and benefits for the same amount of work.

But the topic that enraged me (yes, enraged!) was that they eliminated our sick time. So if you're sick, you use vacation time. If you have to have a scope done, it's vacation time. Orrrrr a D&C, use your vacation time. I had over 300 hours of sick time banked for maternity leave should I have kids, which now, they no longer will honor.

However, the gist of my letter has to do with the fact that we are taking care of a TON of people with communicable diseases and illnesses who get us sick. AND, we also have patients with weakened immune systems who cannot afford to be exposed to sick employees. I work at a major center for the treatment of leukemia, so my little bout of the sniffles can do major damage to them. It disgusts me that the new system will be putting all of us at risk, because people are more likely to come to work being ill if they don't have sick time to use. You just can't run a hopsital, and not have sick time.

I get the frustration. But you posted this on a public or company website that others could see and were contacted by HR why? To get more input? To chastize you?

You have to come back to vote in March Madness at the very least. It would be even better if you have a kid or pet you can enter into the competition. We are also adding a category for people you are boning.

Fantastic. I'll enter Kitty Fat Pants and leave my husband out. He's a red head anyway.

I am from Missouri! St. Louis, specifically. Are you moving back here to have babies or whatever? Staying in NYC? Do you at least come back to visit (for GTG purposes)?
I will PM you my email address and FB profile and let you make the next move.

I was just in STL for NYE (rang in the new year at a bowling alley in Clayton), and then back to my hometown in the Ozarks. I'll be staying in NYC for awhile.Definitely PM me. Are you on Twitter?
Tropicana!
I passed out on the bathroom floor there once. A LONG time ago, don't judge me!

I grew up in the Ozarks! We are practically kin!

MadameS · January 2012

I was contacted to let me know that my opinions were not in line with our mission (yeah? neither is your policy, biatch!) and that my post was going to be removed. Heaven forbid anyone have an opinion differing from the mission.

Oh man, best of luck, Annie!! We'll miss you!

Something similar happened to a coworker at Mr. Winged's work.

Down, girl.

Now as for your new sick time policy, that's messed up that you lose those 300 hours. Are they upping your vacation time to make up for this? My company does that-- it all comes out of one pool. You just get x number of days paid time off and they're to be used for sick, vacation, or personal time. We get slightly above the usual vacation time to make up for it.

Fallin - Is your redhead funny, sarcastic, smart, thin and balding? I have ginger man theories.

Yes to everything but thin, and he's converted balding to shaved bald.

Let's hear the theories.

You know Fallin and I have the exact same redheaded, funny, sarcastic, smart, (not) thin and balding husbands right? We actually do. If you were to describe them the descriptions would be identical.

Ditto. Though he denies his ginger-ness and declares the hair (not) on his head is a different color than his facial/body hair.

MadameS · January 2012

Moo, no adjustments were made to compensate for the sick time loss. Nada. Hurs banked are just gone into thin air. Which those hours equal about 10k for me, if i were to get paid out of them, and I've only been here 9 years. Imagine how ragey some of the older employees are.

But! They were gracious enough to REQUIRE all employees get a flu shot. However, I am allergice to egg whites and thimerisol, so I can't have the shot anyway. Instead, I am supposed to wear a mask every day from November to March because that's considered flu season.

I'm not exactly sure why most bald or have a better metabolism or if I'm making that up, which I probably am - I tweet for a living, not science.

My husband said that he resorted to humor because he wasn't exactly Jake Ryan. I think funny people are usually smart, right? Does Conan wear a weave?

Interesting. Mine is close. He's all of those and not as thin as he used to be. His older brother would be that exact same description.

I would say no, but I think you just have it backwards. Kevin is funny because he is smart (and witty).

I am from Missouri! St. Louis, specifically. Are you moving back here to have babies or whatever? Staying in NYC? Do you at least come back to visit (for GTG purposes)?
I will PM you my email address and FB profile and let you make the next move.

I was just in STL for NYE (rang in the new year at a bowling alley in Clayton), and then back to my hometown in the Ozarks. I'll be staying in NYC for awhile.Definitely PM me. Are you on Twitter?
Tropicana!
I passed out on the bathroom floor there once. A LONG time ago, don't judge me!

That's, like 2 miles from my house!

Amazing. You're a lucky lady. I miss Missouri bowling alleys. That one has some great fried goodies, but most people did some kind of BYO crock pot kind of thing. We stayed at the Cheshire Inn - also amazing.
