Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Amazon folks: Cancel vacation in PeopleSoft as soon as you get layoff notice, before access is cut off. In WA, unused “regular PTO” is paid out on separation. But if you have vacation scheduled during your notice period, your leave balance will be debited by that amount. 020

Mid Beacon Hill @midbeaconhill.bsky.social · 26/04/2025This article notes that many incarcerated folks need to turn to commissaries to ensure adequate nutrition, but those menus are also largely starch-based, with only a couple proteins (eg, tuna and high-sodium beef stew) and no fiber-rich produce. 110
