And you must create a Microsoft account

Wow, I had forgotten. Let’s not actually.

Funny story, I have a coworker who wanted a second monitor for her office PC. Now her second monitor is covered with sticky post it notes.

Notepad ++ is better anyway? Non story?

There’s nothing wrong with nonsense or silliness in this context, imo. “Wwhgq” is kinda nonsense, too! I also don’t understand what you mean by “real name,” but whatever works for you!

This program will actually save my family more money than the program shut down by SCOTUS. Our loans were never (and are never) going to be completely forgiven, and that’s fine. We owe collectively ~$90k. This plan is a manageable path to payoff for us, at least.

I still disagree. We were put in a position, as I stated. What we did with that is on us. I didn’t make payments either. We were all hoping for loan forgiveness, but we mostly knew that wasn’t happening. I can say I gambled on that and lost, but I certainly wasn’t forced to.

It’s complicated because, of course it is. There is salary exempt and salary non-exempt. To this day, I do not know which is which I just know that I’m the kind of salaried that doesn’t get overtime pay and I’m sure I never will. Maybe someone smarter than me will chime in.

That’s bs. No one was told to not make payments, just that required payments and interest were on hold. Same with all the idiots that decided the eviction moratorium meant they don’t have to pay rent. Ever.

Yes, I have student loans (30k), too, and had rent payments until a year ago.

I feel your pain, but if you could have paid on your loans, you should have. That’s on you.

Idk, maybe zero, maybe 100. What difference does it make? This is a group of people deciding (right or wrong) that this isn’t something they aren’t going to allow.

My employer got $600,000 in ERC. Meanwhile, I haven’t had a pay increase in over 2 years. Been with the company for over 10 years.

I fired someone in a protected class maybe a year ago. They were, by their own admission incompetent. They were also falsifying their time card. All documented. I’ve done the same with a straight white guy. Is that my prejudice?

Look, I know it happens wrongfully. But don’t accuse me of shit that you have no basis for. It detracts from your whole argument.

Wow. I hope you feel better about yourself. Clearly you need it. I have no interest in continu ing this. You are wrong about me on almost every count but I’m not interested in justifying myself to you. Go back to reddit/Twitter, please.

You’re delusional. Your quote is not remotely what I said. That’s disingenuous, at best. Idgaf what the rest of the thread says. Many people can group together and be wrong; it’s fairly common. Again, I do not own a small business or any other form of business. You are utterly clueless in this conversation. You seem like a troll and will be treated as such.

There doesn’t have to be. I don’t see or treat it that way. Yes, my employer has power over me (I’m not a business owner). As do I over them, to an extent. But it doesn’t have to be an adversarial relationship.

You’re wrong. Employers do have the right to terminate members of a protected class as long as it’s not because they are a protected class.

What? My dad was in law enforcement, kinda. I work in facilities maintenance, not remotely inherited. But whatever you want to tell yourself.

Did you read the part where I was also fired from jobs and it was no big deal? Why wouldn’t I need to fight it? Not everything and everyone is evil bigot sexist racist corporate. Sometimes employees need to be terminated for reasons beyond what exists in your preprogrammed little mind. Protected class terminations is not what we’re discussing here. Take your soap box elsewhere. And have a nice day.

That’s not what “at-will employment” means. It’s an agreement between employer and employer that they agree to employment, and they both have the right to terminate for any or no reason. I have fired employees and been fired myself by employers based on this. Why use “false pretenses " when you don’t have to. “You’re fired.” 'Why?” “Because you are.” End of story.

Or Portland, even.

That’s a nice story, in a way, but not even remotely close to this case.
