My father's house in on one acre. He is a child of the depression. Not an extreme hoarder, but a man who cannot easily part with "valuable" possessions. His idea of valuable and mine are greatly different. When my husband renovated Dad's house to make it more livable for an elderly person, we...

My Dad is 86. He has a huge home, four bedrooms on the 2nd floor, with one bath and a bedroom on the first floor with a half bath. Downsizing at this point in his life would be too disruptive. So my husband renovated the first floor half bath, enlarged it and put in a modular shower unit that...

I emptied my locker. I declined an exit interview and the email "exit survey" that HR had sent. I listened to the wisdom of the forum. Let it go. I let it go. I left, quietly. Anti-climatic. I was walking to the parking lot (it was still dark so early in the morning). and heard someone call my...

A fountain pen in a gift case. A impulsive buy. Cursive writing with pens with a nib is scarce. I like the result.

Good or bad. What experience can you share with the forum? Thanks

Thanks TGL 405. Good advice. I am listening. And the others that mock my "drama"...well I do not have the Dramamine that youtube suggests. I do however have a prescription for anti-anxiety pills. which I got during the height of my personal stress which was not alleviated with my request for...

Hahaha I need Dramamine!!!!! "Nobody wants your drama" good line. Read another thread if my "drama" exhausts you. Lots of good threads on this forum. You don't have to read mine!

How do you mean tps7742?

Also, I am female by the way. When I started I was one of only a half dozen female operators in my job. A female a generation before me would not have an opportunity to work in my field. It was men only. When I first started I faced open misogyny. The other female in my class eventually quit ...

Willers I am a tough blue collar worker. Your advice you think might be harsh. But it is good advice. Thanks

I think this is good advice Meadbh

ERD50 The question may be .."would I do it again"...The answer...Yes...and about the consequences I endured...Still Yes....that does not justify the consequences...in my research the HR rep disregarded one of the tenets of HR...the right to accommodation. But this thread I am asking for others...

MichaelB I want others to share their experience. I am curious.

Expectations of HR at Megacorp I have started a new thread, a detailed explanation of my situation is explained in my previous post My "exit interview" I request HR to be there" This thread is regards to how my expectations of HR "assistance" was so profoundly different to what happened in...

Nothing...maybe nothing...I don't know. I wish I could just take everyone's advice and leave quietly...it would be so easy ..for me and "HR"...Honestly I have come to the forum to listen to people...because 90 % of me wants to walk away...quietly into the sunset..it is the 10% of me I am struggling

I of course have retained all emails and documents. Remedy? Nope I have no specific "remedy" in mind. I just want to have and exit interview and thank the production team that I have been so proud to part of for three decades. And I want the production team to know how I feel about HR and how HR...

Clobber Since everyone agrees things are better since the incompetent manager left..there will be no negative repercussions...

I get your point clobber...but I knew the incompetent manager would be gone...sooner of later..sooner maybe because of my vocal objections which he saw as insolence. And I suppose it was. But I have a "bigger picture" vision. I said what others where afraid to say. Do I regret it? NO.... NO I...

Yes...

Brewer I will tell you of the outcome. I am a respected member of the shop floor team. I believe (and know) the operations team support me. I need to do this. After three decades of a great career..I cannot let the HR person get the "last word"...No..I will get the last word in front of my...

This is good advice. This is advice I want to take. I just want to empty my locker and leave. I want to take this advice...but the thing is...if I do not take the opportunity to hold HR accountable..what happens to the young people that take my place. I want to let this go...90% of me wants to...

Dash Man Good advice. I wish I could take it. A family member was trying to get into the company...he was on the "list" for over a year. I did not want to hinder his effort..so I kept silent....he got the final rejection letter. Now I can speak my mind freely.

youbet I would have if I knew about it. I was so distressed and overwhelmed..when I met with HR I thought they would have presented options for me (like the one you said)...I finally did get transferred to 12 hours...after over 2 months..and it was a really difficult time. The fact that HR did...

Here is the thing clobber..about the "pain I experienced"...by speaking my mind. I alerted top management to the problem, knowing full well about the consequences alienating the incompetent manager. If I stayed silent..yup..I would "prevent the pain" I experienced. And stayed silent. as our...
