oneforthevine posted:Taxation is theft! The Subtotal is $59.91, and I count four bills. This means that this guy probably left a tip of $1-20, minus tax ($7, let's say.) So, his tip is anywhere from $3-13 depending upon if he left a 20 or a 10. This, for what appears to be a two-person meal of some complexity. From my over analysis of a stupid image, I conclude that libertarians are stingy assholes. I expect my nobel in the mail, thanks.

Working service jobs I never got really angry unless someone either: a.) completely stiffed me. b.) gave me like below 2 dollars. As long as that person gave me money? I'd have been okay with it. To add, I've had people tip me with a bible before and 10 bucks. It was incredibly thoughtful of them. I still have the bible with me to this day  .

From what I understand the people who make those advise you to give an actual tip along with the tract, since even they know not tipping would be a dick move that would just alienate people.

Tip sharing schemes are often scummy bullshit that allows the managers/owners to take a cut of tips though, so there are valid reasons for slipping waitstaff some money other than I am SMITH COMMA JOHN and I do not recognize your 'TAX CODES'.

Yes, there is a certain subset of the population who believes in a form of legal alchemy, where if you combine the right words in the right order, you can invoke secret laws and basically bypass all sorts of things about the way people live.

Is that really a standard thing? e: I don't get weird forwards, so I can't offer content. Sorry, thread.

It wasn't a Facebook post or email, it was dinner conversation. My husband and I are foster parents and just adopted our foster son yesterday. We have two bio kids and are aware of paternity leave options, which are absolutely required when someone goes through a C-section and can barely walk. But adoptions are a little different since he has been in our home already for 2 years and we aren't dealing with caring for someone after birth or anything, so we are struggling with the idea of taking paternity leave or not. I am all for it, I would love my husband and I to spend solid one-on-one time with our new legal family (even though nothing has really changed) but my husband is understandably concerned about taking so much time off of work. What can I say, we are Americans who have been drilled into our head to not accept "entitlements". So after gathering all of the requirements and options from his company's HR office, we are now down to making a final decision if/when to take his leave. We had a Mother's Day dinner with local family and friends and the topic came up, and every single person at the table immediately tried to dissuade my husband from taking leave. "What will they think at your job?" "How will that reflect on your reputation?" which was all maddening coming from a group of folks who started trash-talking Donald Trump about 20 minutes into arriving in our home. A few months ago, I mentioned in this thread that we were WIC eligible for free milk, formula, etc and we opted not to take it because we had plenty of income to cover it and y'all were quick to point out that those "entitlements" are there for a reason. I tried using that same logic to justify our considering paternity leave, but they were really hearing none of it. Just because something is there for you to take doesn't mean you need to use it. And in the case of WIC, they all firmly believed that because I didn't participate some other more worthy family was able to in my place. Paternity leave in the US has plenty of issues - we only get 12 weeks, 6 of which are funded at 55% pay by the state and we'll have to pay for our portion of his benefits for the few weeks we do take off - but I think it's too valuable of a resource to pass up! My husband is meeting with his supervisor (who seems to be pretty laid back, and she takes yearly month-long trips to India for family visits so hopefully she'll get it) to go over their schedules and make sure it's even feasible, but the idea that this is some crazy notion only losers who don't care about their jobs would participate in really bums me out. I'm not asking a lot, a few weeks this summer to spend solid family time together going to the zoo and stuff.

VorpalBunny posted:I tried using that same logic to justify our considering paternity leave, but they were really hearing none of it. Just because something is there for you to take doesn't mean you need to use it. For people with this mindset, this is how I would characterize it: Paternity leave is part of my employment benefits, which are given as a package instead of a higher base pay. Instead of getting paid more, I decided to take a position that had a lower base pay, but additional perks like providing health insurance (allowing me to benefit from better group rates) and the ability to take time off. These are not freebies or gifts that my job is giving me as a courtesy, it is part of my compensation for the work I do* every day of the week. Now, let's ask if any of these people would give back 10% of their paycheck on the basis of 'just because something is there for you to take doesn't mean you need to use it'. If they pay all their bills in a month, do they ever consider giving some money back to their boss because they didn't 'need' it? If you had just had a kid and your job gave you a raise, would anyone decline it? If not, why should you decline the benefits that are given in lieu of raw compensation? By not using them you are literally giving part of your hard-earned paycheck back to your employer on the basis that you 'don't need it'. Tons of people get zero paternity leave beyond what might be required by FMLA, if you have it you should use every bit that you can afford to and will benefit your family. I was very lucky to get 2 and 4 weeks of paid leave when my kids were born, and you can bet that I took every day of that. * work may include posting on SA.

Were your friends concerned about your husband taking leave when he didn't need to, or were they concerned that he would be putting his job at risk for taking it? Unfortunately the latter is a very real concern for a lot of people; they are allowed paid leave but are severely discouraged from actually taking it. This primarily applies to people with at-will employment where proving that you were fired for taking advantage of a benefit you were "offered" is all but impossible to prove. I know that I've been in jobs where any time I took time off I had such awful anxiety thinking about how I would lose my job over it I made myself sick to the point of vomiting. Even now that I'm in a better job that fear is still there when I put in a request for PTO (but this has more to do with my severe case of sadbrain than any reflection of reality).

Just got a post of an album which is called "if we were animals..." The front page features a picture of a bunch of pregnant anime girls in a cow milking enclosure with the appropriate apparatus over the appropriate parts. One comment notes "This art style leads me to believe this wasn't originally drawn for the purpose it's being used for right now" The rest of the album is similar and has some  poo poo so I'm not sharing it.VV Forgot to mention it was on my FB and is shared by some vegan lady

If you and your husband have been employed by the same company for more than 1 year, and have worked more than 1250 hours in that year, and the conpany employs more than 50 people in a 75 mile area your leave is qualified under FMLA. Don't let people tell you it's a benefit, if it is under FMLA it your absolute right to take that you can take that leave for an adopted child (or other circumstances). https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/1421.htm Paint Crop Pro fucked around with this message at 20:20 on May 10, 2016 |
