Maybe?

It's such a nothing statement that I don't think it will satisfy either side. If you are on the left then you're mad that they didn't double down. If you're on the right then you're made that they didn't fully backtrack.

Also Rick Scott never faced consequences for systematic Medicare fraud. They’re all loving crooks and never face consequences ever. Ken Paxton is the AG of Texas and hasn’t he been under indictment for like a loving decade?

Jindal did the same cut back on all the taxes as Kansas did and it blew up so spectacularly that JBE had to do some crazy tax shenanigans to balance the budget. It's legit impressive he's done it while still having the GOP congress screaming more tax cuts

The house has agreed to fund assigment pay for our agency but not the senate. It's not even for everyone going in to the field like it should be, just agree to fund it. We're also doing a time intensive time and work load study that's just going to come back and say "drat, you are understaffed and underpaid" but this is how government employment goes. I might also be crabby because I had a field worker, someone who's supposed be a loving trainer for new staff and one step below a supervisor, get super rude about deadlines that they absolutely have to know for court.

I remember the days I spent removing tiles with a mallet and a crow bar / chisel. Duck walking all day was an interesting workout, day 2 was not fun. At least it wasn't as bad for me because I got that slav squat gene.

God don’t get me started about Jindal. Most if not all state employees hate him, and he is not beloved in the state for basically skipping out on us and doing jack poo poo while running for the presidency in his second term. He theoretically could be re-elected governor since JBE is term-limited. There are about five major Republicans running for governor, and he is nowhere near to be found.

In fact, one of the candidates is the head of a major business and industry organization, and while he seems reasonable compared to his other Republican cohorts, he’s going to get tarred and feathered with the brush that he was Jindal’s chief of staff. Sadly the crazy batshit AG will probably make the runoff instead.

One story that I may have told before, right around 2012 or so, the state IT had a conference where we would all get together for a couple of days. His mom is high up as an employee of the state. One day they brought in taped remarks of him praising IT and as soon as he started, the boos rained down heavily during the video while his mom was sitting directly in the front row of the conference.

He was not liked.

There's some alternate dimension where Trump became the host of some Daily Show type program instead of running for office and it's hilarious.

Back to jobs, I don't mind my job at all, but this new leave policy is really pissing me off. Like I said before, we are going to be required to have 40 hours of leave banked at all times and we're not allowed to use it. Ever. So they're holding my leave that I earned hostage. I just don't see how that can be legal.

I had to cancel our Universal trip because I won't have enough leave banked for it and that's a real bummer.

I missed this earlier, but what exactly is their justification for this? It seems really shady.

Leave is part of your compensation. Do they at least pay it out when you leave?

I love my job despite the trauma, under payment, and shitholery it can definitely be. It also sucks sometimes and is still a job, even if I do see it as more than that sometimes and find fullfillment in it. Honestly EmbryoSteve has it pretty close to how I feel. Social work is loving hard.

Also I'm making spam and eggs to have with ricr and kimchi since I'm in a weird mood and it's a comfort food meal for me. Might even do some spam sandwiches, which my tell for being raised by my grandparents.

Yeah, they'll pay me for it if I quit or retire but until then it just has to sit there. As for their justification, I have no idea. They just told us this is the policy beginning May 1. I'm a state govt employee so I'm calling the civil service department on Monday during my lunch break to ask them if this is legal or not.
