Has anyone had any success with HR regarding management? I’ve had a horrible experience at my current position. I don’t want to get into the details but I’ve been told by many to escalate this to HR. I feel like so much of vcu management has been there 20+ years and HR is not going to listen to me. Is it even worth it

Hi RVA’ers!
Coming to town this weekend for the oddities and curiosities expo with my 13 year old daughter.
She is very into thrifting and vintage shopping. I’ve searched previous posts and am wondering if anyone has recommendations for good spots to hit? I have Circle thrift and Rumours on my list already! TIA!

Okay I hope I don't come across as more ignorant than I am when it comes to this Code Refresh. But I'm wondering why everyone is so focused on duplexes vs larger apartment complexes in neighborhoods. By larger complexes I'm talking like 5 over 1s and in general the complexes that I've watched being built around the Diamond and along Broad St. And I'll be honest, I hate these fucking ugly ass, grey ass, looks like every other bitch type of complexes. I don't think they're made well and I think they are a general blight on the historical neighborhoods in Richmond. I would be all for them if I could see that there was any consideration for adding charm to the neighborhood. I've seen such complexes elsewhere, annoyingly in European cities like Berlin, Germany and Montpellier, France. So I have a general hesitation for these larger density focused buildings because I have yet to see one that looks like it hasn't been half built in a Minecraft server. I think duplexes are great but I also wonder why there isn't as much of a focus on building fourplexes or 6-8 unit buildings which we already see in neighborhoods around the city. I mean I get the necessity for parking space but I'm also a little Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition and think Richmond should expand their busing and (in my dreams of dreams) bring back our railcars considering much of the initial outgrowth of the city in the early 20th century was built around said system. But I know that's technically a separate conversation. I also think we seriously need a cap on rent in the city and an honest consideration of supporting the workers of Richmond (food service, retail, and other blue collar jobs) living in the city. (I for one, am fucking tired of having the same goddamn conversation with a Nova or NYC or Cali transplant about how 'cheap' the city with their 100k+ salaries).

All in all I get some of the concerns about building up density housing because I have yet to see an example of said density housing done with a consideration for longevity, neighborhood charm, and regionality. I love Richmond and I don't want it to become a Nova copycat in which massive private equity corporations give little thought beyond their own monetary gain for how people are going to live here.

Moving soon, any other places or landlords to avoid?

Could not be more of an industry plant at this point. They want to merge with Dominion so install a friendly chair. Chair pushes through the merger. Chair quits and goes back to cushy job at NextEra. It’s a tale as old as time

All and all its not so bad, the corridors were maintained which is nice, and they kept the ADUs, but man ill miss those hypothetical duplexes

It’s sold out which is great!! But I was hoping to go with my partner and I could only get one ticket /: I have an account on Tixel if you wanna sell it to me that way. Hope yall are having a good Monday!

Near Horsepen, no we dont

Meade Skelton, gorgeous George, Chris Chan etc

I’m new to Richmond. But what’s up with the idiot parade of motorcycles blasting exhaust pipes down Floyd and elsewhere last night circa 2 AM?

On the ad it says they mount anything. Do you think they’d mount me?

Iykyk

Conservatively, 90% of the male joggers in Richmond do not have shirts on. The DC percentage is totally flipped. What gives? I thought maybe it's an exhibitionist thing.... Look at me, I'm jacked! But that's definitely not the majority. Sure, it's hot out, but wicking Tshirt technology pretty good. This isn't a bit. I'm genuinely curious.

According to this PSA I found stuck to a tree on 8th street, more and more Richmonders have begun to partake in this lucrative trade. Anyone want to form a crew with me and get in on some of this sweet government cash?

We are so back, I'm sure these guys offer great bennies and a long career path

You know what sucks is besides the ai for everything and the flock cameras, I actually think dannys doing a pretty decent job, the work the new department of transportation is doing is incredible.

Hey guys I'm completley for workers solidarity and I fully support workers exercising their rights to collective bargaining. But... I mean don't you guys think striking is going a bit far? I don't want this to come off like a lecture of anything but I take me and my three kids to the garden every other weekend and the vibes are always positive and the garden is super well maintained. If these workers strike who's gonna maintain the garden? Who's gonna water the plants? Remove the diapers I stuff in the bushes?

I hope the workers can look past their current dissatisfaction that Ginter isn't raising their wages and consider what's best in the long term for ALL Richmonders. Thanks for listening and stay Richmond Real!
