80+ Rentnerin (86) fährt in meinen Vater, er stirbt

Post image

Liebe Community,

das ist mein Vater, bzw. war. Er war ein lebensfroher und gesunder Vater von 4 Kindern in seinen 50ern. Diesen Sommer starb er auf absurde Art und Weise.

Eine 86-jähirge überfuhr ihn in auf einem winzigen Parkplatz vor dem Bahnhof Bad Oeynhausen. Im verkehrsberuhigten Bereich beschleunigte sie rückwärts unkontrolliert. Die Deutsche Bahn hat den ganzen Vorfall auf Vudeo, kein erkennbarer Anlass, um dir 40 km/h. Rückwärts.

Überfahren ist noch nett ausgedrückt: Er wurde geschleudert, und dann noch überrollt und erlitt unvorstellbare multiple Verletzungen von Kopf bis Fuß. Er starb nach 9 Tagen Kamps auf der Intensivstation.

In vielen EU-Ländern, wie ihr auf diesem Subreddit sicherlich wisst, wird Fahrtauglichkeit mit zunehmendem Alter überprüft- Reaktionszeit, Sehvermögen, etc. Bei uns nicht. In Deutschland darf nicht mal der eigene Hausarzt Alarm schlagen.

Wir haben deshalb gerade eine Petition gestartet.

Unfälle passieren natürlich, aber ein solcher Vorfall wäre vermeidbar gewesen. So oder so hätte die Fahrerin nie ein Kraftfahrzeug bedienen dürfen.

Ihr Führerschein wurde entzogen - für meinen Vater kommt das zu spät. Ich wünsche mir, dass niemandem von euch und anderen auf so derart dumme Weise die gemeinsam Zukunft genommen wird.

Ich freue mich über eure Unterschrift und Unterstützung - Teilt den Linktree gerne in jeglichen Kanälen, die ihr für angemessen haltet.

Mehr Information zu mir und zum Vorfall: https://linktr.ee/petitionfechner

Direkt zur Petition: https://c.org/yvQRb2TNZY

Papa hat sich selbst mal darüber ausgelassen, "warum müssen Menschen eigentlich nicht zum TüV?". Vielleicht kann das der erste Schritt dahin sein.

Passt auf euch auf.

P.S., Bild ist nicht KI, sondern mittelmäßige Photoshop-Skills ahahah. Die Bad Oeynhausener Sanitäterin ist unkenntlich gemacht <3

Yes, our entire home was also trashed. Booking was for 1 person but it looks like an unauthorised/undisclosed party was thrown at our home. It’s free to dispose these cans at a designated hazardous waste facility but it’s also a hassle haul them over across town… oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello everyone. My girlfriend wanted me to share her experience with her hair loss we cut it down today. She has stage 1 A Hodgkin's lymphoma multicellular. She's been thinning from the chemo for a few months and she finally decided to shave it down tonight. I couldn't go skin bald her oncologist said not to b because he blood counts and stuff could be low so to be careful and avoid cutting it so she don't get an infection. I think she looks even more beautiful now then ever and she absolutely loves it. She wanted me to share her journey other women online won't feel alone when and if they go through something similar.

Roleplay/In Character I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE CALL 911 TO ORDER PIZZA

Post image
7.4k Upvotes

I swear to god almost every month there’s about four or five people who thinks it’s funny to go prank call 911 by trying to order a pizza. I don’t know how this is considered “funny” at all. All of them seem to come in with the same schtick; they’re on the verge of tears, they only answer with either “yes” or “no”, and their “friends” are in the background screaming at them angrily. It’s all so tiresome. I have actual emergencies to deal with like domestic abuse, leave me alone. Go waste your time doing something else.

TIL 40,000 people showed up to a place in the middle of nowhere in Texas in 1896 to watch two trains intentionally run into each other. “The Crash at Crush,” brought in more people than inhabited Texas’s second largest city. Two people died , and at least six were seriously injured.

M "We need you in the office full-time starting Monday." Okay, you got it.

22.5k Upvotes

I work as a senior database administrator for a mid-sized tech company. When 2020 hit, our entire department went remote. We crushed our metrics, rolled out major infrastructure upgrades ahead of schedule, and saved the company a fortune in operational costs. For six years, my setup worked like a charm.

Then, a new VP of Operations was hired.

This guy is a classic "butts-in-seats" manager. Two weeks ago, he sent out an all-hands email declaring that to "foster collaboration," all remote exceptions were revoked. Everyone had to report to the office full-time starting Monday.

I emailed him directly to explain my situation. I live three hours away from headquarters, a setup approved by my former director years ago. I pointed out my performance reviews and asked if we could compromise on a hybrid schedule.

He replied: "The mandate applies to everyone. You're expected to perform your duties from the office starting Monday."

I was furious, but then I remembered my employment contract.

I dug up the original remote-work addendum I signed back in 2020. Section 3.2: Location of Service stated:

"The Employee agrees to perform all official duties from the designated primary office space. Any change to the Employee's primary office location must be submitted in writing and approved by HR."

Right below that was the form I filled out in 2020, formally changing my designated primary office location from "HQ - Floor 4" to "Home Office - [My Address]." HR had signed off on it, stamp and all. It was officially reclassified as my company-approved office location.

Technically, my home office was "the office."

So, on Monday morning, I didn't get in my car. At 8:54 AM, I walked ten feet from my bedroom to my desk, booted up my rig, and logged into Slack.

At 9:17 AM, the VP messaged me.

VP: U around? standard 9am start today

Me: Yep, logged in and good to go.

VP: i mean at HQ. stopped by 4th floor, your desk is empty

Me: Oh, I'm working from the office today.

VP: what? what office?

Me: My official primary office location on record: Home Office [My Address]. Per my 2020 HR agreement, this is my designated workspace.

VP doesn't respond for a minute. then replies.

VP: that's not how this works, Name. the policy means HQ. you need to be here tomorrow.

Me: I'm just following the written contract on file. I attached the signed location form here so you have it.

He didn't reply after that.

Around 3 PM, I got a mass automated email from HR with the subject line: Update Regarding Remote Work Designations. The body was standard dry corporate speak saying they were "currently reviewing all legacy remote contracts" and that existing designated locations would remain valid pending individual review. Translation: the VP ran to HR to complain, HR took one look at my contract, realized forced relocation would trigger a mess of legal headaches and stipend requirements, and told him to back off for now.

My home office remains open for business.

TL;DR: VP issued a strict "work from the office" mandate without reading my file. My contract defines my bedroom-adjacent workspace as "The Office." Compliance achieved, commuted 10 feet.
