This so correct

I knew a man from Nantucket. The stories about him were greatly exaggerated.

Dogs are the best! Especially coming home from a rough day at work,school, Etc.

Keep ALL documents, text, voice mail, email, etc... Contact a lawyer. Many will take your case without any downpayment, collecting a percentage only if you win.

As someone else said. We may be an at-will state, but we do have anti-retaliation and bullying laws. If this harmless question got you harrassed and fired, after 25 years, it could have a case. Even more so if you were not so far away from retirement.

I used to commute Nashua to lynnfied and that was a super easy 40 minute drive!

Yeah in the winter that's pretty typical for the cape haha there are only a handful of places that are actually open till 1am and they tend to be on the dive side unfortunately! The Portside Tavern is open till 1am and isn't really that divey. Food is great definitely try the potatoe skins if you go!

Thanks so much for this! Gannon's seems like our best bet so far, though it closes surprisingly early lol

Be safe!! Got to watch out for each other!! Check out the beach too!!

Ooh nice. Thank you 🙏💕

Seems like it's closed until the spring but thanks so much for the rec! I'll have to check it out when it's a bit warmer out lol.

Would you please explain for people who have never heard of Chicopee until now? Genuinely curious

Gannons is good bar scene with great food lots of locals. Really any place that's open right now is going to be full of locals! A few places on Main Street in Hyannis, 19th hole is a straight dive but everything else is pretty restuaranty.

Downtown bistro is great for a bite and a drink after a conference. Double check what is open this time of year

Its not taxed at 40 percent. You're probably seeing an increased withholding rate. When employers pay out a lump sum like a bonus or vacation payout, payroll treats it like your normal pay and assumes you're making that every pay period, so the withholding amount increases. You've simply overpaid on your taxes and will get that money back in your tax refund.

I live South shore... CRAZY money. I rent.

Check department of labor. Likely no sick pay out. However you may find other recourse via another avenue? 25yrs and dissed like that... That is a hit. Fight back... never know... Research the company see if they have a reputation for being dirty...? Hope you are blessed to recover and get something better.

You don't seem fun. I'm suing for false advertising

Sounds cheesy.

Oh my goodness thanks for the warning!! That is very much appreciated and I will make sure to spread the message.

I am from the local area... wherever you decide to go please cover and or watch your drinks. I don't generally go to bars but there's have been many PSA about drinks being spiked. Enjoy, be safe.

They don’t pay unused sick time.

They tax unused vacation time at 40%.

Use as much sick time as you need and take your vacation time.

I thought mass had an anti workplace bullying law. I would contact an employment law attorney and see if you have a case for wrongful termination. Ma is pretty employee friendly state for employment rights.

You can probably sue the shit out of them for that

Unfortunately the dylithiam chrystals are unreliable so expect delays when using the tunnel.

No you do not get sick time paid out. Only vacation time.
