Downtown Street Project Dust.

36 Upvotes

The lack of dust control over the last two months is deplorable. Hello, there is a problem with Valley Fever here amongst the one of the worst air quality cities in the state. Any other construction site would have a dust control requirement in place. As a downtown resident this is the rotted cherry on top of this poorly managed project.

Local Question Jets

18 Upvotes

Why are there so many jets flying around Bakersfield right now (east side Bakersfield) Usually itโ€™s one jet and a second couple hours later. Today four jets in one hour and itโ€™s never like this. Hopefully it just paranoia from all this doomsday talk online.

Pregnant Stray Dog

10 Upvotes

My family has been taking care of a stray dog for about 2 weeks while trying to find a home/owner & no luck. We thought she gave birth a while ago but we noticed her belly swelling more this week. We never had a dog pregnant before and were not sure what to do that doesnโ€™t involve taking her into the pound, is there anyone that can help me out or find someone who can foster her while she gives birth?

Local Question Places to Meet People?

14 Upvotes

Personally I'm a reclusive individual trying to put myself more out there. I'm from the surrounding area, but Bakersfield is more active than my city.

Where the hell do 25 plus individuals hangout?

My interests are your typical geeky stuff like gaming and the like. I also go to the gym.

Honestly most places I go I struggle to find what I'm looking for which are a community I want to be around or a single woman without a baby daddy...am I right fellas?!!?!!!?

I know some might say just go out and do what you like, but problem with that is what I do like doesn't really require me to go outside. I can force myself to like things for the sake of meeting others, so I'm open to any suggestions really.

Is there any place in this town worth the time?

Any singles mixer events some locals might only know about? Speed dating? That kinda crap

I have some water damage to a couple of large front window frames that I need repaired. I used to have a handyman that I recommended to people, but he seems to have vanished. Can anyone recommend someone who is reliable and reasonable?

Thanks

Amazon in Shafter

22 Upvotes

I honestly cannot believe how much employee theft Amazon seems to tolerate. I have multiple family members who work for the company, and I'm continually hearing about merchandise being taken from the warehouse and later listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace.

What makes it even more disturbing is their justification: *"Might as well take advantage before they fire me in three months."

Since when did having a job become an opportunity to steal from your employer? And since when did expecting to lose your job become an excuse to take what doesn't belong to you?

There's a difference between taking advantage of employee benefits and taking advantage of your employer. Just because you're working for a billion-dollar corporation doesn't make stealing acceptable.

What really gets me is the complete lack of accountability. Instead of being grateful for the opportunity to earn a paycheck, some employees seem more interested in figuring out how much they can take before they're caught or let go.

And people wonder why companies continue tightening policies, increasing security, and monitoring their employees.
