Are we talking rollerblades or sneakers?

Only in Massachusetts would someone with 25 pages of criminal activities be out of jail.

I was given an extension due to having to take care of my family. Good luck!

…and he will be out by Friday. It’s all a part of the green new deal, we’re trying to get the revolving door of justice to spin fast enough to generate electricity once connected to a generator.

What a family!

Yes!

Yeah, NO.

Think of it more as scheduling rather than "SwITcHiNg TiMe ZoNEs Oh NOo!"

"Party starts at 8/7? Cool. I'll be there."

Not that fucking hard.

If you work in one state and live in another... Adjust. Seriously, again.. not that big a deal.

Odds are you’re beating a dead horse. It’s peanuts to opt in, and for whatever reason your organization doesn’t want to. Going over the CEO’s head is never a good idea, unless every employee agrees with you and this is a hot topic in the workplace. Most people don’t pay attention to leave policies because they don’t need them…until they need them. I cannot tell you how many times an employee has assumed that FMLA is 100% paid leave, or that there was no waiting requirement.

I insisted that was totally legal and fine to my sister. HA. Turns out I guess it's not, the paper of the upcoming schedule. She didn't listen to me as paranoid luckily. It should be fine as THEY know these appointments are all backed up and i feel terrible for your mother with that trauma, I can imagine. UGHGH. about the cop not being kindly or NORMAL.

Loved your 'it's my fault, I know' post. This is me. Thanks for the reminder and FEAR to just make an appointment or find out about if I need one before AUGUST. Pain in the ARSE IT ALL IS. I have heard the TRIPLE A places are easier but not sure if you have to be a member. CALL up and see. Good luck to me too.

From the state website: “Municipalities, districts, political subdivisions, housing authorities, regional school districts, and regional planning commissions are types of employers that are not eligible for PFML coverage but may opt in through a vote of their governing body or committee.”

I asked my CEO (who doubles as head of HR) if it would be possible to bring to our board for an opt-in vote. They refused saying we offer sick time. However sick time is not the same as a maternity leave or medical leave policy so I’m not sure about her logic.

Non profits are exempt (they can opt in if they want to).

>Both juvenile daughters were arrested and arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court, Hayden said. One of the juveniles, 16, was charged with larceny of a firearm, assault and battery, possession of a firearm without a license and possession of ammunition without a license. The other juvenile, 17, was charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct.

Gotta go cold brew all the way. That shit is like coke.

I didn’t think they could be exempt unless they offered an equivalent or better form of paid leave.

Why are they exempt?

fucking sucks.

You're gonna be doing a lot of doobie-rolling when you're living in a van down by the river!

Wife worked at a major non profit and wasnt eligible because of similar reasons. Was no wiggle room for minimum employment time

I would find a new company if they honestly couldn’t be bothered to offer some sort of maternity package or opt into the state program.. honestly might make more sense to just leave the job before the baby is born. I recently took my 12 weeks of paid state leave PFML for birth of a child.

I'll have to do some research on that thank you!

Taunton is better than it looks. It has a ton of parks.

I'll start calling around tomorrow to see if I can find somewhere closer.

I’d point out that without knowing the housing budget, it’s tough to say anything useful.

New Bedford is like Fall River. There are sections where nobody would want to live as well as some nice neighborhoods. The West End around Buttonwood Park is solid middle class and is close to Route 140 so access to Fall River is easy.
