I will be honest I understand the anxiety surrounding it. You take all 12 or 18 weeks or whatever and the company still functions, hard not to be paranoid that your role might be deemed "irrelevant/replaceable" especially in this economy. Or you feel out of the loop/useless. But I will te...

I find it hilarous that they offer you these benefits and for some reason you are atleast threatened to be terminated actually using it. It's like your car is advertised with their launch control and for some reason warranty is void. The :math: ain't :math: ing This is unique for everyone and depen...

We only get four weeks of paternity leave, :tits: at our company get 12. Seems like everyone uses it no problem though. A few of my neighbors work for the big banks here (BofA, Wells Fargo) and even the dudes take their full 12 or 16 weeks and they’re not even allowed to check email during that tim...

if you get fired for taking your benefits that are guaranteed to you as part of your employment, you can sue for retaliation and/or file unemployment. Alternatively, you can use those 18-weeks to search for a new job... But I understand feeling the pressure of having to come back to work. Also, in p...

I heard there is a perpetual shit flinging/finger pointing contest between Toyota and Subaru because Toyota doesn't want to warranty an engine they did not make and Subaru won't warranty an engine that is not in a car they themselves produced.

Can’t you’d set up a google number for free and have the Google phone app on your cell so you aren’t giving away your personal cell number? Still blows, but at least you aren’t paying for a second phone line that way. I did consider this but it’s a bit of a hassle + I need hot spot and such :ohwell...
