[quote]3. If you decided to lay down in the restroom or in your vehicle during a 15 min break because you had a headache and came back 15-30 mins late, would you be docked vacation or sick pay for it?[/quote]
Man, that post was a doozy!
(I’ll concede that she did call it a “restroom.”)
See how it works, CAR?
Honest people can back up their claims.
This thread needs a slogan: Link or you’re a liar![/quote]
Ha!! Just saw this and I’m still knee deep in work due to taking a short turnaround (emergency) job (but haven’t forgotten about Joe and Jane, CAR).
Uhh, harvey (aka “pri_dk, the troll”), I want you to get in your car and drive to 220 West Broadway, San Diego, CA 92101 right now! Park at a meter and walk there and be sure to bring a female with you if at all possible. Visit floors 4, 5, 6, and 7 by turning left off the elevator. I don’t know about the men’s rooms, but ALL the women’s restrooms, both public and employee have (or had) “Rest Rooms” inside them, which are separate rooms with a door. They have (or had) vinyl chaise lounges in them for decades for the sole purpose of “resting” prone in the dark on a break or between hearings, etc. It is possible that some of these rooms are “locked off” today but are nevertheless still in there.
Then make your way over to 1600 Pacific Hwy, San Diego and you can pay a small fortune to park there now (since public parking is now scarce). At both the north and south ends of the building on at least one out of the three floors, the same chaise was STILL in the women’s restrooms the last time I checked (less than a year ago – try north end first flr first). These “Rest Rooms” are situated just as you enter the door to the restrooms and are separate rooms but do not have separate doors like the ones at 220 West Bdwy do. This bldg was originally constructed in 1938.
These (private) “Rest Rooms” (mostly used by female gubment workers) were a godsend in an era where the worker would lose her job if she did not return to work six weeks after giving birth (or ten weeks after having a C-section) and thus had to “save” whatever leave they had on the books until after delivery if at all possible. These “rest rooms” helped greatly for workers in late pregnancy needing to “rest” on their breaks and lunches. Unlike you people, we didn’t have the “FMLA” to fall back on or computers, laptops, ipads and smartphones at our disposal to help us do our jobs while lounging in a private cubicle with flipflops on and our feet up. We had mainframes with CRT terminals (which were frequently down) to use first thing in the morning which would help us locate files but we didn’t even HAVE cubicles (our desks were all pushed together). We had to work on our feet at least 7 hrs per day lifting, rolling carts, climbing ladders while lifting 30-50 lbs and generally running our a$$es off floor to floor, dept to dept and bldg to bldg. Some clerks were even regularly exposed to asbestos!
H@ll yeah, you can bet your a$$ that I EARNED EVERY PENNY of my pension and healthcare allowance, harvey! Jealous any?? NOW, after you perform the above two exercises with your female friend, you can re-report here to the Piggs on your “findings.”
[quote=harvey]She complained once that she got in trouble at work for sleeping on the bathroom floor.[/quote]
NOW, back to your quote. In reference to me, where exactly is it here that you stated I posted the above??
And how is “being docked” (which happened to every employee all the time) the same as “getting into trouble?”
Unlike YOU, harvey, we didn’t get to “telecommute.” If the employee wasn’t at work between 8 am and 5 pm (with the exception of lunch hour), then they were on some kind of leave, period …. end of story. Many, many gubment employees were never able to take a vacation because they were docked here and there out of all their vacation hours for being tardy to work, tardy from lunch hour and leaving early from work … even for very “legitimate” reasons.
LOL, it takes an idiot like “harvey” over two weeks to “substantiate” his “claims” here yet he ca-a-a-a-an’t qui-i-i-te get it right. Nice try, though ….
And, for the record, harvey, I never “made up lies” about your family. YOU KNOW why my post was redacted and that is NOT what happened. You would do well to go back through that thread again and read ALL your posts and then after completing that exercise, look in the mirror and ask yourself a few piercing questions. (As I recall, it was yet ANOTHER thread [out of dozens] where you were going OFF about public employee pensions.)
