Just a word of experience-based warning: if that coworker is motivated enough to retaliate, they will. Watch your car closely. (I saw an enraged, fired employee cut the brake lines on the car of their ‘reporter’. I called police, notified car owner & saved a life. People do dumb shit when caught.)

HD is one of TWO hardware-type stores where I live. The other one is a much smaller company that contracts with Ace Hardware. Whatever goods I cannot get at that AH store will just be skipped (or I’ll drive the 2hrs each way to a larger Ace.) F*ck Home Depot!

The only explanation is that the Tech Overlords immediately granted the wishes of the Regime. Disgusting.

Even if a senate vote does happen (and it passes,) the House would need to take up the new ACA-subsidy bill and also pass it. Snowball’s chance in hell that both of those things can or will happen. I’m furious.

Yes, it’s a reasonable reaction. You are not wrong to see it as a red flag of major proportions. Keep yourself as safe as possible while you navigate this issue. (100% behind you if you end up searching for a different job.) Life is too hard by its self to put up with that abuse.

Same!

He’s re-docking, like my Roomba, and with less emotion than the Roomba. JFC

Do not cave! Hold the line on the shut down until SNAP and ACA Subsidies are restored in full!!!

Yes for me. For years, I had one but rarely turned it on. Then I had overwhelming anxiety about a real-world danger situation & TV helped me become distracted enough to stop the panic. And now, I generally need it to drown out the barking dogs, so Romeo can actually sleep without constant “alert”.

What cookie? I don’t see a cookie, so I cannot comment on that.

Romeo votes for fase #1 (specifically about the raccoon wars happening in our yard & neighboring trees.)
