Just got a call, doing a LOT of what I currently do, on a possibly better schedule, for more money per hour. AND they will send me equipment.

Dear gods, I hope.

So stupid case reviews for other department - I'm told if the person was not called back for the reason listed in column G, after the date I was to look for, they were not assisted, and not getting the help with their long term care they need.

Some other bitch working the same day, took it to mean "Oh, well, they called her back after such and such a date, so she was helped."

Uh no. We're supposed to find out if they were ASSISTED by someone from that department, for XYZ reason. Telling them that their evaluation expired, does not cover them getting an appointment for another eval.

(I also resent this bitch. For reasons) So I called my boss, and asked him for clarification, told her I did, and she's still trying to argue with me.

Bitch, there is a mute function on Teams chat for a reason.

When things are way out of whack, and staff sifts things together to layer up and try to rope it all back in.

@greenflashlight Recover soon!

@derp He hasn't gotten like that, yet. But now he's stopped responding soooo I might be SOL any way you look at it.

Of course, I've been messaging back and forth all afternoon with a guy who wants to sell a sort of soap I can make. Man doesn't understand a thing about soap-making, though, so I am having to explain a LOT of things. Patience is a virtue I am trying to manifest so hard right now.

I was just talking to my co-worker on the phone, and mentioned all the input you guys have given.
He is so on that train. He's sick of them piling work on us, and we've gotten NOTHING to help us. Not even the offer of a second monitor, like we have in office, because they think it's necessary.

@ganymede Sadly, they're smart enough to avoid putting bullshit in writing. I didn't get my promotion I should have this summer because of my 'talking to' In January - which was about my ADHD. They didn't put anything but 'talked to Macha about how she's handling WFH and productivity concerns.' Nothing like what ACTUALLY happened, or what their 'concerns' were.

@Ganymede - Is there someone I could appeal to, on that? I know you're not an expert (Unless you are, no offense meant) But I'm not sure who I would talk to about being reimbursed for shit. I'm so over all this BS.

@Cobalt Well, I'm WFH, and the HQ is 4 hours away soooo let's not on the arson

But I did just get told that I am getting training on Thursday to do more of this bullshit project they've got me reviewing cases for. Because they can't keep people. And I have no idea how they think they're going to train me, when I've got so much work - even my boss is crying he has to help with ONE of the projects I'm dealing with. At least he was trained on it first. jackass.

Today my boss made fun of my ADHD, and my usual ability to multitask like a mofo. I was on hold for the stupid medical accommodation team, when he dropped still more work on me. And it all has to be done ASAP.

So I straight up asked him. "What order would you like me to prioritize this?"

"What, can't you just do all three things at once? You just told me the other day you could talk to me and review cases." ... yeah, because talking to you doesn't require SOFTWARE USE, dipshit. All I really want to tell him is "You know what would help? Have them send me a second monitor. Double my productivity."

But, I can't. So I won't. So I do shit at my own pace, and didn't work myself into that adrenaline-fueled afternoon of needing to hyperfocus. He likes to bitch about that, too, so... yeah. He can suck it.

@ganymede It was in the office, I was there for 6 weeks before the county office building shut it all down (I work for a company contracted by the state dept of health, to help with the county Medicaid enrollees).

I have been WFH ever since. Had to replace the laptop, upgrade the internet so roommate and I could both WFH. Had to change up my cellphone plan, because former roommates were 'worried' I'd use all the data ( I make calls, nothing else for work, but.. whatever). They sent me a cheap ass headset that's less comfortable than the 10 buck bluetooth one I bought from five below.

But I now need to beg my PCP to fill out THEIR accommodation form, because her letter didn't 'give enough detail'. And they SOMEHOW have no record of my medical conditions, though I gave my supervisor a medical accommodation letter for Fibro and my Ankylosing back when I fucking started.

ETA: So they recently dumped thousands of cases on me to review for a dept I have no training with. And told me to prioritize that, over my actual job. Now I'm being told I have to do the three attempts on the 10 days (Meaning I have ten days to enroll them in their choice of managed care plan, or they get auto assigned, and that looks bad for us.), do the cases dumped on me, AND do another project. So I straight up asked my boss: What order do you want me to do them in? (Because I am sick of working my ass off, and then being yelled at for not doing enough of X while clearing Y off my plate)

@ganymede They don't want to provide me with anything other than this super cheap headset. I'm still trying to figure out if I /can/ wear something different, or not (A straight answer is clearly impossible).

Someone here was actually kind enough to help me get a headset I can wear, even if part of me really just wants to kick work in the nuts, and make them provide me one - after I had to pay more to upgrade my internet, and replace my old laptop because they didn't furnish anything when we went to WFH. My supervisor sure got a new laptop though, and a new Iphone.

So I had to PTO some time this morning, because my Glucose monitor kept screaming at me in the middle of the night that my sugars were so low I was going to dieeeeeeee. My ol' finger stick monitor was like "Nah, dude, you're fine."

Add in incredible pain I don't know where it came from, and yeah, I needed some extra sleep.

I logged in, and they're denying my Medical Accommodation request, despite the letter saying I should be allowed to wear a gaming headset as it is what is comfortable for me, from my PCP. Why? because she didn't specifically mention the fibromyalgia, because they already KNOW I HAVE IT from medical accommodation letters I gave my supervisor back when I first started working there.

I want to cry. I want to quit.

@too-old-for-this I want to try their new dip stuff.
And I admit, their thin crust let me eat pizza as a diabetic.

@derp Huh. Mine too. He had a little vomit moment earlier, but he seems okay now.

@cobalt I worked for Papa John's and Domino's. DEF. Agree. Papa John's was shady about the way they handled payroll. Dom's paid better, as a whole.

One didn't allow the 5'4" female delivery driver to carry pepper spray on her keychain until she was attacked. The other one never even batted an eye.

@silverfox Thank you for always sharing. I love kittens, but.. allergies.

@faraday Oh no, I always disclose on the check box thing that I have a disability. If they ask before I'm hired, I tell them I'm a diabetic. I am, and it's part of the ADA. They don't think it's a big thing.

I tell them AFTER about the other ones.

@faraday Because Companies say they will, but they DO NOT want to provide reasonable accommodations.

@ganymede I don't go for RR, but I know it's easy 35+ bucks for the roommate and I to order Thai.
