Just had a good conversation with the Texas Wage board They are ready to go after my former employer who owes me a small fortune; and, here is the best part, they recommended that I have a chat with immigration and customs about what they've been doing here in the US and maybe have their border crossing options limited (e.g. welcome to this small but comfy holding cell to hang out in while we consider letting you leave.)

You mean Citi?

He's meaning that logistics company that wanted him to move their hq from Qatar to Spain.

oh? you don't work there anymore? I missed that!

They officially let me go a few days ago (well technically, they can't let me go, my contract says a month's notice) but they gave me notice a few days ago because I demanded my paychecks.

As you can imagine, firing someone for asking for their paycheck doesn't go over well to the Texas wage board.

Right now they are looking at...

• Not having paid wages.
• Running a scam (state gov't recommend I turn them in to immigration).
• Not paying their taxes (that's between them and the IRS, but this will flag them.)
• Unemployment claims.
• One month's pay for notice.
• Possibly claims for intent to defraud.
• Wrongful termination, since it was not an at-will position.
• And always the possibility of a discrimination investigation.

OH DANG!

@scottalanmiller said in I can't even:

Every single response was unprofessional and filled with intentional FUD to try to make their own insecure, hubris-filled decisions seem justified.

Not one used logic or gave reasons. Just BS misdirection and refusal to think and do their jobs.

This was a great read

mornin!

I'm being dead serious here, have you asked her if post-it notes would work? If she needs a reminder to tell the customer to have a good day or that toilet paper is 10% off, it seriously could be the correct solution. I have coworkers that have up to 10 post-its on the monitor, phone, etc. at any given time. We also use label makers to more permanently attach certain things like "Transfer * Ext = VM" right on the phone...

Maybe it is a ticker for her password, lol.

Just change her password to "Incorrect" so when she can't login the computer says "Your password is Incorrect."

Dad joke of the day.

Erm, since when is Google doing this?

celebrating birthdays?

Actually inserting "custom" doodles based on your personal data

What?!

There's a doodle saying "Happy birthday Thorsten". Guess what "th" in "thwr" means Never saw this before, that's why I'm asking.

OH! happy birthday i'll have a slice of cake to that.

Too late. I brought 3 cakes (13x15 inch) today. It was like... gremlins. Vanished into void within minutes.

HAHA! That's a great visual

It's someone's birthday every day... so if you need an excuse to eat cake every day, you have one.

True. Guess I'll grab a slice after I hit the gym later.

Still better than birthdays

I dunno, on birthdays you at least have a good excuse to eat cake. Birthdays> Mondays

You need an excuse to eat cake? Damn that's rough. . .

Yea... Last time I realized I could eat cake when I wanted I got very addicted to sugar and gained 40 lbs now I have to have self control.

@wirestyle22 said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Birthday dinner last night. In the middle is mac n cheese with truffles.

I was so starving by the time we ate that I forgot to take a pic of the apps. This used to be fried pickles on the top and pork belly with clams in coconut sauce on the bottom.

Happy late birthday!
