    I think I was threatened at work today

    @diamondoutofdust Keep track of the favoritism because that works to your benefit in a litigation. Not following a clear policy and treating each employee differently looks bad for your employer. The fact that you said they let one employee go home to pump while being this shitty to you makes a...

    I think I was threatened at work today

    @diamondoutofdust You may want to consider contacting your state EEOC and filing a complaint for discrimination since the Pump Act falls under their purview. But an employment lawyer can help you write a good letter to them too. Actually, you should at least have a consult with an employment...

    Anyone else want to go back to 1992 when every single grade didn’t have a “graduation” ceremony?

    @kgramm I also had a pre-k graduation in 1983. We made construction paper caps (no gowns) and our picture was in the local paper (city of about 30k).

    My kid called me fat

    @rakicko My mom was really good about not making negative comments about her body but she was basically one of the only women I knew growing up who didn’t. Maybe she did when I wasn’t around but I appreciate that she chose not to in front of me. Personally, hearing relatives, family friends...

    My kid called me fat

    @solidengr My five year old says similar things from time to time except she lovingly refers to my “squishy belly” as the best pillow lol! I am not happy with the state of my body since having kids but I try really hard to have a neutral reaction to the body comments. For me it’s a chance to...

    I think I was threatened at work today

    @rebecca25 Employers can still be in legal hot water even if they fire the offending employee because OP should never have experienced this situation in the first place. Any sort of managing staff should be trained on what’s appropriate or inappropriate and so that still falls on the employer...

    Would you send your kid to daycare tomorrow?

    @katrina2017 Most people’s (including adults) temps go up in the afternoon. And supposedly the 98.6 “normal” temp is based on very bad data from over 100 years ago. Anyway, my daycare preschool, and pediatrician doesn’t consider it a fever unless it hits 101.1. Everything under is not a fever...

    @duke845 4: 💯 It’s hard having judgemental, misogynistic people in your life word vomiting on you but FUCK THAT NOISE.

    @acult This happened to us because the friends who told us to do that are super type A (eg they got a tutor for their preschooler so that they could get into the “right” kindergarten) so we didn’t take them seriously. We ended up licking out into an awesome place BUT it is very, very expensive...

    @andujartyler I really liked him and his work until the sexual harassment all came out and I felt so betrayed! Even went to a stand up show and loved it. Now I just think “Ugh! Why are you so insightful Louis but also such a dirtbag?!”

    @andujartyler It’s a good quote (even though I no longer like the sexual harasser).

    @duke845 How can I manage it all? You can’t. Pick your battles, throw money at some of the problems if it’s in your budget but most of all divide up the tasks with your partner. It’s never going to be 50/50 100% of the time but don’t carry the whole load yourself. And if you are, losing the...

    Work call 9:00 pm it’s Friday night

    @whisper123 I’d let them leave a message and see what they say in the message. I’d call back if it was an emergency but otherwise I would ignore it until Monday. ETA: my husband would answer a work call but that’s why he’s paid a very generous salary: to be available 24/7.
