One of our own #wawx members is recovering from a pretty bad bout of Covid. He's been in the community for a decade plus now, I've talked with him on Twitter since I joined the platform.
If any of you guys have an acct over there, go and wish him a speedy further recovery.
Hey all, I'm officially new to this forum but I've lurked around here every once in a few days since December 2021 to follow on the snow forecasts, and ever since I just generally lurked to follow the weather while learning things bit by bit.

The crazy thing is that as an American, I have seen my vacation time actually DECREASE since being bought out by a French Company. The site I worked at got closed and folks got absorbed into another division, and in the process my almost 6 weeks of PTO (I worked there 18 years) with a 6.5 week cap, got cut down to 4.5 weeks.
The biggest thing I would love to see (not necessarily a French thing) would be a 4 day work week. My previous tenure at the company, I was salary and working with a Japanese customer. Since our Friday was their Saturday, we usually cut out about 1-2pm on Fridays.
I worked briefly for a refinery services company and they did the same thing, working 9-ish hour days Monday through Thursday, then on Friday we would check in for a few hours in the morning then the rest of the day was ours.
My current role, everything happens at 5pm on Friday.
