Even with hybrid, shitbag employees are still shitbags. Like our company, M and F can work from home for eligible departments.

My company is establishing a hybrid work policy for those employees who are expected to be in the office at some interval. Apparently there were folks doing this shit of ghosting constantly and never being available so they're rolling out an official policy. I suspect it's defensibility to can slackers, which I support.
Still, people areabout RTO. Bitch, you were always supposed to be in the office, welcome to the real world. Remote employees are not effected because we get shit done. I have multiple "career chats" with people who want on my team now.

Those ultrasound weight measurements aren’t very accurate.SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2024 6:31 pm37 weeks today, so technically full term. Last measurement was 3 weeks ago and she was sitting right about 5.5lbs, so should be 6.5-7lbs at birth if she gained the expected .5lb/week these last few weeks.
Will report back on birth stats.
Still waiting for them to call to actually schedule the inducement.. 24hr urine test came back and showed elevated protein in her urine, so it will probably be tonight rather than tomorrow..
I guess you’ll find out soon enough! Exciting stuff!

Well we’re on the schedule for 8:00AM tomorrow now.
Frustrating. We never got a call from L/D to schedule the inducement. Michelle called a couple hours ago, “oh yeah they’ll be calling soon.” Nothing. She called back just now, “oh we’ll call you on another line right now”. They actually called, but then the woman she was speaking to apparently had been given zero information.. not sure if the doctor this morning didn’t update Michelle’s charts or what, but she was almost grilling Michelle asking why she wanted to be induced.. uh, she didn’t, her OB made it seem fairly urgent this morning. “Oh well your blood pressure isn’t in preeclampsia range. Why don’t you drop off your urine sample tomorrow and we’ll test it and then decide if you should be induced.” Bitch, we dropped it off this morning and already got results emailed to us, and she had high protein! “Oh, well your urine protein level isn’t in preeclampsia range (>300), so you’re fine.” Again, the OB this morning told us she doesn’t want to wait until it gets to that range.. michelle’s result was 290, so still high, just under the dangerous range. Finally the woman goes “okay well I guess you can still come in at 8:00 tomorrow.” WTF you mean, still come in. We haven’t been given a time and have been waiting all day for someone to call us with one.
Super
Disappointing because up until today her care team has been great. Clearly there was a breakdown in comms on their end today and we happened to get stuck with an apathetic nurse on the phone most now.

Welcome to medical care in the 20s bro! My sister is a labor and delivery nurse and she said this happens constantly. I mentioned our niece who had the same situation two weeks ago. Doctor sent her straight to the hospital for immediate birth due to BP… goes for hours, gets sent home, now still no baby yet.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 1:02 amThis kind of shit sends me into the anger management danger zone.SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2024 9:38 pm Well we’re on the schedule for 8:00AM tomorrow now.

I don’t understand why this isn’t addressed. Talk to employee, get story, say that’s strike one, three strikes you’re out. There’s are some great people I know who were laid off and still without jobs or pretty long term unemployed and then a bunch of shits still riding the gravy train doing fuck all and making life hell for everyone else.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2024 9:28 pmEven with hybrid, shitbag employees are still shitbags.

they took Charles a week early via c-section because all the ultra sound measurements (and there were sooooo many) indicated he WAS 9+ lbs at like week 35.
He was barely 6lbs.
PS. unless you have an exceptionally strong stomach dont peek over that curtin if its a c section. I consider myine to be very / better than most and I almost passed out. Like, I dont actually remember it kinda lack of blood flow nearly passed out. seeing that kind of blood and guts is different when its your wife.

I was very close to taking the phone from Michelle and ripping the charge nurse a new one. Decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and maybe Michelle’s chart wasn’t updated or something. If we get there today and shit isn’t sorted I will be far less understanding.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 1:02 amThis kind of shit sends me into the anger management danger zone.SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2024 9:38 pm Well we’re on the schedule for 8:00AM tomorrow now.

I’m half expecting that. I won’t cause a scene there in case we do get admitted so I don’t jeopardize michelle’s care in any way, but I’ll be taking names and calling and emailing until I feel appropriate actions have been taken.golftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 9:11 amYea...I hope I'm wrong but watch them not be expecting you and try to send you home.SAWCE wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 9:07 am

I decided to swam thru tiktok today, i happen to saw an interview play where they basically dont hire someone that isnt white nor straight. But then plays the im gay card along with pronouns and the interviewer eyes sparkle like a xmas tree.

The don’t hire whites is 100% real. And in particular white males. I have been in these meetings and I have been sick to my stomach during them. Haven’t seen the whole hire she/them/Xi crap though …MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 9:55 amI decided to swam thru tiktok today, i happen to saw an interview play where they basically dont hire someone that isnt white nor straight.

Its about the inclusivity broooo, that somehow reminded me about shameless. Where Liam (whose black and came from the hood) got enrolled to a private institution by his dead beat father that somehow got him there. So whenever the parents come for appointment, theres a guide showing kids playing in playground, so when that happens, Liam gets called from his class to involuntarily join in to show inclusivity, diversity as hes the only black kid at school.max225 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 10:02 amThe don’t hire whites is 100% real.

I have also yet to see the pronouns as such except with a couple of coworkers who has they/them but they seem to be not quite like that to my eyes. Close would be being that one male coworker with painted nails and a bro ponytail, but atleast they're not the work backstabbers like griff has been dealing with.
I really hope so for that action against it.
