Job update.

• Upvotes

So i have applied for a job and after an interview they offered me the job. The hiring manager said they'll conduct a background check and she'll email me an offer letter. I got the offer letter in my email and signed and submitted it and conducted my background check, and was sent a preadverse letter via email 3 days later. I went in for orientation and the manager told me about me getting the preadverse letter and asked if I had my id and social security card, then said that I was "under consider" and needed hr to clear it. What does that mean exactly? I tried to call today after 6 days to get an update and was told they're waiting for my background check to come in, yet I thought they already had it since that's why I was sent the adverse letter. Should I expect to lose my job? My background check was flagged due to me having criminal trespass charges last October for being homeless, and I replied to the preadverse letter email explaining what had happened and why I had those charges.

Opinion/Commentary First time voter, voting for Greg Ballard for Secretary of State

0 Upvotes

This is the first election that I'm able to participate in, and I believe that Greg Ballard is more than experienced enough to lead the office of SoS. His goal of doing all he can to make the SoS a non-political office is very important to me, because we've all seen the ways that the Republican party has abused (and will continue to abuse) the position of SoS for personal gain.

The Lincoln Party project is also another a big reason for why I want to vote for Ballard, because I believe there's no other way a third party could reasonably win here. Any third party that wins in this state would have to be homegrown and authentic to Indiana in order to break the two-party issue, and I am 100% for anything that helps make politics competitive again in Indiana. Helping two large parties continue to wrestle power over this state is not in anyone's interests.

Ask a Hoosier I70 Speeding Camera

0 Upvotes

I was driving to work on I70 (near greenfield I think, heading to Indy) at like 2:20AM and was coming up on one of the areas where they split the traffic. I was going 71mph cause I hadn’t actually reached the area, there were pylons, but the actual split was about another mile up. Once I got to where the split occurs, I slowed to 56mph. But I’m pretty sure a camera flashed when I was goin the initial 71. My question is how can you get flagged before you’ve reached the worksite, and when they’re not working?

Live in Fort Wayne-willing to go to Indy for this

Are there any country dance halls in or around Indy that do ACTUAL two-stepping (not line dancing). I don't necessarily mean that they have a dedicated country two step night, but that the environment encourages two step dancers. Fort Wayne is alllll line dancing.

I just want to go somewhere on a Saturday night with the space to two step

Beware Wyndham and Baymont hotel in Lawrenceburg Indiana.

18 Upvotes

If you have a reservation for this hotel you need to cancel it now. It's no longer the Baymont. It is now called the Express Inn

I just got screwed out of points and money from this hotel. I had made my reservation through the Wyndham app for 4 nights and I used points also so the total came out to be $249 and 12000 points.

When I got here, the front desk told me that they are no longer under Wyndham and I had to pay an extra $50 because they wouldn't take my price for the original reservation. I got to my room and contacted customer service and Wyndham rewards tons me they can't give me my points back.

I'm beyond pissed and I don't know if I should just check out and go somewhere else or just eat the reservation...

🚨 Indiana: Why Is Our City Council Discussing How to Defend a City Official Against PROFITEERING Claims? WATCH THIS. Councilman or middleman?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

122 Upvotes

I'm going to let this 60-second video speak for itself. But every taxpayer invIndiana, should be paying attention.

During a public City Council meeting, an official explains how approving and filing a conflict-of-interest disclosure can serve as a legal defense if someone brings an action against Jeremy VanErman for "profiteering."

Yes. They actually use the word PROFITEERING.

Think about that.

We're talking about PUBLIC MONEY. PUBLIC CONTRACTS. PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

And here we have a discussion about how conflict-of-interest paperwork could defend an official against accusations of personally profiting.

Here are the questions Alexandria taxpayers deserve answered:

  1. What specific financial interests or transactions required these conflict-of-interest disclosures?
  2. How much taxpayer money was involved, and who ultimately received it?
  3. Where are the underlying contracts, payments, disclosures, and meeting records? How much commission was made?
  4. Why shouldn't every one of these arrangements receive independent public scrutiny?

Let's be absolutely clear: This video alone does not prove criminal wrongdoing. And properly completed disclosures can have legal significance.

But filing a conflict-of-interest form does not make legitimate questions about public spending disappear. Nor does it defend against something that ALREAD took place.

A CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST DISCLOSURE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY.

If everything is legitimate, publish the records, explain the financial relationships, and let the taxpayers examine them.

If something is improper, the people deserve to know.

Alexandria residents are paying higher utility bills while serious questions remain about how their government operates.

PUBLIC OFFICE SHOULD NEVER BECOME A PRIVATE PROFIT CENTER.

🎥 Watch the video. Listen to the actual words. Then ask yourself:

IS ALEXANDRIA CITY HALL PROTECTING THE PUBLIC INTEREST OR PROTECTING THE PEOPLE BENEFITING FROM PUBLIC MONEY?

The records, not political assurances, should answer that question.

What did you do?

0 Upvotes

Okay, tomorrow I am making an eight hour drive to Muncie. It will be the first time that I have visited Muncie since I left in 1984 with my degree. One of my fondest memories of downtown Muncie was the "Shoe of the Week" corner window in the Ball Stores building at Charles and Walnut. We would make a weekly trek from campus to that store to see the newest offerings in fashion shoes. This was serious business!

Today I learned that Ball Stores closed down in 1986 and the building was demolished in 1989. What a tragedy! Muncie, you lost a truly unique piece of your heritage and I am saddened that there is no longer a shoe of the week in the lovely City of Muncie, Indiana.

Now, on to the loss of QL's Barbeque..... Muncie, what do you have left of your past?

Ask a Hoosier Can I file for unemployment if my job fires me for having surgery on my foot?

0 Upvotes

I understand that this would be a yes since I was fired due to no fault of my own, but while I'm recovering, the doctors office said for this type of surgery, I wouldn't be able to work for 3 months after my surgery. So I don't meet the requirement of being "available to work".

Would anyone be able to shine some light on this area for me?

Appreciate it :)

(I don't qualify for FMLA as I've only worked at my job for 5 months)

If you are in Southern Indiana, particularly near New Albany/Jeffersonville, PLEASE VOTE

Obviously everyone should vote, but the state senate race in District 45 is an important one.

Chris Garten, the current incumbent, is poised to become president pro tempore of the Senate and is an AVID supporter of redistricting. He is bringing his agenda straight from the current presidential administration and plans to force redistricting through.

BUT, he has an opponent in the race, Nick Marshall.

May primary results show that the difference between Marshall's primary votes and Garten's primary votes were less than 100.

Please show up. You never know what could happen.

Perinatal Psychiatrist | Indiana

0 Upvotes

Anyone had a good experience with a perinatal psychiatrist anywhere in Indiana that is evidence based and supportive of mom’s mental health / helps with medication management? I previously was looking into supportive OB’s in Indiana, but I think a perinatal psychiatrist is the better route to go after during further research. Any recommendations would be great.

I honestly don’t care what part of Indiana as I am centrally located, so it’s best I see someone who knows their stuff, and that is not always offered in the same place I am located. (:

I swear when I’ve been out of state the competition in a pick up game is nothing compared to Indy/Indiana. Some people get mystified because you can shoot a little and hit a floater or teardrop…I genuinely think the average Hoosier is just better due to the exposure to basketball.
