Alobar posted:Thanks for the insight. I sometimes tell my friends who don't live here (most live in Virginia) that San Francisco isn't some sort of liberal hippie town. Some people here still try to sell me on the "oh man, 10 years ago, before the techies came, it was *so* much better," and I'm like, gently caress that, this doesn't happen over the course of 5 years. This is deeply ingrained inequality, segregation, and economic exploitation. I've had to turn down jobs at michelin star restaurants because they don't pay me enough, and one of them is literally 3 blocks away from me. That's soul crushing. I spent three years cooking in SF and it broke me in such a huge way. I had line cooks traveling an hour to a job that for 16$ an hour at top-tier places where the experience is meant to be a form of compensation. I worked at a place off of Maiden Lane and got to walk past homeless folks sleeping in the vestibule of the Gucci store. I finally got my limit when one of the Barons of Telegraph Hill funded a ballot measure to make rough sleeping illegal and authorization of breaking down the few meager possessions the people on the street have; also taking their companion animals. SF is a garbage place for garbage people. I do miss the Ferry Building Farmers market though; the stonefruit was loving incredible.

I feel like that's more than "other duties as required" and at-will probably wouldn't cover that even in corporate-owned hellworld.

With at-will employment you can get fired for no stated reason and good luck proving this dumb liver thing was the "real" reason behind you getting fired and not "they don't like your face" or "you came in a minute late once"

Civil cases are preponderance of evidence, meaning more likely than not rather than beyond reasonable doubt. If multiple people are getting fired after refusing to get tested (or refusing to donate) after a mandated medical test like that (already questionable legally since liver compatibility has nothing to do with work) the evidence is pretty heavily on their side. It's just like how they could fire every black person supposedly for being late one minute, but as soon as it goes in front of a judge it's going to be pretty obvious what actually happened.

Googling that case also turned up this: quote:This employer is violating the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). The ADA’s purpose is broader than just protecting individuals with disabilities from unlawful discrimination and requiring employers to offer individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodations to perform the essential functions of their jobs. The ADA also prohibits employers from requiring employees to submit to medical examinations and medical inquiries, unless those medical examinations and medical inquiries are job-related and consistent with business necessity.

Well I mean there was that case where a first-grader was shoved in a broom closet for not participating in the "voluntary" bible study and the court dismissed the case for failure to state a claim, but the appeal resulted in the higher court sending it back to the initial court with the equivalent of "F, please see notes and correct your work." The problem is that relies on having the money to maintain a lawsuit.

necroid posted:this might be a really stupid question but what are you supposed to do after you've donated your liver to someone else? can you live without one? Hey I wanted to chime in here as I work as a biostatistician at a major transplant center. The liver is the only "solid" organ that gets transplanted (kidney/liver/pancreas/heart/lung) that can regenerate. So yes you can get a whole liver, but you can also get a part of one from a living donor (I believe it's one or two lobes). You also have deceased donors who sometimes give part of their liver to two different people, but that's pretty rare. http://columbiasurgery.org/liver/living-donor-liver-transplantation-faqs As for siblings being good matches, it depends on blood type (ABO compatibility). Identical twins of course will always match, and this was the first ever kidney transplant done by James Medewar. This was mainly done because there was no immunosuppression at the time, but being identical twins it wasn't needed. Sometimes if you have two relatives that are not compatible, there will be a paired exchange: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/transplant/programs/kidney/incompatible/paired_kidney_exchange.html Back to livers, one interesting thing to note is that deceased donors are much more common in the US, but in East Asia, it's quite the opposite, presumably due to cultural or religious reasons. It is considered your duty to donate to another family member, however many people there have objections to having their organs removed after death. South Korea has one medical center called Asan which is their only transplant center, and they have a huge volume of LD transplants. Also liver disease is quite a bit more common there, specifically hepatitis. actionjackson has issued a correction as of 20:54 on Feb 11, 2019 |
