It’s a business. What if there is no administrative vacancy? Then the business has to create a position that is not even needed, pay her salary, then pay the salary of her replacement? Why do people not understand how business works? If your job doesn’t work for you- go get another one. It is not your employer’s job…

How do you know they didn’t? Also, you’re assuming that there is just a boon of available jobs in this company. So now the company should spend the money to create a job for a special snowflake who randomly decided after converting two years ago that she doesn’t want to fulfill her job description, and also spend the…

Large corporations do not just fire someone for something like this without having their legal ducks in order - i.e. probably other performance issues well documented over time. Which the media will never hear about because it’s strictly confidential. So, no, probably not bad HR policy “101” at all. Signed, an actual…

It is something you’re entitled to if it is part of the airline’s policy and part of their FA job description, which as I mentioned before, I doubt you are familiar with.

Then she should work for an airline there.

Have you seen a copy of this particular airline’s FA job description? Because if not, you really cannot say if she was fulfilling her duties or not. The FAA may specify the regulations, but the airline is her employer.

So true. I love the born-again Christians who drank, drugged, divorced, and had children out of wedlock, got it out of their system, and now are conveniently judge-y about all of the above. Well, yeah, easy for you now!

What are you even saying? That in your job, you should be able to pick and choose a few small duties from your job description that you don’t want to do and be able to keep said job because well, you’re not refusing to do “all” of them? Wish I knew that fun fact today - I would’ve had a much better day! Can’t wait to…

Reasonable accommodation takes into account workplace efficiency and anything that could negatively affect the employer’s business. So I would say that negative reviews and annoyed customers certainly affect the employer’s bottom line. As does the turnover that is inevitably caused when other employees tire of having…

So she can fight them on the issue until she’s becoming too much of a problem to keep around and then turn around and file a wrongful term suit and get rich. She’s brilliant! (I hate people)

I posted this to someone else - my life in HR has taught me that there is always more to the story. And large companies aren’t going to fire someone like her (who has already asked for religious accommodation) who can turn around and play the wrongful term card without covering their bases. My thoughts? They tried to…

Eh. Not necessarily. We’re only seeing what she is blabbing about. I’ve been in HR a long time; I know that oftentimes in these situations there is way more to the story. So while it seems pretty cut and dry: “they said they’d work with me then, bam, they changed their minds and fired me out of nowhere”, there is…

Not the only one - I have always offered. Probably because my parents drilled it into my head that it was good manners to always offer to pay my own way in all situations. However, once I got an awkward reaction from whomever I was on the date with, I just backed down and thanked them politely. Now, me and Mr.…

It’s an ebb and flow. I noticed in my early thirties (and on BC), my crazy sex drive plummeted, especially once the excitement of a new relationship wore off. I’ve been in a long-term LDR (hopefully, the distance coming to an end soon) and during a long visit earlier this year and some last year, my sex drive was nil…

UGH! I’ve been there. So much. It’s like you want to know, but don’t want to know at the same time. Take a break. Let him miss you. Let him wonder where you are - what your plans are. Seriously - let this go on for awhile. I know it sounds like a mind-game, but the longer you go without him, you will actually be…

I know! My rescue dogs have always been seniors, so there’s always been a lot of built in issues (some of which I’ve just had to live with...) My first rescue just passed about a year and a half ago, and I didn’t know much about his history. But he had separation anxiety to the point that he would destroy everything…

I can’t imagine how painful it is. Years ago, my mother went through some...stuff...and became awful to be around. It was pretty damaging. No one can hurt you worse than your own flesh and blood - they’re the ones you should be able to depend on to love you unconditionally. Luckily, things have healed in that area for…

That’s totally normal! Or else, I hope it is - I have bouts like that too. Sometimes I think it’s just nature’s way of forcing us to back away a little bit, reflect, and reboot.

Hugs for rescuing! I spend way too much time thinking and worrying about my rescue babies and their feelings as well. I was out of the country recently and pretty much stalked my pet sitter daily. And I will not apologize for it! :)

I’m so so sorry. I know so many people (myself included) who are just having the shittiest summer as far as finances (so dire), health, interpersonal relationships. I keep telling people I want it to be fall so we can all have a fresh start! What I keep telling myself and others is this is temporary. It sucks when you…
