GM. I'll get two weeks still as an AGM. When I become an AGM (late spring, early-mid summer), I gotta spend around six months in that position before I become a GM, so hopefully by the end of the year or early 2012 I'll be a GM. It's really up to me, how hard I work at it.

Only 6-months from a fresh AGM to GM? Sounds a bit rushed, unless you're blowing someone. Who you blowing?

He's spending his shifts trying to blow himself, that should (and does) count for something.

Usually it's about a year, but my regional manager says that with my experience, and the fact that I am actually doing some of the training as we speak, it'll be sixish months for me.

Well godspeed then; when you become GM, I expect free suites with a hooker and not one of those $150.00 whores either. Go classy.

Oh you'll get free suites when you come to whatever town I'm working in. Hookers? I'll get you a 10 dollar teeth dragging mother of four.

qualified- as in has a good trade or qualified for the unpayed leave?

Qualified for the leave. You must work at least 1,250 hours a year at your job to qualify. The business must have at least 50 employees and you or an immediate family member who lives with you must have a qualifying medical condition, and there are a lot of them. Your employer, a lawyer, or even a judge cannot determine any of these....only a Doctor can.

People will try to abuse laws, of course, but in the case of decent social law like this, that's no reason to dislike the law; it's a reason to improve its policing.

I agree, I personally have FMLA for diabetes and another condition I won't mention here, when my mother was alive and living with me I had it for her. I think it's a good law. I started this thread because it's becoming a commonly abused law...which is hard to police, and it's a HUGE point contention among the business community in the US

That seems fair enough, really.

Huh and here I was expecting a lecture on employer's rights.

I can give one of those, I think, if you really want.

But on the whole I am not opposed to unpaid leave in special circumstances.
