Note that your image already included ‘https’ so don’t double up when the image icon prompts you with ‘http’.

Re: Equal pay - 11 months ago
QuoteTiangou QuotePam I hear this women don’t ask for raises like men with no context to back it up... The people manning the check-in desk at my last employer included a mix of men and women. One day they decided to compare salaries and all of the men were paid more than the women. The guys went to our boss collectively on behalf of the women. The boss was embarrassed.

QuoteTiangou QuoteRacer X Quotegraylocks QuotePam Who can afford a lawyer? Not worth the effort for most. it's the National Labor Relations Board who goes after them. You simply report it and start a case. most businesses gamble that you are ignorant, or too timid to step up and say anything. That tactic almost always works too.

QuoteSpeedy Quotegraylocks QuotePam Some employers have clauses that make pay discussion a fireable offense for that reason. It's actually illegal under the National Labor Relations Act for most businesses to make pay discussions a fireable offense. It's a labor law that goes back many decades.

Re: Equal pay - 11 months ago
Quotemrbigstuff the discrepancy among the sexes is most common at the low end of the scale. it's pretty rampant, and usually among immigrant communities, who often don't speak up about the unfairness of it all. I'm thinking of fast food, hotel work, cleaning, and other service jobs. Heh. Nope. It’s common across the pay range and while immigrants may be more hesitant it occurs across the specby Pam - Tips and Deals

Re: Let's talk lawn maintenance - 12 months ago
Chemicals are so horribly bad. I would only use very sparingly. Grass cannot grow and survive heat and drought without water. If you’re not willing to regularly water then everything else is pointless. If you are willing then start seeding with a spreader. For bare spaces you can buy a Scott’s product especially for bare spots. It’s pricey but great for small areas. Otherwise you’ll needby Pam - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Re: escaping from a dogfight - 1 year ago
Always assume any dog off leash is a danger. Never do a meet and greet off leash. Especially when the owner is not around. My dog is too big to pick up so I put my stop hand up and yell stop. This has worked so far. I also carry pepper gel and a collapsible baton. I would have called animal control and reported the incident. Not only was your dog attacked but you were also bitten.

I recently lost my last kitty. A month before her 19th birthday. She was diagnosed with early stage kidney failure 3 years prior. We immediately tried the vet formula wet food.

I also bought a water fountain and had bowls of water in several locations. Fortunately sheby Pam - Tips and Deals
