Well, sometimes the paperwork requirements for VA appraisals can be really confusing. One horror story is that a homeowner had to provide the same documents multiple times because the appraiser's office couldn't keep track of what they had already received. The homeowner spent hours on the phone and in person trying to sort it out, all while the closing date of the sale was approaching and in jeopardy due to this paperwork chaos.
Sure. In some cases, the VA appraiser requests additional paperwork at the last minute. For instance, a veteran was trying to close on a home. Right before the final approval, the appraiser asked for more documents regarding some minor repairs that were made. It was a scramble to get the paperwork in time, and it almost derailed the whole deal.
Sure. There was a pilot who had all his medical paperwork in order, but the FAA lost some of his forms. He then had to resubmit everything and wait for a long time. This delay affected his flying schedule and caused him financial losses as he had to cancel some flights he was supposed to do for clients.
There was a case where the VA appraiser missed major renovations done on a property. The homeowner had spent a great deal on upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms, but the appraiser seemed to overlook these improvements. As a result, the appraisal value didn't reflect the true worth of the house. It was a nightmare for the homeowner who was relying on a fair appraisal for a refinance.
Well, I heard of a VA horror story where a virtual assistant was supposed to manage a client's social media accounts. But they made a big mistake in a post that was offensive to a large group of people. It caused a huge backlash against the client, and the VA didn't realize the error until it was too late. The client lost a lot of followers and had to work hard to regain their reputation.
Sure. In some cases, the employer fails to communicate clearly about FMLA requirements. An employee might submit a request, but the employer doesn't clearly state what additional information is needed. So the employee keeps submitting incomplete forms, and the leave is not approved in time.
Some founders face horror stories in the form of contract disputes. For instance, a founder entered into a contract with a supplier. But the contract terms were not clear, and the supplier took advantage of the loopholes. The founder ended up paying much more than expected for raw materials, which severely affected the company's profit margins.
Well, there was a case where an appraisal system was very unclear. An employee thought they were doing really well, exceeding their targets. However, in the appraisal, they were rated poorly because the management had some unspoken expectations that were never communicated. It led to a lot of frustration and the employee eventually left the company.
In some cases, the appeals process for VA disability benefits is a horror in itself. It can take years and requires a lot of legal knowledge. Veterans who are already dealing with their disabilities often don't have the energy or resources to go through this long and complex process. A veteran with a hearing impairment had his initial benefit claim denied. He spent two years trying to appeal, during which time he had to hire a lawyer and still faced a lot of pushback from the VA.
Well, there are cases where xanax has caused breathing problems. One man took xanax as prescribed but still developed a condition where his breathing became shallow and labored. He was constantly feeling out of breath and it was really scary for him. His doctors had to adjust his treatment plan and monitor him closely to make sure he didn't have any more serious respiratory issues.
A common safety - related 'child care horror story' is about a babysitter who smoked around the kids. Second - hand smoke is very harmful to children. Also, there have been cases where the cribs in a daycare were not up to safety standards. The slats were too wide, and a baby could have easily gotten stuck. There was also a situation where a childcare provider left cleaning chemicals within reach of the children, which is extremely dangerous.
In one case, the HR interviewer was on the phone during the in - person interview. They were half - listening to the candidate and half - talking on the phone. The candidate felt so unimportant and it was clear that the interviewer wasn't taking the process seriously. This is a real horror story in terms of communication during an interview.
