few months ago I realized I wasn't getting my correct rate in my new role, and rarely getting my nightshift differentials. This had been going on since I switched roles. There was a huge back and forth with my manager while we went back and tried t to figure out places where i'd missed differentials, not gotten the right hours, blah blah blah. Huge accounting kerfuffle apparently happens.

Please please review your pay stubs regularly, the amount of people that were supposed to get a raise in 2018 but never did and didn’t notice until three raises later in 2022 or were supposed to have shift differential for years but never got paid for it is absurd. Then we get the cases and guess who gets to review three years of pay to find out how much we owe :(


Also yeah HR is dumb as rocks and does that poo poo all the time, and guess who else gets to send the “hey so you were overpaid $6,000 and we need it back” notifications to predictable results :( :(

Got my 19 VW golf alltrack (manual wagon bc im a goon) post covid but before the auto market went nuts and I could get like 3k more for it after three years and ~17k miles put on it. Wild, thanks for reminding me to do that idle curiosity check, always get a kick out of it.

NOOO I wanted an AllTrac but there weren’t any, so my stupid manual TDI Sportwagen is only FWD. Still a great car tho, just no fun to drive

left my original hospital role in october 2022. Was never actually taken out of the system. officially started a new part time role at the hospital starting december 3rd 2022. I got a couple paychecks in between, but figured those were late paychecks, pto cashouts etc. Plus I do not look very closely at income. Was switching jobs, very busy, lots going on etc.

Last Thursday I got an email saying my pay rate discrepancy had been resolved retroactive to october, and on payday the following day I got what was essentially the difference in pay rate x hours worked. Big ol check. Very happy. Good things. Great company.

Call today from HR saying they sent that amount out on accident, they needed to take it back or I could write them a check for it, and also I owe them 8k from the job transition when they were OVERPAYING me, per their books. And I owe them that.

so yeah. company just told me I owe them 8k and uh...well, we're going to figure this out moving forward but they're going to "work with me."

7 year employee. Thank you HCA.

Hire an employment lawyer, figure out how to sue them for something else and watch that demand go away.

Ha I’m sorry, not gonna lie, it’s an absolutely fantastic car, plus one of the more common complaints of the alltrack was ‘wish it had a bit more power’ and that’s one of the only, main differences between the sportwagen, plus awd, and welp. At least you’re happy with everything else! And a manual helps with fun to drive!!

My air fryer is shot and I wanted a bigger one anyway. I found one that’s also a toaster oven. So it’ll replace two things on my counter freeing up some space. My air fryer died a couple weeks ago so good timing

Since the new Wonka movie is directed by the same one that did Paddington I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

As for Ashoka, my Star Wars nerd friends have been bugging me to watch Rebels. i guess I should binge it.

Rebels is a pretty big comedown from Clone Wars, IMO. Substantially uglier, cheaper, and kiddier. I mean, it's fine to have Star Wars for kids, but a lot of it is pretty dull. It's telling that most of the scattered bright spots are when it ties directly back to Clone Wars.

Yeah, the motion capture didn't have anywhere near enough points of articulation, especially on the faces, so moving was slightly weird in a high budget way, but it was like all the characters were wearing a mask of a human's face and very unnerving when they were talking.

Also I went to see it with like 8 other guys from my programming group in college. So much excitement into tepid disappointment.
