OT - I'm bored, Part 2!

I have to go back to the Hospital tomorrow morning for another weekly checkup, so I am going to make sure I bring it up to him.

The only thing I can do that makes it feel slightly better, is if I apply pressure on it with my fingers. I look like an ass however, but it's a good thing I've had plenty of practice in that area.

Yeah I have plenty experience making an ass of myself to fortunately ive never really cared what others think atleast you know how to laugh at yourself to.If thats making it feel better I would go with it as long as its not doing any damage.and definately bring it up with the surgeon.Its probably just from healing but you should always play it safe you still on pain meds

 

[IPostedWhat]

you still on pain meds

Unfortuantly the pain meds have no effect on it.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

If your worried about work giving you a hard time due to your illness or recovery look into the family medical leave act I believe it is supposed to protect you even if you have returned to work.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Only thing that sucks is you have to ask your work for the paperwork and know how to work the grey areas

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I wouldnt think you would have to go that far I really would think they should understand your doing a hell of a job toughing it out for the situation your in

I'm not really worried about work that much, I'm just bummed because I have blown my chance for a high rating in a couple of categories that my raise is based on.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

what do you do anyway we didnt have performance bonusses we were union all our raises were based on our contract

 

[TheRobotDevil]

sorry probably not my buisness but if your work quality is anything like you do on hear I couldnt see there being any way you wouldnt have the highest rating there

 

[IPostedWhat]

I have 10 categories that they evaluate my work and then give it a value between 1-4.

The numbers are added up to then give a % that is then matched up on a chart that tells you what your raise will be based on your salary. So if I got 3%, then my raise is 3% of my current salary for next year.

They call it a cost of living increase, but they don't have to do it is what they say.

I'm good on the actual work realated areas, it's just the fringe categories that mess me up.

If I punch in just 1 minute late, I am tardy. 6 tardies in a year is a 1 for that category. I was tardy 23 times last year.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

3% isnt much with the cost of living in new york state dont know how it is up around buffalo but dutchess county is rough.And having so many people come up here from NYC its only gotten worse

we had the same thing dont know about you but we had to scan a finger to punch in and 3 tardies was a letter

 

[IPostedWhat]

3% is a joke for sure, but it's better than 0%.

They list a min and max salary for the position I have at my work, but it would take me 60 years or so just to reach the max because they don't give out raises.

Did the finger have to be attached in order to work?

probably not I do know when I caught my finger with a hammer the one day I couldnt punch in for like a month

None of the other 9 would work in its place?

I'm sure that is a detail you would hammer out with your boss about?

 

[TheRobotDevil]
