I was fired when new owners told me to to dump hazmats down the drain and I refused, or possibly for refusing to ship hazmat as if it were safe. Or maybe it was over my refusing to ship a bleach product overnight by air because it expands at low pressure and would leak - and when he shipped it himself because I refused, and I saw him staring at returned cases leaking on our shipping dock, I danced around pointing at him and singing "I told ya so! I told ya so! Nonny-Nonny Boo-Boo!"

I was there for 30 years and didn't last 1 year with those corporate dweebs who think the law and regulations are just suggestions.

No, I couldn't prove any of this or I'd have sued!

My children had chickenpox so they were not allowed in nursery or school for a 7-10 days per child (no vaccination programme at the time). My husband was out of the country and nobody else on hand to care for them.

Manager insisted that I rang in every morning to say I couldn't come back to work because surprise surprise they still had chickenpox. I was sacked afterwards for not filling in an absence form quickly enough....

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!

Mom of two here (21 month old and 5 month old) who is starting to consider having a third. I am in my late 30’s and my doctor just recommended I start trying at 6 months postpartum. I am thinking I want to start closer to 8-10 months postpartum but have no idea what to expect with a third. Is anyone in a similar situation? Moms or Dads of two, do you ever look back and wish you had tried for three? Moms or Dads of three, how was the transition from two to three and how much did life change?
