NJ Woman sues her employer over her commute

[brokenaperture]

Ha, she thinks she's special. That's cute.

I try to imagine that bringing this up to any boss and their response... "Oh that's neat. Have fun with some ARE YOUR DRUNK? NOPE."

When we moved from Bogota to East Rutherford, my commute to Edgewater went from 12 minutes to 30 minutes, and now MORRREEEEEE since construction has begun at the 46 circle and bridge in Little Ferry.

Should I demand $30,000 more a year and working 20 less hours a week? It seems I am entitled to this cause gosh darnit making that left onto Railroad Ave in Ridgefield Park just gives me a daily "shucksy doodle!" and I'm worried about my health or something.

This site below has more details, but be sure that you view the video embedded in that site, in which CC denies that Ingelsino is one of his fund raisers. It's a good thing that he didn't tell that lie in a courtroom, where he could be prosecuted for perjury.

If you want to question Ingelsino's integrity, just remember...Birds of a feather flock together...

Actually, Ingelsino was the father of Rachel's friend; he was not the lawyer. The lawyer, Tanya Helfand, was a friend/associate of his, whose career is no doubt now on a downward curve based on her performance

It was a joke.

Yup!
With unethical attorneys, almost anything is possible...

So was AG CC charged with a crime and convicted?
Did he lose his license to practice law?
No bids can be good or they can be unethical or they can be illegal. So somehow CC went from AG to Governor with the media and electorate aware of his actions as AG.

Who was the D senator who claimed CC was guilty of a crime re Sandy, because he did not choose the lowest bidder? Who was that D senator who tried to imply it is a criminal or an ethical violation to not choose the contractor with the lowest bid? So the implication is all you neeed to do when taking bids from a contractor to redo your kitchen is go for the lowest bidder. forget Angie's List, who needs it.
that dem is assured of re-election.

Who is the Dem senator still under investigation who has a record of being investigated and still gets re-elected?

Got news for you Quid pro qou is how business and politics work. So Rush Holt wants to get legislation passed and he needs Pallone's vote. Pallone may not be all for Holt's idea but has a bill of his own that needs votes, so he signs on to support Holt.

QPQ is the stuff of politics. It is not unethical or criminal unless it violates the law.

Guess who made out lile a bandit on the reconstruction of the Victory Bridge? Could it have been the hubby of a gov?

It's sad this woman was actually able to take leave on disability due to her 'commute anxiety.' Before I moved my commute was terrible. You know what I did? I left earlier, and worked it out with my manager so that I could leave a little before 4pm so that I could get home within a reasonable hour (while coming in earlier in the morning). The commute still sucked but hey...that's life. Leave earlier, or move somewhere closer to work.

In a month I'll get a claim for her car accident with 'whiplash'....

It is left to the person to decide if the commute is reasonable for them.
It is not permitted for the interviewer to decide on hiring a person based on distance they live from work.

Of course they can. In fact a lot of sales jobs require people to live in a specific territory. The only things that are prohibited from affecting a hiring decision (supposedly) are being part of protected classes such as the disabled.
