Okay so they will just raise it 50% per year like UGI, PPL and all of my utilities.

I think you were in Ohio where there are $3 tolls. We don’t have them, you would have remembered paying $40.

This is becoming a thing. Penn Dot is being sued for leaving a street dug up and it killed a motorcyclist despite many complaints and accidents already. I live outside of Philly and they leave roadwork incomplete for months at a time, and UGI digs up the street over and over again whenever they would like instead of doing any real repairs. They put up signs for no parking the whole week and they may or may not even appear. It’s way out of control and there is no care for the human beings interacting with their projects.

Can I just stay at work and know more than you?

You do realize that showing up at the border is a totally legal way to come into this country?

Some of the “affordable housing projects” the housing finance agency is granting money to is shockingly unaffordable. I guess anyone building $1200 1bdr apartments can get free money from programs meant to house the poor.

All the plastic is bad for the environment too. I wish they would do anything else.

After I watched my rep go on tv and try to say my mail in ballot was "illegal" last election, I made sure to show up in person to vote against him.

Yeah he got a whole degree based on making wild accusations.

You literally pay for the insurance, why would you not collect when you meet the guidelines. You can obviously do BOTH but let’s not pretend every career hires the next day. There is no pride to be gained by being financially irresponsible and not collecting on what you paid for.

I was salary at $35kish when I left, hired back hourly at $15. We had amazing health insurance, it was a HMO and I paid about $9 per pay period.

I work in IT and have been misclassified as a contractor on most jobs that I’ve had in PA. They not only require a set schedule just like an employee, they offer no leave, no health insurance and fire you over the most petty things. I literally lost a contacted job because I used the bathroom longer than allowed, because I had to work with a stomach bug, because I had no leave or medical insurance…

The crazy part is I used to have that exact job, as an employee before I left work for a few years to have kids. Great benefits and everything. I came back, offered the exact same role, same hours, now a contractor with zero benefits and an even stricter system of monitoring bathroom breaks. They heavily imply you will be made an employee again, but you will not.

It’s so demeaning as a human to have all of that taken away. To be tossed aside like garbage because you are a human being. Same place gave me a pamphlet and a talk about how you are never allowed to speak about unionizing and how you have to report union talk to a hotline.

These businesses not only get away with it, they thrive. They are well respected businesses in our community. I’ll call out my bullshit employer and tell you Ahold.. the corporate center and owner of Giant grocery stores exploits their employees. They are misclassifying people to this day and I know this because their stupid recruiters have contacted me about applying for the role repeatedly.
